Ok.

I'm going to give this a shot. I posted a couple of posed pics in the UK toy sightings forum and got all inspired.

Ok first attempt... The Decepticon Brothers - Skyquake and Dreadwing.

Nice pics and nice review Gema.

Your right about that Swoop being quite "busy" with all those details. There certainly seems to be a lot of superfluous sculpting on every part of his body. I would have preferred a cleaner design myself but it is FOC after all.
WIth that being said......it's cool to see Swoop get a figure.

Nice dinos!

The black background really makes the colours pop, will read the review later.

agreed! not just him, all the rest of the Dinobots also, haha. Another is that, Caelus 'super detail' kind of put Grimlock out of the spotlight.

Another team shot taken waaaaay back in the day. I'm a fan of the Mutants.

Cool Dinobots pic. You made me grab my G1 Grimlock from the drawer.

I loved the toy as a kid, it was a great toy in both modes and it looked a lot like his cartoon counterpart (yeah, I know it's the other way around

) even down to the transformation. He'd have looked even better in robot mode though if his head could slide a cm forward.

I also had Sludge. And as a kid also I loved the grey/gold/silver colour scheme, the translucent parts with the details underneath, the secret compartments (which I guess were originally cockpits for the Diaclone operators.) and the articulated beast mouths.

That was the first thing I did once Rhinox was in beast mode, too. :lol:

Yeah. The more I look at that pic the funnier I think it is. I marvel at the ridiculousness of it. I also like Rattraps pose in the top pic.
Good pics

So, they got you too, huh?
What?
The cyclops face, you're a fellow victim of the old empurata.
I was born with this face.
Oh.

I found the perfect thing to complete my Generations Metroplex. The tiny ROTF keychains. I found all 8 of them, randomly thrown into a final clearance bin of random toys in a toy warehouse. Total price for the set was barely 13$ total. Not too bad. Of course, these little buggers cant transform, but they are greatly detailed and are somewhat painted. Yeah, that's a clash of timelines and universes, to put movie toys on a classic figure, but meh, close enough. It's almost as if I bought the SDCC version!
