I've been making Tin foil swans for some reason or effect whenever I put away leftovers. I decided it's time to make a tiny one from a lego brick because camp.

Bit more of a tinfoil peacock but whatever.

I see others have recommended Photobucket. I used to swear by them myself, but then strange things started happening, after years of using it with no problem. They only allow a limited amount of external bandwidth a month, and even when I was hardly posting things anywhere I would find myself quickly exceeding the limit every month! Within a few days of the start of any 30 day cycle, anything I had anywhere would turn into this:

Most annoying.

I've since been using Imgur, and so far have had no problems there. (Or, for photos I've already put up on my personal website on Weebly, I've been able to hotlink those with no problems.)

Nice! Since I only have one Classics Magnus (which, honestly, is enough for me*) the closest I've been able to do is to pose him with Optimus, or just have him striping out of his own armor:

Always good to see some love for that Galvatron. Yeah, he's not necessarially the greatest toy ever... But to hear many people speak, he was a total waste of plastic. But he's got a home in my collection, to be sure:

Anyway, last night I transformed the figures on one of my shelves, and even though I'm sure I've taken (and shared) similar photos in the past, I couldn't help but to shoot a new one:

(Click for full size.)

Really looking forward to replacing that Arcee very soon, although that Animated Arcee with the custom head has served me well for a number of years. (Also looking forward to, at the same time, finally completing my Metroplex with the aid of a third party Six-gun.)

* And I am sure is probably enough for you as well, if not for extenuating circumstances. Based on other comments I've seen, I guess you had a yellowing issue. Sorry to hear that happened, and happy you were able to find another Magnus!

God I HAAAATE this. And worse there's no way to track your pics to see if anyone's hotlinking your stuff. I had 3 separate accounts and still had trouble with this.
Plus they positively drown the user pages in print shop nonsense (when did this even happen?), something I have no interest in and would rather not allow anyone else do with my stuff.

I've been using Imgur lately, and it's a way better experience. The only issue there is suddenly losing an hour because you can't stop clicking the images on the home page. :lol:

I'm just amused that the image search I did to find an image of Photoshop's bandwidth exceeded placeholder image led me to an image of it on some other random person's Photoshop account... I suppose I'll feel a bit bad if my using that person's image contributes to their going over their bandwidth for the month... On the bright side, however, if they do it at least shouldn't effect the image I used here!

But yeah... I agree on Imgur!

You ever have a moment where you think up something HILARIOUS, and you just HAVE to share it, but then, as you're telling this stray thought to someone, you come to the horrifying realization that it's not actually funny?

So I made this comic, and it was hilarious as I was doing it, but when I was almost done I realized that it really wasn't. But I goddamn finished it anyway!

Not sure if I find it funny but I know it would be more fun at least without the troll meme.

I know. I was just putting all the pictures together when I thought that it wasn't funny. Now I feel like I need to do something to make up for it XD

I think if youjust remove the troll meme, it could be simple fun. I think it's still cute though.

Alright, alternate ending.

Posted as separate pages, because Twitters compression made it unreadable.

I didnt know the end result would be so disapointing. At least, the scout by itself is considered good so that's something.

By "combine" is it just transporting the thing on it's back? Because if memory serve, those planes cant combine for real officially in bot mode outside of fan-moding.

The overcraft carrying the land vehicle is much better looking.

I could never figure out the combined robot mode for Mindwipe-Skystalker, felt like you had to jam the little guy in where he was not meant to go. And all it did was add a pair of wings onto Mindwipe's chest.
So instead I tack Skystalker and Sunspot on Mindwipe's shoulders like a shoulder angel and demon:

Though Soundwave keeps threatening to take Mindwipe's little buddies.

Sunspot stands out less in this trio.
