Exactly how many times did you ride the escalator to get these pics?

To be funny and sound more impressive: 17. humans kept getting into the pictures, a cute asain girl decided to ask me what I was doing, some half-drunk guy asked me what the hell I was doing, I saved rewind from the jaws of death 3 times, and the escalator going up was a long ways away so I tried running up the escalator to try again!

In truth: this was a set of escalators that wasn't running between the lobby and ballroom floors and no one was within 100 feet of being able to see me cause the section was deserted. :-D

That's adorable. Hopefully I'll be getting the Decepticon versions of those molds soon.

He is VERY awesome.

Just got him this past weekend as a birthday gift (along with Slag), 100% complete as far as accessories go (including extra missile), with no stickers ever applied, chrome in great condition. Only thing it's missing is the sticker sheet itself. Super cool figure, though! Been enjoying the heck out of him since I got him! The Kasem-bots are near and dear to my heart. The only thing is that his extendo-legs seem a bit rickety. They don't really click into place, so when you stand him up, he drops down a bit under the weight of himself. Not sure of a way to fix that yet, thought about unscrewing that little panel behind his knees and tinkering with what I find.

Maybe reprolabels for the sheet?

Eh, I kind of like him blank. He's better that way, without all those unnecessary, inaccurate markings all over him.

I was just more or less saying it would be nice to have completion wise, not so much for application. Thanks anyway, regardless.

Ah gotcha! I also tend to go with naked toys these days too....if only I could paint.

So what do you think of this guy? I thought he was the best looking offering, but in hand, he just felt a bit on the weak side. Ultimatly I sold him and rebought Speedbump.

Im a fan of the entire Ocular Max line from Mastermind Creations. The engineering is there along with the aesthetics. They have that look that i like with a premium feel. Transformations are intuitive and not intimidating which enhances the playability.

I love MMC - dunno if I want Calidus or Boreas next...!

Optimal Optimus is a lot of fun. :MAXIMAL:

Prime Deluxe Soundwave. Neato figure, very spooky, they captured the character well in plastic. The question I have and I think I know the answer; reprolabels? :-?

Fantastic pose and picture by the way ;)^

Peeps seem pretty split about this guy, but I'm firmly on the Roadbuster is **** awesome camp

News Credits: 2 · by **SureShot18** » Fri Mar 10, 2017 8:31 pm

I like Roadbuster too, for the most part. Mine had a couple of loose joints and the construction is kinda thin for someone who should be a beefy character. Lot of great ideas with some flaws in execution.

Oh and since this is a photo thread...

Just to post yet another couple photos of this shelf...

Normally, I like keeping everyone on a shelf in the same mode, but I really had an urge to see Fort Max as a base surrounded by everyone as robots, rather than just him acting as a glorified parking lot.

You know... Fort Max may not have all of the functionality everyone may have hoped, and could have used more retooling from his Metroplex origins... But I'm still finding him a damn fine toy, and am happy to have him in my collection.
