Thanks Shaj --the Big Convoy mold is so wonderful, it makes me still want Big Black Convoy & Ultra Mammoth! But I am absolutely loving Universe Nemesis Prime.
"Super Black" Convoy could now bend time-space to pull others throughout the multiverse to his exact location (albeit temporarily) -- like Summoning from Final Fantasy.
L1ght our darkest hour...
Using the Autobot Enigma, he summons Elita-Pr1me. Affixed with the Autobot Matrix of Leadership in her central core, she blasts Unicron in a searing light-beam that critically weakens him.
9999 CRITICAL HIT
Destiny....YOU CANNOT...!
Super Black then delivers the deathblow with the Master Sword, making short work of Armada Unicron.
All too easy.

Which works out well -- Elita & Convoy haven't seen each other in centuries.

Reun1on
Maybe you should hold onto me!
FIN~
After destroying Unicron, his essence began to scatter -- but not before Super Black absorbed this darkness, creating the Dark Matrix.
Once upon a time, Nemesis Prime was a slave to a dark god.
Motto:"Let the trails lead where they may. I will follow."
Weapon: Air-To-Air Heat Seeking Missiles
Also, nice Princess Bride reference XD Nemesis Convoy riding the wolf was a nice touch! A few of those captions had me rolling!
I have a feeling this isn't the end of the story, despite the happy ending presented here. It makes me curious as to the direction you'll go with it Thank you, as always, for putting these together! They're highly entertaining
Also not sure how you manage some of your photography, but I love the way Elite-Pr1me looks in the first picture. It's like she's lit up, or powering up XD

Going simply by 'Convoy', our hero settles into a quiet life with Elita-Pr1me in her universe.
Cronny Darko
Nightmares of Unicron continue to haunt him, however, and the Dark Matrix isn't enough to contain the pure evil....
G1 Skullgrin, too!
Led by Liege Maximo, Convoy finally tracks down Galvatron to seek salvation.
Believing him to be a variant of his Shattered Glass incarnation, Convoy asks him about the Chaos Bringer -- but no answers are offered, and no fuses given. Galvatron recognizes Convoy, and offers him salvation -- in destruction.
Elita-Pr1me SMASH
Such heroic nonsense.
CHOOM
"Skullgrin" seizes this opportunity to assume direct control...
Oh, he totally has, Shaj! I just love the figure so much -- and I also dig dark heroes.
I got two sweet packages in the mail today: VS-36 (Mach Kick Vs Archadis!)
For the Kids (& Me!)
and KILLER PUNCH
Friends of *PUNCH*
(thanks again, buddy! I really love mandarake....)
I will be opening up KillaP tonight, but will let my girl open up the Vs pack on her birthday. She's excited for Mach Kick.
I'm not ripping through BW2 as fast as I'd like, since I started Pillars of Eternity on PS4. But I'm still watching them. Oh, and I also ripped through all 12 episodes of Death Parade -- what a great show.
I've been taking so many pics lately, but hadn't thought about how I wanted it all to play out in my head-canon.....and as strong as my newfound love for the Beast era is, there will always be a special place in my heart for the original G1 characters. Especially Megatron....
HEAVY METAL DINO WAR
With KillaP in tha house, I imagine him, Bazooka and Magmatron will have to rebuild Cybertron after the fall of MegaHead....we'll see.
EDITs! P.S. Wow, is dat Mammoth panel-y!
No one expects the Super Black Stampede!
I like it -- I transformed Convoy last night, without instructions. It only took me an hour, and I took a pic of my favorite angle. ;p
With Skullgrin's betrayal still sizzling his circuits, Convoy tracks down MP-36 Megatron to exact some semblance of revenge for Elita-1....but honestly, hunting Megatron across the multiverse has gotten addicting.
In the months leading up to the Great War, Convoy finds Megatron preparing to unleash his Phase Sixers on Cybertron.
Maximal Vengeance? That's just Prime.
Armed with the Master Sword, Big Badd Woolly, a bloodlust for vengeance and his hubris, Convoy takes 'em all on....
BREACH HIS DEFENSES

Have mercy, Nemesis Prime!

BANG.
The End
500 years later...
Former-Predacon-turned-Vehicon-and-self-proclaimed-Decepticon Megatron installs a long-dormant cold spark into a proper fitting...and
Thanks, Wingz -- I figure when you mess with time travel, it should eventually circle back somehow! All I knew for sure was that Nemesis Prime and MP-36 had to face-off, sooner or later.
Imma call you Dumbo!
Killer Punch is an excellent figure -- lovely Destron-purple coloring, wonderful molding/details, and I haven't even transformed him yet.
KILLA P
The Dinos Are (Not) Dead
Hey Shaj! My Girl might be more excited about Archadis, thanks to his coloring, but it's all good -- both kids will enjoy these beasts.
My daughter opened up Mach Kick and Archadis yesterday -- she loves the latter, but let her brother have Mach Kick.
Although the set was MISB, Mach Kick was a bit loose -- he's in pristine condition from what I can tell -- but pops off that ball-joint for his torso very easily. Like you look at him, and he wants to separate. Now imagine trying to transform him (back to horse mode) without the instructions as he's popping off all over the place, and you have a recipe for frustration!
But ultimately, satisfaction as well, when he did finally fit together properly. I will have to get pics of him in horse mode (I got plans!), but he looks absolutely great as a bot.
Allzabout Horseplay
At least Archadis can be transformed fairly easily by My Girl (dad does not have to help lol), and she gave me his gun to hold onto.
EDIT: Hun-Gurrr is cool.
He don't mind stealing bread, from the mouths of decadence.
Mach KICK's looseness is disappointing, for sure, but I can't help but love his look and modes -- I didn't transform him into weapon (?) mode though. :p
But yes, My Girl definitely is happy! And she's not even as diehard as me and my son.
Predacon Styrax was nothing special. As an Intelligence Officer, he was no gentleman when it came to extracting information -- and that's all any bot cared to know.
ROUND 2, FIGHT!
Looking a gift horse in the mouth
Called "Stare Hard" by the other 'Cons, he felt destiny guiding him by the hand as he channeled all his frustration into his right arm as he faced-off against Mach Kick...
Mach *KICK*!
As legend has it, his rage over the subjugation of the Predacons manifested in the form of his fist -- and unleashing his "Killer Punch" cut Mach Kick completely in half!
Shun Goku Satsu (aka, the Raging Demon)!
Seeing her friend and bodyguard's severed torso, Windblade whips Styrax's @$$, sending him and Bazooka running....
She MAD
Heel-Stomp-to-Slasher
...but at what cost?
The rest is silence.
The Predacons report in to Lt. Bearscream, with Bazooka bragging about Styrax's unparalleled strength -- and a Fist of Legend is born:
Windblade is still steamed over Mach Kick's new "playing dead" technique.
Still MAD

KP is very cool, Cobo -- I just had to finish the fight for him & Mr. KICK!
I already liked KP as a dino, but wow, in bot mode his bad-assery truly shines -- he's armed to the teeth! I still prefer to have the dinohead on his arm, but it looks good on his back, no doubt.
It really is impossible to have a pony and not have anybot ride it! I feel the same way about pterodactyls, wolves and giant warthogs, too.
Hang on Swoopy

There's nothing but love for Beast modes!
Rumors of Faux-Fur's death have been greatly exaggerated.
Hey pig piggy pig pig pig -- all of my fears came true~
Stayin' Gold
But don't think that Kick's out of the doghouse just yet...!
Can I have my legs back now...? No? :(

I was so tempted to impulse-buy MP32 Friday night...but just before pulling the trigger, I did a quick search on MP32 vs MP38, read Cobo's review of MP38, and visited the MP32 topic.
A banana for your thoughts...
And even though I can find MP38 cheaper, I'm sucha whore when it comes to cartoon accuracy. >_<
Well, that's just PERFECT
When I think of toys vs cartoon design, the prime example for me is always G1 Optimus Prime. I loved him till both his arms fell off (then he became Dead Optimus!), but man, he looked a lot more bad ass in the cartoon we watched.
I would've waited an eternity to have a perfect incarnation of him from The Movie -- and I think we finally did (many times over lol).
I'll rip out your optics!
Same thing with MP36 -- I've had numerous versions of Megatron, but my first MP for him was not until the very latest got reissued.
And he was certainly worth the wait; especially for those who wanted a faithful adaptation of Megatron from The Movie.
Don't leave me...
It was different with Soundwave -- I wanted the yellow optics because of the original G1 toy.
But back to Beast Wars, it was Garry Chalk that made Primal a unique and cool Not-Prime-But-Primal. I eventually came around to the fact he wasn't the same character as my G1 Prime, and had a visible mouth.
By the end of season 1, I grew to love the look. Unfortunately, BW Megatron outwitted Primal....
I could never really get into his second body, despite the cyber surfboard, and scored Optimal on the cheap.
With my order for MP32 now pending, I plan to skip his upcoming PotP figure. Especially since I prefer the original Transmetal Optimal Optimus figure (name-tag & all!).
The looks just come down to personal preference, of course.
I hear you about Primal's Transmetal form. I initially was like ....but he grew on me. I think for a couple reasons.
I got into Beast Wars kind of late, and largely missed out on the Wave 1'ers because of that. And that meant a big chunk of the cast. I remember clear as day, seeing the toys in the store LOOONG before I ever saw the show and I was positively baffled when I read Beast Wars "TRANSFORMERS". I thought it was some sort of mistake, a knock-off, or something, and immediately dismissed them. Fast forward to me realizing they were not only legit, but awesome and coupled with an amazing show, and now it was too late for me to get many of the Season 1 characters. Namely, Primal and Megatron.
So. Season 2 comes along, and I snatch up Primal and Megatron as fast as I can, marking the first toy incarnations of the characters I'm able to get. I think that's one of the reasons I have such a soft spot for him. Not to mention it is a really goofy and fun toy. The other reason I think is he was given time to age. When airing in Canada, I could be wrong, but it at least felt like it was a year in between seasons. I watched it as it aired, one episode at a time, then had to wait forever for season 3 and his third body. So I think I had more time to get used to him. Whereas you watched season 2 in what? A day? A week? I can understand why you're not a fan of that form
Now I totally wanna play with Primal V2, Shaj! I can imagine if I had watched the show live (as opposed to my binge!), everything would have had time to soak in more...marinate, and age into characters I could enjoy over several years, instead of weeks.
The characters have endured, and I'm glad I was able to enjoy them all -- I already wanna watch through both Beast series again, but I'm in the middle of the Japanese BW-series.
So which Beast Megatron figure was your favorite? If there does end up being an MP BW Megatron, it's gonna make me feel DEM WANTS.
I do feel it for Dinobot -- it really is just the price tag. MP36 was expensive as hell....but it was Megatron! And I've known him for decades.
Golden SUMMERS
EDIT! It all started while I was casually hunting Universe Optimus Primal...
....but there's just no favorable comparison when he's pitted against MP32.
