Holy crap that Megatron is a good find. I'm assuming it was a steal too?

Hey Shaj! TM2 Megz was $25, but only had 1/3 of his missiles and had a bit of battle breakage on his lower back panel, by his left wings. I didn't notice because I was blinded by the need to have him!

: Dawn of the Red Dragon

: SHORYUKEN

Thanks ZeroWolf & Cobbes! :MAXIMAL:

Optimal is very photogenic, and Megz too...but Novastar is a looker as well.

: Fiery!

And with her obtained, and Punch on his way, that's it for me and the Power of the Primes.

I am hoping the collection I have now is more than enough to continue to be inspired -- but plastic crack addiction is a serious thing. And I do love toyphotography...!

: Optimal's Angels (?)

Wow, I love the guns making the sceptor longer on Primal!!

and I feel ya with Punch Bod, after him, it's 2 limbs and an OPOP for me for PotP!

And that's not even Megatron's draconic form, Zero!

The extendo-scepter just feels right, D-Max. I might shorten it by one, but never the original size anymore.

I haven't heard of any sightings for OPOP yet in the States, but I'm sure Target will have him (since Walmart gave up on leaders lol).

Cobo's pics of Nemesis Pax-Prime made me very tempted....but I'm afraid it's baby Alt-Mode and TFUniverse Nemesis Primes only for now.

: Where's the Autobrat I know...?

Unicronus and Novastar look good together -- I bet her color scheme looks familiar to him.

: Nice Guys Finish Last

: A Spider Scorned

: Fatal Attraction(s)

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!! You got TM2 Megatron!!! Awesome stuff!! Reminds me of when I picked up a complete w/box Energon Galvatron that was "missing his sword". It was stored in alt mode!! Great mix of shots and bots and thrones and scepters!!

Thanks Zero! I am really liking those two, especially together.

Hi Crammy! I felt TM2 Megz is one of those ones no one can resist if you don't already own one (or don't buy Beast Wars -- blasphemy lol). I am just waiting for a chance to take more pics

Jealous feels be REAL!

The Scepter works for so many things ;p

I have been finding more flea markets, as the vintage toy stores increase their prices (and actually have less robits available!). I suppose that's the way it goes -- as long as deals can still be found!

I saw Action Master Mainframe and his li'l bot buddy Push-Button for $20...I would've paid $10ish.

I had seen Binaltech Hound in there a month ago but couldn't cough up the $50 -- he was gone, of course. ;_;

Blackie is actually one of the original Beast Wars toys my brother bought when she was first released back in the day! The kids thought she looked cool and she's been here ever since. I wouldn't mind more incarnations of her, but I really like her original form (show accuracy be damned lol).

I've only had her tm2 form abit incomplete. Wasn't as much fun as I expected really. Dinobot tm2 on the other hand...

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Fri Sep 07, 2018 12:27 am

Aw, TM2 Blackarachnia was underwhelming? That's too bad, Zero -- she certainly looks close to her CG-self in one of those last BW episodes.

I love TM2 Dinobot! He's the only version I have, and looks great...but I do have a harder time than I like trying to pose him.

I also had the much under-appreciated optimus minor, he was fantastic. His split arm gimmick made it look like he was punching really fast :lol:

I'd love to see a pic of that! ;)^

And speaking of punches, Killa P betta watch out!

Now that is what I call

A Dragon Punch

I think I need to go through and get all the Tm2...

Exactly, Zero! :-P

And yessss, ALL THE TM2s!!! :ic$:

GAME-ON!

: They call him "HI-SCORE" Scuba

I still enjoy going to arcades.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Tue Sep 11, 2018 3:26 pm

I would love going to arcades if I could find any, they seem to be dying out. Ah. Memories of summer holidays seeking out every machine I could find. I remember the joy of finding a Marvel Super Heroes machine before the Saturn version debuted.

News Credits: 3 · by **bodrock** » Tue Sep 11, 2018 5:51 pm

They are totally dying out, or being transformed into places like Big Al's (bowling+beer+arcade). We have some "Wunderlands" still in existence (admission+nickels), as well as retro-actual-arcades (that also have beer!). But they definitely do not have them in the malls anymore....and I think the only reason it works in OR is because hipsters love PDX.

You know whassup, Shaj!

I haven't been gaming at home much, lately. That may change with Valkyria Chronicles 4 coming out later this month.

Not to mention Punch/Counterpunch next week!

I'm still working my way through darksiders before 3 hits. Almost finished the first one but still got 2 to tackle and my spare time is very tight now. I need to be writing more
