That would be so cool, Cary. Loudpedal the Vehicon....! I transformed him into flying car last night, but I definitely got plans for him....

That bumper plug telegraphs LP's plans loud and clear. :lol:

The rifle on the bottom, is that official? I'm curious if Tracks has that option :-?

Yeah, the rifle on the bottom is official for LP! There’s a peg-hole for it and the rifle handle flips down to be inserted. I would expect Tracks and Road Rage have it as well!

Scored a Commander class Energon Tidal Wave today for $15! He looked so cool I couldn’t resist.

Oh that is beautiful! I used to have him and he's great fun, loved the transparent plastic parts and looks pretty spiffy combined with Armada Galvaltron

Tidal Wave is a wonderful figure, despite the limited articulation. I have the original Armada one, and he is quite good. I love the clear green on your Energon one though Bod!

I had no idea there were different versions released for Tidal Wave, but no surprise. I am definitely liking his colors and “Energon scarring”(?)!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday!

I wanted to jokingly point out that Psylocke isn't a TF, but then I remembered all my Mega Man pics. 8-}

Awesome shots, you're SS background really gives a great sense of movement. Which line is that from? I'm completely Marvel ignorant.

Thanks Cary & Zero!

I am Marvel ignorant as well, but saw this wonderful figure floating around as I casually searched for “the best version” of Psylocke. This is the Kaiyodo Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech No.010 Psylocke — I have crossover plans, but wanted to take pics with just her the other night.

From what I've read, you can't go wrong with Revoltech.

If you're not familiar, do yourself an injustice and look up Woody creepy and/or hentai or any other naughty sounding searches (revoltech is probably not a required search term). I suggest an incognito tab and not at work.

Sometimes I also just get a random urge and buy something just because it looks cool. Gundams anyone?

Gundams are awesome and I'll always approve their purchase

I agree, I know even less about them than Marvel, but I enjoy the build.

See I'm the opposite, Gundam is one of the things I'm knowledgeable on :lol:

I went for the sweet cartoons with mech on mech action and stayed for the model kits!

I've never consumed much anime, hell I wouldn't even say I know much about Transformers. If life has taught me anything, it's that you can not "catch 'em all!"

On the other hand I would like to say that I'm the "Sabrblade" of video games, but who am I kidding, I don't know that much about anything :BANG_HEAD:

TL;DR: enjoy what you enjoy and don't sweat the rest ;)^

Hahaha, YES! Even though we all love Transformers, I am absolutely clueless on most figures after 1988! I only recently got to know the Pretenders, Beast Wars Neo, Micromasters, and Action Masters — all thanks to stumbling across this site and getting into toy photography!

I probably knew Marvel better, but only up to 1995 or so. I’ve been gaming since the late 80s, and knew most up until 3 years ago......I still game, and am back into Transformers!

I was into building Gundams about 1996-1998, as well as got into anime (Ranma 1/2, Ninja Scroll, etc.)....I still watch the occasional series.....but surprisingly never watched Gundam!

My gaming knowledge is patchy these days, I try to keep up but certain practices by certain games publishers soured me.

ooooooo very nice Psylocke!

Collect what interests you and delights you dude!

Last time I got really excited about a game was Indivisible — too bad I was way too late to the party and missed out on supporting it and getting a sweet statue! But I am out of it these days, unless it’s related to Shin Megami Tensei.

Thanks D-Max! You know I will, but TFs will always be first n foremost.

I also love the shin megami tensei games, though it seems the Persona series has overshadowed the main games for a while now.

Poor Hulkbot I don't like where psylocke's psychic blade is aimed!
