Good one Ag!

You know? That movie's intro is on my top 5 best 1st 10 minutes of any movie list. The animated history sequence with the cool little wooden figures.

Somewhere just behind the opening of The Two Towers.

Guess I drop this here as well. Just playing with the idea of even more battle damage.

I was over at the Siege UM thread at TFW getting some inspiration for in trailer weapon storage. I was so close but I didn't think to flip the shoulder pauldrons upside down.

The silver rifle is just sitting in there and rattles a bit. It can also take the place of one of the black pistols, but I'm a sucker for symmetry. The pistols can also be reversed and the rocket launchers can be slide in, but I feel those are iconic to UM's vehicle mode look.

You do loose a pegged connection but it doesn't seem make a difference.

I'm generally not a fan of the black pistols. They look weird in hand and are pretty hollow on one side, but I do like them underslung on the trailer. Looks pretty badass.

I love this dude, a winner is me!

But who can deal with Magnus's weird mutant drone?

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Sat Mar 23, 2019 2:01 pm

Guess I'll give UM a little break and show Soundwave some love. This is easily the second best Soundwave figure I own. Really only the MP outshines it, but Siege SW does a few things better.

Fresh out of the box and mistransformed with his shoulder thingies showing.

Every good Soundwave should be able to push his own eject button.

Alt mode is a little wonk, but I dig it.

I love lamp... post!

Official

Odd it's not in the instructions, but it's 100% intended as there are clearly pegs just for the arms in this mode.

Other versions

My fav is a modified version of the official.

Look out Bee!

This guy is awesome and I think my favorite weapons is the odd pistol thing that is supposed to connect the other two weapons. The combined weapon is kinda dumb. But just as a pistol it evokes a certain Megatron kinda vibe.

Really nice photos!

I love having weapons shown in alternate mode, and those are close enough to the body to really look built in and awesome.

Glad you like Soundwave! I am passing on him, but I love the looks of the broken and shattered tape deck window

I've been on vacation, but I wanted to give props. THIS IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!

Thanks for sharing! ;)^

I was struggling with how to store the weapon as I like symmetry too.

I don't remember that picture of the Magnus drone, hilarious!

Also, I've seen almost all of the figures in person now at various retailers, and I've yet to buy any. I can't get past the "battle damage" paint!!

That's a shame, the figures are generally incredible, and I think the battle damage is awesome!

Got this horny fool Monday.

Three PredaKOng pieces down, two to go!

Best mode!

Waist swivel, even though there is a refrigerator on his back.

Stickered him up (not pictured) and he's a leg in waiting.

I also opened these guys today.

Easily the second best, but my fave Laserbeak so far.

WHOOSH!

Such a fun little guy that may never leave my desk. The Soundwave shrine will be lacking.

Also, how many phones do I really need anyway :-?

How many do you count in these pics?

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 4:45 pm

I'm counting maybe 3 phones?

Nice KO! The PredaKOng is coming along nicely!

Still waiting on my Wave 2 Micros. Laserbeak does look really good!

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 5:34 pm

Ding ding dong, 3 phones! Give this man a cigar and give me one too ;)^

Thanks D, PredaKOng is pretty cool and I'm very much enjoying the installment program I've chosen. Wish I'd done the same for one of the various KO 3P Devys.

Which Micros you waiting on?

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 5:37 pm

Hahaha I'll gladly take a cigar and share another with ya! Will have to get some for TFcon!

I like the idea of getting a member of a big combiner ever month or few months, it's a great plan!

I am still waiting to see the Wave 2 Battle and Micromasters. Stakeout is the one I really want of the bunch.

Didn't I say earlier today that I love a man shaped bot with an animal head? Well Rhinozaur there is no exception! :lol:

But I would also like to point out my interest in that little schematic of a desk on your notepad. Are we redesigning the Cary Hole?

Sounds so dirty, but no, just work stuff.

Megatron got some wonderful new toys today.

The sword is just plain gorgeous

The set also came with Reflector and some binoculars. I'm guessing the other thing is an alternate hilt for the sword. The alt hilt is square-ish and has a peg and fits his hand quit nicely, but the default round handle seems to work just fine. So who knows.

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Thu Apr 25, 2019 4:22 am

Methinks the other thing is a tool of some sort.

Nah, the pummel fits perfectly as does the tab for his hand. Also the pattern matches the other hilt exactly. And the sword has a few small screws in it.

I thought at first it was something to mount the sword on his back.

I'll open the sword today and confirm.

Bonus feature, Reflector's lens extends.
