It is a cool pic. In Kentucky derby related news. We had/made mint juleps for the first time yesterday. Nice and refreshing.

I don't know what those are but they sound nice. Over on my side of the pond we are currently having a heatwave, mixed in with a chance of toxic smog. ..hooray for the great British weather!

Whisky, mint, sugar, ice are the basic ingredients with multiple variations. Not something I'd want more than once a year.

Sucks about your death weather. We enjoying spring until our heat wave hits.

In the grand old Kentucky Derby tradition of dressing in garish colors and ridiculous hats, I opened and enjoyed my new garish and ridiculous G2 Menasor. He is fantastic. The colors although gaudy as all hell are really fun. The deco on MM is the dope. Brake-Neck's head sculpt is a home run. I some how find both Dead End molds much more tolerable. But night ops Drag Strip steals the show!

ZWolf, a heatwave? In the UK? So it's like 55 degrees Fahrenheit? :-P

(Does UK use Fahrenheit or Celsius? I assume Fahrenheit, because we use what the Brits use, when it comes to weights and measures. )

A warning to those who linger in Wierdtown.
You may be the target of a nasty beat down.

ALL OF THE COLORS!!! :HALUC:

And kudos on the julep Cary! I think I've had one...

Ah Mr. Jones, we meet again.

I wouldn't mind trading my Menabore up for the cross color loving Fresh Prince of Decpticon City.

I don't need both though. I completly skipped G2 because I was to teenage cool to even notice, but dat G2 Menasor looks 90's dope! Them colors are crazy and lately I've been feeling like adding crazy oddball stuff to my collection.

I think this is the stage in between denial and acceptance.

Cobrotron has done Mena(eye)sore a favor and fanmoded (is that even a word?) the legs to make him look better.

Ooooh yes, I see the legxtension now.

I rig all my MM/OP torsos this way. It is more pleasing to my eye.

Definitely. I've got arranged in a similar way on OpMax and Mena(not an eyesore)sor with the PE kits, and they look great:

Ah ha, yes. Shajakisan uses this same method you have. Very good indeed. I like that it gets the feet out of the way. The only reason I prefer the way I'm doing it is it shows more of the sculpted detailing in the thighs.
Both are good ways of getting more out of the toys. ;)^

Yup yup, I use several different leg configurations for the MM/OP and Hot Slaught mold to not only make them taller but to have a little variation.

I've even popped the legs off Hot Spot at the thigh swivels to reverse which side is out. The crazy thing is that it stills transforms just fine.

I ended up not liking it and put them back.

When will she arrive?

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Sun May 08, 2016 4:27 pm

I use the same configuration as N and where the wheels face out. I'm with Cobo that I don't like how you lose the detailing with the back of the legs but that way works about the best.

I've also used the same as Cobo where you use the built in peg to hold the weight on top of the flap instead of pegged in.

I need to go ahead and ship my stack from TFS, which has some for those PE sets. I'm excited to play with those.
