I wonder if I can share via google pics, I think the one time I tried that it was hit or miss on that animated gif of Swerve.

I may have to test.

The only annoying part is I have to do it from the PC. The "embed" link won't show up on the App. I sent them feedback in regards to it but I haven't noticed if it has been changed or not. Sort of annoying, if I absolutely HAVE to get a picture posted up I'll "attach" it, but then when I'm back at the PC I'll switch it out.

PB did the same thing to me years ago. I can't believe you're only reaching your limit with them now! 8-}

But yeah, I switched over to imgur and said goodbye to all those PB pics :lol:

You were right Jak. You were right about me.

Tell your sister, you were right.

Sureshot, I got Primal from amiami for $80.93. And, I think you should jump ship on photobucket sooner than later. Before you get too deep. Like 176 pages too deep! :BANG_HEAD:

Impressive! And not only the figure, but your review! Man, I originally didn't want this version, but you have really made me question it, hell, if I could afford him, it would be a no brainer! The passion you have for the figure really makes its qualities shine!

Me too.

One day I will rebuild this empire, and will be stronger than ever.
Keep hope in your hearts good people of the realm.

Rebuild what? The Tron fall apart after an earthquake? I was just wondering why we don't hang out here anymore :lol:

I was wondering where my notifications for this thread went!!

The earthquake of Photobucket. A 10.0 on the "oh shirt, what're we gonna do now?!" scale.

HEY! I got a thing!

Y'all know I don't delve too deep into movie stuff, but if a design looks good in toy form, I'll give it a try.

Before time. Before Transformers. I was all about knights. So the whole knight thing in the last two movies did hold some appeal. It worked on the AOE Dinobots especially in that Platinum ghost knight deco. Now they have a King!

This dasterdly death prince is dangerously dreadful, and I'm digging it!
The sculpt on his armor is wicked cool. I love the head/helmet sculpt, but mostly with the mask and tusks closed. His face is hideous, which works fine since he looks so evil. And that orcish meat cleaver of a swordaxe is AWESOME!

He does feel kinda flimsy in places, and that arm transformation was finicky as hell the first time around, but what I like about the transformation is it's right at that baseline of intricate but quick and fun.

The alt mode is just as evil as the bot. It's a pretty fun ship to zoom zoom and pew pew.
Love the flame effects, and I'm sure those will come in handy for plenty of other fun thanks to the 5mm peg on the end.

King? You sure he's not the black knight?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Fri Aug 04, 2017 7:58 am

Awwwwwwwwwww snap!! He's definitely cool in both modes, I'm glad you are enjoying him!!

I also enjoyed "This dastardly death prince is dangerously dreadful, and I'm digging it!" :lol:

Let me second this, I hope they keep running with the theme. They took the knight lite of AoE and cranked it all the way up with TLK. I mean what's cooler than knights and dragons? A robot knight that turns into a robot dragon. Can't wait to find Steelbane at retail. Back to Megs, I was sold on his design the moment I saw him. As cool as the leader looks I think I'm going hold out for a more compact package in the voyager. Fortunately they both have the sword cleaver +1. Megs is pimping a real Dark Souls kinda vibe.

So anyone double/triple/quadruple dipping in old Meggy?

I'll second this as well ;)^

Kurona wrote:King? You sure he's not the black knight?

I bought a second AoE Scorn for the express purpose of ripping off his tail/arm to make a custom black knight

It also feels good to prop my feet up in the Tron again 8-)

Either way, I'm much the same -- I don't like the movieverse toys, but the only ones I want that aren't called rotf lockdown and bludgeon happen to be the Knight Dinobots, because they're friggin' cool. I want to eventually have them and the Beast Hunter Predacons facing off in some bizarro display

Kurona wrote:King? You sure he's not the black knight?

Well, I was just imagineering the idea that maybe this Megatron is the evil King who necromanced these evil wraiths to do his bidding.

carytheone wrote:So anyone double/triple/quadruple dipping in old Meggy?

Maybe I'll pick up the Legion. The voyager does look good, I just kind of wanted the bigger one to go with my '07 Leader Prime, and the voyager doesn't have the mask and tusk gimmick, and I'd be stuck starring at those ugly buttery old dinosaur teeth. :-D

Oh damn son! I thought you got the Voyager!

I'm surprised to here you say he's finicky. The Voyager is pretty solid. Glad you're having fun though ;)^

LEADER CHIEF! ;)^

He was finicky the first time, and even more so since the instructions are illegible gobbledy gouk. :lol:

But once I got the swing, I can ride the boogie.

One thing though, the nose cone arm cannon mechanism is kinda badly executed. You can get it to work but one wrong look and that nosecone splits.

You have him, Jak? Has he shown up on the tundra?
What do you think?

I wonder if it's a widespread problem :-?

I haven't seen anything front paged, but just today a local guy shared a pic of a Leader OP! So Megs is around! But... I preordered the Takara one so I'ma have to wait unfortunately. But hey, one less thing I gotta hunt for

Glad to see the 'Tron alive again. ;)^

To be honest I'm one of those crazy people that prefer the look of the Voyager to the Leader but you can't go wrong either way really with that design. And you're right that meat-cleaver sword would look right at home in a LotR orc's grasp.
