Oh man, that Predaking!

I sort of regret passing on that one when he came out, he was so massive! But I sort of remedied the situation earlier this week!

Awesome, thank you for your time in the Corps.

Just got this guy from overseas. While it is not actually Optimus Prime (Sureshot), still great to have the G2 European version of it. In addition, adding to my G1 European line up, I have G1 European Stalker on the way from the UK. Looking forward to seeing him in hand.

Quite the collection you have there, very extensive! Although, it always bugs me to see Cybertron Optimus' wings upside-down like that

In Star Convoy's case, the reissue is the superior version. The original had plain white where the reissue has metallic silver, and a plain yellow chest star where the reissue's is golden chrome. Additionally, the Micromaster version of Hot Rod included with the reissue is painted.

Oooooooo nice! the Stalker mold is pretty fun, and I really want to get that Sureshot/Prime mold eventually!

Realizing I cannot do much right now in regards to setting up my collection, I decided to hang one particular item up on the wall. When I was still in Virginia, my unit gave me a farewell luncheon. Some of them knew of my love of transformers so one of the civilians I worked with hand made the clock, while another section had the shadow box made for me. Today I decided to hang up the clock. The clock itself is a representation of my branch symbol, with the added transformers faces and symbols. Pretty neat what they had made for me. Anyways, hope everyone is staying safe and doing well.

Later,

From this line, these are my favorite. Looking forward to getting Hotlink, although I am thinking of snagging three of Scrapface. His camera mode looked pretty cool in that color palette.

Nice! Hotlink is the one bot that I really want from the Netflix crew

Totally agree D!

A tad late posting this but finally was able to find Netflix Hotlink. Just need to get Skywarp and Redwing to complete that mold line up. I know some people have already done a group shot, hopefully one day I can do the same.

Secondly, something i had been wanting to acquire, found him for a good price on EBay, SDCC POTP Throne of Primes Optimal Prime. The only prime master missing is Onyx Prime. We’ll see about that one. I never purchased Predaking so who knows.

I loved filling in the wheel with the Prime Masters. That's where all of mine still reside, with the 13th and the 3 clear ones in the staff.

The armors and Predaking's matrix are all just a bit empty

While I wait on the new floors to be installed in my house and to make a trip to KC for some shelves, Ive started searching for the missing Generation 2 line that I started years back. It is a unique line but something has spark the flame to continue looking for the ones that I want. In the one photo, you can see a wide variation that I have purchased over the past two months. I will say, I am finding out which ones will be the hardest to find (in good shape and a decent price). The G2 Superion was one I had held off from getting but glad I have decided to. Unfortunately, the only combiner from G2 that I have that is complete is the Yellow variant fo Devastator. I’m still missing two from the Orange variant. For the Combaticons, I just need to find a complete Onslaught. He is definitely one that is hard to find.
I know some may not collect the G2 Go-bot line, but I said what the heck. There is nothing like a transformable hotwheel with a gun. It would seem OP is the big ticket item out of those, of course if you are fortunate to own any of the prototypes.
The second photo is what I could find of my Hallmark G1 ornaments, since I bought Jazz yesterday. My OP and Bumblebee are stashed somewhere else.
Hope everyone is staying safe,
Thank you for looking,

UPDATE!

I was able to find G2 Skydive (still sealed) at a local flea market store. It was actually the first time I saw that many G1 and G2 transformers for sale in a store like that. Should say at least were i live. Three down and two to go in completing my G2 Superion.

Hooah!

So messing with my new ER Scorponok, attached are a couple of photos with him and my other Titans and other series bots and cons.

The one photo of MP, FM and Scor, not sure why but on another forum, they thought MP was in base mode. Maybe just joking around but clearly he is just sitting on his butt posing.

Unfortunately, i do not own Omega Supreme or Predaking for a nice group comparison. I didn’t bother digging out my Brave Max since you get the idea of size comparison between him and G1 Fort Max.

I would have liked to done another photo between the G1 and ER Scorponok but my G1 version is tucked away deep in a box. Maybe later I will do that shot.

Enjoy and thank you for looking,

Very solid looking! some great bots in those shots

My latest addition to my G2 collection. Been curious about Dreadwing and Smokescreen for the longest and finally came across one on EBay for a great price. Definitely interesting for sure but I like him and love the alt mode. I am very happy that I bought this set.

Very nice! I am expecting a different version of the pair once shipping is open between the US and Australia again

Which version is that? It is a shame, they apparently had a version that was Megatron and Starscream but never released.

So here is my SS Devastator posing with Rampage and Megatron. I do realize I don’t have the one yellow clip on the lower left leg but it was stashed somewhere. Oh well. Anyways, not bad!
