I just picked up Universe Blades after missing him at retail years ago. I also got a RTS Rodimus from the two pack. I use him as Hot Rod and Classicis Rodimus with the Protector armor as Rodimus Prime.

More photos here.

I got my hands on Springer this week and I must say I was pretty disappointed with him! Getting him into car mode was an absolute nightmare, none of the tabs fit and the thing seemed to fall apart if I so much as looked at it. I have managed to improve it with a cunning use of clear nail polish but he's still not perfect. Don't get me wrong he is a great figure and his bot and Copter mode are great, I just wish everything tabbed in better in car mode.

Right finally got my Springer to hold together in Car mode, he was a royal pain in the arse straight out of the box, but with a bit of nail varnish/exacto knife work and fannying about I can get him to hold together without any gaps, much happier with him now, the bot mode is superb! really posable and looks great in any pose.

Received legends Skrapnel in the post this week, now that's a sweet figure for a Legends Class figure, looking forward to Bombshell coming out later this year.

Although not technically Classics figures Armada Unicron and Foc Grimlock arrived in the post this morning, very pleased with both of these.

Picked up three new Generations Deluxes from a well sourced China based seller!

Chromia, Crosscut and Tankor!

I was keen to pick up Chromia, was curious about Crosscut and took a gamble with Tankor.
C & C are fine and dandy but Im still a little unsure of Tankor.
Hes not as bad looking as I had thought he would be in-hand. :-?

Generations Deluxe Nightbeat! :grin:

I also got Crosscut and Tankor I assume from the same "China based seller" crosscut is very nice, but yeah Tankor is a bit meh.

Finally manged to get a hold of Classics Mirage for a decent price after stupidly passing on him several times way back, damn he is a fine figure, ball jointed head, double jointed elbows, waist swivel AND ankle tilts by Hasbro, in 2006 :shock:

whoever designed this guy was way ahead of the game.

Thanks to the aforementioned China based seller, I now need to change my Sig wants list as I snapped up an Alternity Starscream! Lovely bubbly!

I recently got generations Sandstorm and man is this mold good. I passed on both uses of the mold when they were in stores, but since I was taking advantage of the sale on HTS to pick up AoE Drift (who is super super good, pictures didn't do justice), I figured I'd snap up a certain specific Vtol dunebuggy while I was at it. If I had to nitpick at something, his gun is a bit bland, but it looks appropriate on him and even works pretty well in the altmodes.

Via a UK based Ebayer, Ive just gained a MISB Transformers Axor!

From which line I hear you cry (...)?
Thats just it, the box doesnt seem to mention it? Is this a weird import of sorts?
:-?

That would be 2010 Axor. Despite popular belief, "Hunt for the Decepticons" is not the name of the line: it was simply "Transformers" with "Reveal the Shield" as the subline imprint. We simply call it "2010 line" for easy reference, the same way we have the generic "2014 line" for the Protectobots and Legends.

"Hunt for the Decepticons" was the name of the campaign associated with the first half, or "movie half" of the line, and such it just appears as a sticker on the bubble, not on the card itself.

As the disposable income starts to dry up and new purchases become few and far between, I have now found the time to crack open some more of those MISB Transformers that have been sitting there for some time now.

Remember those Battle in Space sets that came out, oooh, ages ago? They where issued under the Reveal the Shield sub-line and came with a Classics Hot Rod, Cyclonus with Targetmaster Nightstick, a metal Matrix of Leadership and a IDW comic book.

I had picked up two sets so finally cracked a set open last night. I intend on using the two lots of Cyclonus' (Cycloni?) as Universe Cyclonus' armada (minus their Targetmasters) and one of the Hot Rods as my.. erm, Hot Rod! :lol:

I already own a Robots in Disguise deluxe Hot Rod with the Fansproject Protector armour as my Rodimus Prime but wanted to represent Hot Rod too.

That just leaves me with a spare, mint 'anime' deco Hot Rod/Rodimus... :-?

Any one interested? It would make a lovely Christmas pressie! :grin:

Just snagged the two Asia Kids Day Protectobots sets directly from Amazon. They were around $13.50 each.

http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Protectobots-Emergency-Response-3-Pack/dp/B00ILA28H4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418932653&sr=8-1&keywords=transformers+kids+day

These have been fluctuating in price for a few days now, but this is the lowest price I've seen them go for.

They also have a few of the current Generations deluxes on sale as well.

on the wings.

Well I never knew that!
I didnt even spot it to be honest, but a quick search found the report within Seibertron..
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/generations-dirge-variant-ongoing-change/20431/
Regarding paint apps, I prefere this version rather than the one with the blue and white stripes on the wings.
