I love MP-12, and I cannot wait for an excuse to pull him off the shelf in (hopefully) a few weeks for pictures, and again later in the year

Prepare for trouble... And make it double

I got Getaway today, and my Powermasters are finally complete! I wanted to share them here, since they are on my desk/table right now and I absolutely love them all.

Nice! But doesn't the limited articulation frustrate you after being accustomed to modern figures? I dug out Motormaster earlier this week and realised there's not much I can do with it. Wish they'd release a new CHUG version that transforms into the whole truck. Don't even mind if he doesn't scale

Honestly? It doesn't both me much. Do I want them to move more? Sure, but they have a lot of cool stuff that makes up for it.

The gimmick is one, I love the motor dudes, and I enjoy clicking them in place, doing a rev noise, and transforming the figures.

And with all 7 of them, the transformation is the best part of them. They all transform in interesting and new ways. Slapdash did the Siege Mirage 30 years before it was cool. They are fun to mess with and transform, with good looking robot modes and fun alts.

So long story short, the transforming aspect more than makes up for the lack of articulation. I love the team

Sorry! Desk is pretty much any hard surface for me right now. And I really wanted to share this somewhere!

So Cyber Megs is a fan of PUZZ 3D puzzles, Orient Express no less. If that is the older version from the 2000's I'd have him take Razorclaw off before handling the cardboard pieces for the inside of the passenger car.

I've always interpreted this thread to be, "what TF is on your mind" or, "what TF are you playing with right now". A way to talk about the toy that you are thinking about and playing with no matter the line. The "desk" doesn't have to be so literal. :lol:

Awesome.
By the way, usually the tail/whip would be held. Or just left out.

Actually, that's not the Orient Express. It's the Hogwarts Express, 2 feet long, and I gotta finish it this week, i started 2 weeks ago and haven't finished yet

Another newly completed G1 figure: Sideswipe!

Also one of the most badass figures ever made

This for a while now, just really like the pose and the figure is beautiful.

Usually it's a mix of things on my desk. However Springload is always on my desk because I just love the thought of a truck turning into a frog. Or toad. Did he ever show up in RID, or was he one of the guys that they made a toy for but never showed up?

Oh also there's a gargoyle, a mantis alien, chest burster, non-has/tak transformer I put stickers on, a mordle, and Thundra.

Yeagh Springload was in Rid cartoon and was okay in it too, searching for el dorado for some reason that I forget (and immediately start humming the mysterious cities of gold theme song).

I love this toy so much. He got a show accurate toy that kicked butt and was just incredible. He is so fun and so creative!

We really need more toys like Springload in our lives
