Yup. What Cyclone said. Look close at "Motormaster's" left elbow; you can see the tie there.

Oops; didn't spot that. I'm assuming he's just balanced on the legs, though..?

For those who wanted it: Prime as something OTHER than a semi-truck.
Behold Constructimus Prime!!! (Yah the name sux, I just came up with it)

All I can find here is Mudflap. It's a real pain in the ass. My girlfriends in your country at the moment. I've asked her to pick me up a Galvy. I hope she can find one.

Think yourselves lucky; the few places I can find anything, it's all Energon shelfwarmers (mostly Unicron and Micro Constructicons).

That's actually the mini-Devastator bootleg. They did an awesome job at making him articulated. It looks very professional, and those thighs look good in weapon mode too!

Tue Jan 24, 2006 5:02 pm

I could tell it was a bootleg, although not a mini. I'm tempted to have a crack at something similar myself with the originals, though, since it doesn' involve having to cannibalise the figs themselves...
And I agree completely about the thighs/missile launcher. Long Haul looks like he'll be doing ome serious damage with that!

I bet a Cybertron Jetfires legs would be about the right size for the original Devs thighs. About the right color as well all ready. I'm gonna have to think about that. Would be great to have a more articulated Dev, and the extra thighs would make him a little taller, closer in height with the other G1 Combiners.

Except Menasor, he's a dam midget compared to the others.

Incidently, Livedoor (The Japanese ISP/webhost etc) has actually gone under due to a fraud scandal... If that board disappears, we know why.

How do you get a fraud scandal from a message board?

The company the board is hosted on went under due to something involving stock price fixing. Company president is dead by suicide, blah blah blah. So the board may go down if the whole thing went to hell, and I figured I'd warn the people here who watch it that it might happen. *shrug*
