Love it!

Loving it Donny. I feel like at first the Insecticons invade, but then are over taken and submit to the beauty of the flowers.

So here are my entries for the challenge. I had a similar concept; a three bot team on a excursion. I choose the the seekers lead by Starscream looking for a new base of operations. As a kid, it was all about bases. I decided to use an old manual 35mm prime lens. I also waited until the golden hour to take these pics.

At first we have the seekers doing just that, seeking a new home.

We have Skywarp researching some fossils of this strange new world, called "backyard".

As a gamer, it is jarring to see 100% legitimate lens flare.

Looks like they found a new base.

And they seem to have made themselves at home.

I have to wonder if TC is working on his next human drama. But where is Buster?

Don't just watch, jump on in.

I'm leaning heavily on wanting to create a thread for the weekly challenges. What's the thoughts on that? Or do we just wanna keep it local?

But..the outdoors is bad for toys!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLL

Now that that is out of the way, I may join in. Trying to think of the areas that the things that transform would look good in..

Keep it local for now!

Good stuffy Cary! Lovin't the whole exploration bit. The decesead tree (is that a tree?) husk growing around the fence shots are cool as is the real life lens flare shot, you were channeling your inner JJ Abrams, eh? The alien(cicada)creature husk completes it! Your 'cons should be careful you don't know what that adult form is capable of...LOL

Thanks guys! Photographically, not the most interesting, but a ton of fun was had.
Man! When your main charge is the care of 2 small children, it's near impossible to find day light hours for yourself.

What's the next move Couch? Was Annie Leibovits available to jury this round? :lol:

Maybe we could all pick our fav from the 3 entries (including our own).

This was fun. I have a few ideas for challenges, and would be happy to host a round.

Edit now that I'm home:

Insect mode offers the Insecticons an outlook and appreciation of the splendor of Earth's natural world not shared by other Decepticons. Even these lowly minions stop to occasionally, "smell the roses".

The Watcher In the Woods. Everything about this photo is AWESOME. Also Skywarp is my fav Seeker in any form.

The sun flare is totally obscuring the house in the background. Ok picture, but just love this bot.

It just dawned on me y'all, the fam and I are headed out of town for the weekend, so I will draw up the plans for the next round tonight and post it in the Collect-o-tron. You guys can get a head start if you like, but entries wont be due until the following Sunday.

Out at the State Capital Dragway tonight watching the bro in law do dangerous stuff.

He's the guy in the far lane.

Well I still had the seekers out and I wanted to snap a pic using the Ballin' Bot Booth™

I left the 35mm on the chamera.

I have a couple more pics I would like to take before starting on this weeks challenge. Got a busy work week coming up, so we'll see...

This weeks challenge can be found here.

Ah, I must have missed them deets.

Why ya gonna miss those figs? Selling?

News Credits: 15 · Sun Sep 20, 2015 4:46 pm

There's a good chance I'm selling most of everything, focusing on just a few of my favorites and replacing things when a better version appears (like MP Hot Rod V2...dang it Takara!!). I have so much, but I feel they need new owners to be shown the love they deserve. I may keep my G1/2/BW stuff, then part ways with Alternators, CHUG, Bayverse, Animated/Prime, and any MPs I don't want. Along with most DC/Marvel and Star Wars stuff too.
