Played with Computron while binge watching the new Voltron.

I still cannot get over how good this set is. I only have two things I wish were different: ball jointed ankle tilts and new head sculpts for all the bots. Comps will soon be joining the upper d ck with the other combiners, so both points are mostly moot.

I totally agree on new heads. Scattershot, Strafe, Afterburner, and Scrounge are great; if only the other 3 got good new heads too, it would have been perfect pretty much (I love the set too)

It's funny. When I look at Comp's head. I don't see a red Superion. I see Comp's head.

Ditto, only with a cool mouth plate. I'm considering trimming his antennas down to the first place it's notched to give him a more Compy feel, but that's not something you can reverse. Maybe a little photo shop magic dry run is in call for.

But then Scattershoot won't have nipples! :shock:

I don't know, what do you fine folks think?

Getting those watermarks out was a real pain 8-)

I also nabbed a few new Alt Modes for the giggle :lol:

Nemesis may become my new mascot for a while, just so cool and derpy looking :-D

I think the photoshop cut off antennae are a bit too short. Maybe try only half of that upper section from where you photo-cut?

These things are getting addicting, holy smokes

I agree with Sir D-Max, only cut halfway.

Also, I really want an Alt-Mode now. But who to search for... :-?

I think I'm going to just leave Comps antenners the way they are.

If no one has noticed my spamming on other boards, the OG series one are on clearance at Gamestop.

As far as AMs go, I pretty much have pick of the litter here (it's the only damn TFs I have a good selection of right now :-x

). We have on shelves the OG series 1, the new box series 1 and 2 just keeping them shelves nice and toasty.

Nice choice. The antennae look good as is.

I've actually been keeping the one thread fresh so when I have a break in p-chem, I can news it.

And those alt modes are everywhere. I might have to pick up another one to go with Swiper

So I've been messing around with TR Mindwipe lately and doing a little head swapping. There's just something about his default sad face head I don't like. So I tried a couple other purple heads on for size.

Sad face

nah...

If the colors matched, but nah...

YES!

While playing around with this lot I found a partformery way to make Apeface look a little better, but you lose TM integration.

Off all the TM Deluxes with shields, I think I like Mindwipe's the best.

ALL HAIL THE BAT KING!

I've always seen the TM dino as a mech/exosuit and the TM exits it with a cool headstand flip out.

You rang? And that's SPACEPEACOCK to you sir!

So here is something weird that happened while I was taking pics of Mindwipe. Anyone familiar with Google Goggles? (if not then in a nut shell, it scans pics and tries to recognize things, logos, words, places, UPCs, etc). Well it recognized the following pic to have a barcode UPC in it.

Hmmm.. werid, it saw a random UPC in some lines in my laptop. What if anything could that barcode be.
