There are few but granted none are "G1":

How dare you taint my thread with movie figures

Anyway, truck not robolips



Ummm... Somebody wanna talk about that 500lb gorilla? Dammit I already said TRUKK NOT MUNKY! Oh the clear panels, I see. Yeah, they're clear, they're here, get used to it. They don't really bother me that much. At a glance I barely notice, when I study it, dumb. This guy will be bot 99% of the time anyway and I like them clear in bot mode, but if repro made a kit, I'd be all over it.

Moving on.

This right here, sweet! Prime and Strafe go to the same detailer.



I already had Orion out so I figured why the hell not. I'll tell you what; transforming him always puts the fear in me. It takes so much force to dislodge his torso. Orion Pax is a dope fig if anyone was wondering. Why doesn't more people talk about that mold anyway?

OK final thoughts.

I love this set. It's been one that's interested me since it was announced. Even going into this with high expectations, I was blown away by not only the figures but the stellar decos. I'm glad I waited to get these molds.

This has been fun, we should do this more often. I'll be up for a while longer, but there isn't much more to say that hasn't already been said, so I'll leave you with a parting shot.

Good show! Glad you're happy.

Couldn't agree more. Now I'm gonna needle you into stepping way outside the box to get a Cybertron Optimus.

I just caught this. Google failed me because I have a hard time with the lines around those times. Can you drop a few pics or links so I know what your talking about?

I have been thinking about this guy as TFL has a few.


Thoughts or recommendations?

This guy. The biggest, toyie-est, Prime toy you'll ever lay your toy lovin' toy grippers on.

You've met his adversary.

Have fun with the new ones you got. There dope.

Nice comparison, thanks Cary

I checked that gallery and that guy looks fun, but like you said.

Another time.

There are a few bots from that line I wouldn't mind checking out, but I'm still exploring other rabbit holes... another time...

You've met his adversary.

Ah yes, and I remember it fondly.

I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, I enjoyed driving

Woooooooo!! Great photo blog Cary!!

I'm glad you like those figures, they were some of my most exciting purchases back around 2006. As Cobotron and WJ said, those decos are the Baller McBallerson!! And the box...!! I have all the wants to trade my old fools.

Great looking set, way to go Cary

Over at the lovely and sexy D-Max Den a little Lost Light collection challenge emerged. I didn't want to clog up D's thread with pics (as if that has ever stopped me before) so I figured I'd post my half ass collection of Lost Lighters here. It's still a major work in progress and I've got the bots spread all over the place. I'm too lazy to rearrange on take combiners down so I just snapped pics of where they are currently at.

Main display - WIP



The lost Lost Lighters















Eventually when I get my **** together (ha) and get happy with my display, all these figs will end up on the Lost Light display.

Feel free to share your LL Cool Figs below.

That Chromia tho

I gotta catch up on my reading, I think I am on MTMTE 54...

haha, nice!

Now don't you big guns be taking that as a challenge!

I forgot Hound was on the Lost light, and laster too. ummm, I might have to go take more pics, but maybe have them in the background, like they are in the comics. There must be a ton of toys I actually have of characters on the lost light, I just forget who else is on there.

I use that thing as a reference. There are so many crew members that have either been named or shown up in one panel or a few, but they're there, and they are usually b or c list characters, so I go hunting

Dumb question, but how do people leave the lost light and join up with the other TFs? I ask because the lost light is on some long voyager away from everything. So I would have never figured that Cosmos, who was in the Robits in Disguise Comic with Soundwave and the rest was actually on the Lost Light first. And Sunstreaker? Was he ever prominent in the lost light?

Well, Dark Cybertron brought the Lost Light back to Cybertron. At the time, everyone thought the ship had exploded and everyone died, and the crew couldn't talk to them because communications were knocked out. When the ship came back to Cybertron, there was a shuffle in crew, with some choosing to stay on Cybertron and others on cybertron who decided that they did want to leave and adventure. And yes, Cosmos and Sunstreaker were on board originally, having some small parts, like Cosmos got beat by Overlord and Sunstreaker starred in Spotlight: Hoist, but they were more background characters. Along the voyage they also picked up others on other planets, like First Aid, Skids, and Getaway.

Now that there is a mutiny, is the lost light crew just those 20 individuals we keep seeing on the covers?

Not really. The mutineers have the ship, so they are the crew. These guy still count as the crew, but a crew now in hunt of their ship to re-take it. But they are the ones the story will focus on as they hunt down their ship

Damn am I behind

Awesome shots and words on the Platty set. They're an amazing couple figures everyone should experience.

Damn a mutiny eh? I need to catch up.

I also used to TFWiki to remind me who was on the ship. I didn't remember Cosmos being there either.

Sunstreaker was usually just chilling at Swerve's with Bob. I need a Bob for SS.

Tanks Shak, that set is great and I agree that everyone should experience those molds.

Cram, I like to shove Benny in Brainstorm for a ride from time to time.

Yes, dat Chromia... Cool fig.

I want a Bob too. 3rd party, anyone?
