None of the images are working for me.

For some reason none of it is working right now. Try exiting out and coming back a few times. It usually works then.

Wait a minute, that came out wrong. The images of the art and the cup are working, but nothing of any figures

Keep trying the exit out thing. I just did it a few times and the figures are now redisplayed

D-Max!! Awesome sketches!! I wish I had patience (and talent) to do that :lol:

I too am having the same problem as DS. Little Xs with "Image" next to it for the majority of things. I'm also blocking most content links via the firewall here at the office, so there's a chance that's the issue. I'll check the logs. :lol:

Oh and for those wondering, Crosscut donated his "nudge gun" to "Getaway" so he can now be a proper Lost Lighter

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 1:32 am

D, that Getaway is super cool. I love that toy. I don't recall that repaint. Which is funny because a large amoubt of my Cybetron collection are Movie Era repaints. (because I was too busy collecting Star Wars when Cybertron first hit.

) AND... my only version of that great toy is a repaint. I have Excilon, a very Hot Rod inspired repaint.

Where does Getaway show up in MTMTE? Now I'm super curious and want to see how he's drawn.

#20: he shows up when some stuff happens and is super cool and looks cool and I would love to have some MTMTE figures him included. I'm like 6+ issues behind so maybe he gets less cool or more cool. Who knows (those that have read them all :lol:

)

I enjoyed him when he showed up when some stuff was happening. I really need to get back to MTMTE, it's good.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 2:01 am

Excilon does look really awesome. This repaint is the 2008 movie version that was meant to be universe but ended up movie. and is so fun. It's big, heavy, durable, and I can transform him in 15 seconds easy! And he looks good and paint is spot on.

In IDW, he shows up at the end of issue 19. Now spoilers a bit: he gets a less cool down the road. You'll need to read to find out why, but he is not a good person by this point (issue 49).

I even found he could weild a nudge gun like in the comics (he uses Crosscuts) and I can position his shoulders to lock the back in place. Overall: very awesome.

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 2:03 am

That's cool that he got re-purposed like that, and it's super cool how far into obscurity the comic guys reach.

It is cool, and the mold works for this guy pretty well. It's not exact, but it looks and feels the part. and MTMTE has always been about mostly second stringers. Whirl, Swerve, Tailgate, Pipes, so many guys owe their newfound fandom to the comics. It is nice to see.

And Va'al: I can agree in the G2 color scheme. You would be amazed what transformers concepts and stuff are running around on twitter. It (plus all the comic book writers) are the main reasons why I have twitter

I somehow missed Lambull :oops:

I'm not a beastformer guy, that looks really cool. A nice black suit would look nice, but I'm a sucker for candy apple red.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 10:44 am

Whoever created that is a genius. Sideswipe is in my top 5 favs, and the fact that they kept the robot mode but made it a bull is so frikkin awesome. I almost made it my phone's wallpaper. Almost.

And for record, my top 3 list of favorites all time is:
1) Trailbreaker
2) Sideswipe
3) Brainstorm

There are other's really close there, but I don't want to try to actually rank them. Thunderhoof is up there though! Favorite con of all time!

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 10:51 am

Those are interesting favs. I'd have to think a bit about mine, but their probably boring A-listers.

Wanna share why those bots?

I think you pointed out how MTMTE really highlights the B or even C list bots. I find that really cool and frees up the writers to be more creative. Because of that, I've really grown to appreciate the lesser know characters recently.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 12:06 pm

Well, Trailbreaker is my favorite because he has a cool altmode that fits the area i'm from, He is black and red, unique and cool robot mode, generates forcefields, has magnawheels, and MTMTE gave him that personality of lost and feeling useless and cumbersome, which is unique and works well for him. Plus, idk, I just really like the guy.

Sideswipe is based on his movie incarnation (who remains one of my favorite movie bots period) but I came to love his G1 self too. I love red as it is my favorite color, and he was built for speed, a bit loud and cocky, a missile launcher on his shoulder, a jetpack, and in the movie, fast and deadly with cool ass swords.

The first time I saw Brainstorm was when I saw the rebirth on TV, and he invented the technology and he looked cool and he was a jet autobot! Plus his name is really cool (same for all these guys). Headmasters's are so cool and I love them. Plus his role in IDW is awesome and his character is truly a great piece of work.

Thunderhoof is just ridiculously cool, with Frank Stallone as a voice, antlers, a combine altmode and he is a gangster essentially. How could you not like that???

and MTMTE is so awesome cause of its ability to bring the C-team to the front and make them so lovable (just look at Swerve and Rung).

Hey D, I don't know if I never noticed or you just changed it, but I have always wondered where you are. Now I know!

Is school real close to home? Are you a senior this year? What's your major? I remember once some talk about marching band. Are you a music major?

You don't have to answer any of those questions, if it compromises you interweb anonymity.

Oh! Fun Fact. I have met Frank Stallone on many occasions. When my Dad moved out to Cali, he boarded his horses at the Griffith Park Equestrian Center. His stalls were next to Frank's, so dad and Frank were always real friendly. I even went on a few trail rides with him as a kid just out of happen stance. He is a really nice fella. :-$

My Dad also befriended William Shatner this way.

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 2:28 pm

Thanks for sharing Big D! It's always interesting to see which characters folks are drawn to and why.

All I have right now is Soundwave and his minions. It seems I've always been drawn to that concept it would explain my love of the new minicons. I also always play the character in games that can summon help or has pets.

Diablo 2 - Necromancer
Diablo 3 - Witch Doctor
Borderlands - Mordecai
And so on...

And if course Swerve's questing road dawg ass. I'll put this cake back in the oven and finish baking it. I'll be back once it's iced.

that fact that you know a Stallone so well is awesome! My Mom adores Sylvester Stallone, and then here comes Frank as a decepticon gangster with antlers! That is badass!

I don't even know why I ever really came to like Trailbreaker in the first place. It's one of those things that just happened ya know? Sideswipe from the movie and Brainstorm from rebirth/IDW are pretty obvious to me, but Breaker just came out of nowhere. Even so, love that guy to death.

When i get his CW version, I am making him an arm so his special hand is available to see and also to use as his forcefield hand. It will be so cool to have Galvatronus with a forcefield hand
