Next up is my attempt to customize two characters, that being TLK Barricade and Optimus Prime.. They came out pretty good. I would like to still fill in those smoke stacks on OP. For Barricade I modified the top and was able to attach it to is arm as a shield.. I also applied stickers from ToyHax.

Recently i purchased BB Movie Concept Megatron.. I currently have him posed on my Multiverse Space Bridge diorama. A nice addition to the group of Cons i have on this scene.

Enjoy,

I know i am sort of bombarding this post, but one more for now.. This is to highlight my ROTB scene. Currently it is just sitting on the shelf in my diorama case. It is not finished. I started on this at the beginning of the year and as the weather change and depending on how i am feeling, it has stalled. What you see is what i have so far. I have a friend in KC who will paint the back drop for me..
What is left, the control panel part for the Transwarp Key. I need to tweak that part of the bridge and the platform that Scourge is on.. I also have to make at least five more of those ball things that dropped out of the sky. I have one made so far. That would leave making some other blast effects and explosion, hopefully. As the weather changes and i am not doing DI stuff to the house and outside, i can get back to completing this scene..
With this scene, it is a condensed visual look on things that happened in the movie. The bridge portion, obviously is not correct but with the room i had that why it looks like it does. I tried to still make it sort of how it looked but again, condensed.
See what you think.

This looks amazing!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Very cool stuff!

And I have not seen that allspark cube before

[Rodimus Prime]

Wow that's amazing! How many hours did it take?

And Amazon has the Decepticon multi-pack on sale for $100 right now. Very tempting.

@ Rodimus Prime, i am fortunate to be fully retired (military) which allows me to be home and do whatever. So on this particular scene, i think i worked like up to five hours a day for almost two weeks. So maybe between 45 and 50 hours, could be more though. I dont recall if i messed with it on the weekends but during the week i was just like going at it on this.. Honestly, i think that burned me out somewhat.. A couple of weeks later i got back into the groove and did some more work on it.. Like i said, with the weather change and doing outside DIY and inside stuff, it got put on the back burner.. Id say i have plenty of hours left on it, maybe not so as before.
Thank you though,

The first movie Jazz mold has not aged well, but this is such a beauty here. I love this toy, I have a lot of nostalgia for it

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Thanks to Transformerland, I at long last have grabbed a set I long ago as a kid did not get and regretted not getting!

[SGMLordMirage]

You make me feel even older when you say it like that. Hahaha.

Great addition though, glad you finally have it in your collection.

I was 12 when the set came out haha

[SGMLordMirage]

You had to go there. At the time the movie came out i had 18 yrs in the Army, I was 36.

Awesome find! I got this back in 07, it's a really fun set. The Bumblebee is very unique and Longarm is a little more screen accurate than the other versions!

[triKlops]

That Longarm was really well done. Passed on the set because I didn't need another Bee, even then.
But awesome score nonetheless!

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Saw this pack in a Collector’s store today and got a great deal on it! Such a cool set recreating one of my favorite fight scenes in the movies, and honestly probably the best decos we’ve had on a Rampage or Ravage figure. Can’t believe I actually have one of these now!

The bio is pretty funny with the context of the movie though:

Rampage: “You fool! I was merely the distraction, now prepare to -“

Bumblebee:

In all fairness though, Ravage is a lot bigger in this set than he was in the movie xD

[SGMLordMirage]

Congrats on snagging this. Certainly one set I don't have.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

That is an awesome set, congrats!

The Bee/Rampage/Ravage fight was certainly a highlight of the movie for me, great fight! And Rampage is one of my favorite movie cons too

I think this is the right spot for my petty question. Can anyone recommend a blaster suggestion for Evasion Mode Prime? My thanks to all who comment!

He doesn't come with Megatron's shotgun like the other version does? Or do you just not like that gun? Personally, I gave it to my Voyager DoTM Megatron. Fits in his hands perfectly, even with the gimpy fingers.

Yeah I just don't like it and I was looking for a cool substitute!

Recently found a couple movie Decepticons I've been after for a while now!

Starting with Incinerator, I love the alt mode! It's shockingly accurate to a V-22 without being licensed, the dish on the back is really the only giveaway. The mechanism for the rotors doesn't work on mine, I may look into repairing it at some point. The Automorph for the chest does work though, and it's pretty fun! The Osprey plays a huge role throughout the Bay movies, so it's really cool to have one on the shelf now!

Looking at Mindwipe, while his alt mode is farther off from the real vehicle than Incinerator's, the cyberglyphs as well as the general vampire vibe help sell it as a kind of mutated F-117. I didn't realize that the cockpit becomes the blades in robot mode, which is pretty cool!

[triKlops]

Both are great figs. I am glad i still have mine, in storage, but still glad to have them. Enjoy!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Incinerator is and remains a favorite of mine, and the Takara version is one of those "I really want it and will get it eventually" figures. I adore him
