OK, so for the diaclone noob, how many different forms can Big Powered form? and what is this I hear about a land battlecruiser for Big Powered?

Oficially? I think there are like 18, but then there even variation on those modes. Then there's anything you can come up with. It's super versatile and you can kind of let your imagination go cray cray. That review shajaki posted by Ben in the Diaclone thread gives a good sense of what it can do, but he doesn't even make it through all the official modes.

And yes, there is a cruiser mode. ;)^

Land and space!

I need money and a bigger room.... I really want to give Diaclone a try, and something that is a battlecruiser really stands out to me. And Big Powered is probably the best looking thing I have seen from the line

Right? I watched it... it was 20 minutes'ish? I was thinking that wasn't nearly enough time to go through all his stuff :lol:

I was watching it and about 4 minutes in I thought, how long is this bugger gonna be, an hour? Checked the time stamp and new right away he wasn't gonna do it all. Probably would have taken at least two hours even with editing.

I still haven't even made it through everything, but I sure have been enjoying base mode here on my desk.

Any sign of yours showing up yet, Jak? You're gonna need at least a week off. :lol:

Busy busy busy for the holiday season!

A few things that have come my way in the last week or so.

Extra special thanks to Willy to the J of the 88 for hooking me up with the deluxe wave 5ers. Crazy to think that I could call on his help and have them shipped from the icey north for the same price I'd pay at any big box store in my own backyard. Good looking out Bill! ;)^

And so with Misfire, Twin Twist, and Ram Horn, this concludes Titans Return for me.
The Collect-O-Tron is happy and full.

Upward and Onward to more powerful Primes!

Neat. I saw the full sized RIDferno at TRU the other day.

Sweet holiday haul, Cobo! My Prime Masters also arrived today! Yay

My RID collection got packed away to make shelf space for Lego SWBF, but man, if I see Warrior Twinferno, it might be hard not to jump. #suckerfordragonhands

Nice Bodsworth! Can't wait to see old school Pretenders with their new babies.

TOTALLY!

They've been teamed up since they arrived. Liege Maximo is riding shotgun in Misfires blaster right now!

Haha, I totally thought of you when I saw him. Probably should have picked him up for you. The paint job seems a little sketchy though. The bright orange plastic sorta shows though the paint in that KO kinda way.

I do dig the Dark Crystal buzzard puppet hands of the TRferno ;)^

So, it's been quiet in here. Just how it needs to be while some serious reconfiguration-transformation goes down. As it is with collections, when they're serious they can have a habit of out growing their environment. As it is here in 'Tron. I decided it was time for a change up. My desk was absolutely out of control. I had no room to think or create!
So I chose to pack away Micronopolis, the shelf that was home to my smallest TFs. Legends, Legions, PCC, Cyberverse, and a few appropriately scaled G1 toys like Trypticon and the combiners I have, as well as some other fun small odds and ends. And all of TR and some of CW moved into their space.
To get those G1 toys off that shelf, I also decided to separate my Microman/Micronaut collection out from the G1 TFs and give them their own zone.
Microzone!

Here is about 75% of my G1 stuff on stand by.

And here is the G1 shelf in it's completed form.

I took this opertunity to add some nice color changeing LED pucks I I salvaged from the Axiom Chronicles display I built for the cartoon convention. Thanks to the new bossman for those! ;)^

And Microzone!

I love this collection. It is the best!

I thought it would be fun for anyone who might be interested, to get a closer look at one of
my favsies Microman toys. Since I had it out and moved it.

From the Microman Magna Power series circa '99/2000, the Microstation. That line did a cool job of cuntinuing the mythos of Microman with the microchange environment.

From "Playstation" to BATTLESTATION!

There are a few elements of the base I don't use in the display, like a sweet U shaped track that some fun wind-up Microman toys can ride in/on.
It also has a space cruiser mode, but it's really not that different than B-station.

Finally, Titans Return have moved from my desk to their own luxury condo.

The only TR fig that didn't land over there was Alpha Trion, who gets a permanent seat at Galactic Headquarters, i.e. my desk.

Big dirty Cons.

Autobots UNITE!

Dual of the Fates!

I'll probably go back and take more comprehensive shots of each shelf in a humanitarian effort to rebuild the Seibertron presence of the Collect-O-Tron, after the devastation of the Great PhuckYouBucket.com Debacle of 2017. :-x

Also while the reset was going on, the fires of acquisition were still burning hot.

Loving these two figs! Most you guys probably read my thoughts on these guys in the PotP thread, so will just close out the update with some photos.

Since Laser Prime gets front seat on the TR shelf, and my 3 year old lost regular retail Prime's head, I thought his weapons worked great for Grim. Especially the double barreled blaster!

Dino Squad to date.

I'd like to take a moment to once again thank Primus for the Platinum re-release of G1 Prediking and his armory of awesome golden bladed swords!

Look great. I'm loving the light pucks. ;)^

So should we start up the "where's Waldo" game again?

I'll start: where's G1 Huffer? On the collection shelf, not staging

Also, I'm totally giving Grimlock Prime's gun, great idea :BOWDOWN:
