Went out grocery shopping today, not even a tag for the Seeker set or the micromasters. and for once, I'm fully up to date on all the figures in the stores.

But then got to Walmart, saw the sales, and got myself a new little friend.

Thank you for the warm welcome. As people were saying back in 2013,

You Deserve a Swerve!

Smashdown's effects make for excellent punching visuals!

HOLY. SHIRT.

Look how big he is!!!

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:00 pm

24 year old me, looking down at 12 year old me, telling me his patience and passion have paid off.

My first ever Transformer. In perfect form.

I'm so happy!

Also, look at that jet mode!!!!

While Megatron is getting a lot of love right now, I wanted to make sure my tuesday deskbot got some love as well. Blurr was a great RiD toy and a sign that if we had another wave or 2, Rescue bots could have come to the mainline RiD line

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Aug 05, 2019 6:37 pm

confirmed, Megatron can hold a bisected figure in hands:

Also, this jet mode is fantastic!!

Got me some Micromasters and my first ever Cyberverse figure! Cheetor ain't bad, he's a pretty fun dude! The micros are cool. And that Buzzsaw is the one I got 2 months ago with lots of pieces missing all complete, thanks to Seibs himself!

This guy is so good

And here is my first ever one too!

Don't ask why this team came together last night, but I brought a mixed bag of Avengers to work with me today. Just grabbed a bunch for a random day

Have some shenanigans with Misfire too

So I took Cheetor to work today, and I have to say i am enjoying him so far. The main bot is a little light, and the majority of the mass went to the Battleship, but overall, he is not bad. He's pretty posable, playable, and pretty fun. I don't mind picking him up at all, he's fun! I would recommend him, he's a nice little piece of Cyberverse that is actually good

Finally got to handle a complete OG Waspinator mold, in the form of Buzzsaw. And he is pretty dang nice! I like the mold, and the regular robot mode face is really nice and differentiates him from Waspy. I like the purple thrown in there too, makes for a catchy looking bot!

And the completion of this guy was all thanks to our own Siebertron, who took the battered husk that I had and transformed it with all of the missing parts!

Thanks to a friend, I have a little boi now

Also been playing around with Redwing more. Man, this mold is actually pretty fun, and the color scheme on Redwing is delicious

Got a pair of new Cybertron guys today, and both are wonderful! I have a monster hunter to go with ectotron, and the other toy of Longrack! This was a great $13 combined haul.

Also got this shirt, my childhood combined with my passion. It's great! It also makes it clear we need a duck billed dinobot

Thats an amazing price for crosswise.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Aug 20, 2019 8:17 pm

I am frikkin loving this mold. If I wasn't already sold on the Unicron Trilogy, this one would have sold me on it. Longrack is the frikkin best. The headsculpt, the colors, the everything! And he is pretty posable too, much more than i thought he would be. And I love the shoulders and the way they work.

This mold is fantastic. This is a figure that I really am glad I got, and I'm even happier cause I have both Longracks. Go get this guy if you don't have him already!

Flipping through back posts as I stopped getting notifications, two things stand out.

You are making me want to start hunting down Beast Wars stuff I got rid of years ago. Stop it. :BOOM:

Some of these cyberverse figures don’t actually look that bad.

Okay, three things.

I gave my animated Bulk to my kid, and I deeply miss it. It did not survive :-(

No.

Agreed. I plan to get 4 of them, of 4 different classes. Cheetor hasn't disappointed me!

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That is the sadness right there.

Oh, funny you should mention Beast Wars...

Rise of the Monster Hunter

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 8:06 pm

I really need to think of a clever way to mash together "Monster hunter" and "Ghostbuster"

Got me a large haul today, my TFsource and Amazon packages arrived

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 7:13 pm

Another haul today too. The new Cyberverse guys have proven to be pretty dang fun!

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 6:31 pm

Scored the 3-pack today by complete chance! Target said they were out, but i was right beside the store and decided to check anyway, maybe see a Cyberverse Ratchet or Scraplet. But nope, score!

You know what though? I really wish we had a seeker in the rainmaker clan that was as purple as these guys are other colors. Then, we could call them Purple R-a/ei-gn! (that one really needs said out loud)

Took Slamdance to work today. while he is pretty obscure, you have no idea how happy I am to have a Transformer with the name "Slamdance". Like, that name hits me so deep it is fantastic.

And I would argue that I like him more in this mold than Flywheels.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 5:33 pm

I have a special one for you guys today. I now have 5 seekers. and thanks to those 5 seekers, I have seekers in my college colors, my high school colors... and a blue one, for the sky I guess?

Also, if we go with Purple as the main color for Skywarp, then Redwing + Skywarp are me and my fiances favorite colors in seekers, and we both love it (she admitted it was cute)

Also took Punk-Swipe to work today. I think this is the best of the 3 Lambros, the red windshield is so hoooooooooooooooooot!
