Wow, Roddy and Convoy scale very well together in alt mode.

Their relationship has crossed continuity families, and considering how nicely their colors and patterns line up, I feel this was subconsciously intentional. I love this pair

Star convoy with his G1 self. I love them

I think Ratchet made a better use of the mold than Ironhide

All them Ratchet's, good thing too. I've got a couple tricky nuts to get off.

I forget, do you have a Gen Drift to go with Siege Ratchet? And I agree, he where's the mold better than Ironhide.

I also love that RID15 Ratchet, he's a cool chonky bot. And them pistols are the best. Siege stole them.

I do have Generations Drift yes, even has the sword Shajaki once sent me for him. He and siege Ratchet are now the Lost Light couple, while RiD Drift and Ratchet are now a lone duo, Prime shelf already has a good show Drift and BW Ratchet.

Siege Ratchet's wrench went to Nautica, she loves it

RiD had so many fun things, shame more people didn't enjoy it

They sure did and I enjoyed it for a little while until I didn't. Still some really cool designs came out of it.

I still have all my RiD toys front and center on the Prime universe shelves. That period has some truly inventive robot mode designs

Makes sense continuity wise, but man talk about bot designs/quality that can't be much farther apart.

Speaking of Prime, MPM7 Bee reminds me of the Prime figures in a few design ways and plastic quality. Mostly the forearms. I thought it was worth mentioning that some of the Prime figures are so good it takes a Masterpiece figure to evoke them 8-)

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:29 pm

You know, that is a great comparison I had not thought of. I agree with you there on MPM Bee!

The arms are the dead ringer.

Now onto this guy, from our friend counterpunch. He may not pose very well, but he is a great dual-continuity Guzzle

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 10:11 pm

Wow, you got the ultimate counter punching. That's a cool looking figure. I remember liking that character in the comics. Or was it Ironfist? :-?

Both he and Ironfist appear together, so it could be either or. I liked both, and Guzzle is the first of the 4 Rookies from Last Stand that I managed to get. His prices are a bit high

IIRC, there is a really cool 3P Ironfist that run crazy expensive.

Everytime Guzzle pops up on TFL I'm tempted, but that movie face keeps holding my back.

What are the rookies and what figures are available?

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 7:56 pm

The movie face isn't really movie at all. The only thing that makes this guy stand out as movie is the greeble, otherwise he is very accurate to his IDW self.

The rookies in include:

Guzzle. G1 toy and DotM toy are about all your options

Ironfist: G1 or Club FOC repaint of Roadbuster are about all your options there too

Pyro: G1 Toy and club repaint of Inferno is all he has

Rotorstorm: as far as I know, it is only his G1 toy

On a different note, I have a new favorite Marvel Legends figure. worthy Cap is truly awesome!

Wow, those are some bots that need a WFC update.

On a Wreckers note, I set Impactor next to Siege Springer and Impactor seemed a little on the small side. At least he stands over standard deluxe figures.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 8:51 pm

I think he looks really good with the T30 Springer. He could use some more height, but he's pretty dang good with the Wreckers

Wreck & Rule!

So need to create a Wreckers display again. The roster is so full of large bots now it's hard to find the space :lol:

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 9:26 pm

I love having my Wreckers display, even if Perceptor and Whirl are on the Lost Light shelf.

I'm looking forward to a larger place to display them with a little more space to spread them out

Took the Queen of the Femme Fatale with me to work today. She got some attention too. She is really cool

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Wed Dec 18, 2019 7:37 pm

Got 2 new guys from the marvel legends line in today.

Grey Hulk, in my head canon, is MCU Hulk who succeeded in healing his arm from the Infinity stones but turned grey as a result. It was the best way to get a good Hulk. I loved the MCU Hulk.

And then there is Invincible Iron Man. I saw this design on Pulse and loved it, so I got it. Damn it is fine. The tron-esque feel complete with lightsaber and sleek design is spectacular. I wish MCU Tony had used this one

EDIT: BTW, did you see the TFW galleries for her? They have some really choice ones of her and Megs ;)^

She is pretty damn steamy!

Got 3 packages today: 2 with cyberverse, and one that was a complete surprise from a friend. all 5 of these are pretty darn wonderful.

Felt these bots were the perfect ones to take to work today

Also, I am digging this new Bee

Had to run out and grab some more wrapping paper, and sure enough I found the Micros at Target! now it is literally down to the Battlemasters and Siege will be done

Also had some fun with my Invincible Iron Man, and my Avengers have assembled!

This is when you just buy multiples. Easy peasy.

Hey all, did you have a good Christmas/holiday season? I did, and hope you all did too.

Saidos wishes you all a Happy Holiday season

Got 2 different sets of Transformers figures.

First got these Christmas day (minus saidos). Didn't find either ever, so I'm very tickled by them

And then these arrived while I was away for the week and got them last night. Siege ends the way it started for me: $8 deluxes. And my girl Shuri

Also, got a lego War Machine Buster, it is pretty neat! It was a fun build too.

among other things, I also got some grilling tools and a 3D Puzzle Hogwarts Express. It was a nice Christmas.

It also included the best Christmas movie ever

And I got the 3rd Iron Crew Pop for the desk!

Also took Apeface to work today. He is a fantastic figure

Also transformed Leader Megs back to jet mode, and I still love this jet mode. I will display him in this mode once I have more room
