The ER Cliffjumper or the SS retool? They each have their merits, but me having the ER Bumblebee mold (with the hinge on the head very difficult to lock) pulls me towards the ER one for consistency.

Cyclonus I may get on sale, but Blitzwing... I just can't ignore the junk under the jet.

I wonder if Reprolabels could cover up a bit of that unpaintable light grey plastic, or Cliff's arms would just rub it off.

Regardless, I never thought we'd get a cartoon-accurate car mode Cliffjumper even this good.

I feel a bit disappointed in the new Cliffjumper because of the plastic layouts. It's really frustrating that the Buzzworthy Bumblebee recolor of the Earthrise mold was able to get the correct color layout, but the SS Bumblebee retool ended up with reversed leg/crotch colors and a shoulder assembly that results in an unsightly gray piece on the side of the alt mode. It's going to be a tough sell for me.

Cliffjumper looks like he's wearing a diaper.

Finished up a new Ironhide custom for my DOTM shelf! Despite being one of the line's earlier figures, Ironhide has held up really well over the years, the sculpted detail is excellent! I imagine our listing for next year is a redeco similar to the 5-pack version.

Was able to finally get ahold of Battle Damaged Megatron through the ROTF Decepticon multipack, and I'm glad I did because it was a super fun project! I'd love to see a couple more battle damaged Bayverse figures in the future (likely as exclusives), 07 Jazz and ROTF Optimus stand out as some good candidates!

SS Astrotrain, some weight was jettisoned.

That's brilliant Overcracker!!!

I neeeeeeed a Thomas the Tank Engine crossover using this mold. Purple parts go blue, grey parts go black, and bonus if they can make the head look somewhat like Sir Toppem Hat. Bot name can be Sir Toppem Prime or something.

[-Kanrabat-]

That Astrotrain is ugly all over, but I still want it by moral principle. I'll just wait for a sale.

A mere change in color and a face added to the firebox door won't be enough to turn a Japanese National Railways D51 Class 2-8-2 tender engine into a London, Brighton and South Coast Railway E2 Class 0-6-0T tank engine.

Also, "Sir Topham Hatt" (AKA "the Fat Controller").

But you could make it Hiro, since that locomotive is his actual basis

Indeed! Hiro would be perfect. Just needs a new tender to complete the look.

And perhaps some retooling to just get rid of the shuttle and make a better train and robot

Haha, thanks. First thing that came to mind was Thomas the Tank Engine.

I know, but it was the first thing that came to mind regardless. Not a train enthusiast so don't immediately think of different models of engines.

Well, as mentioned above, the mold would be perfect for Hiro.

Thinking about it, it's pretty damn hard for a triple changer to not be compromised in some way or another. It there ANY triple changer in any generations line that is considered to be truly "perfect" in ALL 3 modes without any unsightly kinks or defect?

How in the freaking hell I forgot about the T30 duo of Springer and Sandstrom?
For me, T-30 Sandstorm is pure genius and is yet to be beaten. I'm about to receive the Legacy leader and I wonder how it will compare in person.

Holding out for a Hiro.
He's gotta be strong.
And he's gotta be fast.
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
