This was probably the most fun pic I took:

And here is a fun story. Everyone was having a good time in Happy Meal town.

But then the big bad Decepticons came.

It was a slaughter :twisted:

They tried calling for help.

And help arrived.

I see a lot of us have paired our TFs with Mega Blok's Halo figures - they are just about the right size for a lot of dioramas. Now if only they made civilians...
Here I've set up a shelf in homage to one of my favorite movies, Starship Troopers:

(these looked a lot better on my phone screen)

Hey all love all the mash ups from this challenge you guys killed it! I am eagerly awaiting the next challenge so I can hopefully play (now that the bathroom is done)!

Congratulations everyone on making this a really fun and enjoyable challenge. This one stretched out to be four pages long and considering this thread is only 7 pages long; that's awesome! :APPLAUSE:

These were some really great submissions and it looks like everyone had fun. I know I sure did! We had some cool crossovers, unexpected cameos, hilarious one shots and some really amazing dioramas.

It's been a busy couple of weeks and I'm going to try and finish baking the next theme. Thank you all, this place would be real boring and quite without you :BOWDOWN:

Howdy fellow Seibertronians and welcome to this week's much belated Transformers photo challenge.

In this week's challenge we will be exploring the evolution of Transformers. Over the last thirty years or so, the Transformers brand has gone through quite a lot of changes. Those changes have been represented in the various TV series, movies, comic books and of course the many, many different toys. This is a brand and more importantly a toy-line that is continuously transformering (you knew it was coming) and re-inventing itself.

This is not just a G1 vs "X" challenge. You can use what inspired Transformers, RID2015, Combiner Wars or anything in-between. You can focus on series, transformation techniques, gimmicks or showcase a single character. Take your time, think about it; you've got two weeks, wow us! I'll throw out a couple keywords to try and help inspire: evolution, flux, begin again, renew, reformat.

This challenge will run from today 12/11/15 to 12/27/15, which is the Sunday after Christmas (just in case anyone gets some fun new toys they wanna share).

As usual, submission post please use TFPC #9 in the subject line. Non submitters, please feel free to join in on the conversation. Multiple submissions are always welcomed and encouraged!

And remember to keep your browsers pointed to Seibertron.com for the latest Transformer news, the largest Transformers galleries and the most Transformers fun you can have this side of a space bridge.

Evolution you say?

Now for an extra bit, evolution, KO style:

I do have an idea for this, but will need my Italian figures for it.
Until next week!

I don't have a very diverse collection and at first I felt I had written myself out of this challenge and then my good pal Itscramtastic gave me some great inspiration.

It's amazing how much the figures have changed in both styles and transformation in just a few years. I present a couple of highly logical characters in a very illogical situation.

And if that wasn't crazy enough, I decided to take it a step farther.

Yo Dawg!

And now I remember why this is only the second time BH Shockwave has been in tank mode. What he does with that none gun arm is, well... interesting. :shock:

william-james88 wrote:Question to Cary, which of those 3 shockwaves is your favourite?

FoC, cause I'm a sucker for that design aesthetic.

Actually they each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

BH Shockwave is huge and just awesome looking in bot mode. Just a big scary looking killing machine. He is probably also the farthest away from the original design and his alt mode is really weak and just plain bad.

Mini me Shocky is a really great figure and not just for a legends, he is just a great figure. It pays a great tribute to his G1 self, is a fun figure to play with (as you can see with my whacky-ness) and has a very clever transformation. His only weakness is his size. Other than scaling with combiners for some fun pew pew action (I need to drag Menasor off the shelf and give that a whirl) he is only going scale well with other legend class figures. I guess mini Rodders has a playmate now.

FoC Shockwave strikes a nice middle ground between G1 and modern design for me. As a gamer, I'm immediately drawn to a figure based on a game, but he is a solid and fun figure in his own right. I love the pre-earth WfC/FoC look, all pointy and stuff. Even though it's a little small, his bot mode just works for me. Nice and posable, but I usually just leave him in a menacing stoic pose; watching, plotting, waiting. His alt mode is supposed to be some sort of flying craft, but really he is just a flying laser cannon, which really isn't that far from where he was in G1. Only problem I have with the figure is that he is a little too small and spindly.

BH Shockwave will just stay camped out looking spooky cool on my Prime shelf. Once the newness has worn off CW Shockwave, he will probably just end up in gun mode being wielded by another bot. But I will keep reaching for FoC Shockwave to play with. Nice and simple transformation, hits all the right notes, fun to pose and just screams evil genius. If only he was a voyager class.

You speak of him being pointy in alt mode, did you know that they sculpted his head? In the game, his head is sticking out of the back of the alt mode so their molded the top of his robot head. So he has visible fake head syndrome :lol:

It's a pretty awesome detail though:

Hahaha, that is awesome. I didn't know if was because of the game, but I played with him a good bit during the last challenge and I did notice the fake head. It all makes sense now.
