The toy Jetfire was redecoed from was a Macross.

Nice shots Sigma! The light piping does create a nice effect with the mask on, like his real eyes are underneath the visor. I've seen the Hasbro version drop on BBTS before, I wouldn't mind getting it someday eventually.

SO!

...anyone here have a Wii U?

Me! I basically bought the WiiU for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

Nah but I have a 3DS if you want my FC

Well, for those who do have a Wii U...try Xenoblade Chronicles X.

I bought Xenoblade & Tokyo Mirage Sessions when I picked up the WiiU, Sigma! Unfortunately, free time is a real luxury I only get late in the evenings....and a photo-shoot with TFs takes time!

Where is moar robits?

Sorry, I've been busy.

Give me a day or two, I have this week off school.

As cool and relatively reasonably priced as Hasbro's Overlord may be....there's no way it could ever compare to Carnifex, M I RITE.

Alright, time for pics! Sorry for the wait, guys. Oh, and some of these pics may not have the best lighting, but I did my best with my lights. I didn't want to wait for daylight tomorrow, I didn't want to keep Va'al-senpai waiting any longer.

Anyway, first off, the smallest: TM Apeface!



I dunno why, but this and the Crashbash mold are tied for my favorite TM molds. They're both just really fun little dudes. My least favorite is the Skytread mold, mostly because of the issues with the TM itself. It's not bad, it just annoys me.



Next up, Galvatron! While it has its faults, I've had a lot of fun with this guy. Hopefully one day I can make it perfect with some upgrades, but I'll be fine in the meantime.



Oh, and messed with some of the effects one my camera, thought this looked neat.

Now, for the main event!



I enjoy Mindwipe's bat mode, despite how much of a brick it is. However, it's my least favorite of my TR beast modes.



"That's a big bat..."



Now then, bot mode! Not the best, not the worst. I love the claw weapon, but I wish it could mount somewhere that looked better.



...what sound does an alligator make?
Anyway, love this mode, and I think it's actually better than his bot mode. The head is really expressive.



"D'aw, who's a good gater..."



Bot mode! Very cool design, I just wish they could've figured out a way to make his tail into a convincing sword. The shape of his legs look kinda weird at certain angles, but overall, it looks great.



Now for the big borf-borf. I adore this wolf mode, and it's easily better than the robot form. It can be a bit fiddly to pose, though.



"Who's a good boy? Whosagoodboy?"



Bot mode doesn't quite live up to wolf mode, but it's still pretty nice. Main thing that bugs me is that it can be difficult to get his ankle tilts working properly, but it can be managed.



And lastly, a group shot! Overall, I like these guys, they make a good team, and they're pretty good toys on their own. Mindwipe is the weakest of the three, but he's still not all that bad.

Mindwipe and Wolfwire look like so much fun!

I don't know.

This was the first thing that came to mind.

How far have you gotten? Do you at least have a Skell yet?

I wish, Sigma - I only got an hour in, since I'm juggling Dark Souls 3 and Tolyo Mirage Sessions at the moment....

Ah. Well, if you need help (which I think you will) just ask, okay? Oh, and can I see your team so far?

I will most likely scrap my save and start fresh, Sigma - so if you have starting tips please tell me!

Well, hop on over here!

I got him at a CVS many moons ago (and his energon chip was lost at that very same CVS a moon or two after ), and he has endured a lot, as evidenced by the loose joints (especially the ankles), chipped paint, rust, and hard-water residue. But he has survived intact, and has a spot on my shelf to this day.

Its neat seeing figures from before I got into Transformers. Shows me what I was missing all those years.

Sigma Magnus wrote:Also, Roddy makes a fun desk buddy for binge watching. Has anyone done a black, purple, and blue custom of him yet?

A throwback Thursday photo?! Daaaaaaaang!! He's actually a pretty cool looking figure!

Also, I'm glad you like the Headmaster Decepticon team. I too like Galvatron, my only complaint is the mask not showing his face as well as it could. I mean if they were going mask, why not have it wrap around a little more on the sides for stability and thin out the front so it sit more flush.

He does look cool! I'd play with him more, but the ankles make him nigh-impossible to stand...I've been thinking of getting another one of him, brand new. Maybe the rest of the team, too...

I feel like the reason why people hate TR Galvatron is because he's so close to being perfect. For me, the mask isn't the issue...it's his face. It just...I dunno. Doesn't look right. I also wish it didn't restrict the side-to-side movement as much, too...and that the cannon could attach to the side, like it should...

Also! Can any of you figure out what I was watching in that pic of Hot Rod?

I have the Revenge of the Fallen set of the Energon Airielbots and they're pretty neat for sure. And finally someone else that doesn't like the headsculpt on Galvatron. It just looks a little...derpy, for lack of a better word. And yes the cannon should be on the side of the arm.
