CW Dead End is a good call.

[Sabrblade]

CW Dead End is a good call.

He already has a gallery.

[just_aCloud]

Has anyone already requested the SS Constructicons? Someone please steer me in the right direction if I'm asking for something that's already out there?

[ZeroWolf]

Sadly there isn't a ss devy gallery but who knows what Seibertron has in store for us...

All good, I found a couple review videos on the SS threads which were definitely helpful. But I'm wanting to see some of these fan modes that supposedly put him in more of a four-legged position like he was in the movie. Because apparently, that's a thing?

Galleries for all of Kingdom before even one PotP gallery, that's what

Yeahhh you right dawg, you right.

[just_aCloud]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who has been looking for those!!! lol

Sadly, I haven't had time to do any of the Studio Series figures yet. Now that I'm in my 3,000 sq ft office space for Seibertron.com HQ, just trying to figure out how to balance my time between the Seibertron.com store, site, and galleries.

Do you have access to your G1 Snapdragon right now? There's a feature of his that you neglected to photograph, a feature left out of the instructions. His robot mouthplate can actually flip up to give his dino mode forehead a small spike

Is there any precedent in any fiction?

Not from what I can see, which means it's either unintentional or overlooked. That feature would align him with the rest of the G1 Headmasters' eye covers though.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

There isn't a precedent for it that I can find, no. But then, I don't think there's one for turning Cerebros' communications room mode into AT-RT either

Even if acting as a spike wasn't the intended reason the mouthplate flips up, it sure works better in that capacity than it does as an eye cover (which you don't show it acting as - well, trying to act as - either, looking at Krunk's gallery).

EDIT: As far as messing with older galleries goes, perhaps the biggest priority should be fixing Lio Convoy's gallery. Most if not all of the thumbnails are misplaced.

[ScottyP]

I know you're not doing galleries right now boss, and these aren't a productive use of time (really selling it here, aren't I?), but the other Allspark Power Walmart exclusive Deluxe Class dudes from 2007 like Big Daddy, Grindcore, Jolt, Getaway, Divebomb and Fracture would be neat-o. I think Crankcase is the only one with a gallery.

Why are galleries on hold if I may ask?

[TulioDude]

I know this isnt on list of priorities,but I would suggest an update on Dark of the Moon cyberverse Crowbar.
His gallery has a mistransformed chest.

[Galvamaximus]

All the Fossilizers.

[Sabrblade]

Galaxy Force Nitro Convoy.

There are a number of noticeable deco differences between that toy and its Hasbro counterpart Cybertron Override. Differences that I feel many have overlooked over the years and just assume that the only thing different between the two is Override having an orange face while Nitro Convoy has a gold face, when there is more to it than that, and which I feel makes Nitro Convoy's deco the better-looking of the two.

I'll pick up GF Nitro Convoy if someone can point me in the direction of the Dark Nitro Convoy. I missed one on Mandarake recently. I thought I owned it, but I can't find it in my collection and I can't find any email indicating that I purchased it previously. I must've been looking for it years ago but never pulled the trigger unfortunately. Considering that she's getting an awesome update in the near future, I'd love to do galleries of all of them if possible.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I wouldn't say the update is "awesome" so much as "Acceptable, with improvement to robot mode proportions."

Would you be interested in adding pictures to Optimus Primal's gallery of the mutant mask being used correctly?

Because looking at the instructions, this..

..is wrong.

Per the instructions (available on Unicron.com), the mutant mask should be used with the other side of the head, and with Primal's antennae flipped down as tusks.

I suspect you getting it wrong in your gallery has been a major contributor to lots of other people getting it wrong.

EDIT:

The correct config, photographed on my reissue Primal (who had yet to arrive at the time I originally posted).

As far as new galleries go... either anything from Power of the Primes, or the RiD Build Team.

That last few Binaltech figures released at the end of the line: Bluestreak, Argent Meister, Arcee, and Convoy.

I've looked high and low and there are ZERO good-quality close-up pics on the Internet of these figures' packaging, instructions, and other paperwork, nowhere near as detailed as the kind of pics found here in the Alternators/Binaltech/Binaltech Asterisk/Kiss Players galleries.

Though, as an aside, something I just noticed is that the Binaltech Asterisk section is empty. Sunstreaker, Alert, and Broadblast have instead been placed in the section for Binaltech proper .

Those late-end Binaltech guys have been high on my list for years. One day I swear! I've got them and they're still sealed in package. Maybe now's the time. Because guess what??? I decided it was time to finally finish up the G1 galleries I've been putting off doing for years. I made a list a couple of weeks ago and I'm not missing many galleries so it's time to finish them up finally.

Metroplex will be up first. Just started finishing up his gallery today that I started like 6 years ago. Ugh. Probably around when Titans Return Trypticon came out and I did Platinum Trypticon.

[Seibertron]

Here's the list that I came up with of G1 galleries I need to finish and/or complete. Apparently there are a few dozen that need to be completed (excluding Battle Beasts and Decoys). There are a few that I need to go back and fix. 15 to 20 years ago when reissues first started coming out, I would often use the reissues in place of original figures. In the case of Wheelie and Cosmos, I'd argue that they are noticably different and the reissues need to be put in their proper series and proper galleries of the original toys need to be posted.

G1 1985 Cosmos (FIX)
G1 1986 Metroplex
G1 1986 Trypticon
G1 1986 Sky Lynx

Here's the list that I came up with of G1 galleries I need to finish

I was about to joke how you peasant needs to do the G1 Metalhawk gallery, but looks like you did a while ago!

Have you found that G1 Metalhawk years ago when it was still possible to be found (for starter) and at a "reasonable price" too, or was it just borrowed for gallery purposes?

Also, shout out for this daredevil G1 Black Zarak gallery.

[Emerje]

Do you have all of the Battle Beasts and Decoys? If so you could always just do a single gallery for each set. I don't think there's any good high resolution galleries of either out there.
