Well if he likes Galvy's lavender color, then that's good enough for me. :lol:

Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it!!!!! The Beast Wars guys are so much fun! I definitely recommend TM1 Cheetor and Fuzor Silverbolt highly!!! And Tigerhawk if you got the dough!!!

I think I'll forego all the OG stuff and just get the MPs if I'm gonna jump. That dang Megatron looks so much like dang Megatron it's CRAZY!

Also, what's up Seibertron citizens? Here's the last week of things.

Sunday, for the day of being a father, I received this guy and two Prime Masters!

So Monday they met at the office with others!

Tuesday was another tank day. This time TR Megatron joined. Couldn't get things to tab properly though and it was throwing errything off. Here he is, in three-wheel motion.

I got it all sorted though, his lower legs weren't tabbing in to his pelvis or upper legs properly. Classic.

Wednesday, more tanks. With an alternate front end configuration suggested by carytheone!

I was lamenting I didn't have a deluxe sized Megatron tank, then realized I did, but my nephew had it at the time :lol:

Yesterday, after finally getting Movie Ironhide back, I decided he needed some time in the office. Brought AoE customized Bumblebee as well. I reaaaaaaaaaaaally like this guy, and probably won't be replacing him with the Studio Series version. MPM though? Maybe..

So I brought him back today with Movie Premium Bumblebee. Fits scale wise better.

Lots and lots of bots!

The Megatron mold has issues with the legs, it irks me how much force you have to use. Surprisingly though, the Legends G2 one has no issues whatsoever

Nice tanks! I still love the CW Megatron

Yay, I recommend things! Looks good.

It's crazy how much force it takes to get Meg's legs to peg, like plastic breaking force. Blitzwing just pushes together with a soft click, no force needed.

It was news to me. And I should've held out since I have Laser Optimus Prime. They'd go so much better together. I should just turn TR Megatron in to Tarn :lol:

Thanks! CW Megatron is still awesome!! I just wish his ankles/hips were better for posing.

Yes you did suggest the good things!! It's pretty neat looking. I actually think I never had him transformed properly in tank mode because things never clicked in right.

DESK BOT OF THE DAY!!

I put batteries in this guy for the first time last night. I've been "pew-pew-pew"ing since!! Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally makes me want to pick up MP36..Also, the tip of his arm laser just fell off?! Apparently it's a separate piece of plastic, so I just LOCTITE glued it back on. Seriously though, WTF?!

Also, how about that PotP Blast Off?!

I thought the laser tip arm was replaceable as a feature :-?

The SHOCKER llnl :shock:

The whole "cannon" is, yes. Not the very very end of it though, like the last half inch. Popped right off. Stupid thing!

You know how collectors are. It's been opened and transformed and an hour has passed by, it's old news now. On to the next hunt :BANG_HEAD:

I'm still waiting on you to talk me into ordering one. Give me all the juicy details, what's the scuttlebutt? :-?

Let's put it this way. I thoroughly hyped this guy up to myself AND I've been trying to find the right deal on a Revenge voyager Starscream.

He lived up to the hype and that deal hunting is over. I'm all set. :lol:

I do think I tried to overcomplicate his transformation. NEVER rotate his head around and try to transform him. It's not supposed to be that way! I'm still not sure how I got it there AND got it back..hot dang though he's nice. It's a dang pretty alt mode too. I'm still trying to figure out if I need to add some paint details, but I think he's good. The ONLY think I wish he had was the forearm guns that he uses in the movie. And maybe the saw thing, but I think that was in Revenge of the Nerds.

Ahhhhh...... RotF. Derp, I don't know the movies well, so that didn't click. I was hoping it was some sweet "revenge" deco Starscream that I really needed to learn about. Oh well.

Ah, I know the movies relatively well. So much dumb fun. Except for Prime being not the nicest person, why he so mean? How can freedom be the right of all sentient beings when all he wants to do is take peoples faces?!

So, BW G1 Optimal Optimus has to be one of my favorite figures of all time. I was showing off his multiple modes this week, and getting everything to line up perfect reveals the fun they put in to this guy.

Here he is in the sun.

Here he is in destroyer mode. And he carries a few matrices.

Brought MP Hot Rod today. He's also the fun. But how many times have I taken pictures of that guy. :lol:
