MIGHTY GOBITS Windcharger, FTW....?

News Credits: 15 · Wed Nov 01, 2017 8:08 am

Still the best G1 animation Windcharger yet :lol:

Took this out of storage last night!!

I forgot it had firing missiles and spring loaded wing parts!!

I also brought Generations Starscream with me today, added RiD warrior Starscreams' null rays, stored his default weapons on his back for vehicle mode ;)^

Baby Screamer definitely favors his earth daddy.

Those RID Rays look good on daddy FoC SS. I love that mold/design so much and I don't care what the haters have to say about it. I wouldn't mind getting them fancy Planet X versions either 8-)

Heck yeah to all of the above!! I also wouldn't mind the infiltration version of that dang seeker. Or this add on for him!!

It's a reaaaaaaaaaally nice fighter. I was flying it around the house last night, still haven't opened the Anakin that will be it's pilot though :POPCORN:

I mean I have a bunch of various Star Wars figures out of package but there's one I want to use in particular that for some reason is still sealed.

Yes to both especially that Infiltrator SS. That thing is crack rock candy delish!

That Pride looks cool and I've seen it at TFS for $10, but they are out now. The only problem I have is that you cannot transform the figure with it attached. BOO! Dat crown though ;)^

So. Things.

Here they are with the other LoZ amiibo I have.

Can't believe I'm missing SSB Zelda and Shiek, LoZ Anniversary Toon Link/Toon Zelda, Skyward Sword Link, Ocarina of Time Link, Twilight Princess Link, and Majora's Mask Link. So. Many. Missing!!

Spoiler alert. In Breath of the Wild, Hyrule's princess Zelda AND Zora princess and Champion Mipha LOVE Link!

Here's some photos carytheone requested of Magnus and Magnus and Minimus.

Brought Hasbro TF Animated Rodimus Minor and Takara eHobby TF Animated Black Rodimus to the office, along with KO MP18B Blueblue! Black Rodimus has a loose neck. Lame. KO MP18B is just not tight in most places. Also lame.

Oh. Word up then. Cameo style.

You need to buy all the amiibo. NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!! They are functional and awesome statues ;)^

I definitely prefer the leader Magnus head. that titan master Magnus is a bit weird

Nah, I generally don't like how they are implemented in the game. Feels way to pay to win for my taste. Too microtransactiony, too DLCy, too content locked behind a pay wall-e.

I do however like them as little collectible statues. Such great detailing and paint. I picked up a few when they were still a new thing. I've since been getting my plastic Ninty fix via the World of Nintendo line, Nendoroids and Figma.

Oh, and I don't own a system that is compatible and maybe only one game that uses them (M: Samus Returns). I think I can unlock extra E/Missle tanks and the super hard mode or something.

I did get past the thing I was stuck at though.

am i doing this right?

I guess it depends on the crowd :lol:

I really enjoyed both, so win win. Now to summon the will to put in another FFIII play-though on the SNESC.

LOL - nice, Cary. My waifu knows nothing of gaming -- she was a fan of the old school point-n-click PC-style adventures, but no interest in all the other genres.

Speaking of retro-gaming, I briefly replayed Chrono Trigger on the 3DS....then got sucked into Danganronpa V3.

What up y'all?!

Had these guys here last week. After fixing Prime's axe and Rodimus' leg exhaust part, I'm a much bigger fan.

So these two were here yesterday.

Alt Prowl is going to get customized. And not just the leg swap I did yesterday!

And these two are here today!

Also, I've resigned myself to Alt SS and SS being my MP-ish versions of them. After parting ways with MP Sideswipe I cancelled my PO for MP Sunstreaker. For me, a version of them is better than no version. And, I saved money since I already had them :lol:

Here's another pic of Alt Mode Sideswipe on his Tooned Countach.

That is one slick Rodimus!!! Me Likey!!!

And yay for having at least a version of the lambros!

I think I picked him up last year, he was MISB so I was excited. A few QC issues though, that leg exhaust piece had its tabbing mechanism piece installed wrong and his head is super loose on the ball joint. My Hasbro version is perfect. I alllllllllmost went down the Black Rodimus/Nemesis Prime path thanks to that Black Rodimus!!

And yeah, at least one Sideswipe and Sunstreaker will do for me ;)^

One day when I find my zen and focus real hard, I'd like to only have one version of each character. But for now ... :BOWDOWN:

The more I like at them Alt figures, the sexier they become. Dang! I'll say it again, but a full display of Alt/BT figures in alt mode would be slick ;)^

Thank you sir ;)^

The transformations are fun and everything tabs together well on most. They are totally car kibbled up, but I actually don't mind it! Maybe because it's more G1 toy than G1 cartoon, and I like having the mix to break things up. The alt modes are completely nailed and they roll sooooooooooooooo nicely!!

Working on the modified transformation of Sideswipe now. Just need to notch out a section under his rear bumper and then I'll have trunk-chest Sideswipe and windshield chest Sunstreaker!!

I've got Mirage and Jazz back in my MP/Ark display, these two should join them today. That Ford GT is a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally nice bot and alt mode. I can honestly say the only bot mode I don't like is Optimus, and that may just be my mileage varying. He's loose everywhere. SOMEDAY I'll have my Hound. I think that and the MP9 Rodimus trailer are the only things on my super want list. Maybe I'll sig it too!!

Better take them Alt's off your for sale thread.

Skids is the only Alt I have and only got him because he has a nice looking bot mode and you know I'm a sucker for a bot with nice hood chesticles

EDIT: I'm excited to see your fanformation. Nothing like some junk in the trunk on your chest... wait wut?

I remember that..and Alt Jazz/Shockwave have some great ones!! Did you also have a Scion xB at one point that also influenced that purchase, or was that Cobotron?

It should be neat!! Obviously the idea has been around a long time and clearly has been executed before, I think I'm gonna pop the pin out though to make sure I notch it out precisely. And who doesn't want dat?! :lol:

I have the Scion's second cousin, a Toyota Matrix (same color, no flames, no influence). I think Cobro either had something similar or just a general love of small hatchbacks.

So yesterday you saw these two.

But you didn't see that I wanted to have Sideswipe like this.

Of course that doesn't look right, so to get his back half to compress right you have to notch out a section here.

Which now looks like this.

Not my cleanest work, and after locating a clear backed white outlined Reprolabel, he stands like this next to his brother!

And here's the displacement of the kibble.

Obviously Sunstreaker has a roof which adds to the backpack, but Sideswipe definitely cleans up now!

On other, not as friendly forums, I believe what I did would be referred to as "polishing a turd". I think of it as saving me $160 (price of MP Sunstreaker and MP Sideswipe) :lol:
