Just out of curiosity, what recent figures do you guys think would work best for a Cybertron Clocker custom? Clocker is a very nostalgic character to me since Scout Clocker from Cybertron was one of my first Transformers toys, and I would love to make myself a deluxe sized one. Do you think TR Chromedome's mold would work? The great think about TR is that you can separately buy a different titanmaster heads to customize figures into other characters.

Chromedome might work and the head swap is a good idea. I think we're going see a lot of TR head swap customs. I had to look the guy up but CW Breakdown immediately came to mind.

My first thought was CW Prowl just based on the chest plates, but Dead End kinda nails it. He has a lot of the right shapes all over. Good call Cary. I'm sure you could find him dirt cheap too. I think I saw him at HTS for like $12.
Now what to do about the head. :-?

Nice suggestion. My hopes are that maybe they'll use the Breakdown mold in TR so I can swap the head easier.

Looks really good D. Wheeljack too.

Well done having fun.

Why thank you good sir. Sunstreaker was actually based on your idea for me to turn him into Cheetor, and Prowl II is actually a real character too if you didn't know that: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Prowl_II

this set was a lot of fun

Alright, Cary I know how much you love my guessing games, so I have another one for you (and anyone else who wants to chime in!)

So, including today, in the past week I have scored 6 items. Here some of them.

1) I got that Silverbolt that was turned into Magnaboss.
2) Shaki Jaki was absolutely the BOSS and has mailed me a Great Sword for my Drift (Love you Shak!)
3) (just tonight with 2 other items) Sandstorm, whom you had already guessed.
4-6) Time to play a game!

Ok, so of the 3 remaining figures, 2 were bought tonight, the 3rd is expected to be here Tuesday. Now I'm going to give you some clues, see if you can't figure this out! The 3 bought tonight BTW were bought using a paypal coupon I got that was $15 off any $50 or more order. (I love coupons).

First clue: All 6 transformers are from different lines. (we have Combiner wars, Thrilling 30 and Generations already) so there are 3 more lines that I have obtained figures from (sublines included).

Second clue: the one meant to arrive tuesday has an accessory character that is only available from Hasbro with the main character in the package.

Third clue: One of the figures is right from around when I got into transformers and is a spy

Fourth clue: the last figure is a character that I need for the Lost Light but isn't necessarily the G1 accurate character he is supposed to be plus also lacks his major G1 gimmick.

3 figures are up for dibs! I want to see if anyone can get these!

I think the Lost Light one is Perceptor!

:MAXIMAL:

News Credits: 3 · Sun Jun 12, 2016 9:37 pm

Hmm these are tricky ones. I am kinda gonna guess that number two is possibly a spy changer.

Does this include 3p figures?

I own no 3rd party guys and won't for a long time, if ever. And it is not a spy changer. all of these guys are older than the first Live-action movie!

Wrong... but still a good guess!

It's a lesser known Lost Lighter too! :MAXIMAL:

Between your 2 guesses, you've had the right line and the right gimmick, but haven't got them both yet :MAXIMAL:

Hmm for clue three; You are not very old. I would say it's after G1. Maybe Beast Wars Rattrap? Just a guess.

Not yet, but I count it as a haul since it is en route! Even brought Drift back to the dorm so he'll be ready to claim his sword when it does get here! :MAXIMAL:
