Dusty Bottoms is a bit of a beast to get to stand. Huge backpack syndrome.

Is it a balance issue or a loose joint issue. I usually have to fiddle with the back pack a bit and lean him sorta forward to get him to stand.

Push comes to shove just put him in wheelchair mode.

And Sandy won't stand? That's odd...

I appreciate it greatly and I hold myself to getting you that beer someday :lol:

I also found out the sword could slot in since I actually had Drift in vehicle mode at the time that I got the sword. Slides in there and holds nice and tight!

Yeah, his backpack is doing him no favors. On mine, it's like the heel just won't support him. He simply rocks back and the only way so far he has stood is when he is trying to touch his toes. I'm gonna keep working on him though.

and I love that Wheelchair mode. Might have to give it a whirl!

So I was driving an hour and a half to a job this morning and my mind was wondering like it tends to do and somehow I ended up on a MtMtE alignmemt chart. I have a bit of a fetish for alignmemt charts in various fictions. Maybe it's my years of being an RPG player, but they help me understand the characters better, based on something I can relate to.

Anyway you seem to have a pretty good finger on MtMtE, so here goes.

Lawful Good: Ultra Magnus

Neutral Good: Drift, Ratchet

Chaotic Good: Rodimus

Lawful Netral: Skids, Swerve

True Neutral: Rung, Cyclonus, Tailgate

Chaotic Neutral: Whirl, Brainstorm

Lawful Evil: the DJD

Neutral Evil: the Scavengers

Chaotic Evil: Overloard

That's just a start and I may be off base on a few. Feel free to correct me and make additions.

Kind of a rushed list that I wanted to get out before walking into the store I'm about to open and have my brain scrubbed.

EDIT: it might also be because now that I've moved my CW figures I'm working on my MtMtE display.

I had never heard of alignment charts until you just showed this off, but they are interesting. took the test myself and I'm tied at Neutral/Lawful good. Of that list, there are plenty of good ones, but I would more put Ultra Magnus as lawful neutral. He's generally shown to be neutral in many regards and he wants to see the law upheld to its fullest. Other than that, they all seem to be in a decently good place

Good call on UM, I don't know, I just thought it might be fun. Could have just been me being up so early.

Now that you're familiar with the test, I usually test chaotic neutral or true neutral. Depends on the day and the test.

I am a neutral good myself. Cool how MTMTE Ratchet and Drift are some of my favourites.

Neutral Good here. ;)^

It's really interesting to see the characters divided up like that and I dig it. Drift, Skids and Swerve are among my favorite, and I love Brainstorm and Whirl being together in the chaotic neutral category. It really fits and it's kinda funny too

It's fun and sometimes surprising to group personalities in a more high level generalization like this.

I'm glad you agree with some of what I tossed out. I was just talking out my ass. But where would you slot in some of the ones I missed. I was just going for the low hanging fruit.

Maybe when I get some time I'll make one of those cool grids you see on the interwebz.

Hmm, Let's see what I can come up with:

Nautica: Lawful good
Riptide: Lawful neutral
Getaway: Lawful Evil
Trailbreaker: Neutral Good
Sunder: Chaotic Neutral
Froid: Chaotic good
Thunderclash: Lawful good

Dr. Va'al could probably give some more good thoughts. those are the ones that hit me now

He's this guy:

Basically he's a darker version of Rung that was inspired by Prime Soundwave. He is the one who kept Sunder and fed him the dark memories of the unfortunate.

and Cram: It's ok buddy. if you were labeled chaotic I'm pretty sure a lot of us would be scared sparkless :lol:

I just realized that chaos has been a big part of the Sonic franchise.

Chaos emeralds

Chaos is the big bad guy of Sonic Adventure

Them adorable Chao's you can raise.

Yeah Sonic Adventure was the last sonic game I played. Shame on SEGA for trying to kill Old Blue.

I mean who do they think they are - Capcom?!? :lol:
