Hmmmmmm, who could he mean?

Awesome mixed bag of awesomeness, D!
Especially Vector Prime!

Thanks! I've had that Safeguard for a while, and even though they're the wrong color, it's good to have Vector in the house! He is really heavy too!

I may be able to help you with that. I gave some of my Takara Technobots to my cousin a while back (he got into Transformers about a year ago, and I've been helping him build up his collection by trading with him), Afterburner included. If I can make a trade to get Afterburner back, I can sell him to you.

Ah, that was a typo, I meant the Takara Strafe.

Got my TFsource haul, and Big Convoy is not disappointing me! Gosh he is cool! Drift has some nice paint, and Big Powered is pretty.



Also, have some Masters of Action and some Beasts! FEAR!!!

Part, um, 5(??) of my bad decisions week haul. and I'm feeling Groovy!



Which led to some fun combiner fun while I was watching some Battle 360




And my final configuration for Infernocus, for now at least. Not sure if it will change once Ricochet, Swoop, Greenlight and Lancer arrive.

As for why this configuration, well, I have a Defensor with a Rook and legends Groove, so I finally have a deluxe one, and he is partnered up with the bot that replaced him as a limb and are survivors of an alternate dimension. Air Raid is similarly on his own, and Inferno and Smokescreen have actually been BFFs and more in at least 3 continuities, so this made complete sense to me!



While we're at it, have some Big Powered! More thoughts will come on him next week



Hot. damn.

I think I may have a new favorite Maximal mold, and I think I have my favorite Supreme Commander right here

Now you know why I kept using Big Convoy in my lists.

Last part for now, who knows when my last package will arrive.

Is it sad that of this lot, Stakeout was my most anticipated bot? Hopefully not, cause I love him

Stakeout came with me this weekend to my GFs graduation, and while he didn't get a lot of time for pictures, we did get 2 nice ones




I will say firstly, this is a pretty fantastic piece. Both he and the Wave prior to him OP are pretty great toys. Movie 1 OP can move a bit more, but both really good.

Now I know I have been critical of the Bee movie Cybertron designs, and I maintain that those designs are better suited in a rebooted universe, WFC style, not my main movieverse continuity.

That said, this guy will not stand with the movie guys. He is like a Steampunk G1 Prime, so he will be separate on his own, and look good doing so.

I also really like Siege Pteraxadon as his weapon, it really seems to work. and Pteraxadon himself is a really nifty little fella! He is easily my favorite Battlemaster so far, with Lionizer in 2nd.








Also for fun, taken during the Podcast recording on Thursday



And that transitions to more Big Convoy!!!

I LOVE YOU, Big Convoy!!

AWESOME PICS, D-Max

I love him too!!!!! He is fantastic!!

Dang, Infernocus is making me so happy. I love this combiner team!

I've seen this exact post before..!

I also have a request. MPM7 Bumblebee with SS38 Optimus Prime, please and thank you!

IRONHIDENSH IS MY HERO!!

It's not THAT bad..at least SS38 is taller. Ponder this, I must.

Got some new bots in! the Beast wars are raging on here, and it seems as though the Japanese bots are starting to invade!

Man, I started looking, and I definitely feel that this Beast hunt is going to get interesting. Diver is really expensive, holy smokes!



Red Heat is truly in trouble



For the first time ever, I've placed a pre-order for a Marvel item! And in this case, 3. my Iron Squad will be complete, and I will have my favorite super hero's infinity gauntlet!





And finally, have some Big Powered.

This guy is interesting. Roadfire is my favorite of the bunch, he's chunky, has some great colors, and he's super fun too! I like his new tank mode too.

Sonic Bomber is pretty good too. Legs are a little funky, but i like him. That black and the highlights are sublime, he is fantastic. That mold is really good, and he looks sharp.

Dai Atlas is cool looking, but his new crotch assembly is troublesome. it's loose, so his alt mode doesn't hold together so nicely and his robot mode is a bit loose at the ab crunch and waist rotation. He's nice, but needed a bit more work on the waist. And his calves needed some filling in.

And finally, Big Powered mode itself is really cool. It looks so slick and sweet, even if it is just all 3 of them stacked on top of one another. I think this was worth the purchase, it's a really cool set!

Bighorn and Stampy enjoyed some time out in the open this 3-day memorial day weekend, and they really enjoyed their time outside












Assemble: Team Firestormer!










Form: INFERNOCUS!





Baby Dinobots are adorable even if Drift is a bit weak

Love that damn Stampy!

Great pics, D!

Stampy is pretty fun! I wish his Rabbit mode could sit in a more relaxed pose, but he's so cute!

Thanks! I think Bighorn is a great figure for grass shots, and he looks great with the flowers

Had a day in the Collectors store today!

Roadbuster, Brimstone, and Ricochet came from a shelf. The rest? They came from a massive bin with so many loose figures of all types. I dug though it for 2 hours, gradually putting pieces of figures together, and kept those that were either very close to completion or were complete. Whole thing ended up being just a smidge more than a current Leader class figure.

So I ended up with:

DotM Roadbuster - Complete. finally got this guy after watching for a good complete one off and on for a while. So glad, I love the Wreckers.
G1 Reissue Ricochet - Love me some Targetmasters, and I got a G1 one! Although he was missing an accessory (missiles I think?) but came with 2 more pieces the box didn't advertise including a large shoulder missile launcher.
Move Brimstone - Complete, he was too cool to pass on.
Universe 2003 Spy Changer Jazz - really cool, main toy only
RiD2001 W.A.R.S - body only, didn't even think about him being a TF until I saw the bot symbol. Took me a while to figure out who he was.
Destructicon Drone - It was cool, and I decided to finally get my PCC Crankcase that I got last year figure only some limbs.
McD's Animated Bumblebee - cause cute and I love Animated
Movie Beachcomber - missing windshield and guns, but still a good looking guy who gets away with no shield a bit.
BW Snapper - got him Complete!
BW Lazorbeak - missing right foot and arm
BW Razorbeast - One that I really did want to find, missing his gun, but still good as is.
BW Optimus Primal - missing right arm and weapon
BW Wolfang - Missing missiles, shield, and tail. But he was in 5 pieces that took an hour to put together, so I was not giving up on him.
BW Noctorro - Complete!
BW Armordillo - Missing rear beast feet and 1 mace, but he came with the other
BW Ignuanus - missing tail
BW Terrorsaur - missing both legs, but can do beast mode
BW Transmetal Waspinator - missing 1 small wing and parts to 3 beast legs
BW Buzzsaw - also in a lot of pieces and put together, so not giving up, needs lower right leg and beast parts
G2 Bonecrusher and Scavenger - figures only.
Also picked up a few spare weapons from the bin.

Who's ready for a massive photo dump??

First up, new Flame Toys model! Love these things










Up next, have some Quickstrike! What in Taaaaaaaaaaaaaarnation?!





Human alliance Roadbuster. This figure right here is a real gem. The alt mode is faultless, and the robot mode is really good! This is easily the best Human Alliance figure made.




Also made some adjustments to my shelves this weekend. The beasts now require 3 shelves, and they'll soon have 9 more members added to their ranks as well


The Predacon Commanders


And my newly updated Unicron Trilogy Shelf


And finally, have some Stampy, Bighorn, and my lady Sonar!

OOOUUU sonar! How did you find that guy? Also, really glad you have that roadbuster, its a great movie toy.

I bought Sonar from Seibs himself! She's a delightful transmetal 2 bat.

And I love the movie Wreckers, everything about them speaks to me. And their alt modes are the best. I'm so glad to have an armored chunky Roadbuster, there isn't a single thing I can find bad about him in any way

2 weeks ago, my Aunt passed after a 14 year fight with Cancer. It's been a long fight, but her body finally failed her, though she stayed determined to the end. Cancer has been hard on my family, I hate it.

She was living in Florida most of the year with my Uncle, her brother. Friday after work, Bri and I flew down, leaving from Pittsburgh airport, layover in Charlotte, and landed in Sarasota to go to my Uncles. We had to get my Aunt's car, her cats, and some other things to bring back to PA for my cousin, who I'm very close to, and he's the distributor of the estate. So we drove from Venice, Florida over to Daytona beach/speedway, then up through Georgia, North and South Caroline, Virginia, DC, Maryland, and finally Pa, spending 24 hours on the road.

Bri likes Jazz and found his company quite funny for our trip. It was fun, we made a Jazz travelogue (Jazz-alogue?) of our trip, and you can check it out below. Jazz takes a special place in my collection for how far he travelled and also because he now has pics taken from 33,000 and 36,000 feet above the Earth






















Jazz, Bri and I all felt the same once we were home:


Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. A somber reason, but it was a good 2500 mile round trip.

Returned home to find 3 packages, with a few more coming soon:


Also a few desk bot shots from this week. Noctorro is really fun

Received the newest member of the Beast Crew today: Neo Hardhead! Pretty good mold, and the colors are awesome!
