With that Snaptrap, that missing piece is highly important as it's actually Piranacon's chest. So that was a good move passing on him.

Ok cool!

I am still finding this Betatron hysterical. I'm either gonna leave him be, or find the other 2 Technobots and leave First Aid and Tentakill by themselves. But no rush, this is so funny.

And I am grateful for the 2 limb dudes, they're pretty fun!

Had some pretty awesome Deskbots this week too: Apache Monday, Dropkick Tuesday, THE KING on Wednesday, and finally some Recon Ironhide today. Love these guys. Feelin' Lucky, Punk?

Came home to a nice surprise yesterday with no shipping notice and another thing came 3 days early! My Icepick finally has his shell again, and I have the double spy!

You should! It has a decent amount of extra plastic besides just the MP figure itself! And you can't beat $100!

I'm mulling over buying the Million Publishings Shouki right now, $43 is a hard thing to say no to. And eBay has a 15% off coupon tomorrow afternoon, and I'm debating going for a UW Computron and Animated Safeguard to go for that coupon.

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 7:00 pm

Pretty long update here.

First up, some recent hauls. Used the Ebay coupon last Thursday to get this guy for $45. Next day, I ordered something from BBTS that had a giant discount, hopefully it'll be here this week to show you guys!

Also, Coworker found this guy in a bin her mom gave her, asked me to identify, I did, and she gave it to me! My first Gobot, Loco!

Next up, Jazzy is the best robot of the year. He is my boy! He even went through a parade with me where we got 4th place in our category!

And finally, some Deskbot shots! Burn really gave me some shiners, Thundercracker is my seeker, MPM Barricade is the best MPM to date, Punch is pretty sweet, and Shockwave is still cool

No Hot Rod or Soundwave, but I found Barricade at last! And the first sighting of Tiny Turbo Changers I've had since last May!

Also, because, as big of an Iron Man fan that I am, I concede that Thor has the best (and 2nd best) movie entrances ever

And then we got the Deskbots of the week! We got a Magnus that really can't deal with you right now, a Whirl spelled "Ker-Klick. Choom." The only symmetrical combiner in Transformers, a mad Hyena, and the ninja Bee!

SCORE!!!!!!

Yes, I did store all of the extra bits. Pictures will come this week of Daddy Dev with his little Son

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Oct 09, 2018 4:55 pm

All the way from the great white north, I have finally got the final wave of Crash Combiners!!

I'm honestly sad that the Beeside set looked so disappointing and I never got it. If I had got that set, I would have had the entire original 6 main cast members (minus Fixit) as Crash Combiners. But having Ultrabee means I still have Bee, Swipe, and Drift. I'll need to post pictures later of Papa Devy and little Devy, along with all my RiD Combiners

My package has made its way to its final station! Man, I love me some trains, and this train is really satisfying. Kinda glad I have the TR Astrotrain though, I feel like this mold was made more for Shouki. Also awesome how heavy he feels

I love that Classics mold. It was really tough for me to replace my Triple Changers with the TR versions. Astrotrain was awesome. Once I fixed Blitzwing's shoulder, I like that mold too. (I can at least still have this mold with Doubledealer.) But, the reason I made the switch was that Octane (or Tankor or Octone or whatever they called him) was a mess. I didn't mind the alt modes so much, but those wings in bot mode... :SICK:

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Oct 15, 2018 6:06 pm

Ag! I never got the classic deluxes, and I have T30 Blitz, and he's cool and I still use him on my generations shelf. But I'm glad I got this mold in some form! It works so well as Shouki!

Scored a new cuddly angry Bee!

But I'm disappointed in him so far. Transformed him twice, and the alt mode just will not tab together. And he already has stress marks in the clear plastic hinge where the hood and windshield connection are. I'm really concerned there are lots of Bees that are going to break, especially with how fiddly the alt mode is

I managed to get Primal from HTS while I was at work Friday (I check the site frequently throughout the day even if I cannot be signed in and on it).

It's also kinda funny how things work out. I have only ever bought 2 figures while at work ever, and both were this year at this job and both were Optimus Primal. Kind of a cool fact about my monkeys

But most importantly: this means my Maximals are complete!!! ...well minus a Blackarachnia, but we're getting there. And Quickstrike and Inferno for the Preds once MP Megs gets here.

I need to upload some pictures from work the past 2 weeks, and I need to take some Devastator shots, some Shouki shots, and now some Munky shots, with 2 more Maximals coming this week!! It's the week of the maximals!!

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Mon Oct 22, 2018 1:45 pm

Well hot dang D-Max!! I don't check in for a few days and the place blows up!! I'm very happy with my PotP Optimus Primal, did you see that I removed the pin and have two independent bots?! I'm also picking up that DNA kit for him. More modes and weapons FTW!!

Also, nice pick ups otherwise, including SS Bumblebee AND Shouki and Daniel!!

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Oct 22, 2018 5:37 pm

Thanks Cram! I did see your pin removal, I went and managed to find a nail the perfect size and separated mine too! Maximal Prime AKA throne Primal will be kept together, but Optimal works with the 2 separate guys!

And on the Maximal note, i got the 2nd of 3 Maximals I will be getting this week:

He is a BIG. BOI. GEEZ.

I also finally got some stuff hung up, take a gander at some new wall decos!

Also, an updated Animated shelf! I think it's finally complete and happy

Next up, Deskbot time to catch up on a few weeks!

First up, I dedicated 4 days to the Knights of Cybertron:

And to round out that week, some fire girl! The color really pops, but I find her and Moonracer to be pretty bland overall. Can't wait to make them arms once I secure a Wreck Gar though!

I still love this Megatron. He is so good looking and intimidating, and I don't regret getting this Botcon set at all!!!

Studio Series Bee is fun to pose! Just maybe not Transform, though with some transformations behind him, he has become easier to get into car mode. But he's still a bit of a pain.

My favorite Predacon. He is so creepy, so smart, so deranged, and he is probably my favorite Antagonist in Transformers period. Think about the worst nightmare you have ever had, and realize this is not a dream Nyeh Nyeh Nyeh!

(Yes, I really did put him on my coworkers keyboard while he was at lunch :lol:

)

Ah, Transformers: Prime. I loved the show, and the toys didn't disappoint either. Wheeljack may be my favorite toy from the line as a whole. He only really needed a bicep swivel to be perfect. And the colors are so spot on and killer

And Prowl! I never intended to get him, but he was a Christmas gift from a friend, and he has served as my Generations Prowl, and I'm not sure if I really want to replace him in that role. His light piping is so gooooood

And finally, the Prime Munky himself! The pin came out really nicely, and I like that little Primal can still snap onto the rest of his back still just fine! I like to think little Primal transforms into a backpack that can powerup Optimal

Newest Maximal in the house!

I love the paintwork on Depthcharge. This figure is STUNNING

Also, have some Shouki. I love the alt modes, but I wish the robot has a little bit better posability. And this mold, along with Drift, really needed an A-stance or ankle tilts

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Fri Oct 26, 2018 6:55 am

Ah yes, the Classics/Generations molds without A-stance capability. Such a miss!!

Your Maximals are shaping up nicely D-Max!! I really need to track some down locally at thrift shops. Never seem to though.

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Wed Oct 31, 2018 6:19 pm

Scored this guy today, and damn, he is wonderful!

Also, my Halloween at work:
Do you want a balloon there Georgie?

We all Float down here

Joker for the win!

Next, a Ramulus, a Sideswipe, and a Bee/Barricade fight!

And finally, some pupper love. My old girl, over 14 years 8 months old, Wrinkles, and our little blind buddy Duke all curled up

An oldie but a goodie.

That Soundwave mold is pretty awesome, but I'm 50/50 on the colors of the new deco.

I'm glad to see the Joker here, I would have been little remiss if he didn't show up.

You know, I miss that Sideswipe figure. Not that one but the mold. He was pretty cool.

Joker, eh?!

The RID2015 one? I've got one I wouldn't mind parting with for cheapsies or tradesies.

Oh and D, I haven't forgotten about Airachnid, well not completely 8-}
