The ring is super cool!
What exactly has been promised with it?
And is this still the nice girl you were in band with? I hope so.

They are pretty awesome! I think Roadhandler is my favorite so far!

The ring is a promise that we're gonna stay true to each other. It's not an engagement ring, but a promise to stay committed till the day we are ready to be engaged.

And yes, this is still the very nice girl from band. We celebrated a belated 1 year anniversary this weekend too

Hot. Damn.

2 things I will say, cause I was sent this earlier today in a line chat. He looks really cool, but something is off. The head doesn't seem quite right and neither does that shade of purple.

But again, damn that's nice. Too bad it's only a legends scale figure. But that might make it more affordable

I'm having some fun with both the Micromasters (Race car patrol, and Road Handler in particular are my favorites) and the effects capabilities with the battlemasters!

Also, Armada Jetfire can totally fit 4 Micromasters in his cargo bay, FYI

Birthday Haul!

All the Kabayas were bought from Burn, the G1 guys were surprises with the Kabayas, and MPM Ironhide was my gift to myself

Happy birthday?! When?!

Also, flippin’ Hydra and Buster in Kabaya form?! How am I missing these things?!

And how is MPM Ironhide?

today actually!

I need to hunt down the last 2 members of the Protectobot lineup in Kabaya now!

And He and I are gonna have a fight tonight. He and I are going to have words and we are going to work through his fiddliness. I got him used off amazon and he was loose in the box last night, so I opened him and got him into robot mode mostly late, so i need the time to get him in shape

So what's the deal with the Kabaya stuff? Models?

Yep, little model kits. Burn had a ton, so i picked up the cool Japanese ones. Big Powered, Dezarus, Star Convoy, the Protectobots with Skyfeather and Heatrock, the Dreadwing bros, it was all cool!

Burn actually reached out to me and asked if I wanted any. the price was good, so why not try them out? they're good looking little things too. And Ironhide and Ratchet are going to become restoration projects, looking forward to those

Because there was never enough attention given to the Kabaya figures.

Sadly I only have two Hydras spare, because they just couldn't pack them evenly.
(Also have 2 x Star Convoys, 1 x WFC Optimus Prime, 1 x Sonic Bomber and 1 x Roadfire but no Dai Atlas)

Excellent, sir! Happy birthday!

So how is Ironhide? Did you buy the one I almost bought from Amazon Warehouse deals?! You jerk! :lol:

After the awesomeness that is my experience with MPM-7, I can't wait for another Warehouse deal.

Thanks!

Yep, I ended up buying the last cheap one from the amazon warehouse deals! I wanted to buy a new one, but then they ran out, and then they only had the 1 left, so I leaped. I did intend to use my Amazon card on SS, but Ironhide works too.

He's.... not terrible.

He's a weak figure, but in the opposite way MPM Prime is. MPM Prime could not and will not assume his truck mode, way too fiddly and wasn't designed as good as he could have been. But his robot mode is strong and I love it.

Ironhide is nearly the opposite. His transformation is less fiddly, (and I don't mind fiddly in this case, seeing as we are dealing with Movie guys, so i know what I'm getting into with all of these) but the shoulders in robot mode are really bringing him down. I can get his shoulders to look steady and for him to look good and tight, but you can't really move him or pose him that well. The robot looks great but it's just so weak in terms of physical build and movability.

He's not bad. But he's certainly weak. Hopefully Jazz follows in the smaller cars footsteps of being pretty darn great and Megatron course corrects the larger guys.

BTW, did I mention how stoked I am for those 2? Especially since that Megatron design as the voyager was my first ever TF? Yeah, I'm stoked

When I first saw an image of the MPM Megs, you were the first person I though of. If I hadn't been super busy at work, I would have tagged you on the Twits.

I'm honored

It's my dream figure finally realized.

Also, let's have a photodump shall we?

Prepare for some pet/snow-friendly Micromasters, Deskbots, and MPM Ironhide is a satisfying form!

(This was the first attempt, followed by the second:

Yeah, this guy is still awesome!!

Check out this haul! $65 shipped for Galvs and Lio, and they are only missing missiles! also Nazi killer Bee

Nautica came to an engineering office today for work. I really need to get her a wrench! She's an inspiration to all my fellow female cohorts! And I love her colors and sass

Executioner Depthcharge! Both images are natural, got some nice shadow early in the morning with the one

Wreck and Rule, movie style. I love this toy so so much

Finally, MPM-6 can hold a few nice poses

Ya know, it's kinda funny that my favorite mode from BWII Galvatron is his drill tank mode, being a Beast era toy and all. This may be the absolute best drill tank we have gotten in Transformers. The drill is longer than my Studio Series deluxes!

Also, have some Studio Series deluxe shots. I've really been enjoying them this week!

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Wed Feb 06, 2019 9:32 pm

I'm embarrassed to say, I completely forgot about drill tank mode. :oops:

I honestly haven't touched that toy for at least seven years. Since I moved to this house and set up my displays.
I should dig him out and give him a good TFing.

That WWII Bee is really neat looking. I don'y think I'd pick him up, but I like his riveted war machine look.

What did they do for Sideswipe's feet wheels (Fweels? Wheets?) so that he could stand? The old toy drove me nuts, but that looks like he can hold some swell poses.
