I've had him for almost 2 months now, so I'm good. A missing end isn't a detriment to me either, gives the figure personality, even if it is a little tiny bit limited in play value compared to what it is!

Today was a Spider Man type of day

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 9:46 pm

Holy crap am I loving these Leaders! this whole wave has been joy after relentless joy to me.

First up, Scavenger. I don't know what it is, but I love the non-traditional Constructicons, and it's now a race between Scavenger and Rampage for my favorite mold. I frikkin love both! Have a group shot, with only 2 to go!

And then there is Shockwave. This guy is just utterly intimidating and terrifying, and he works so well with dark filters. I frikkin love the paint work and sculpting, they captured that movie look spot on.

Have a Dark of the Moon group shot, minus hatchet and Sentinel Prime, as well as another image of the devil opening the gates of hell

also, some proper Dark of the Moon cast shots, since I forgot Starscream and Igor yesterday

Took you long enough.

I think Shockwave might be the most photogenic SS figure in the dark. I love taking these

also, after mention of him was made this week, Bee Supreme came to work today. Gosh I forgot how lovely this figure is

Finally faced these 2 off against one another, and I am super glad they are different molds, makes it more fun

My favorite Bumblebee alternate mode

These 2 are wonderful together. These are soldiers, deep in the trenches of war, and they play well together. Apart they are OK, but together, they are a really good pairing that are really fun

And this Bumblebee is fantastic. He is so accurate and fun! And I love his facemask. And it took them long enough to finally stop the replacement arm for the cannon shtick.

A Bumblebee through time image. I love the progression

I love that last photo so much. It's a lot of fun. It's ret-canologically accurate but the actual figures' release dates are all over the place. Really cool idea ;)^

I thought about including my other Bumblebees too, but the scale was all over the place (as expected), and I decided just to go with the newer in scale ones to make this timeline. I think it turned out good too!

Forget Doctor Who, these are the real Time Lords

I'd never say I'm a Dr. who fan as I've only ever watched Tom Baker as a child, but that intro music haunts my dreams. Let's skip that classic and listen to this other classic banger instead.

Got this guy in the mail today

Which finally allowed me to finish this guy!

Also, today was a Masterpiece type day, with some Prime vs. Megatron combat!

Wow, not seeing the last 5 Avengers movies leaves a guy in the dark

I've heard the references, but I didn't know it was so literal.

I have a question for ya, but you didn't post your Megs in the dark pic here, but are you coloring the eyes in post or is that light piping? The same question for Shocky.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 9:10 pm

No, both Wave and Megs have painted eyes, and with the effects I was doing to them for the dark pictures, the red was flaring brighter. There wasn't a focus on the eyes or anything like that, nor light piping; it was just the fact that they are the only red on either figure that helps the filter effects flare them out

He probably does, he enjoys snickerdoodles

I grabbed some of my silver bots for a photo, except Cogman is his TLK toy

Also, some more shockwave with some comparisons to his original toy, including the new SS one wielding the older arm blade. This Shockwave is simply fantastic.

Also some Scavenger. This is a really really good figure too. He is so very well engineered and painted up. This figure is worth the wait, and worth the price. He is going to be this year's Rampage for me, I can feel it

and a group shot of the best wave of SS figures, hands down

Your situation is looking rather.....Grim

Midnight Bumblebee!

And Cyberverse Prime is pretty cool. Not perfect, but cool

Prime's pose in the last pic is great. Looks like a lot of fun to pose. Love his little angry face. Can I get a pic of him from behind?

Also digging that neon outline looking pic as well. Good stuff.

Prime ended up in that pose a bit by accident, wasn't planning it, but then it looked really good.

I love Grimwing, and that mold. I can't wait to get the 3rd and final use of it later this year

The colors on Grimwing though are so good and fantastic, they play well with cameras.

also, have some Prime booty
