I won this guy is a free spin game in a gaming Facebook page, super stoked to have a Seacon! He'll stand separate from my other 6 seacons once they arrive, he's gonna be my Battle Core Prime's buddy.

And he'll be the start of a team built up from exclusive figures to form a sweet Prime combiner. Not sure when I'll finish the team, but they'll all be harder to find figures, and preferably ones that cover the 4 factions.

But, for now, it's awesome to have a seacon, to win a game, and have a Savage Sharkclaw mode!

You're a lucky son of a gun you know that don't you :lol:

Good luck hunting down the Botcon stuff!

They were! But that's why this is a hypothetical and slow collection combiner. I don't want to finish this guy quickly, I'd just like to finish a team eventually.

And yeah, the maximals/predacons are very expensive and hard to get. But I have some alternatives that are more standout figures that I'd like to get if I could as well. SG Starscream feels like a must for me, and I would not mind Roller and Zombie War Breakdown. Unite Warriors Nosecone is also on the list, as is Impactor or Fractyl.

Either way, he'll get a team, and it will be a really mixed bag.

and yeah Zero, I am pretty lucky sometimes :lol:

Hey, did I recall you saying that Seibs helped you piece together some of your figures that were missing bits or helped find figures through his eBay shop?

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 8:51 pm

I found figures through his store, and back last year he did help me out with some parts. He usually only helps when he has a large parts lot and he is reviewing his pieces and putting stuff together from lots though

Ah i see, I was just wondering if it was worth reaching out to him to see if he had any parts I need for omega prime. Thanks anyway D!

I took a bruiser to work today. I love the Allspark power figures

I love the stockade mold, I prefer the original con to the redecos that followed... Wait a moment, where is my Stockade :-?

I actually learned that he could pull off a Hell and Heaven pose from GaoGaiGar pretty well with the way his hands extend :lol:

Prepared to spend eternity as an Alternity

Also, got my final 2 Ghostbusters. I did not want Gozer or Dana Barrett, and did not know about the Terror dog until a few weeks ago, but the terror dog with Gozer makes for a great looking pair, they are growing on me

That is a nice sculpt on the terror dogs! Looks like it stepped from the screen.

it's been a super long week of work so far, but Hotlink, Heatstroke, and Heartburn made today go a little faster. They are such a great package. Need to get Redwing in there beside Hotlink for the full effect.

Had a really long day of work, which was even longer since I worked through the weekend too. But I got 2 nice packages tonight, and while i didn't get to do much, I at least got to open most of them. and funny enough, only 1 out of 10 actually has a non-beast mode

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Jun 30, 2020 9:42 pm

Got a bunch of photos to dump on you guys.

Up first, some smaller movie bots that tickle my fancy

Up next some G2 Megatron

Up next is some Hot Shot, and the realization that he and the Beast Wars show model Transmetal Rattrap share transformation schemes

Finally got my seacons in, and I've been messing around with them some. Trying to find a nice balanced King Poseidon combination. I think at the moment Gulf and Lobclaw are my favorites.

First up though, some shots of my alternate Overbite, who will remain with Battle Core Prime as a partner in crime

And finally, some of my actual full team of fish

Blazing Convoy!!!

And finally, some Red Bull, the T-beast interpretation of G1 Sideswipe. This is only the 2nd 3P figure I have bought, and boy is it a juicy one. The detail is really good on him, I love the modes, transformation is pretty logical, and he is a great overall package. and he looks great paired up with MP-12.

That's quite the photo dump! Great pictures D-Max!

Thanks! I'm having a lot of fun with the new Beasts. Red Bull is a stunner!

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Jul 06, 2020 7:39 pm

Got some new stuff to share!

Wheeljack arrived from Pulse, the Cyberverse set finally went on sale, and i got Cybertron Megatron's key!

Up next, how about some more RedBull? This guy may not give me wings, but boy oh man has he proven to be quite the bang for the buck. This guy is so solid, so fun, and so logical! He lived up to my own hype

Another potential King p configuration

And finally, this guy is burning a hole straight through to my heart

That burning prime is sublime, wonder when they will redeco the Lio Convoy mold to match. That would be an awesome pairing. Great pictures D-Max!

The 5 faces of multiversal judgement

Night of the Mintaur

This is one fantastic mech suit. I am so glad I got it. And it's capable of looking both badass and getting really weird

I am still adoring this little dude. I love how he surfs on my desk monitor, and he can have a water ski mode

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Fri Jul 10, 2020 5:13 am

Oh diaclone, why must you cost so much :-(

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Fri Jul 10, 2020 6:46 pm

That suit was worth it. I feel perfectly OK with having just him and rambler, this one is so cool, i don't feel i need anymore!

Seriously thinking about cancelling my Earthrise Quintesson, i feel like I have the perfect one right here
