It looks so good with the Galaxy Force deco!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Optimus Prime - Super Mode through the trilogy. Ironically, none of my 3 Primes are the original, they are all repaints: Powerlinx colors, Platinum Year of the snake, Galaxy Force

[ZeroWolf]

Shame you didn't have the repaint Overload to combine with Powerlinx Prime they repainted Cybertron wing Saber didn't they?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

for Armada, I have Powerlinx Jetfire and Prime, but I wish I had Magnus to complete the trio proper. But regular Overload is nice, and I keep Jetfire separate cause he is so good (but I might be switching it up for a big here soon...)

Energon is Platinum Prime, but energon Wing Saber never got a repaint I believe, and I am kinda thinking about eventually hunting down Platinum Omega to go with Prime to complete that trio, but that is a ways out.

Cybertron I got Galaxy Prime, and Leobreaker will come, but Leobreaker could also be Nemesis Breaker, Razorclaw, or Leo Prime, and Wing Saber could be movie Wingblade. But I think I am far happier with the original Wing Saber paint job. I love that yellow chest on the black and red Prime!

[ZeroWolf]

There's actually two Leo Prime repaints isn't there for Leobreaker, the white one and the red one.. So four repaints from his mold, not bad for an arm

Wingblade! I knew I was getting the name wrong!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't know Cybertron Jetfire had 2 repaints! I thought his Sky Shadow and Jetstorm repaints were the same bot, didn't know they were so different and in different lines!

Also kinda funny that Jetfire was repainted into Jetstorm, and then those were the names of the Twins in Animated!

[ZeroWolf]

It was a clever use of the name and worked well for the characters (despite the hate they got at the time)

What are you focusing on next from these lines then?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

What are you focusing on next from these lines then?

Well, I have a Cybertron Megatron, Jetfire, and Landmine all on the way, then I am going to take a bit of a break from buying for a bit, to properly enjoy some of my new bots (and to take a crap ton of pictures).

After that, I'm thinking i will be hunting down some more Cybertron guys, since that is my favorite of the 3 lines, with focus on some Speed Planet folks, especially Override, and Menasor. Also want to fine 1 more smaller Powerlinx bot to go with Downshift so i have Towline and 2 proper combining pairs.

not Other than that, no real plan, just finding some of the good molds and enjoying them!

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Congrats on your acquisitions, D-Max! And your photos look awesome!

If you haven't got them already, Energon Inferno and Hot Rodimus. I will vouch for both.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I do have Inferno, I bought him and Prowl together from a hotel room Friday night at TFcon last year, and they have been partners ever since. Both work almost equally as well as either a top or bottom half. also got Towline on the main floor Saturday, but he proudly stands alone.

Now with Downshift, I think Rodimus might be a good pair to him, or a good 4th to start swapping and land on another combo. Thanks for the recommendation Z-Wolf!

i still sort of want to get a Cliffjumper or Ironhide (or repaints of them) to make a larger powerlinx pairing. those 2 are the definitive larger combining bots I want to get eventually

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Also, totally just realized that with Jetfire coming, and I have a Shouki, I can do the shuttle on top of the large cargo jet thing those 2 molds were able to do! Yay! Shouki's shuttle mode can finally be some use!

No problem D-Max! Great to hear you've already got Inferno, and while I can't comment on Ironhide, Cliffjumper is a great toy.

Also there's a fan mode between Cybertron Jetfire and the classics Astro train toy? Awesome!

The last time I did a fan more like that was combining Armada Megatron with the RiD 2001 redeco of G2 Dreadwind and Smoke jumper. While fragile, it was fun never tried the combo that added Tidal Wave to the mix

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm not sure how "fan mode" that Jetfire/Astrotrain combo is, I think it might have been acknowledged that this was on purpose. but is a cool feature, I promise to take a picture and show you!

[ZeroWolf]

If it was on purpose, then all the better!

[Tuned Agent]

D-Max, if you're looking for more Cybertron figures, I'd suggest Ransack and Crumplezone. They're both really fun, and Ransack is maybe the best scout from Cybertron, IMO.

I agree with this statement!

My one grip about Ransack though is his high heeled feet, they can sometimes prevent really good poses, but otherwise, it's a fantastic little figure.

Both of them are towards the top of the future list, pretty much all of Velocitron is top of the list

[ZeroWolf]

I'll add my voice to the chorus on ransack... Though I prefer scattershot as the best scout

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Scattorshot is cool and well-armed, but he has an unfortunate case of hips that only bend sideways.


Showing off my own Sonic Wing Mode.


And also reposting (now that I'm in a better mood and have also made an important tweak to the photo) this delightful overkill combination made possible by flipping the Super Mode backpack's straps all the way up and nestling Wing Saber on top of it.

[Rodimus Prime]

Claw-rific! They actually look like a Con like that. Like a mutated Scorponok.

[ZeroWolf]

You really don't like that Deviant Art update do?

Loving the overkill pictures though!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I got some things:



And the bulks now have their partners:

[Gauntlet101010]

Oh, a Bug Drone. Wish I had one a those.

I remember seeing that Blurr in stores back in the day. I found it tempting for a long time for CHUG. Until we got Legends.

[ZeroWolf]

A yellow Cyclonus? Which line was he from?
