I am so happy right now, thank you! I think this is the happiest I've been since I saw the FOC Shockwave

PS. Still working on the bugs!

Nice, that's surprisingly awesome! Reminds me of the old Classics Prime/Jetfire combination. Looks good!

Megatron and Shocky look awesome together.

Another tip for posting/hosting pics here is I take a pic with higher pixels then zoom in and save it as a vga all on the camera. That will give you good resolution and lower your file size at the same time.

Looks pretty cool... that crotch part is hilarious :lol:

Mon Feb 13, 2012 9:52 pm

Thanks to all. The crotch is an side affect, but in person it is a lot less crude looking

The expression of the eyes makes the rather unfortunate crotch extension even funnier.

I found out RID Cliffjumper can hold Classics Nightstick

The magic of standard 5mm holes

Probably because most (if not all) modern TFs are designed with standard 5mm holes for weapons.

p.s. since there is already an existing line called RID, we should probably refer to the new one as PRID or just TFP to avoid confusion.

Yep. You can stick almost anything into anything nowadays.

If you have HA Roadbuster and HA Leadfoot, you can take Steeljaw's missile and put it into Roadbuster's cannon, giving it a much more realistic look, and it also fires perfectly. You cant fire Roadbuster's missile out of Steeljaw though.

On a side note, I found out why Roadbuster has pegs in his hands. Those pegs are usually there to hold humans, but his hands are too tiny. The reason he still has pegs? to hold Steeljaw's leash! I Also think that any HA of this size can hold the leash with those pegs.

Yes. RiD is about ten years old so there are probably lots of fans here who don't know about it.

This isn't something I just noticed, but I've wondered about for a couple years now. What's the purpose of Animated Voyager Starscream's (or any repaint of the figure) forearm features? They pop out when you slide the gun forward, but really don't serve a purpose.

Anyone able to give me a clue?

News Credits: 11 · Fri Feb 17, 2012 6:21 pm

I'm guessing it's something from the show. I never got that far through Animated though, so I can't say for sure.

Not really something it can do, but a few minutes ago I was gazing dreamily at the newest addition to my collection (Animated Skywarp), as we all do. I was thinking about the forward swept wings and tail-fins. By pure chance, my gaze shifted to my RTS Cyclonus, and I realized that the Animated Seeker mold takes significant cues from Cyclonus's design.

Given the thorough anime and comic influences in Animated there's a strong resemblance to the YF-19 from Macross:

Well, I haven't had him for an hour, and I already scratched his paint. Now there's a purple blotch on the tip of his right wing.

Time for some black paint/sharpie.

There is a lot more to classics Hound's legs then meets the eye

If you take the car panel on the side of the leg and rotate it, it actually gives bit more moving space for the knee joint and makes the legs significantly more flush.

He also has an ankle joint, not the involved-in-the-transformation joint but it works on the same pin as the pegs for Ravage

Now that is something I did not know! I wonder what way they're meant to be? It looks good two different ways.
