oh you poor sonsobitches :grin:

I'll make it up by posting a pic of a long forgotten figure (to me) that I have recently revived with new posing ability. Pics within the day.

I found out that Prime RID Cliffjumpers Club can have its back removed and attach to the handle for a better gun

By 'British accent' do you mean Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Geordie, Scouser, Chav or something else?

The Yanks call anything ranging from Cockney to Geordie a British accent.
They have managed to distinguish Scottish and Irish, though.
(Unless it's Van Dyke, and then Australian and Cockney are interchangeably bad.)

I'm guessing it's RP, going for the Victoria stereotype.
Obviously I knew that! I was trying to make the point that 'British Accent' doesn't equal 'posh'. Of course, Cockney and Geordie ARE British and so is Scottish, and none of these sound posh. If he'd said 'English' he'd have been closer to the mark.

there are loads of Scottish accents, and some of them are quite posh sounding actually. Same goes for the Welsh, probably. Katherine Jenkins sounds kinda posh at least.

So I dug out Movie Bonecrusher (Who I call Demolisher)

and found a useful way of posing his crazy limbs that look much better and actually give him an imposing appearance.

He is now added back to my shelf after proving his mettle.

Not sure if anyone posted this before, but I discovered that there's actually a niche on FE Arcee's back that you can fit part of the front wheel into, giving her back kibble a somewhat more integrated look.

Honestly, you can only fit part of the front wheel's cowling inside, but I personally think it looks better than what the instructions show.

Wow, that's pretty rad looking. I think I'll transform mine like, too.

Off topic: I don't suppose there's a bus Transformer out there, is there? Like actual toy bus-TFs, not obscure British joke comics or whatever.

And this one didn't seem to ever release:

There was this third party one a long time ago but I don't think it ever got released :-(

Wow, MINDVVIPE, you just keep on blowing my mind today.

Too bad "Robobuz" didn't get released, it looks a lot nicer than the first one.

Wow! just read through every post in this thread. Took me several days. Here is my contribution. For the longest time I had classics blurr's rifle assembled with the smaller guns attached facing the same direction as the larger rifle. Even some online riview had him this way. I remember thinking how an actual sniper rifle bi-pod looks and faced them backwards for a much more realistic looking gun. This may be old news by now and there is only one youtube video I've found that shows it this way.
Also, I do not have united rumble or frenzy, but have always wondered if the backpack from dotm legends class optimus can attach to the back of rumble/frenzy:

WFC Megatron has a Decepticon face/logo on his backplate.

He also has an Autobot logo on his assplate

*waits for high five*

What, you don't see it?
How about take a second to check out the galleries, instead of reverting to sarcasm...

I don't think they were trying to mock you, the joke was on those of us who looked for the actual Autobutt logo. #-o

Looking at the WFC Megatron IN MY HAND... I don't see it. I see a vague, almost symbol - like shape, but no. He does NOT have an Autobot symbol on his butt, any more than Benjamin Franklin's face appeared in my toast this morning.

yeah had me staring at my WFC megatrons ass for about 5 min looking for it.

I love this thread.
And yes, I knew about the Con symbol on his back, man. Wasn't trying to be an ass... 8-}

He has a weird Autobot symbol inbetween his "shoulder blades/wheels"
