BZ and G1 Fortmax are pretty MASSIVE in their vehicle mode.

Wait... Fortmax's vehicle modevis just the bot sleeping, about to wake up with a morning wood.

This is new to you? How long have you been a fan and how long have you owned that Maximus figure?

I knew about that "vehicle mode" since ever, but I never bothered transforming him in this mode. But since BZ is in his "vehicle mode", Fortmax had to follow suit.
And dang, does it takes a LOT of room.

That's why mine are in City Mode, indefinitely.

Yeah, G1 Fortmax in city mode is a nice, compact block.

I'm still saddened by the fact that the TR version can't pull it off.

I have no affinity to G1 Fort Max. So it's not something I notice.

TR Fortmax is just Gen Metroplex pretending to be Fortmax. And it shows.

Gonna share this here since most of the crew are Selects releases, but the Diaclone crew has come together super nicely. It also made me realize I will need Legacy Crosscut now, since the T30 one is on the Lost Light shelf and will stay there, as that shelf is priority.

I'm also thinking about moving the Buzzworthy Bee that uses Cliff's alt mode up to here, that sort of feels right given it's more a yellow Cliff than a Bee.

Why's Hauler there?

i am using him as a pre-Transformers Grapple essentially. I like him being up there with the Diaclone guys.

And there we go! With my second Guardian Robot, my space city is now finally complete!

Yep that is what I wanted; 2 to flank my Omega. That photo is selling me. Looks cool.

Also, discovered by accident, you can orient the "main building" of the base mode either way. I wonder if I can do the same for the arms for bot mode?

Yeah, the one on the the right has the rocket placed in the opposite side of the launch gantry.

If you could do it in bot mode, the elbows would bend the wrong way I'm pretty sure. Sometimes I turn that part backwards on mine when I have the rocket in its "base" mode separate from the main setup.

Oh right. That's true.

With the real (supposedly) Miner Megatron revealed, I'd like to make sure this one isn't lost to history. Anyone know where I can find the other pics though?

Edit: so according to Tformers.com, the second version we've seen on TFW is a custom?

"custom?"



I looked up Miner Megatron to see images, and I had a realization: the back kibble is just like the Seige figure, the only major difference being it is mounted higher. This must be one of the longest coming pre-tools I've ever seen.

I was told we're also getting a purple comic version of Soundwave? If that's true, I hope it's the Netflix mold and it's about damn time.

As unnrcessary as that is, I'd be all over that like a cheap suit. A perverse part of me would want the one with the face and not the mask just to shake things up.

Broken pic. All images from that site go down after only two hours.

"That" site? Has it been a few hours?
What site am I supposedly taking an image from and why is it's image broken?

Did you not mean to post that image link?

Was your post supposed to contain something else?

That was the intended image, yes. Is there something about that website I do not know? It's one of the editing websites I use on occasion.

As a fan of the G1 comics, it's absolutely necessary for me. I know the majority of the fandom worships the toys and cartoon accuracy, but to me Soundwave has always been purple, regardless of IDW's attempt at revisionism. The comics were my 1st interaction with Transformers, so to me the blue version was a bit odd at 1st, then I got used to it.

As for the mouth, I can take it or leave it, but I would prefer it just for its ridiculousness. At least give us a removable face plate.

I'm not familiar with that website, but Sarblade pointed out that they go down after 2 hours. Meaning we cannot see your image anymore.

The point being the image is not visible to us so we have no idea what you tried to post.
