Very lucky, that deluxe wave never made it to stores in Canada

Appart the specialised independent shops for some reasons.

If anyone wants, I can get you one at cost plus shipping. There's no shortage of them.

I guess he meant in brick and mortar stores. So far, there's no shortage of them online, like Amazon.ca.

… is the word?

Looks really nice.

Are’t the bird claws supposed to be rotated back as heels?

The claws look cool too though.

They are, but I prefer this style of feet

They got away with so many jokes and innuendo in that cartoon, and they still took shots at the censors.

Freakazoid did that a lot too.

Love 2007 Cliffjumper. I really like that you kept the blue highlights, even if they aren't "allspark blue". Using the same blue for the eyes and the highlights is a great idea though, gets the same point across. Man, Reign of Starscream is one of my favourite Transformers comics, this brings back so many memories... You did a great job here. Any chance you'll do an Evac from Blackout? If you do, please post it, I'd love to see it. Now my brain is just flooding with those 2007 repaints.

Thank you! Evac from Blackout would be really cool (I wanted to get Evac back in the day but never found him), I'd need to find an extra Blackout/Grindor but that sounds like a lot of fun!

Man, I'd love to try a repaint sometime. Just gotta have some free time. If only people would quit getting sick so I wouldn't have to work 50 hours a week...:-/

The bot look pretty damn nice and the details pop.

But the car mode shouldn't have been painted by hand. The thick paint make it look like the car was parked under one of those infamous magnifying glass sky scrapper from the UK.

To avoid that, airbrushing is a must, with many thin layers. If you don't have an airbrushing kit, a basic set with a compressor can be had for around 100$ at Amazon.

Thanks! You’re right about alt mode, and it’s compounded by the fact that this SS-49 started off as a Guinea pig for the yellow spray paint I went on to use on DOTM Bee, and the spray paint went on super thick and uneven. I probably should’ve scrubbed the yellow paint off, but I was worried about how the oven cleaner would interact with the clear plastic. I would definitely do things differently if I was to start again, but I’ll chalk it up to a learning experience! Still overall happy with how it turned out.

Well, I'm a total noob with airbrushing so I'll need a lot of practice. In winter it's hard because doing it inside makes quite the mess.

Still, I bet my lazy-ass will keep using these for a while:



Hint: it suck-ass on small things with small parts.

So.... we know there is a DOTM Hatchet and Earth mode (maybe SS86 maybe not??) Hound coming eventually in the Buzzworthy line. Their numbers haven't been revealed yet.

Other than that, It appears the gaps we have so far are just SS86-18 & 102-104 ?

Does that sound right?

We don't know for sure that they are coming, just that product codes and renders exist. They haven't been able to order by retailers, nor evidence that they have been produced yet.

I really love that they gave Arcee the optional wheel legs, I love her like this

SS-94 is also unaccounted for right now, it was thought that might be Hatchet but we don't know for sure.

[blackeyedprime]

Is there a third studio series thread for the gaming line up XD

and did Barricade really look that bad in vehicle mode eeeewwwww,

kinda reminds me of the RID2015 combiners vehicles that went onto cyclonus or something. Bot mode looks really nice tho.

Also for the numbers focused, these have their own numbering 01,02,03 etc.

If they revisit some of the Baynus game characters I might be interested down the line.

[Whifflefire]

The WFC toys look really good, very excited to see the possibilities about bringing more of those designs into toy form!

[First-Aid]

I want to see that WFC Optimus Prime in the Premium line. That thing is fantastic!
