Did you do that stop motion yourself?

I did.

[-Kanrabat-]

Not sure if this counts...but my haul was Headmaster, Victory, Masterforce DVD sets and TF Prime game for WiiU.
Energon Meg's arrived yesterday and he is awesome, kind small for a leader in bot mode. Can't help but think he suffers from Napolean syndrome and it makes me laugh when I twist the canon and hear "Decepticons, Attack!" In his voice.

Armada Megs you mean. He's the only one that say that and he's not a Leader, he'S an Ultra class.

Armada:



Energon is a leader and he's quite big:

I did.

That is absolutely bad ass. How long did that take you? How many photos is it in total? What type of camera do you have? Did you use PhotoShop? GIMP?

That explains a lot ...so I got that one and the other is on the way!

You will not regret it. Both are awesome Megatrons.

I finally found an MP10 matrix for my Magnus, and Lena comes though with a Cloud Hellwarp!

How is that Sky-Byte mold? I'm wasn't a fan of it when I first saw it, but I'm considering getting one after seeing him in IDW.

It has it's limitations. If you're a fan of sharks, or the character then I'd recommend him. I feel he gets a bad wrap from the fandom though. I'll break down my views:

Negatives:
-I don't like his one hand (hollow & gorilla arm'd).
-His legs could use some more beef.

Positives:
-His winged silhouette is quite imposing.
-His fin hand has posable claws (which always bugged me about the original BW mold)
-Shark head chest isn't a transformation cheat whereas the OG was.
-And his big flat feet give him some surprising stability (he's great for posing).

I'm a Sky-Byte fan and love R.I.D. but that mould is complete crap. It is so terrible that I'm never putting on my shelves. If you can find it cheap, then get it, otherwise hold off.

You would be surprized how amazing that mold becomes with the right Takara deco.

No I wouldn't. The paint has nothing to do with my hatred of it. If anything, that's all I like about it.

Finally messed around with Roadbuster. He is okay, but nothing spectacular.

Also found out that Amazon makes the USPS its bitch. Bought generations Crosscut (wanted skids, but he was 3 times the price) for 12 bucks off amazon, with free 2 day shipping. That was on Friday. Yesterday, Sunday, the post man showed up at my door with my Amazon package.

Yes, Generations Brainstorm has finally arrived to Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!








Of course, he arrived by mail from a friend in the states who found him at TJ MAXX, but thats just details. Thanks Friend!

Very correct you are! Energon Meg's came in today! Along with Beastformers Tiger, Panda, & Cat Starter Pk.

[Cobotron]

Boy WilliamJames, you sure have some nice American friends.

It's funny, I got a fun little haul from one of my Canadian friends.


Even funnier is the fact that Gears came from Winners (owned by TJ Maxx). Gears never showed up here in my part of the states.
But my friend is much nicer than yours WJ, because he threw in some fun little extras. The green Magnus is a knock off of the Kabaya gum toys. And I'm still waiting for an explanation on how Optimus Minor got in there. When I opened the box, he jumped out and punched me right in the neck.

[shajaki]

I thought I was seeing things... lime green Magnus?

I'm SO happy you got a Minor munky BTW!

Your picture put the nail in the coffin. Just ordered brainstorm off amazon. I'm kinda disappointed that he doesn't come with a briefcase.....

I got a Voyager Motormaster today.

Oh, com'on he'll out shine almost anything on your generations shelf. Be honest.

Ironhideish, thanks! That means a lot especially with all the other stuff out there, like this:



There was also a really cool stop motion Brainstorm GIF. If anyone knows where it is, please post it.

And yeah, Skywarpt, totally! But I feel the same way about Jetfire's robot mode, hence why I posed them together.

I will say this about Brainstorm, he may be a bit hallowed out, but unlike Jetfire, the designers have designed the inside of the hallow parts to have all this awesome sculpted circuitry that seems to double as a circulatory system.

She'll look better when I paint her. Sadly neither the chestplate or Helmet, which can be taken off the head, can fit into vehicle mode. The chestplate is no surprise since the creator outright said it had to be removed for vehicle mode. The helmet is more disappointing, especially with the slider to raise the head up which i think was made to accommodate for the head
