You and your Megatron/Grimlock fights

That is a serious looking bot. I agree, he works with the Cross Dimension!

Yeah he's a nice figure, I'd argue he's a better figure than MP Grimmy personally.

Enjoying this guy a lot more than I thought I would.

Me Grimlock! Me King! Me have big guns!

Quick update.

I have caught up with Fansproject Dinos, unfortunately Columpio came without a rifle. Would any one here be willing to part with theirs? I can pay cash or I am also willing the trade for his replacement hips as I do not use them.

All the FansProject dinos?! Pictures man, PICTURES!!

Yeah, all of them except Snarl who's yet to be released. I'll try and get some photos up tomorrow, but I've a busy weekend as I've got my first 501st troop on Saturday.

Really, they haven't released Snarl yet? Weird..

Also, good luck with the 501st! Is it a party or a parade or volunteering somewhere?

No they seem to be releasing an all new fembot veloceraptor first, looks pretty good.



Thanks for wishing me luck. It's my induction troop so it's at a ComiCon event, should be a blast! I'll post some pics afterwards.

Here you go itscramtastic, got a few quick shots in.

Really like these guys, the perfect updated Dinobot look IMO, I'll focus on each figure individually when I have a bit more time. Plus I need to swap out Swoops chest for the blue one.

Huzzah!! They really look great!!

Also, Swoop came with the alternate chest piece too?! That's great!! Blue would be my preferred as well.

New chest piece installed:

Much better IMO.

I agree, that looks awesome!! Did you end up with the EX version of the Grimlock or not? I can't tell/remember..

The one with the throne, crown and extra battle buddy? Yes I did, very much worth the extra £20.

Excellent

I remember seeing the throne but wasn't 100% sure that didn't just come with all of the Grimlock versions.

In other news me and my TK bretheren encounter the Rebel scum Kyle Katarn!

Which one is you?!

That dang Kyle Katarn, thinks he can be part of the New Jedi Order and then leave and then interfere with things.

Also, the Swoop shots look great!!

. I'm the one in the middle taking aim. That guy made a great Katarn, very accurate costume.

Sadly we lost a man

Swoops a great figure, very underated IMO.

This figure was one of the reasons Transformers grabbed my attention following my break from collecting, being a Britformer Deaths Head was a huge part of the reason I continued to read the comics, he was a dark and unpredictable character who never failed to impress or surprise.

Seeing that this had been made by MMC I was immediately interested due to their reputation, however was worried by pretty much every video revew I saw (especially Bobby Skullface's) so I decided to pass on him until he was either re-released or went on clearance. Fortunatly I was able to find him going cheap(ish) from a private seller and decided to bite!

As luck would have it I seem to have found a good one, weapons all tab in where they should without any modding and with a bit of patience everything tabs together well in alt mode. That's not to say he's without his problems though, he has a few stress marks around his tabbing areas, his head comes off too easily and there are some odd design choces, like how he can't hold his shield in bot mode and those wierd wing spikes on his forearms that would have been better attached to the alt mode wing assembly. I also wish there was a way to store all of his weapons in alt mode and if I'm being super picky I would have prefered Lockdowns translucent canopy rather than the painted yellow one Deaths Head comes with.

Despite the flaws I am happy with him, but only because a) I got a good one and b) I got a good deal on him. I don't think I'd be quite so positive if I'd have spent £120 on eBay and have a wing snap off on the first transformation, eh?

That is a seriously good looking figure!! He photographs well, very dynamic! I don't think I ever read any of the Death's Head storylines, there's a chance I have them in some of my IDW "Best of U.K." collections. I'll have to take a look!

He's bound to feature in at least one of those, Fallen Angel and Legacy of Unicron were his best IMO. He's great in bot mode it's just the transformation is more difficult than it should be. Still a good figure though.
