Almost makes me wish they’d re-issue or maybe reuse some of the Titan’s Return leaders.... maybe spice up their articulation a little

I may have a problem

I was thinking of setting mine up the the backyard as well, though we have a nice fake-grass patio. I have no problem with concrete, but I'd probably put some sort of padding underneath, blankets etc....but my son is pretty insistent on building it in the middle of the living room. Our main room is kind of narrow and long. may have to move a couch out of the way, and it certainly couldn't stay there for any length of time after photos are taken.

Might have gotten a couple of scuffs on feet. But no biggie

I give you: the fan vote showdown we will probably never actually see in media

First off, great pics.

Second off, kick his butt to the Allspark, Mirage!

Thanks!

And I was actually rooting for Impactor

How dare you go against me sir in the toys fighting. This is my shocked face.

I give unto you, THE FIRESTORMERS
-Sideswipe
-Trenchfoot
-Cromar

A mercenary combat team who is not afraid to measure victory by the amount of Ammo spent, with a dedication to victory that would make even Slag pause.

Still to add: the Bandolier, guns, and spiky shoulder wheels courtesy of Nonnef.

I gotta tell you, I am giddy over these three and how well they look together. I have not been a fan of the Weaponizers as accessories but this has a huge, stupid, smile on my face

Booo! Was hoping to get to experience the Mirage and Impactor molds today via the Amazon 3 pack, but then I got the dreaded...


Hopefully I'll get to crack into them this weekend.

Speaking of the Mirage mold and speculation of what they might do with it beyond the clear version, what about this using the Amazon "sphinx" head and a new name?

Ooo, I'd be down for a red repaint of Mirage. And as for names, I think it could be a G1 Side Burn. The alt mode doesn't really scream Side Burn, but the color placement kind of reminds me of his super version and I don't see why not since we've never had a G1 version of Side Burn before. Alternatively he could be called Buddy because of the "elf" on his chest

I've seen other fans headcanon the red Mirage as a fembot chemist named Formula.

Also, we so have had a G1 version of RiD Side Burn before:

Oh, I just did a quick search through TFWiki and saw that that version was counted as RID Side Burn. Fair enough though . Hadn't heard of it before now, but I actually love the name Formula for that design

Yeah, at some point, the Wiki decided to fold all of the G1 versions of any RiD 2001 characters onto the RiD 2001 versions' pages since the differences between them became increasingly negligible over time (and since the Japanese version, Car Robots, is part of G1, outright).

As for the Formula thing, I think I heard people come up with it on another board.

I just had to check that, and yup. Same goes for Sky-Byte, his G2 and RiD articles got merged apparently for organizational purposes. Just... Car Robots is G1, yeah, but things unique to the RiD dub and connected media are not. Ugh.

You could also have red Mirage be a G1 Dino if it wasn't for Ferrari unlikely wanting the name to be used there.

Autobot Dinobot? Autobot Dinoracer?

Hmmmmmm

Oh I think I got a clever one now thank you.

Dinoclone, you know like the repaint's origins in Diaclone combined with the Dino name

This page probably explains it well enough.

You know I’ve gotta say Overlord is like one of the few bots from the last trilogy that can stand with my Siege bots. It’s all that articulation in the ankles and the detail on him and that rad head. The other leaders just don’t work.

Oh and I think Optimus is the tallest Voyager. So largest armorless leader too. Just straight head to toe not like ‘Scream’s nacelles or Meg’s backpack parts. Fitting, and I’m curious if Earthrise Prime will be a smidge taller or the same.

As an aircraft enthusiast, I feel obligated to note that those aren’t nacelles beside of seeker heads, but intake cowls - at least when the seekers don’t transform into tetrajets.
