My condolences, D-Max. I can relate, I got most of my TFs from my grandma when I was young. She actually bought me the original G1 Fort Max in the 90s when it cost a few hundred bucks.

Anyway, I have and like the Ice cream truck twins, even though I hot them from an ex-gf who ended up mistreating me a lot. But for sone reason I won't get rid of it, any time I handle them they just hit me in the feels. 2009 seems so far?away and was such a better time.

Packing up for a move to our first house, and getting some new movie stuff in the process. I'm sad so much is going into stasis for likely 6 months, but it all looks so good

Well have fun packing up that whole collection!

Picked up this guy last week. 4th of the mold for me. I actually enjoy the mold, and this paint scheme rocks. This is such a fantastic look! I love it.

I also just discovered a swivel today between the hood and cab of the truck mode in robot mode, which enables you to rotate the feet to look more natural when you use the calf swivel as a 2nd ankle tilt. It took me 4 molds and 7 years, but I found it!






I'm also still stunned I own this guy. He is literally perfect.



Once you get the upgrade kit, this figure slaps

Which Ironhide is that? It's not the leader.

That's MPM Ironhide. I actually have that upgrade kit on preorder, it says it'll arrive Q2 of 2021. I'm excited to get it!

That Shadow Spark Prime is really cool looking, D-Max! I never got ahold of that mold, but I'd like to at some point.

EMBee is right, that is the MPM!

I decided to pit 2 of my Primes against each other today

I just packed the rest of mine up for my movie, here are some pics of favorites and of some taken to the office before they were put into stasis.

I am so happy I got this release


I might be in the minority, but I really like Que


Angel Prime is still a lovely toy


I'd like them to give us another go at this design, but I do like this toy


So glad I found this guy as I left TFcon. Perfect timing


I would love for them to use this tooling on the SS Ironhide


My 3rd ever TF, I still adore this mold


I like the Evac use of this mold more, it's cute!


I regret passing on the Movie the Best version with the claw gun. I like this mold and this design was killer


So much muscle on this guy


I still think the Wreckers alts are my favorite OG Bayverse design cue


Allspark blue!


SMASH!


I love this goblin. He's the best. Probably my favorite RotF/HftD era con


Dew the Dew


Knight in Darkness






I like this mold, and I feel like I needed to stock up on Shadow Raiders. i needed to go in on some henchmen


One of the dreams come true from SS. Love this guy so so soooooooo much


I still say these molds are actually good. and they are a great pair.


They really improved on this combo, but I cannot wait for the ThreeZero version.


Another dream finally made true


"All of that for a drop of energon..."





The RotF scheme on the dotM toy really speaks to me





I love this 4 armed freak





2 of my favorites right here


And finally, still the best constructicon and maybe the best single con from SS

I finally got my hands on an older movie figure I’ve wanted for years!

Evasion Prime is great! Articulation is good, the sculpting is solid despite not being quite up to Studio Series standards, and the transformation is pretty cool with the upper body. The head sculpt might actually be the best movie Prime head sculpt Hasbro has done, it gets the proportions down great.

The only things I’m not a fan of are pretty minor - one is that it’s not based on the Marmon truck we see in AOE, and the other is the deco. I’m typically not one to complain about paint since I can do to myself, but it does bug me that they went for a G1 look rather than screen accuracy - to the point that they painted the hands and feet blue, when they were already an accurate gray plastic!

On a side note, I stopped by a C-17 at the Air Force museum today that was used in the filming of the first 2 Transformers movies! Had to take advantage of that photo opportunity.




While I don’t have a set plan for customizing this guy yet, I had to do some quick work when I got back for fun:

Very nice! That is a great figure, one of the best from AOE.

I too have an AOE figure that's hanging around. This thing is slick.

got some new knights, and these molds to me are still fun. There is an endgame in sight, can you see it?

I wanted to share some pictures of some figures that don't really get a lot of love, but i still enjoy

Managed to score some old human alliance figures that will end up on a shelf with my MPMs. I am excited to handle these buggers.

I managed to get my hands on some old Human Alliance figures, as well as a Movie the Best repaint of one, and I have been enjoying them. These will all eventually end up on my MP scale shelf I think.

This 3P Hot Rod will also go on that shelf. He is really good, and most importantly, gets his live action physiology right with regards to the door wings, wheels, and chest.

I have that Soundwave, he looks good with MPMs.

I'm hoping so, he is really sharp. Only sad part is, I do not like the legs at all, not very well balanced

Yeah, that's his major downside, he has very skinny.

Found some long sought-after movie figures at a flea market today!


Also found this guy for real cheap, it’s neat and enormous!

Nice! Both ultimate Bee and cannon Bee are on my eventual to get to list

While I was home I grabbed a bunch of pictures of my movie bots. Let’s start with Evac!

I love this toy, he has such a special place in my collection

I feel so blessed to have finally gotten this dude. It's a real one. I have ordered the toyhax stickers for him, and i also bought the Armor Topspin and Track Battle Roadbuster as well as their toyhax conversion stickers, so now I have every Wrecker mold made, and I have all the different paint jobs outside the variants. I'm very happy. I wish armored Nascars like this had become more of a thing

Nice find!

Who is ready to Wreck and Rule some more?

I got Twintwist AKA Armor Topspin last thursday, during the Daytona duels no less. and then Impactor AKA track battle Roadbuster arrived this wednesday. Both are pretty neat, and right now I have a full Wreckers trio. I have stickers for all 3 on the way, Twintwist and Impactor will get proper conversions to Stewart-Haas cars, and leadfoot his proper decals. Can't wait to unpack and get the rest of the Wreckers out here with them
