Man, I'd love to see Hasbro do this as a counterpart to Soundwave/Soundblaster...

That boxart is awesome. He looks like he's deciding a gladiator's fate with his thumb, deciding whether or not to sic his lion on him.

A US reissue of this guy would be great, I got mine from a collectors shop and his doors glued shut. He only cost $30 though and came complete.

Woo hoo! I'm gaining on my goal for the galleries.
There should be 1,192 galleries posted on the website to be current with "one per day since January 4th, 2004".
You need to complete 66 more galleries to reach your goal.

Love the galleries. Thanks!
Quick tip: your galleries are appearing to have a really pink cast, probably from your new camera. I would suggest playing with your camera or using photoshop to take out some of the red. You can do taht in bulk really easily. You probably knew that but didn't have the time.
Great stuff though!

The gallery is of high quality, particularly when one considers the limited range of articulation present with many G1 figures, although Blaster is amongst the better G1 TFs in that respect.

There are also some other cassette combiners. The Decepticons get
Beastbox and
Squaktalk who combine to form
SquakeboxNow, there are two other cassette combiners (four seperate cassettes) that are exclusive to Japan and are
uber rare:
C123 DairuC124 ZauruThey merge to make
Legout.
C121-GurafiC122-NoizuThese two combine to make Decdible. I couldn't find a decent pic of him. But you can see the picture of him on the back of the package.

There's a few different things that I'm doing that could be causing the "red tint" that you're seeing. The combination of the new camera, a new camera filter I'm using and the fact that I'm using my laptop instead of my desktop to process the images. I've been trying to overcome a lot of the difficulties I've been having and I thought I was doing a pretty good job. I was wondering if you might be able to post a few of the pictures that you noticed this with. They might be pictures that I'm aware have a problem or they might not be. It would help though if you guys could post a few of the pictures that you think have this "red tint". I don't seem to be noticing it for some reason. If anything, there should be a slight blue tint because of the lighting setting that I use on my camera. Thanks in advance!

The following image has the "slightest" pinkish grey tint to it, most noticeably on the right hand side. It has something to do with the figure being yellow I believe. Perhaps it has something to do with something reflecting on the background?

I think it's just the clear plastic case (on Steeljaw) messing with the camera lense.
It almost seems like it is acting as a filtering prism.

I did not give him the info on those because he specifically asked about Slamdance and I did not want to confuse the issue.
Great galleries as always Ryan!

Yeah, I think your background is laminated isn't it? Maybe it's something in the background. I've also had a problem before when I used tungsten lighting setting in the day time and it caused a blueish tinting because some sunlight was getting into the picture. I'm not sure if that's what's happening to you.

I also thought the tint may have been a slight trick of the light with the lens.

Here is my fix. It should look a little closer to your Blaster original color. But you can see what I mean by the red tint at least. I should say I am not a photoshop expert. I should say I absolutely love these galleries and really appreciate it and am in no way trying to be a caddy unpleasable fanboy.

Something I was curious about is this: did the original Blaster toy's chest compartment open up? When he showed up on my TF checklists he didn't have his cassettes yet, but on the third list he had them. Did his chest always open, or would it bychance have been modified later?
The reason I'm asking is because I didn't know anyone who had him.
