I'm running out of real winter sports by now. However, you know what should be considered a winter sport? EVERYTHING INVOLVING CHRISTMAS! Not only are there things I am going to be doing, there's so much I WANT to do! Festivals, sales, shopping, checking out lights, building snow people, summon Cthulhu, taking pictures, bake cookies, watch holiday movies! That's a lot for one person to do! In the end you feel like you've run a marathon, but it's all worth it, and it's all fun!

And my final photo of week 1: The Annual cybertron dog sled race!

...and just like that, we've moved on to Week 2 of the 2017 Transformersmas Holiday Photography challenge! Last week we covered winter sports, and we got a ton of great submissions (find our favorites down below!), but now it’s time to switch focus to this week's theme!

Holiday Movies!!

Everybody has a favorite holiday movie that they watch religiously every year, whether it's old standards like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or Miracle on 34th Street, or modern favorites like Elf or Polar Express, or the hilariously ironic and original Die Hard or Batman Returns. Pick Seven iconic scenes from your favorite Holiday films and recreate them with your Transformers! Let your TFs have the starring role, and share the results in the Energon Pub Forums below! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

And now, without further ado, here's our favorite photo submissions from the past week.

Marley was dead, to begin with. Scrooge and he were partners, and Scrooge was his sole executor, his sole administrator, his sole friend, and sole mourner. And even Scrooge was not so dreadfully cut up by the sad event.

But he was a tight-fisted hand to the grindstone, Scrooge! A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner!

External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no winter weather chill him. No wind was more bitter, no falling snow more intent upon its purpose, He would rather have Bob Cratchit freeze to death than waste the coal for warmth!

Also he was Starscream.

That was seriously incredible. Very good job.

La Guerre Des Tuques
If you are not Canadian, you may not be familiar with this Holiday classic from Quebec, circa 1984.

You don't need much French to understand the gist of this original movie trailer:



So, here's my picture of the week (so far), the romantic nightly encounter of Luc and Sophie: (Link in French. Hidden as to avoid possible spoilers)


By the way, the movie was remade in a CGI animated movie, released internationally. Here's the English trailer:

Despite the horrible trailer, I can guarantee that the 1984 original is a great film. If you can find some subs, give it a go.

Ah, I remember this film! Every winter after watching it I wanted to try and make an epic snow fort like that!

By the Pit, it's cold out here...where did Chromedome and Rewind go?


Maybe if I get a higher vantage point...


HOLY SCRAP


...well.

Hey Prime! Come look what I found!

"Heard someone has stopped believing in Unicron. You better climb aboard."

[Sigma Magnus]

Where is MY stocking?!

[kurthy]

Fish hooks?!

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Missed yesterday due to preparing for and GM'ing my first Pathfinder game last night. So I'm doing them both!

Day 9
To say that Scrooge was not startled by the incident at his front door would be untrue. Taking a candle, Scrooge checked the many rooms of his home before setting himself in front of his fireplace to eat a warm meal before bed. However, his evening would be interrupted by the ghastly image that now appeared before him.

Day 10

To Scrooges surprise, and relief, once the church bells outside began ringing, there was nothing. He sighed triumphantly before the bell struck the hour, which is did now, with a deep, dull, hollow BONG. Light flashed up in this instant, and the curtains of his bed were drawn aside.

[Bronzewolf]

I love that more than you know, Fires.

Day 10! Kickback on the Hearth!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

"Heard someone has stopped believing in Unicron. You better climb aboard."

FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE ALERT RIGHT HERE

Day 11! Uh... I may have gone a bit overboard with this. It's my favorite part in the story so I wanted to cram a lot in there!

Awaking in the middle of the night, Scrooge felt that he was restored to consciousness in the right nick of time for the purpose of holding conference with the second spirit dispatched by Jacob Marley's intervention. Laying low in his bed, he established a sharp look-out, for he wished to challenge the spirit on the moment of it's appearance, and did not want to be taken by surprise, and made nervous.

I don't have a favorite Christmas movie, so I asked my brother for his. I don't think this really counts as a Christmas movie, but the movie starts around Christmas time, so...


Okay, you Minis, ready to sing your song?
I'll say we are.
Yeah!
Let's sing it now!


Okay, Divebomb?
Okay!
Okay, Bumblebee?
Okay!
Okay, Rewind? ...Rewind?


This kicks a treadmill's butt-
REEEEEWIIIIIND!


OKAY.

...I have no all the regrets.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Well, sorry for these insanely large picture dumps. This one was actually a few pictures larger, I had to condense it.

Alright, 5 minutes late, but here it is. Day 12!

Lifting his eyes, Scrooge beheld a solemn Phantom, coming like a mist along the ground towards him. Slowly, gravely, silently it approached. The gloom concealed its form, and it was difficult to detach its figure from the night and darkness that surrounded it.

[Bronzewolf]

I missed a day! On my own challenge! Here's day 11:
"There it is, the Griswold family Christmas Tree."
