She's aight and a better use of the mold. I love the deco and feminine retooling. Mine has some serious tabbing issues. The flaps that hold the knee tight pop out any time I move the legs but can be worked with.

Alt mode is a mess of poorly tabbing parts, but with enough massaging she can swoosh through the air just fine. Even though the stickers are a little poorly applied and seem to have already been peeling out the box I really like the look of them (unlike Starscream).

Torso mode is solid and awesome and I got her to fill out my lady bots and to eventually have a lady 'biner... labiner?

^ As a character, I can't stand Quickstrike. The worst character in Beast Wars. His toy though, is pretty cool. Oddly, one of the most show accurate too. Most of the Fuzors are. It is a shame only two of the most normal designs made it into the show.

They were stuck in these poses for weeks...
And my MPs have been taking a break in the cabinet & drawers for the last couple of months so I could really experience Siege.

Gah! The rare double post!

Also, no pic as I just had to move him off my desk. Recently got Titans Return Fort Max only opened to look at the figure in the box for pretty darn cheap.

:-$

He's an excuse to figure out how to store and display the big boys, since hubby's buying me Omega Supreme for being 20+ft up on scaffolding changing the siding on the house. :-$

I like her too. My only issue is that she's colored a bit too much like Ramjet instead of having her proper main pink.
My Elita tabs together much better than my Starscream did at first. You know the pegs on his leg panels that plug into the sides of his knees in robot mode? On mine, they were too long out of the box and prevented his legs from closing properly in jet mode. I had to trim and file them down. They still work, and now they don't get in the way.

I would say probably best to display him in robot mode because of the smaller footprint that way; that's how mine is currently displayed. Alternatively, you could display him in city mode and display other figures on and around him. Omega Supreme would probably be the same way.
For storage, either leave on display, or pack back in the box so that you can stack stuff on him.

I was thinking of that. The main issues is right now "my Transformer/recording/Gal Cave" is being used as an indoor lumber yard right now during remodeling. Half of my collection is still with my parents, a quarter is still in moving boxes, and the other quarter is crammed about 5-6 figures deep on one shelf. My display cabinet is in two pieces, so I don't really know how much space will be left when it and everything else is installed.

The good news is out of my decent G1 selection only Red Alert can be claimed as a casualty of the move; he was in a moving box and then he wasn't. :BANG_HEAD:

Hubby's been teasing me that he's off patrolling for Decepticon activity...

Thanks! SS38? I like him! He's the Bayverse Prime that should have been from the beginning. He's a little weird to pose because his panels tend to shift or untab when you move his limbs. But easily my favourite movie toy. Too bad that they used the truck model from AoE instead of Bumblebee, but oh well.

This crotchety bastard is living on my desk and insisting that older games are better.

I'm in the middle of a rearrange and he's homeless at the moment. Also was unboxing the PSC that I got yesterday on the cheap. It's aight :roll:

Loving the guy. Yes, would have preferred Garry Chalk voice clips, but for $38 shipped. Not complaining.

These two.

More permanently, Jetpower Optimus Prime:

I switched out the Optimus on my desk since, voyager class is just a smidge too big to be in front of my second monitor.

Also, good news everyone! I found my G1 Red Alert!

Turns out he was hiding in the bottom of another box of Transformers :BANG_HEAD:

. I've been turning the house upside down looking for my little flea market find.

At least you finally found him.

Mine is sitting on my G1 Ultra Magnus' trailer

Thanks!

The only Transformers I have that have trailers are G1 Optimus and Rodimus. Their trailers aren't very conducive to storage.

Ah yes, my lady bot collection is coming along quite nicely. Greenlight's deco is quite lovely and probably my fav of that mold. I do wish she came with a gun of some sort. Dazzle is just a little unwieldy.

I pulled Arcee and Windblade from other displays for this pic.

This display is just over my desk, that counts right?

I say that it being over the desk counts, considering I've had "desks" that were tables put up against my desk to extend the surface area.

The Lionizer mold can be configured as a gun. It doesn't lock into that position, but still.

Currently visiting my desk:
