I got Target Universe Devastator the other day and transformed him into Devastator immediately. Today, I took him apart and tried out some of his alternate arm/leg configurations. This is a really fun figure and I think I've found the perfect look for him. So yea, that's who got transformed today!

Hmm...I can see this becoming a pretty popular thread...

Guess you can call this transformed. I had to take apart my Universe Ultra Silverblot's right leg because it was assembled backwards. Took like 30 min to get the bolts off and the springs lined up to put back. (:|

Ti 6" Thundercracker and Thrust (both tetrajet versions), Movie Swerve, and a few Legends figures got transformed back and forth as I worked today.

Beast Machines Savage/Noble got some play time today. Encore Metroplex got transformed and boxed up for shipping to his new owner. Encore Omega Supreme didn't sell so he gets put back together into robot mode to take his place next to Fort Max. While running a systems check on my computer RiD Spychanger Ultra Magnus called combined RotF Legends Optimus & Jetfire a "cheating whore!"

My deluxe Animated Optimus and Blackarachia.

my son's ROTF Sideswipe!! awesome figure!!!

Fri Sep 11, 2009 6:53 pm

Transformed my ROTF voyager Starscream to jet today cause he was getting his ass handed to him by Chromia and Arcee.
Thankfully, he's one of the few movie figs that can be transformed in under a half hour and without referring to the instructions!
"Cowardly as ever, Starscream!"

I transformed a few figures to mix up my display today.

I took apart Energon OP from Grand Cross super mode, put away his vehicle drones in his trailer, and transformed OP into alt mode.

Next was Universe Onslaught. Transformed him into bot mode to display for now.

I transformed BB into tank mode and have it beside alt mode Starscream.

I played around a bit with RotF Superion to experiment with some fanmode configurations. Then I took it apart and applied some super glue to the ball joints to tighten things up. Wow, Silverbolt is one ugly bot. I usually have him in combined mode or in alt mode. I really can't wait for the Aerial Team Appendage Kit to arrive.

BB into tank mode?

Yes, please clarify.

Fri Sep 11, 2009 8:36 pm

Well, i transformed quite a lot to set up my display. I transformers my Movie Bonecrusher, ROTF sideways, and ROTF Jolt from vehicle to robot.

News Credits: 104 · Fri Sep 11, 2009 8:44 pm

I transformed the Chevy Swerve and ROTF Sideswipe today.. Think I am going to transform Jolt next.

Yup BB's tank mode is typical G1/G2 kludge(what can you expect, it's a pseudo semi 3rd mode) but I like its look. BB's flying wing alt mode looks cooler but the tank mode is a nice change for display.

To clear up confusion, I'm referring to BB from Beast Wars II.

MP Starscream is a pleasure to transform. Just turned him from alt mode to bot mode. Just last night, a non-TF collecting friend of mine complimented this "F-15 scale model with the 'air-show' colors" in my display cabinet. I'd displayed the Screamer without his stand, and my friend didn't quite notice the Decepticon symbols on his wings, since the figure was at eye-level inside the display.

But that's digressing.

Also transformed ML Soundwave and Soundblaster (I know they're the same character, but I've got both repaints), and had them fight Skids and Mudflap on my display shelf.

That's one of the great things about MP figures and other lines that have great looking alt modes like Alternators/Binaltech and Alternity. They can look like convincing vehicle replicas.

They really are robots in disguise!

Hehe, that's what I thought.

I love BWII BB and Starscream. That's probably the best color scheme for that mold.

I was waiting for friends of mine to come online for a couple of hours of Battlefield 2, so I used that time to transform one of the more challenging Transformers in my collection...

Transformers Armada Minicon, Iceberg. :lol:

Sat Sep 12, 2009 1:50 am

ROTF Mixmaster, and Supreme Devastator.

Sat Sep 12, 2009 2:26 am

Picked up Transformers Animated Ultra Magnus along with Sentinel Prime this evening. Poped them out of there packages and changed my display up a little bit. Gotta say Ultra Magnus is an awsome figure!

Sat Sep 12, 2009 3:08 am

I was playing around with Tigerhawk earlier this morning, now I'm messing around with RID Landfill.

Transformed my Powermaster Prime to truck, my Tank Megatron to tank, my Armada Megatron to tank, my Armada Prime to truck, and my Armada Jetfire to spaceshuttle, which he hasn't seen since I bought him. I bought him and hated the shuttle mode, but now I realize how big and awesome he is. So he is staying that way for a while. I also transformed Black Convoy into truck mode but then I realized how awesome he looks in robot mode next to MP Prime, so he got transformed back right away.
