IMO, it's a little depressing for me to look at 2007 Movie Leader Prime after having ROTF Leader Prime.

07 Brawl and my new RotF reissue of Bruticus Maximus.
I got Brawl holding up Bruticus (Minus the Brawl leg) by the "neck" with their guns aimed at each others heads. It's kinda who's the big boy now.

Well, from Sunday...

ROTF Long Haul -- I transformed him into his dump truck mode on Aug. 22 and have been wanting to transform him back for awhile. Of course, after transforming him, I discovered that the joint (just above the pistons) that swivels his left arm side-to-side, seems to be very loose... or at the very least, I can swivel his left arm with my pinky... not sure if it was like that out of the package, since all I did was take him out, stand him up, then transformed him the next day. At least the hips and backpack stay in place, if I pick him up to display him in multiple areas of the room.

I also, finally, opened my Road Wrecker Mini-Con team, Buzzsaw, Dualor and Drill Bit, to fiddle with during the Bears-Packers game.

Hehe, well, actually, I think there's a charm to 07 Leader OP. Yeah it's not screen accurate and beside its newer incarnation, it looks fairly primitive but it gives me more appreciation to the design revamp for RotF Leader OP.

I bought my 07 Leader OP for $20, thinking it would be a good figure to display in alt mode and my original intent was to swap its hands for RotF Leader OP's hands, which I still intend to do. But I like it displayed in bot mode. I'm a fan of OP so I gots to show some love to 07.

That'a pretty good deal, but the transformation is too complicated for my taste that I perfer to not mess with its robot mode :lol:

Hehe, well it looks great in alt mode in my opinion so it's fine to leave it as a truck.

Amen to that. The mold, the deco, the transformation, hidden weapons, even his accessory, are really well done, and very show-accurate (although that's pretty normal for Animated). I can't wait for Rodimus and Arcee in the final wave.

Yesterday was a G1 sort of day...

G1 Perceptor (actually transformed him into his mobile lab thing, for the first time ever)
G1 Sixshot (Only between his Robot and Wolf modes, though.)

I played around a little with the Air Defense Team this morning. I love the simplicity and fun factor of Mini-Cons.

Yeah, I can see how people can addicted to collecting Mini-Cons.

When you say mobile lab, do you mean the microscope, or the artillery cannon mode?

G1 Perceptor is one of my favorites. In fact I have two, one for display only, and another that's been transformed and played with.

I don't know what it was. I've had Perceptor since he came out (he's the second Transformer that I received many, many, many years ago) and never knew he even had a third mode. Heck, I never knew he had extensions that come out of his feet. I was looking at an instruction sheet online and saw the extra instructions. On the sheet, it was called a "Mobile Lab" but to be honest, it didn't look like anything to me. So I put him back into his Microscope mode, then transformed him back into his robot mode to stand next to my Godzilla (Well, one of my Godzilla figures).

I'm currently trying to decide if I want to transform Sixshot into his jet mode, before heading off to bed, or leave him in robot mode tonight. Decisions, decisions.

Transformed Stratosphere into alt mode then back to bot again. Boy, I love this figure!

Classics Rodimus got some maintenance today so he was transformed out of alt into bot. His hips and right elbow were loose out of the package so I finally tightened them up. He'll be ready for the Protector add on.

I'm still debating whether or not to buy Stratosphere with the WM sale. :-?
