Noisemaze Production Type

Sonic Convoy that my wife bought me for Christmas

Fort Max that I bought at Botcon 07. First thing that I bought in the dealer room, and I was bound and determined to get one there.

Botcon Ratchet

Botcon Thundercracker (I have the whole set, but I planned my trip to Botcon around getting him)

Not a Transformer but my Soul of Chogokin God Mars that my wife bought me for my birthday.

Hmmm Fort Max =P~

Now what you need is a Grand Max.

I've never been a big fan of any of the Maximus figures. They're cool but I never had any desire and thought "I must have that for my collection. However, if there was a toy that had an alt mode of a Cybertronian prison facility and was called "SuperMax", I'd buy it.

That got me thinking about that Starscream's Brigade G1 episode in Season 2 with the Combaticons. Apparently Decepticons don't have jails, they just keep their minds on Energon Cubes look-a-likes and destroy their bodies. Not a bad idea, no prison escape or riots.

They were imprisoned the same way in the Dreamwave comics and in IDW, psycho Arcee was held that way by Fort Max. It seems to be the standard longterm imprisoning method for G1.

Ah, forgot about that one. Spotlight: Arcee, I never did get the whole story about that one, why was Arcee protrayed as a psycho-killer.

Cuz women are crazy. So the only female must be batshit insane.

My logic is undeniable.

Right, but do they have to go to the extreme and make her foam at the mouth?

She literally foamed at the mouth? I haven't read Spotlight: Arcee yet.

Wow...that's odd. I must read that comic now!

Actually, now that I've finally received some Alternators, I'd say my collection's pride and joy are definitely my Alts and Alternity figures along with RotF Leader OP. They all look so great in alt and bot modes.

but after paying $100 he became my favorite transformer

I don't know what impresses me more in that pic. The ROTF Soundwave on the wall or the pile of unopened toys on that couch.

I do love my Shattered Glass Starscream. A) because he's so frickin' cool, and B) because I missed that Botcon so I had to put on a serious *hunt* to get him. The lioness stalks her prey....

Hugest has to be Cybertron Starscream--he's like 15 inches or so?

And for some reason that completely eludes me, I have three (count 'em, three) Armada Starscreams. I guess I just love that mold. And how you can poke his tummy and he makes noise. (giggle).

HK, anyone notice a *theme*, there?

Why is it when HK posts about Starscream that I can't help but see inappropriate things in her writing? :lol:

Are those Diaclone Reflector?

by **TylerDante69** » Sat Sep 19, 2009 6:10 pm

I'm not sure.

But I know it's not the Original Reflector Mail In from Hasbro.

I got it on ebay for a cheap price, can't pay the full price for the real Reflector.

But for a knock off, it looks pretty good with the original decepticons

:wink:

I see

I'm still hating myself for passing up a G1 complete Reflector that even came with the original box it shipped with.

I finally put the labels on my reissue Star Convoy. It and the Micromaster Hot Rod it comes with are some of my favorite Transformers. Plus, I'm something of a Roller nut and I love the flat wide one SC comes with. Between that and the G3 Roller, I'm in blue go kart heaven this year!

I wish I had shelves!. My collection is mainly in storage but the figures on display are delegated to my computer desk and the tops of my dressers.

My new collection pride is gonna be the SG TFs and the repurposed SG TFs that I'm slowly putting together.

News Credits: 2 · by **Convotron** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 2:49 am

I'd love to get some of the SG figures but alas, the money isn't there for such a quest.

How far along are you on your SG hunt?

Currently getting some TFs that are repurposed to SG series that I don't alrdy have. In the process of getting the official Botcon 2008 SG stuffs that's not part of the set. Basically a long and expensive road to go.
