    Still the best base picture I've seen. That thing is a city, an actual, legit city. I can't see how anyone could top this.

    I think connecting bases via ramps is wrong now. Tikgnat didnt use ramps and his city looks way more cohesive as a result. Just gotta find creative ways to place everything

    Well it's a matter of perspective. I prefer actually having fun with the city rather than just displaying it there, though I assume that's what people usually want. Function over form.

    Ya, North/South traffic is easy in Tikgnat's city, but don't try to go East or West! This is where the Decepticon air superiority is a big advantage.

    I prefer tikgnat's type of base setup over one using ramps but here is one of my earlier attempts at a base made using interconnecting ramps. Titan metroplex is now gone however.

    Righty, that last pic took a bizillion years to do so no more processing for you.

    As always those pesky Decepticon spies Soundwave and Ravage are somewhere in the scene... but as an added bonus Minimus Ambus is also hiding! Can you find them?

    [​IMG]

    New additions include WST Dinobots, Micromaster Countdown, Titans Return Fort Max (plus a few Titan Masters) and some more Micro Machines to flesh it out.

    [​IMG]

    Maketoys Utopia and G1 Optimus Primes trailer are pretty much the headquarters. I especially like how Countdowns helipad snugly fits in with Utopia.

    [​IMG]

    Titans Return Fortress Maximus and T30 Metroplex fit together really well. It took me ages to decide how to have Max, and indeed I tried loads of iterations before setting on this, which I think someone else came up with elsewhere. I can't remember. Anyway they form the largest part in the middle of the city, basically the airport. Nestled in front and under Metroplexes runway is Maketoys Infinitor!

    [​IMG]

    Encore Fortress Maximus, G1 Metroplex and Kabaya Fortress Maximus make up the 'old guard' bit of the city. Can't really have Autobot City without them like that I think.

    [​IMG]

    Ravage is really hard to spot BTW... but I believe it's possible. More pics later... assuming I can get decent lighting, it's so big I don't know if I can flood it with enough light...

    Metroplex and his little Titan Headmaster buddies (4 in there), and a couple of combiner wars guys as rotating gun platforms.
    Plus Shockwave.

    Watch out for that exit ramp, it's a real killer.

    There's some inspired use of the 5mm peg in those pics.

    I think that's the "g1-esque" repaint of Energon Starscream. Ebay is probably your best bet.
