I was referring to the Bumblebee movie toy line, lots of Volkswagen beetles there  

 

hmm - still processing Prowl - bot mode from the waist up is spot-on, but the legs? bit of an afterthought... Alt mode, I think I can see what they're shooting for, but it's missing the mark a bit for me - might need to see it in hand first (Chortles at the thought of seeing later wave SIEGE at bricks and mortar)

Sixgun though is glorious - I'm so in for all the weaponisers, and the battle master Pteradactyl/Axe is inspired

going to see what Birthday money I get and maybe drop an order at Kapow for SIEGE Prime and Megs..

 

Kapow have wace 2 and 3 power masters for individual sale. I'm tempted to pick up blood and gilmer since duros would be the easy one to get, but i just can't bring myself to pay 8 quid each.

 

Ooh, got a photo? Not sure which one you mean.

 

Whilst they are doing Brunt, Cog, Sixgun they ought to fashion together a Fasttrack.

 

I do kind of wonder if a serviceable Fasttrack could be cobbled together from component parts of the first three weaponizers? - I guess they're all going to utilise the same connecting technology....

 

Dayum....

Doesn’t time fly?

Absolutely snowed under both personally and professionally! Nothing negative or grief, just rea line getting in the way of me and my robots...!

Big shout out to all and will post a quick catch up post this weekend...

@Decepticreeps100 Glad the Junkion leader is working out for you...

@stevil33 Sorry for being so pants at getting back to you!

 

QFT

 

Forget detolfs, this bugger barely fits on a double depth bookcase.

 

Damn optimus and megs are in stock at kapow why didn't I preorder it you lucky buggers may get them this weekend. That megs looks like he found his neck.

 

There'll be general stock going up once all the paid pre-orders are dispatched if you're itching for them.

Gone back to a pet project since finishing the design stage of a professional one...

...the time I left it fallow resulted in me figuring out what was bugging me, and I believe the solution will come from integrating the 'bot signs to recreate an arm bot-badge border similar to the stock stickers' uniquely chunky ones.
Hope that's okay to get 'em printed!

 

I'm smitten.

 

Keeping it as a separate part makes the inevitable Bluestreak and Smokescreen redecos much easier too, no actual remoulding required.

 

Assuming it's gang-moulded I wonder if there's an alternate replacement for the other two Datsuns, it's not a very large piece o' plastic is it? Maybe the G1 rear stock as a separate piece (if it is a gang-moulded part with an alternate of course) maybe extending the rifle a bit too? It does look a little short to me as is.

 

Dayum, might have to email Andy about sending these guys out ahead of the deluxes.

They are really nice looking bots in person, Optimus in particular looks like he could be the very best main line Prime we ever had!

 

Hasbro thought that there was no remoulding required for CW Prowl and Smokescreen...

If anyone wants to see how a 3P thread can go so ridiculously off the rails - only this time in the best possible way - check out the GT-Red Bull T-Beast Sideswipe thread.

 

Since the Co-Op of all places is selling Prime Masters.
I was just wondering is that the only place to get a stock drop of them - I'm happy to pay £5.00 for them which is what they are in Co-OP but the higher collectable store prices do put me off a bit.

Is there any other options so far i've seen Skullgrin/Landmine/Metal Hawk & Submarauder.

Thought i'd ask here.
