    Is it bad that I am falling for KFC Wreckgar and I hated every product bought under the KFC/XTB name :lol

    It's an awesome mold and still in my top 5 of 2016. I really need to ship my Japanese version from the parents house so I can get some photos. In the meantime...

    If we're talking movie toys which need a greater appreciation:

    07 voyager Ratchet - what a transformation, great alt mode, almost kibble-free robot. Only let downs are the colour (fixed with a G1 pandering repaint) and the cage-claw weapon.

    Allspark Thingy Landmine - bonus rollerskates, spring suspension, actual seats which become actual articulated hands.

    ROTF Ice Cream Twins - ingenious, and it's your loss if you don't find some humour in a pink ice cream truck.

    (Not included are HFTD Mindwipe and Bludgeon because everybody loves them already even if one's underwhelming and has shoulder kibble to the ceiling and the other one's a fiddly transformation with a cumbersome robot.)

    Behave, Benjamin.

    Jolt is fine as long as you don't talk about DOTM Jolt, which is one of the worst-designed Transformers I've ever had. Horrible transformation, horrible design.

    Most of my favourite movie toys are the off-screen ones - the aforementioned Landmine or Armorhide repaint, 07 Dropkick, who has all kinds of nifty features, a lot of the ROTF Scouts, voyager Seaspray, DOTM Tomahawk, HFTD Terradive, DOTM Skyhammer, 07 Payload - some genuinely excellent figures there, some of which translate nicely over to a CHUG collection.

    And then there's excellence such as AoE's Evasion Mode Optimus, my personal love for voyager Hound, ROTF Sidearm Sideswipe, HFTD Battle Blade deluxe Bumblebee, HFTD Battle Blades voyager Optimus, DOTM Megatron, 07 Cliffjumper (makes that mould sing), and I even love deluxes like DOTM Starscream and Ratchet, and in particular DOTM Wheeljack for his excellent alt mode/transformation, articulation and range of weapons. Even if the headsculpt is horrible.

    Dude, you know THE RULES about mentioning Eva MP10. Don't make me destroy you.

    :cool: 

    I mean, it's cool that folks get enjoyment from movie toys. But for me, personally, I can think of not a single thing in this strand of reality that excites me less. Fucking hate every things about the Bay designs.

    JESUS CHRIST DUDE

    Moi?

    That's probably why I like the non-appearance movie toys more - they're totally different to the movie designs, no doubt having completely different designers to the 'on screen' toys, as well as not being beholden to the movie designs - so most of the ones I mentioned above are kind of their own thing which fit nicely into different displays.

    Assuming you mean in buggy mode (and as I have zero MP Primes) he's just under 10cm long rollbar-to-rollbar, 5cm wide from the outside edge of his wheels (which is about as wide as he gets) and from the floor up to his guns it's about 4 1/2cm. fairly sure he'll easily stuff in an MP trailer.

    So following on from Tarn Yesterday, another in the line of 'I didn't check the October MTMTE Bot list to draw so I drew another bot' bits of art.

    So today.... Drift!

    Meanwhile this guy has my interest.

    I love your style. For the next drawing I do for LostLightFest I think I might try and (very badly) imitate this look.
