I love the shiny green on this figure.
He is sooo shiny. One of my all-time favorite MP's.
I might buy a second one someday.

 

If you continue this you should pair him with Outback on his jaunts.

 

Been having fun with Arkose. He's been sitting neglected on the season 2 Autobot shelf for a while now lol.

Beachcomber: Today we look at the king of Cybertron's wilds. A creature , docile when given its proper respect, is quick to anger when challenged. It's main source of prey the unsuspecting minibot. What?

Beachcomber: This week on Planet Cybertron, we have been fortunate enough to discover the den of a family of Cybertronian Jaguar...
These creatures are notoriously difficult to encounter in the wild due to their natural stealth abilities.
(because of this the few domesticated members of this species are commonly used for infiltration and saboteur missions).
Behind me we can see the female and her cubs, the older playfully sizing each other up.. while the younger stick close to their mother. Even rarer one of the cubs is albino...
Now we've seen no signs of the male in the area, hopefully he is far away hunting, but we must make no sudden moves around the den just incase he's camouflaged near by...

 

I woud have completely missed the albino if you hadn't mentioned it.

 

Yeah the "caption" became a bit wordy for this one but I wanted to work in the Newage SG ravage some how lol

 

So I actually ended up swapping my fanstoys beachcomber for the xtb. The fanstoys one is well built and all, but the character didn't really come through for me. I am a hasui/classic mp style collector, so hunted down a reissue xtb beachcomber. The cage is not well thought out but easy to treat as a partsforming piece. Painted the rims, bumper and the sides of the arms and he fits in great.

 

i was just thinking about this guy a few days ago and how every time i see a pic of the ft one it’s such a miss. I did the same to my xtb as well as painting the bars silver. It’s still such a great figure, even with it’s quirks.

 

I was actually thinking of painting the bars. I was probably going to do black to match the g1 toy, but with how much they move I fear they would get crazy chipping during transformation
