"In the beginning there was... the cube" in that context But damn, at least I know now where to go if I want a clear, compact overview on the Transformers history
Poor Dreadwing. Getting hit by Howling's new car. So they can fit inside those things? What line is that car from?
In order to get Howling, or any Busou Shinki figure for that matter, to fit into the Humvee, I have to remove all of the leg below the thigh and the complete dog tail assembly for there to be enough room for her to "sit" and not have her head stick out of the permemently open sun roof. You can't really tell she's missing her legs when she's in it, though, unless they're in the same shot. The car itself is some "All Terain Attack Vehicle", A.K.A. a heavily armed Humvee with (rather powerfull) firing missiles, a hood mounted sniper chain gun thing, and a removable pannel on the hood for "battle damage", made by Trendsetters in 1998 for some "Godzilla" remake that I've never seen. I never got the acessories or figures compatible with the Humvee, but I guess I never really played with it that much, considering only one missile is missing and there are very few paint scratches when I found it earlier this week. You can find MISB "All Terain Attack Vehicles" on teh interwebz for around $17 since it's been out of production for years, probably around the time Beast Machines started up.
You SURE got everything out of the Transformers' history, eh, Burnout? Also, nice defense system you got on your ATAV!
Thanks guys, I wasn't to sure about having Sixshot re-illeterate the condensed version of TF history, but aparently it was well recieved along with Howling's new "Funvee" Ultimate Optimus-I know I left out one or two things, but that's because I thought they were not actual cannon related to anything and so not worth mentioning *cough*kissplayers*cough* Since many of the members who post funnies on TFW2005 do profiles, I guess I should, too. So here's the first one: Profile: Howling is the first Busou Shinki that The Owner aquired, but she seems to get along well with the TF's, Bionicles, and Exo-Force figures that The Owner also has. She doesn't like the fact she was designed and engineered to be in the image of a perfect, sexy female teenager, but she tries to ignore that feeling by thinking she's in a black gymsuit all the time. Howling likes to show off her dog tail all the time, though, as it shows that she's not completley human when she has it attached. She especaily likes Battle Ravage and Sixshot, who have connections to animals in the same way she does to a dog with her armor. She also is currently the only figure who can operate a mysterious, heavily armed Humvee discovered soon after her arival, which she calls the "Shinki-Utility-Vehicle". Temperment: Sweet, Kind, somewhat nieve about overly complex things. She doen't get mad easily, but she likes her BFG alot, and if someone pisses her off enough, she will use all of her wide arrament to send that person into an almost litteral coma. Relations: MMS Cat Type "MaoChao"-Wave mate figure, not owned by The Owner. Trivia: Her Arival was the "Beaten Dead Horse" event predicted by Sixshot back in the second comic.
Okay, but I'll have to add pics later 'cause my camera's charging. Alternators Battle Ravage Prefered weapon- V8 twin-barrel hyper laser Alt. Mode: Corvette Z06 Convertable w/ street performance upgrades Profile: The 50th TF that The Owner aquired, Battle Ravage was obtained through eBay in his previous location...in Canada, for $20 U.S. He is not fond of his "toy" history, which makes him a really complecated time paradox and plot device, or his real history as an Alt. Tracks retool with a panther head and source of complaint from the fandom. Regardless, he is a literal thinker, and perfectly willing to use his many weapons, ranging from his engine-gun to his articulated jaws, to get his point across. He also does not actually Transform much due to a design flaw with his legs and door hinges, but he likes robot mode better anyway. He also can get mixed up very easily when trying to explain things like his toy backstory. Altough he is not really Beast Wars Ravage, he speaks with that Ravage's russian accent nonetheless. Temperment: Serious-minded, but has a sense of humor. He is more likley to solve a problem with combat than diplomacy, but not always. Relations: Alternators Hound- from same toy line Trivia-1. If it wasn't for the slight blemish on his right sholder/fender, he could be considered "almost-mint" and have been sold as such on eBay. I was lucky to have won him for $20 at all. 2. I got him mainly for the cat head and his toy's backstory. Really. Armada Hot Shot Profile: The first Transformer that The Owner ever bought, he is the oldest TF in terms of residence in the house. He is a member of the Elder Committee, and is widely respected by all the toys for his wisdom, dispite the fact that he has bad articulation. Temperment: think "wise elder"-ish Trivia- He is not a ******, and he does not like jaAm.
Hey, Burnout, check this out. The UK Animated comic named a story after you. UK Animated Comic's Sideswipe is now Afterburner - Transformers Toys, News & Reviews - TFormers.com
Thanks Shane! Does it have a repainted movie Camshaft? Regardless, that's pretty funny, thanks for showing me Well, folks, there may be no comic this week. I went to a model train show today where I picked up my dream engines; a brand-new 2-6-2 and a good condition TYCO 2-8-0 tender drive, both for under $40, and spent alot of time playing around with them. I still have a bunch of homework to do, though, so this weekend is booked for me.
Hey, look, I was wrong about not posting a comic this weekend, you have my friend to thank for that. "Other Visitors" (Part 1)
Well, he gave me his first Camshaft because the door was missing and he'd gotten another one (Camshaft-2). The Camshaft he gave me was turned into Burnout. This Camshaft and Powerglide are actually two of his favorite TF's and are on loan from him along with a Movie Ratchet and Movie Salvage for some detail work he's commissioned through me, such as panel lining Powerglide through washes. I'm gaining interest in getting my own Stormcloud, though... Also, most of the posing of Burnout and Camshaft are intended to show just how far I went in repainting Burnout.
