Folks:

 

"Did you have an odd feeling of dread just now?" 
That "Auto-Waldo" power loader thingy is just great! Where do you find the time for all this cool set design?

 

CH
In this case, I found the time in 2005.   The mech was sitting assembled and bagged in a Sterilite tub since then.

Wheeljack has used it before, only he had a cannon and missiles fitted instead of the winch, spotwelder, and manipulator arms (which I built after retrieval from storage.):

Robot Mode

Sand Speeder Mode

The writing and photo editing usually take longer than the sets do, oddly enough. These particular ones were mostly built from my existing box o' parts. The plasma reactor base and cosmotron chambers were ceiling fan
box inserts, painted with gray and black latex paint ($2/quart "mismixed" from the paint store), with various sprues and junkbox bits. The reactor chamber is a Diaper Genie refill case, topped by a painted plastic bowl, and the control-room window is a shield from an old printer.

 

Somethin' about he phrase "Start the Cosmotron!" makes me  

Also, really cool a lego figure  

 

I just have fun reading all the technobabble.  

 

Enjoyable read nonetheless......I too digg the technobabble, puts my alternator Wheeljack to shame... 

 

Hmm...so taking into account the components that make up this set, it is actually possible for the sh*t to hit the fan in this room...? 

 

Folks:
Technobabble is fun to write, too. Switch off the brain, switch on the pen, and be sure to say "polarity" a lot.  

CH:

Hmm.

*scribble scribble*

There is a small possibility, yes. But for now, hold off on the "lawyers, guns, and money".  

 

Or watch a few episodes of Star Trek Voyager and you'll learn technospeak by osmosis.  

"Recouple the negative fusion plasma reactors with the hydroratchet in 12.235 seconds or the output manifolds will reverse polarize!!"

See... months later, and the jargon is still burned into my brain.

 

SA:
TOS works too.  



B.R.T. Chapter 4, Number 7: "Odd Ball."












What have they got? Does it taste good with superstring
spaghetti? These answers, and less, may not be found in
Episode 8: "The Bell Jar"! Be there or Lugnut will inverse your polarities! [/QUOTE]

 

A pink, rubbery, non-spark thing... hmmmm.

Nope, no idea what this could be.   Hopefully we'll find out soon.

 

It's an anti-spark! eeeeee!

 

True, and there's the added bonus of not having to hear Janeway's voice.  

 

Ooo!!!  

 

They've created Quantum Chewing Gum!
Nice Furmanism, by the way.

 

SA: I actually don't remember being too annoyed with Janeway in the 1 or 2 Voyager episodes I've seen. Not up to TNG or TOS, but IMHO not utterly horrible.

SD: Ooooo. That would have been a great weapon to use on BM Megatron. Consume THIS!

CH: Am stealing "quantum chewing gum", see OotDL.  

 

It's a deal. 

 

Folks:
For some reason this one seemed to take forever to write.



B.R.T. Chapter 4, Number 8: "The Bell Jar."












Will all be delicious boiled confections by the time our heroes return?
Will they even have room for dessert?
Save your forks and tune in to the Blurry Robot Theater next time for
Episode 9: "Shot in the Dark." [/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

 

  at the chewing gum part. XD

Nice!
