She turned up yesterday and is a total charmer!

 

One of my favourite deluxe class figures.

 

 
Good morning all!

Popeye-Mel here! Why Popeye? Cos I have an abcess in my gum so one side of my face has now swollen up to gigantic proportions!
I can't talk properlyas my top lip swelled up over night too and I think I'm gonna need a straw to drink my cup of tea!

Who's the white bodied seeker you have there, a custom?  

Space Shuttle eh? Not sure this would be appropriate but maybe worth a look. Its a OSKO of the Warbotron Blast Off but in Aerialbot colours as it was made available in the OSKO TFC Superion set so quite a lot of white, fitting for a space shuttle! Cheap as chips too!

 

First Mastepiece

 

Skywarp and thundercracker. Aye, both customs. I'm gonna redo skywarp at some point, it was my first full custom and looks it. Lol.

 

And in my eyes, still in some ways, the best. Especially at the time there really wasn't anything else like it. Despite MP10 I still have incredible fondness for this toy!

 

True but was there some problems with the waist?

 

Finally decided to get my preorders on Kapow in for IF Slipstream and SG Optimus, but my mitts won't be handling them until Christmas. The shipping is insane!

 

Seconded!

 

CALENDAR UPDATE.



So, the 1989 Decepticon background has been completely rebuilt, meaning all the current backgrounds have been redone. Doing the faction symbols in vectors took me longer than simply farming jpgs of the internet but now it means I can scale it with absolutely no loss in quality!

I have to make a completely new background... and right now I'm not 100% sure which yet. Then comes the really long part, doing each page month by month and putting all the dates in...

Hmmm. That reminds me, I need a gif in there.

Edit
BTW I still need picture submissions!

 

Yeah, the hip joint fell out of the socket more often than a pensioners....

 

Very nice!

I know there's been mixed feelings on the decision to go Chibi style for the heads on IF's fembots but I think they're fun and would like them to do some more.....I reckon Chromia would be a decent choice next as they could do the Combiner Hunter repaint and after that Nickel to go with their DJD.

I've got Slipstream ordered with Kapow and should also get the Combiner Hunter Windblade variant in the same package as I ordered at the same time.

 

Great work! When is the cut off date for the calendar?

 

FINALLY! One I have Zero envy of - 'cuz I got him!

Speedy recovery to you, @robotmel, flippin' hooman bodies and their horrors!

Speaking of Horror, my Novastars are apparently out for delivery whilst I am at work until 6, and the delivery agent is Yodel, which is what I currently am doing internally!  

 

Damn she fine! The colours looks great. Also the high heels, the classic unpractical fembot cliche, actually look quite posable.

I might hold off though. Only because I think her greatest appeal is when she is displayed as part of a seeker team. And I don't want to get all new seekers, even if the eventual @bcm77 update pic will tell me otherwise. But if I do bite, I know I won't able to resist.

 

I wonder how many Sky Lynxes we'll end up with now that DX9 has thrown their cap into the ring? I wonder who will make the biggest one? I wonder where the bloody hell I'm going to put them all?

Oh, and I totally didn't sit up til half past two watching videos of Zeta's Combaticons...I think I want them.

 

Just been coerced into dropping a pretty penny on this bad boy... damn you Russos and your excellent films!

 

@Sixo Do you have a team name for your photo in the calender this month? They look so ace, they should have their own series. Who are the red Sunstreaker & Mirage redecos? TFwiki did not help me

Hi guys, I don't post in here much but I do lurk in this thread an absolute ton. Thought I'd posted this here already, but it looks like I hadn't. Anyway, I've got this (professionally published!!!) book coming out about Transformers (should start to dispatch direct from the publisher over the weekend) with a cover by Mike Collins, and a foreword by Gregg Berger. It's basically a complete toy-by-toy, comic-by-comic, episode-by episode guide to the G1 era and is full of facts and trivia and other random stuff. If you ever wanted to know how many copies the UK Marvel comic sold, or the date the cartoon series debuted on TV-am, or how 'Man of Iron' could feature an English castle in the year 1017 when castles weren't introduced to England until the 1050s, then this book is for you - link in sig, over 800 pages!

Hi @Ryan F ! I'd be very surprised if a goodly chunk of us weren't already planning on buying the book - I know I am!
