    Ahhahah, of course. No idea how I completely forgot about them.
    I stand (well sit) corrected. Now bring on MP Soundblaster!

    I am envious. Two great people who's company I thoroughly enjoyed at Botcon 12.

    Very nice.

    I was surprised to see how big Blaster was compared to Soundwave when I got one.

    Really? gah. The annoying thing is that it was me that lost it in the first place.

    I too am all twisty turny when drawing, which is why I'll draw everything by hand first, then scan it in. vectors over that and jobs a good 'un.

    I will do more! Its funny that you mention G2 with Prime getting devoured by the swarm, as my pic was actually representing the S3 episode 'Dark Awakening'... but it does also evoke the G2 scene as well. I'm pretty happy with that!

    I'm pretty sure mine is on a very high shelf in the kitchen of my old flat (old building, tall ceiling). I used to display a couple of TF's there, but I'm not going back there because my old flatmate is a fucking bitch.

    It wasn't complete anyway (it was missing the gun panels) but annoying nonetheless. Still displays ok in alt mode, which, lets face it is roddy primes best mode.

    It was only the other day I was contemplating selling him on as he does nothing for me now. What's the going rate for Rodimus these days without accessories?

    He was also one of my least favourite characters in the cartoon. All he seemed to do was bitch and moan.

    heh I did wonder for a second why he was G1, but dismissed it as I prefer that design to the G2 one :p 

    Dark awakening was a good episode, I might watch it again tonight.

    F**K, went to LegoLand discovery centre today and it was rammed, not very good and cost 16 british pounds. Sorry 13 pound something plus vat - what?

    Not worth it in my book.

    woah, that custom Shockers looks really good.....I personally think it looks better than quakers(I may be in a minority here), sterling work.

    ...again, brillliant, very nice indeed.

    Back in 2000 I bought a repro G1 Rodimus wing. It was deliberately slightly too orange and had a couple of little circles moulded into the peg side so you could differentiate it from an original. Still works fine and you can only tell the differences if you're directly comparing.

    Anyway after I bought it and recieved it I noticed the differences and asked the seller why this was so, and he gave me the shittiest reply ever. Something along the lines of 'its so I can tell I made it and you can't steal my work you thief'. Needless to say I never bought any repro parts from that guy again... but it was so long ago I don't even remember his name/eBay ID.

    I have a Rodimus wing.

    You can't have it, it's attached to my Rodimus! :) 

    (although I do need the blast shields still...)

    So then, the Playstation 4 sounds interesting. Only shitter is the insane amount I've spent on the PS store over the past 7 years seemingly won't be compatible......

    At last, finally got Skyquake in hand (albeit I'm at work so can't take him out etc). Bundlebox is great for speed of delivery, expensive due to using fedex though...
