sure, Cybertronian Megatron is silly, but for every one of him we get, we also get some great alt modes like Cliffjumper or Wheeljack. Just like how in G1, for every Sideswipe or Bluestreak, there was a Perceptor

Thanks! He's actually not as difficult as I remembered. Knowing that there's going to be a 3rd Party Targetmaster coming out for this guy I jumped on it when I found one MOSC at a local comic shop for $18. He's definitely one of the gems from the Micron Trilogy, in my opinion.

Pics looks great -- focus, lighting, composition -- but the poses could use work.
Black Widow appears to be daydreaming while shooting at a dog.
You should at least take that elastic off her hand!

If your figure is pointing a gun, the barrel should line up with the plane of the forearm; the head should also be positioned so that the eyeline appears to line up with the plane of the barrel, so it looks like the figure is aiming the weapon.
Plant the feet firmly on the ground, and make sure your figure is facing its target.



Oh, and extreme close-ups are always popular.

^That really is a very nice closeup! So he's like wearing a cap? I want one.

Energon Decepticons were generally pretty good from what I know/hear of with some exceptions (Demolishor....). Looking forward to seeing the Targetmaster
Stormbomb's weapon is awesome, nice pics!

Thanks, but was not asking for comments on the poses and/or figures. Also, that is what the Black Widow figure looks like, not much more I can do about he dopey eyes and crooked wrist...... yet.
