    Decided that Jetfire needed a good reshoot.

    and Gerwalk mode, the legs locked in put way too much pressure on the shoulder hinges, did one, then popped it back out, not risking it breaking like half the ones on ebay

    Nice! I was finally able to work out a trade to replace my old yellowed up Jetfire body with a reasonably white one. The only issue with my new one is that the panel that becomes the chest is a bit faded, but it beats the hell outta the mustard yellow figure I had before (damned peroxide whitening BS).

    Awesome looking Jetfire pics. He's always been in my top handful of favorite figures all time.

    Browsed my local comic shop today and found an awesome looking Sludge, a complete set of the Insecticons who looked perfect, and some of Soundwave's tapes. I almost drooled on the glass casing :lol  I didn't even know the Insecticons came with little Energon cubes.

    Also, is 20 bucks good for just Sludge and no accessories?

    Insecticons are a Takara reissue if they come with cubes. Not vintage 80s. The Sludge price isn't bad. You'd more than likely pay that after shipping if you got one off the Internet.

    Good lord almighty.

    Bryce, your service and contribution to Transformer fandom in general, and G1 fandom in particular, is duly noted and appreciated.
    Kudos, sir. We salute you.
