    @Blazing Mewtwo: Do I sense a hint of a King Kong homage in the second shot (I could be wrong though)?

    Same thought here. I really want to know if there's a third party Smokescreen replacement head that's molded exactly like Prowl's head, but in Smokescreen's colors. I don't normally want to replace parts on MPs, but man, I really, really, really want to replace Smokescreen's head. All I have now is Blue Bluestreak so far, but I do want anime Bluestreak, Silverstreak, Prowl, and Smokescreen.

    Great shot of a great pairing! I can hardly believe those two are real when I look at them. I loved the original MP Red Alert, but I also remember wishing he at least had silver or white thighs and feeling like he was only half complete without his buddy Inferno. Being a minor character and a non-supercar, I thought guys like Inferno and Grapple would never happen. And yet here we are :) 

    Thanks so much! Big fan of yours, DP!

    Always get a kick out of your MP/G1 pairings. Keep 'em coming!

    Too kind, buddy! Really means a lot :)  I dunno, though, TCracker and Maz's shots and poses brim with life and energy! To name but a few... tons of talented posters in this thread. Love stealing new ideas where I can!

    My current display. I don't have MP Megatron or Soundwave so CW and TR Leaders are standing in. I'm getting MP Optimus Primal today and I'm really excited for him. Hurry up, FedEx...

    Nice shot, but you forgot to push up the smoke stacks.

    “What is it Optimus?”

    I was going for like a Terminator thing. Like this is how Unicron sends him places with a built in space bridge.

    Ratchet, I know Optimus said we needed to reprogram him...but this may be going too far.

    Recently installed Hobby Base 1/144 T-95 Mechanical hands for Bumblebee. Installed hands for other 3P minibots; check my page for more pics. Still transforms like a champ no problem.

    I would only recommend these hands for display enthusiasts. If you don't like KFC ball-peg fingers, you will most definitely hate Hobby Base fingers. Uses a c-clip instead; worse than ball peg!

    Thanks, man! You mean keep the upper body the same but reposition the legs? Next time I take shots I'll give it a shot! My general rule of thumb is to counter twist, usually giving the most natural movement (if the right leg is forward, the right arm is usually swinging back to balance, etc) but rules are meant to be broken haha

    What would you guys say are the most underutilized gimmicks or accessories going by the pics you see in this thread? There are quite a few, but first one that comes to my mind might be the piledrivers on Soundwave's forearms or the piledrivers attached to him in tape deck mode. Love how Hasui made Soundwave and all his tapes and their accessories fully compatible, even being able to store Frumble's guns in his feet.
