    Beautiful shots! Those Dinobots are looking great, too.

    Fantastic! And the really great thing is that there's no MP Galvatron, so Starscream gets to rule supreme. (Seriously, that was like the end of my childhood when Galvatron blew Starscream away; I always wanted Tom to catch Jerry, Wile E. Coyote to catch that wretched Road Runner, and Starscream to finally usurp Megatron - to have his brief victory snatched away like that was too much.) Those Constructicons look good with the MPs, too - I'm looking forward to getting the Takara set at Christmas.

    I just upped my collection from Exhaust to Tigertrack, Soundwave & Cassette Bots, and Hasbro MP-10! I'm loving MP-10, this is the best Optimus I've ever owned.

    Also grabbed Grimlock and Star Saber, but both I purchased have issues that are hopefully being sorted out, both faulty hip joints from two different sellers (that's not the sellers fault though).

    Does anyone else have an issue with MP-10 where his back's weapon storage doesn't close with the gun actually inside? It's that and his chest doesn't close flush in robot mode (which I see is a really common one, but I hadn't heard of the back thing before).

    I guess I stand corrected. On the starscream thread, when debating about them not including the coronation gear, I mentioned that pretty much nobody displays that scene anyway...........

    looks great, still hope at some point Hasui gives us an MP'd upgraded and uscaled Devestator. I think he has the basic concept already, just a few inches larger and less CHUGgy. If the constructicons individually were a little larger this scene would be awesome.

    Nice grab! Even with having the three FT Dinobot offerings to date, Grimlock is still one of my favorite MPs. SO MUCH CHUNKY GOODNESS! And Smokescreen with the rest of the Z bros are just a joy to transform.

    Little known fact: Starscream shot them because of Scrappers inability to play the trumpet due to his lack of elbows.

    Seriously, he's just pointing his arm forward.

    (How do faceplated alien robots blow trumpets anyway?)

    Thanks, I admit I'm geeking out more with Grimlock than I did opening Devastator a couple days ago. Getting smokescreen's rear quarter panels to double hinge out the first time took multiple c'mon babies but perfect transformation otherwise.

    Humbling :)

    I made a very simple set-up in the living room (took it down straight after) to take the photo.

    1 x Ikea roll of paper for backdrop (borrowed from the kid)
    2 x Ikea lamps
    1 x Reflector above held by two chairs

    If you don't have a reflector you can make one easy with tinfoil.
