    Thanks again for the inspiration! My MMC Sixshot came in the mail today (A good price for a throne)

    Now to just get those other seeker wings... :ev: 

    I've seen it suggested that, on white and lighter colors, a shade of grey (#1-50...) is a little more subtle and not such a stark contrast as pure black.

    Found Laserbeak and Ravage while out of town this week. They look good with Soundwave

    Ravage isn’t that bad, would’ve been better with a tail. Laserbeak is definitely the better of the two. I like how the design fuses Beak’s pre- and post-Earth modes in bird mode. Looks awesome perched on Soundwave’s arm.

    I’m diggin how the chest gimmick can give Ravage a place to pounce from. And I really like the perch over the shoulder for Laserbeak that I saw another user do. Works and looks great!

    Ravage is a bit snug, but he looks good inside the chest compartment. Soundwave looks great with his minions. Like others I’m hoping to get the rest. The classic cassette bots would be nice, but honestly I’d love to see Slugfest and Overkill along with Beastbox and Squawktalk. Those are the cassettes I had as a kid and it would be awesome to see them again.

    I picked up Prowl a couple of days ago and after fiddling with him for a bit, and having had the Universe and CW versions at some point or another, I think he’s definitely the best version of the character we’ve gotten in a Generations line

    He’s a lot of fun to play around with and transform, lots of good articulation in there and a lovely head sculpt. The only other deluxes I have at the moment are Skytread and Hound, but I definitely like him more than Hound

    The only problem I’ve had with mine so far is that his gun is pretty loose in his hands

    Between starting a new shift at work last week and being out of town this week, I feel like I’m missing out. Gotta catch up on content. I hope everyone is enjoying my recent series of my variations on the Siege box art. But for a slight change of pace, enjoy Starscream soaring thru the cosmos.

    I love Prowl from the waist up. His wee legs are fine, but just rub me up the wrong way.
    I actually think this mold would work very well as a G2 Skram repaint.

    You know what, I'm adding that to me list of 'inprobable repaints I want' a Select Series box set of Siege guys as the Axelrators: Prowl as Skram, Hound as Turbofire, Sideswipe as Windbreaker (tee-hee) and.... someone else as Rapido. Maybe POTP Jazz as Rapido?

    I agree. Prowl was my first real Transformer when I was a kid (after Topspin and Twintwist) so I have a special sense of nostalgia for him. The universe one was horrible in my opinion (the head always looked weird like it was sitting on something) and the CW one doesn't have the right look for the character.

    You know I think that is the first comparison I've actually seen of Screamer with the classics seeker mold. He doesn't look too bad with them.

    Smokescreen will look instantly better with a silver rifle and shoulder cannons.

    How did you get the chest to look so smooth like plastic? I'm going to make one of these eventually and the chest is the first obstacle to making it happen.
