    The 3D printer is of poor quality.

    I don't know why but I feel as though I've been waiting for an image like this for a long time. Love it.

    Bluestreak is soooooo good on this mold. I take it back: Barricade isn't the best use of it.

    I scoffed at the idea of all the Rainmakers until this image. Holy... this is amazing. Loads of personality!

    Got Redwing from Target today (F you Target for making me get your credit card to buy him, but I did get a 5% discount and free shipping using it)

    The Red color looks much better in person than in pictures and my copy didn't have the problem with the chest that Starscream had. It stays on when transforming!

    Photos don't show it well, but retro-styling battle damage onto some pre-Siege characters is oddly satisfying. photo 3.JPG photo 4.JPG

    I did not look when I opened the package and trashed it before noticing your question.



    Welcome to the boards!

    Ya it sucks you have to be a Red Card Member to get this guy... I am still debating if I want to or not...I do like the looks of Redwing

    Images and pictures are always the case. Some figs aren't "photogenic" but look real good on hand.

    Could someone post a pic of Thundercracker next to Ion Storm? I’d really like to better see how their blues differ.

    Odd, I was about to post a comparison photo. Ion Storm's blue is more, um, blue. Thundercracker's blue has a subtle green / cyan to it.

    Left: Ion Storm, Right: Thundercracker

    Thanks! I just wish they had given Thundercracker a little more red in robot mode to further set him apart. But I appreciate that the blues are different.

    Mine has been hanging on my wall in his stasis pod for months patiently waiting for his new buddy Smashdown to arrive...his freedom is nigh.

    Let’s hope he arrives soon! But, not too quickly! We don’t want poor old Smashdown to end up like @saucesmithco ‘s Smashdown. It was completely sat on!

    I don't know if this is because of postal service from Taiwan, but it's been 3 weeks now and I still didn't get my Skywarp. Yesterday, my office mailbox was broken into. I am not sure if Skywarp would fit in that mailbox though.

    Siege Ironhide is quite a nice figure, even with the issue of the side panels on the legs pops out easily.

    Speaking of Ironhide, more Ironhide!!

    Maybe need more support structures? The hammer is a good idea. I would suggest making a handle extension to make it look even more menacing (basically, a 5mm rod with a coupler attached +/- an end cap piece).

    These are some examples with extension handle resin copies I made and modded from Matrix Workshop's OP axe:

    I agree. Seige Skywarp is my fave of the seeker trio.


    *picks petals* I love Seige Starscream, I love him not. You guys are always making me want him with your amazing photos, but then I see his battle damage in person and cringe. Do I get him? Do I not? How am I to decide? He does look much better with Thundercracker's head.


    @pokemonsdoom Who is the red and black seeker in your picture? :)

    Just because your paranoid, don't mean they're not after you. :D
