Added pulley cables to Hightower. My original plans all fell through but this one is good for now until I order stuff I can't get locally.

 

Yes, an SS Hotrod would be awesome!! I do still like my TLK Hotrod, but having something with more playability would be nice!!

Definitely Sideswipe!!

I can understand your point of view, and honestly, if was immature of me to go off in a tangent and failing to realize that not everybody works the way that I do. And for that, I apologize to you, as well as to @Shmoptimus Prime. I'll make sure to keep any criticism to myself!!

I'm building up my collection of Primes/Primals, but I tend to skip on Primes are exactly the same, do I get where your coming from.

Btw, how are you liking your SS38??

 

@erwinsims Happy birthday my man, I hope that you have a great day!!

 

Midnight Strike Roadbuster is almost done. I'm still debating if I want to paint the kibble or not

 

I fav movieverse figure.... It's just beautiful!!

I'm with you. I'm ready to see some 2020 releases.

 

Wishful thinking here but I wonder if Hasbro would revisit characters like Breakaway. Would be cool if we have other 2nd tier characters like him. I really liked his design and personality. He'd make for a great Voyagers class toy

 

Buy buy buy!!!

 

Oh man, I was just about to make a post saying the same thing. I'd love if he got a SS Voyager that was tall and chunky, like Starscream. They're running out of Autobots from the Bayverse that can fill that size class (Knight Optimus, Hound, Sentinel Prime, Steelbane maybe)

 

This is the first time I disagree with you.

This tread is an aprecoation tread yes, but if people start to critizise other people cause they have a different oppinion on some toys (like what is happening now)
I feel I do not belong here.

I do love the movieverse bots AND the toys.
But when I feel Hasbro has been lazy on a toy I should be able to say so. Especially if other people feel the same.

The Leaders are the most expensive toys in the line, we get an (already) UNDERSIZED voyager that has been around a while with a trailer that basicly sucks for 70 euro.. but we can not share our dissapointment with the people here without backlash?

We have Manga here that has nothing to do with Movieverse, G1 refference, other stuff that goes here without saying but we can not have an oppinion other than “well done Hastak?
I was not intending to “boycot Hasbro”
I will buy Drift, Dropkick and other future bots.

I will not be sharing this in this tread if people like @Shmoptimus Prime , @Lukelbs and other people get offended and start to bash people cause They might have critisism on Hasbro.

And thank you mate.

With the above critisism on the way Lockon and I got bashed here, this will be me signing off in this tread.

Good luck with gushing on whatever Hasbro makes, Manga and asking the same 3 question over and over and over and over and over and over.....,

 

Hey man I think you're not in the wrong to be criticizing SS-44, personally I'm alright with it but I can agree with all the faults it's getting. IMO as long as we don't throw harsh words at each other we should be able to voice our thoughts on the figures we collect freely.

If you feel the need to leave the thread that's your right but I'm gonna miss seeing your custom work myself. Take a break if you need it and come back again some time. I hope you'll change your mind by then.

Also sorry I missed it but happy birthday dude!   Keep up the great paint work my man!

 

I still have ROTF Breakaway and I still love him. I really want another figure like him and a voyager would be even better! But I doubt Hasbro would go back and make another figure of him as well as other characters from the ROTF and HTFD lines.

Happy birthday! I hope you have an awesome day! But I don't think you should leave this thread. It's great having you on this thread and we still want you here! We are all allowed to have opinions, we just should respect others too. The conversations can sometimes get out of hand.

 

Happy birthday @erwinsims ! May you continue delighting our eyes with your breathtaking customs and dedication to fighting the monster known as ‘scale’  

 

Happy bday @erwinsims Hope you a great day

 

That's awesome! What has to be removed for transformation? (If anything)

 

Nah man that stuff is over with. Youre one of the reasons why i keep checking this thread because i love your customs. Happy birthday as well!

 

Nothing. It's tied around the black plate piece thingie. I was going to have 5 separate loops, then 3, and now 1 after I couldn't get the right combination of cord diameter and tube crimp (then had to do a simple hand tied knot instead). I'll update it again after. Ideally, I need 0.5mm diameter black stretch / elastic cord (local crafts store only had 1mm in black which was then too big for standard tube crimps). One store has 0.5mm stretch cord in white but I'm mulling over if I want to go through the hassle of dying it black with tye dye.

I put in this thread pics of the cables in vehicle, dino, and combined hand modes.
Various mods (of mods), custom stuff

 

YES! It's annoying because it said available august 1st which means I should have it by now but it says arriving monday. Did hasbro short-change them on the stock? I hope monday doesn't roll along and we get a message saying "whoops sorry we meant friday!" or something.

Haha definitely. My guess is they know that.

Challenger gets major points for being Optimus, and I definitely think LA Hire would be getting a lot more attention if he was a character that was widely liked instead of the throwaway he became in TLK, but he really is a top-notch figure and one of the best examples of what Transformers engineering can and should be.

Yeah I think this all gets blown out of proportion on both sides.

I feel ya but honestly I'll preach the LA Hire gospel forever cause he's really that great!

Any way to remove the silver without damaging the plastic?

That's because he's AWEsome!  

Hey man no need to apologize, especially to me. And no need to keep criticism to yourself! I just want to keep things positive when we can.

OK so you've now "quit" this thread twice, AND you've insulted the thread on your way out, twice. @Lockon Prime was able to end up having a civil discussion with us and everyone has already calmed down. Why do you feel the need to fly off the handle now? It's fine to say we want positivity. It's fine to disagree. But at the end of the day it's simply more fun and nicer to be positive in an APPRECIATION THREAD. We've been through this before. I'm fine with someone criticizing something. Don't paint me as some draconian anti-criticism damper on your fun please. I just want to have a good time in this thread and you help us all have a good time, except when you get really mad and quit the thread on your birthday, and everyone has to beg you to come back, which I won't do.
