    They don’t sit that well on Firebolt - a tad loose. If you added some future to those tips to make them tighter it’d work better.

    Apart from the list I made in the 18+ thread, they also work with Tracks’ hand-gun.

    I’d love to see a photo of MP-39, MP-18+, MP-33, MP-30, MP-41, and MP-43 all laughing together at the same joke.

    So! My plan was to get Cheetor this weekend...BUT. Today, during class, I checked on Amazon and saw that MP-20+, the first MP I settled on in this whole escapade, was up for $65-ish. I had $20 in gift cards, so I jumped on that and ended up with a $75-80 figure for about $45!

    Yeah buddy! Nothing would get done except playing with toys and these giant playsets. I actually wrestled with wanting to make this particualr diorama, but with Prime being released soon, and Hound at the end ofthe year, Sunstreaker begged me to make it. Actually, he refused to star in anymore comics until I get this made. I knew he was a jerk by making me pay his ransom.

    I just had a thought. I can battle damage the first bay door and have Starscream stand in front of the hole in the shuttle. That one will be a very loose, artistically licensed, not scene accurate representation since I put magnets in both bay openings.

    He’s brilliant (literally, hah).
    A shame he didn’t come with his sword, though there’s a third party company making a chrome one called Tyrant’s Blade.

    I am so looking forward to MP-44+ one day. MP-36+ is probably the best repaint in my collection.

    All that's left is to do touch ups but I'm pretty much done with the shuttle. I'll paint the bottom and build some supports but I'm quite pleased with this 33-years-in-the-making diorama/playset.

    Its funny how this scene was the last we'd see of Sunstreaker and Hound. Nevermind Ironhide, Ratchet, Brawn and Prowl.

    Incredible, man. Absolutely amazing. My favourite diorama yet!


    Now build the rest of the shuttle ;)

    Diaclone Bluestreak is a treat. My copy had some scratched up blue paint on the left leg. I had to smooth it out with the buffer attachment on my Dremel. Thankfully, there's blue plastic underneath that paint.

    It's incredible! I can just imagine the ramp folding up and retracting inside before they take off!

    Thanks guys. It would have been very neat to see the ramp opening in the movie. I know that ship has long since sailed but I would have loved more animated scenes.

    Not sure if I'll do another scene from the movie. The MP scale is so massive, and I'm so out of room. I do want to do Cape Carlson but again, no space.

    Dang, the doomed shuttle. I just realized that the shuttle probably crash landed somewhere with the corpses of Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Brawn :-(
    Never to be seen from again...?

    Now that I got Megatron and Soundwave, don’t know which MP to get.

    Any ideas?

    Sunstreaker? Inferno? Both great figures. Judging by your avatar, you're a Prowl fan. Both versions of Prowl are great. I prefer the +version
