    In my set red swoop is swoop, blue swoop is strafe and oversized swoop won’t be used in the long run, just didn’t have a place for him (if weijiang does a red swoop I might reconsider)

    I tried to find a Grimlock-specific thread but I guess they’re all old and not allowed for posting in? Anyway. Has anyone else done this with POTP Grimlock to give the Dino mode better feet? (Put the peg from the Prime Armor hand onto the side of the Grimlock arm/foot, then put the peg from the Prime Armor foot into the thumb of the Prime Armor hand.)

    edit: the guns on the side of his neck are attached using these bits from SteamShield: 5mm Weapon Ports 4-Pack by SteamShield on Shapeways

    You know a figure has done something right, when even the Mrs. comments on it upon walking into "The Toy Room."

    Well, my Aliexpress Hun-Gurr came in. And holy shit, I didn't legitimately think a torso bot would ever top Combiner Wars Silverbolt in my view, but Hun-Gurr actually does. I mean, it helps that he's using much of the same engineering - but his torso mode is somehow even more rock solid than Silverbolt's, and doesn't have the massive wing backpack to boot. I don't even mind the stickers, because they're applied well unlike almost all the stickers from Titans Return and Power of the Primes.

    Shame he doesn't come with weapons though. Damn, Power of the Primes really suffered from its obvious budget cut.

    Been messing around with more chest armor configs for Orthia. I'll have to paint the right angle connectors I'm using here but I think I like this for now. God knows I'll hate it in a couple weeks.

    Also, massive pic dump incoming:

    Cutthroat's blaster is quite lame. I blame budget cuts for that.

    Cutthroat definitely suffered due to budget cuts. I'm honestly fine with the blaster, but the head is what was unacceptable. They should've used pins for that.

    Still waiting for Lancer, but I'm glad we got a Hot Rod/ Rodimus Prime who isn't a Titanmaster.

    Yeah. His head popped off as soon as I opened him up. I regret buying that figure.
