    That's actually a really cool headcanon. I like making up headcanons for figures that are either new or have been replaced by newer and better sculpts.

    Ricon was one of the first I've tried to come up with, but I sadly don't have much.

    Do you mean McFeely’s video from a few months ago? I enjoyed it.



    The wiki version has some good info. I liked the toy history. I don’t own a Unicron yet. This will be my first hehe

    Yeah, look for the mushroom peg on the back arm assembly that connects the backpack to the robot, the whole back pack slides off, no modding required. The arm assembly stays on the robot body.

    I wish this line had more ratchets in the figures. I have my voyager Prime armed with $20 worth of Micromasters and have Flak mounted on the left forearm. The left shoulder joint is now looser, more than likely due to the weight of Flak on the arm.

    Hopefully the next line has more ratchets. I'm glad this line brought back more pins but we need ratchets for long term pose sustainability.

    This is sofa king awesome. For all I know the jetpack Prime was a tribute to the original Galaxy Prime, but in my head the Siege figure is a tribute to Optimus who came flying back from the dead and blasted everyone with a big ass Gatling gun.

    It’s funny that you say that, he reminds me of Prime/RID Optimus when he got all bulky too. Him and the Siege Voyager Optimus fight for shelf space to be THE Optimus on the Autobot shelf.

    I own many different kinds of shirts for different weather and environments, so does Optimus, that’s how I look at it :) .

    Galaxy Upgrade is Space Command kit
    Voyager is ground forces Kit

    Level of Jealousy: OVER 9000! o_O :eek: 

    I just hope that Omega isn't tall enough to look Metroplex in the eyes when I finally get him. Being is as tall as CW Devastator, who will be his punching bag, is fine, though.

    IMHO, Sixgun's boss Metroplex should remain the tallest figure in my collection for the forseeable future.

    I have a preorder for Omega Supereme from Amazon, but it still says October 8th. :(

    I'm enjoying my Reconnaissance 3-pack but felt the need to go retro:

    Did some part swapping and I'm not sure if I like it. The goal was sunstorm and I think it looks pretty good but not sure if I should just paint those bits instead. Cheaper for sure. The yellow starscream is just because I didnt want parts lying around and I was kind of curious. Also might turn it into a different seeker. I want the welcoming committee and I'm not sure if Hasbro will deliver. What do u think of the part swap? Was going to do the same with the blue one to make bit coin or bit torrent or whatever the hell his name was lol.
