    So jealous of all those human figs I'll never be able to afford. :( 
    "Ninja forks"???
    I have that problem with the left arm on both Skywarp and Thundercraker.
    British slang is the reason we now have a dinobot with a stupid name that is no longer perfectly matched to his function... :mad:

    Seeing all this talk of bios and recent posts by @barry in particular, I'm reminded that I still have my copy of Transformers Universe Vol. One, which was written by Budiansky. Do you guys remember that book?

    Finally got around to painting and assembling the Tim Heada kit I bought for Refraktor(s).

    Everything fits together super tight, like to within the width of an atom, but it really completes the camera mode and helps differentiate the trio in their bot modes.

    Worth it if you're okay with a bit of customising ;)

    Misspelling of "Reflector" uncorrectable...pass.

    Still have practically all of my old Tech Specs and a decoder. Bwahahaha.

    Remember Predaking's bio getting the vaunted line "NO KNOWN WEAKNESSES."

    Megatron realizes that today wasn't the best day for him to go to the front lines. I realize that I don't have a background big enough to photograph Omega Supreme on, so I just slapped two pieces of foam board together. I'll have to get something proper rigged up in the future.

    That`s a nice picture, but you can really tell, how far the bot designs for WFC have improved over the last trilogy.

    Fixed Nova and Ion Storm's faces, poor buggers had some messed up face paint out of the box but now they have some proper scowls:

    Perhaps should go in the Siege bewilderment thread, but it doesn't exist. Cybertronian weapon names make only a little less sense than the English ones, but what the hell is this other piece of paper.

    - 6-7 inch tall Deluxe figure
    - hardly any hollowness
    - double elbow joint
    - wrist swivel
    Holy WOW that Spinister is fun to play. I'd say that fake cockpit was totally worth it.

    Yeah, Spinister looks like the best deluxe of the line. Really stoked to get him.

    Everybody is calling Spinister, Spinster like he's a old woman. Please people its Spin-ist-er not Spinster which is: an unmarried woman, typically an older woman beyond the usual age for marriage.
