@Large,
Having watched a bit of speedrunning on YouTube of late I am convinced that there should be a special school where the top ones are trained to use their superhuman gaming skills to fight crime  

Do you have some honey for Mr Pooh or does he accept maple syrup as an alternative?

And make sure Grizzby stays away from your laptop!  

 

Hahahahaha @bcm77 oh my I didn't even think about GRIZZBY at all.
I'm in between shame and legit fear...

 

@Lothar Hex

Huge Dragon is a bit of alright. Hjz has been adding some rather swish faction logos with orders recently, and Omega is looking great with his. Really hoping to take some pictures later.

 

Anybody here know of The Protomen? Absolutely freaking amazing music and I just discovered them today! Brings back proper music memories   Based on all the lovely videogame posts I see I am sure a lot of you will definitely like them.

Can't say I was that enthused with MOMA [IF Cliffjumper]'s video review. Just seemed a tad too clunky in transformation for my taste.

I actually have no transformers on PO at the moment. No upcoming MPs tickle my fancy, very little 3P in my radar right now. It almost feels...empty?  

 

Due to room issues I had to box a lot of non-Siege Generation toys.
Those guys I can't.



I really love the fact that I was wrong about them at first.

 

CALENDAR UPDATE

Calendars have arrived! I have checked them and numbered them! Should be sending out... soon.

 

It’s time.



All the best

Megatron by Brendan Mitchell, on Flickr

2020 off to a great start thanks to Newage Megatron, love the colours, the posability is great and there's nice assortment of extras eg,

2 different faces ( 1 stoic, 1 laughing. Very similar to those with the first release of MP36 albeit with yellow eyes. )
3 sets of hands ( Fists, open and pointing )
4 translucent purple blast effects of differing sizes ( Wasn't sure these came with the toy version so it was a nice surprise to see them in the box.)
Energon mace
Pistol he shot Optimus with
Key To Vector Sigma
Stock and silencer for gun mode
An orange cap to put on the end of the gun barrel
A small grey piece I'm not sure the purpose of

Haven't transformed it yet as I need to be in the right mood for that but I'm very happy with how the robot mode looks, it's not as clean a design as Magic Square's upcoming take on the character from some angles, particularly the way the backpack kibble is exposed but if there's going to be something like that it's not the worst thing in the world because I don't display figures back to front.

Previous takes on original G1 Megatron at this scale didn't do it for me but between this one and Magic Square's which'll inevitably be in cartoon colours I think the itch will be suitably scratched although Iron Factory's will remain the Guvnor as far as my overall favourite figure of the character.

 

Bit of an impromptu tweakening today, perhaps the most pointless finishing touch ever but small yet essential for me - I remembered Mr. Hobby wine red is a near as dammit match for Quickswitch's so he's had some to make his new leg implants look more like the most pointless energon glow detailing ever!


And seeing as how I had the paint box open why not take a pass at colour-matching the Springster's new fuller thighs?

Not a bad match if I say so myself, a smidge darker because Muggins 'ere is out of white and used FS Grey with yellow green (with a bit of flat clear to assist the levelling) instead but, heck, that'll do over having to wait to try to match it with a new white I have no further use for!
KECK(s) AND RULE!!!

 

Loot du jour.

 

Anybody got a unique toys cerebros they would be willing to sell me?



I just started work on a project to make that Fortress Tiberius design into a figure, and want to use cerebros as the head, but I don't want to have to order the two pack

 

Congrats to Marvel UK. After more than seven years of exclusive contents and so much changes and efforts in publication to keep going, they made it and published its last and 332th issue of The Transformers 28 years ago on this day.




The universe has its own ways and Dreamwave declared bankruptcy on the very same day 15 years ago (already !).

 

Here's the regular purple-eared Hasbro 1986 G1 Transformers Cyclonus now with vintage stickers applied in the style of the proto/box photos, referring specifically to the orientation of the stickers above the cockpit canopy - as social media demanded!

Singalong by Brendan Mitchell, on Flickr

It's the Decepticon Christmas bash and Megatron treats everyone to a stirring rendition of "Big Gun" by AC/DC  

Swindle was later seen at the local bar selling copies recorded on Soundwave.

 

This is ridiculous. Also awesome.
About almost 16 years and thousands of hours of me playing and even running this game on multiple emulators, the WiiU, and even with different ways on Switch, and yet this is the very first time i'm doing it on Snes, with the proper cartridge.

 

What, really? That's a hell of a coincidink.

 

This, right here, is why these boards need more than just a 'like' option. For now just imagine I clicked a button titled 'love'.  

 

I repeat GAME *F***ING* ON!!!

That'll most definitely do, Lads!

 

Very kind of you dude, thank you!

All the best
Maz
