Throttlebot love!

Wideload and Searchlight are under way.

 

So as you may have gathered rummaging in the TR 'Bot Box has jogged some memories and in the course of "fit everybody back in there" Stowage Tetris I happened across this ugly mug:

Yes, Mister Why-The-Long-Face himself Sawback-with-the-too-G1-Face, and you may notice a slight difference. Or not if you aren't as pedantically aesthetic detail-oriented as I am!  
It occurred to me that while there was indeed nothing I could do with the loooooong face too slavishly G1 accurate for my taste, I could do the same thing I did with OSKO Snarl and cover the brow between the eyebrows (the glabella to save you a google if you're wondering about a proper name for it, of course I had to!), in Sawback's case by a careful scrape-off of the yellow. Now he may still most resemble the alien puppet in 'The Corbomite Maneuver' the proportions sit with me a bit better than before when it was all nose.

 

Based on the box art that has been doing the rounds, that’s exactly what we’re going to get - although in the art, Bee has no backpack.

 

Today's haul (not all for me lol)

Edit - shoulda mentioned these are all B&M bar the voyagers!

 

Would anyone here have any use for these MP12G Stickers and accessories? I believe they are from a KO version but if anyone can make use of them a fiver plus postage makes them yours.

 

wanna sell me a BP and a FD?

 

What? Me? Tweaking again?

Yeah, I'm a tweaker.

Mr. Metal Color gold with a clear yellow topcoat, apparently with a bit of staining from the gold Sharpie previously on the wee lion face, hence it's a we bit darker, and the stock orange is so bright you can barely tell I broke out my trusty paint pin to give it the G1 red eyes. Not full G1 though as just the tiny face makes the rest of the head crest look more mane-like rather than the weird central fin look of the original G1 version.
Shame there isn't a decently-garish TR animal alt. bod for him, really. Where's a bright yellow or orange KO of Alpha Trion when you need him?

 

Sinister by Brendan Mitchell, on Flickr

I got Mr Sinister in the post via Amazon this afternoon and think he's a decent addition to my lineup of X-verse villains.

 

I'll have to see who owns what and whether I'm taking any but I'll let you know!

@bcm77 I have him, great figure!

 

Yeah, he's got a great presence about him, he definitely lives up to his name!

I also think they did a decent job with keeping the double cape as light as possible otherwise it'd have been way harder to stand him up.

 

Sure, I’m in no hurry. Just want them to repaint into Fracas and Hairsplitter (because Aimless is so hard to find I don’t even have one to display as himself).

 

Only a tenner in Lidl. Hope I don’t regret it!

 

Love Sinister, like a zombified Rocky Horror superfan.

 

Hasbros John warden said last year when cliff was first shown at comic con that a if a bumblebee was later down the line he won’t be a retool of Cliffjumper as they wanted each to have their own distinct look.
It might be the case though that they share parts in places though looking at them square shoulders in the pic of Bumblebee

Did they have any others at all, might snag one on the next shop

 

Sunday evening roll call:

“Can I see a show of hands...”

“New guy put your hand down.”
