    easy to say that when someone had 5 or so months to look it over go through trial and error and specially figure out a problem that’s not a problem.

    Doing this also negates the 5mm port on his back that all WFC figures have and that port is intended to be used with the Weaponizer/micromaster base figures for them to combine with. Can you take off the car part and still attach something? Yes which in the end still makes him parts form.

    I want multiple Ironworks to make an outpost/base. My son wants to make Slenderworks instead:

    Does anyone else want the Autobot Clones to get reissued also since we're getting the Decepticons. I've been trying to see if there are any other listings that we don't know about but outside of the Amazon two pack, which might be a conehead two pack, I've got nothing.

    if they’re doing the cons they’ll probably do the autobot clones too. Won’t be a listing because they will more than likely be in part 3

    Good god Scorponok is a literal dream come true. I can't wait to finally have the two titans clash! It's even better that they made Fasttrack.

    I'm not collecting Micromasters either, but I feel differently about Modulators.

    When I bought my first Ironworks it was a real "Flaming Homer" moment.
    I thought "it's not without its charm" but it was just okay.

    I bought a second one, because I wanted to try replicating the artwork on Ironworks' packaging, and that's when it caught fire for me, so to speak.

    20200523_114511.jpg

    Expanding the floorplan, adding more ramps and using the second crane as a block of machinery really improved the Construction Station mode in every way.

    I didn't want to wreck what I had already improved, so I added a third Ironworks to be an adjoining Comms Tower.

    I've re-purposed part of Cyberverse Spark Armor Battle Class Shockwave's satellite armour to be my "nobucks" radar array. I think I'm going to buy at least one Shockwave Lab SL-75, to have a dedicated radar for Ironworks, but I think my nobucks solution works a treat.

    20200523_114712.jpg

    I look forward to expanding from here with a bunch of Soundbarrier roads (that go nowhere, yet) and maybe creating an upward curved runway for launching ships into space (like the one used to launch the Blue Earth in the '90's anime Tekkaman Blade.)

    Even without any Micromasters, I'm having a ball with these Modulators!

    Was there ever an explanation given for why the gap between wave 1 and wave 2 is so long? Can’t blame covid; the dates were announced before all that shit hit the fan.

    I'm not sure if anybody asked for this, but I did a thing.

    20200523_122101.jpg

    I think I'm just a G1 tragic - whenever I see an excavator scoop or a crane boom I just see spring green and Decepticon violet.

    20200523_122122.jpg

    I'm thinking, after transforming him into a Comms Tower I should name him Hightower, after the tertiary Constructicon.

    20200523_120111.jpg

    Yep, another fine use of the nobucks radar array.

    Hah! You can tell where both Walmart and Hasbro's plans go... Cyberverse is barely in the pallet display by comparison. They know what sells and what doesn't and they weren't willing to go all-in across the board. lol
