    Still more to do before a proper showcase, and definitely need to work on the lighting but here's more of a sneak peak.

    Yeah, Just a subtle re-paint and a couple of minor Mods with a drill. I'll do a write up on radicons when I get around to it.
    Need to do a Pointblank now but not sure who the donor body will be.

    Maybe Titans Return Blurr without the hood/shield piece?

    this is great...never had sureshot as a kid but have been wanting a modern one since T30 Scoop was announced in 2013-2014. I thought then “man if we are doing dual target masters, surely, sureshot, crosshairs, and point blank would be just around the corner.” Couldn’t have been more wrong. It wouldn’t be till 2019 when we got a CHUG crosshairs...and we are still waiting on a sureshot and point blank. Meanwhile, in addition to scoop, we got all the regular decepticon target masters in titans return (albeit sans Targetmasters in the USA) an official quake, a club needlenose and spinister...and a main line spinister. And mainline targetmasters.

    2021 will be here before we know it. Still no sureshot, point blank, quickmix, or landfill. Evidently Autobot Targetmasters are getting the shaft.

    Overused already but not a bad idea.

    So "motherfucking" Earth Rise Optimus Prime. They got me. I have never been much of a Hasbro fan. I wish they would make all their figures with the same love. Anyways, here is why I like ER OP:
    He scales with Perfect effect Magnus!

    I gave him the Second Chance trailer which was designed for Evasion prime. It's perfect in my opinion, plus I have drilled some 5mm holes so the trailer becomes an arsenal. Its awesome with all those 5 mm ports he's got!

    I've given this fellow short shrift when comparing him to yer Lord Zarek, and while that's not totally unfair I cannot deny his moody sulkbot charms.

    I've always felt that this figure has a lot of character and is very expressive pose-wise, it's just hampered by a lack of paint apps to break up all that purple.

    That Ultra Magnus is from the Perfect Effect third party upgrade kit.
    Edit: At least I think so.

    Ok i was late in the game getting back in to TF & missed out on CW devastator so I looked for him & he is 200+ so I’m looking for a good KO 3rd party for a good price but not sure on what one to get ? Is this close to the CW one? Thanks for any help! D09150D5-BDCF-428D-881A-19277E20B3B7.png

    The trailer is the combiner wars mold, the cab is Perfect Effect PC-17 Core Magnus, and upgrade cab/figure that can combine with the trailer. This cab was also knocked off by KBB

    This is downsized to match the height of standard CW combiners. It's popular with those who think there official version shouldn't be that big. I think people who have it report the plastic is ok but not quite Hasbro quality. I don't know if any other KOs of CW Devastator, but there are plenty of non-CW ones.
