    Never let logic get in the way of awesome.

    Also, looks like Megatron is hitting the sauce again. I wonder if it's the same Energon Wine Optimus drinks?

    I don't get all the heavy praise for Smokescreen. Is it just for the car mode? Every pic I see, I just can't get over how hideous that head is...

    Finally got around to using a Magic Eraser on Hoist and Siege Hound.

    Hound still isn't spotless due to all the nooks and crannies but Hoist no longer has those goofy faux-scratches that were tampo'd on to his chest and forearms.

    ER Optimus with the Dr. Wu Star Saber and Siege OP's axe. He's really fun to pose.

    That's basically what my research was telling me.

    Seems this conversation derailed the thread a little, but there is one more thing I'd like to say about it.

    I don't think Smokescreen and Bluestreak swapped names or toys.

    I can't find any evidence that Smokescreen was ever intended to be anything other than the blue and red racing datsun.

    This is conjecture of course, but I think the most likely scenario was that Bluestreak was originally intended to be the blue and grey datsun on the boxart and instructions.

    He was likely changed relatively close to release simply because someone thought he was too similar to Smokescreen (identical blue heads with yellow chevrons), which might confuse kids and harm the sales of both.


    Anyways, I love Bluestreak and I really hope I don't miss out on the ER one 'cause the Siege one ain't doin it for me anymore.

    Yup. It's like wet sanding since you're just causing microabrasians.

    So, here are those Shockwave Lab ramp.pieces as one large dual road.
    I really like them.

    Pro-tip: I bought a bag of 5mm computer spacers from Amazon ages ago. They are perfect for modding TF weapons, and work amazingly as ramp/road supports-

    My Brother had Skystalker. He was okay. Countdown was much better though in my opinion.
    A Ramjet. The guy who turns into a jet so he can ram things. I don't think it's ever worked.


    I haven't even seen one yet. I mean not at the top of my list, I have a budget.

    Really, Hasbro should have carried them over into Kingdom it seems.
    My last words in that situation would be "Eric Roberts was a better Master." It's a lie, but hopefully it'd piss him off.

    So there was something I realized. So let's see how your trivial knowledge of non Transformers Giant Robots is.
    One of these clearly has nothing in common with the others. Except it does. What is it?

    King Go Saurer's components are made out of a school. Thus he too is sometimes a building. Sadly the model kit can't do that.

    Also I just really wanted to take a picture of King Go Saurer with some TFs, but since I had to cover the table on my porch, I need to find a space big enough to really do anything.
