    Got my Encore Big Convoy “Slammoth Prime” in, and wow. I own Universe Nemesis Prime, but this figure just goes to show that proper colors can really bring out the best of a figure.

    Pretty sure you're right. Seeing as that is a parody of an actual quote from Megatron in Beast Machines.

    That's the shop. But the one you want is the double-sided disk with hole: Voyager Golden Record Double sided metal full size replica | Etsy

    2 different finishes for the disk are available, glossy (mirror finish) gold and matte gold. While glossy gold would have been more accurate to the show and real life, I went with matte as taking photos of it would have been an absolute nightmare. The matte one is also far easier to handle and clean as fingerprints don't really show up on it.

    Thank you! It is indeed quite expensive, and I've been wanting to get one for a good number of years but just only bit the bullet after getting some extra funds. I was rather nervous ordering from Etsy, but it turned out phenomenal!

    Are there any smaller golden disc replicas that would scale with WFC figures? My Kingdom Megatron is using a car wash token at the moment.

    The only one that comes to mind is the old Unicron.com set. It’s an older kit but has popped up from time to time over the years. BBTS had some in stock not all that long ago. Not sure what it’s going for now though.

    Edit: Looks like it’s no longer in stock at bbts but here’s the listing with picks and how it looks with the old TM Megatron.

    One of my favorite sets! I used to pose Dinobot in contemplative disdain holding the disc high above his head while kinda kneeling.
