    Wow that looks amazing! I still want a Nitro Zeus despite having the KSI as i do like a gray version with the proper head. Great stuff, this is such an underrated mold. Someday i'd like to do one in Shockwave's colors. For now, here is my deskbot for the day... PXL_20210524_175355685.jpg

    Yes studio series 54 Megatron is so underrated in my opinion. He's definitely my favorite Megatron figure to date and I definitely wish he had better accessories. The ones you mentioned would definitely be nice of DNA designs made them

    I would be interesting I guess

    I and many others would definitely appreciate human figures. I'm kind of surprised they haven't given us a good amount of human figures to be honest.

    If I were to choose which characters in the studio series get upgrades I would pick Ratchet, SS49 Bumblebee, Starscream, Dino and Lockdown.

    I'd want ratchet to have accurate looking submachine guns and possibly a better backpack attachment?

    The only thing Dino needs is better looking blades obviously.

    Bumblebee in my opinion needs a proper looking gun and maybe a battle hammer?

    Lockdown would be given some steeljaws, his face gun, the seeds, his rifle perhaps?

    I was rearranging my closet earlier and saw this guy in his box tucked away in the corner. What a cool little figure. Thought I’d take him out for a pic. Toaster in front of a toaster. 748EE551-A8C7-4E47-B3FC-7491C3AAD998.jpeg

    To add to SS-49, the shoulder rocket launchers. DNA designs included them, but they're too small IMO.

    Yes, I thought he could use an open hand to be more expressive.

    Thanks! I thought so too.

    Normal right arm for ROTF Megatron and more missing weapons from DOTM Optimus.

    DOTM Megatron still had his ROTF arsenal? Was this in the DOTM game because I'm sure he didn't have that in DOTM the movie.

    Thanks, I wanted to get KSI Boss to bolster my KSI drone collection which isn't a lot.

    Yeah, it’s not in the movie. But in both the DOTM game and the ride at Universal he has his DOTM body with the ROTF murder arm.

    Actually they looked in my bag on the way in and didn't say anything about the weird robot in my bag :D  And there isn't security in every room, and they wouldn't say anything unless you were actually touching things. There are actually little alarms that go off if you get too close to the paintings and things. The temple of Dendur (the area from the pic below) is open for people to walk around and go inside.

    Nice stack extensions! Did you do those yourself? I'm sorry if you've mentioned it already. SS-32/44 is such an amazing figure, despite some flaws. I really appreciate that they incorporated so much posability, which is the main killer of my interest in a figure in the long run. If it's a brick then I'll lose interest fast, but I still mess with SS-32/44 almost every day.
    Do you mean figures who haven't already gotten upgrade kits? Cause that list is much shorter since DNA and several other companies (and random people on ebay from china) have done lots of upgrades.
    That doesn't make any sense cause he got that arm ripped off...

    Was reading a youtuber's rumor about a minor detail about the future of a Studio Series Onslaught. Don't know if I should share it because it's still an unconfirmed rumor. It's not rumors about the figure, it's about production.

    I guess so, but it does look cool xD

    After several failed 3D prints, I had a successful attempt! Check out my new Allspark!

    Despite some flaws, SS-44 kinda feels like The "Movie Optimus Prime" toy that I always wanted since I began taking an interest in Transformers during the ROTF days as a kid.

    IMG_20210524_220518.jpg

    Sure they are other Movie Optimus Prime toys out there but for some reason, they always seem off for me (Even with the highly regarded ROTF Leader class figure, my childhood self still think something looks very off about how I think he should look like, and that figure was still undeniably a bit of a "brick" that can't be played with all that much).

    This toy here....... it's not perfect, but damn this figure is that Movie Optimus Prime toy that my younger self always wanted; I do glad that I can get a chance to get one.

    I chalk it up to, he reclaimed the arm or weapon back after the battle. Makes more sense than AOE Bee getting the muder claw.

    Besides, the murder claw is not even the worst offender the ride has to the original trilogy's continuity.

    The rumor was that it was originally suppose to be a Leader Class with a Mohawk figure. But then that idea was scrapped because they wanted to make a proper Mohawk figure. They figure that it won't be released till like 2023.
