What a guy!

Thanks for the pointers. Something to consider.

 

The Cast of TronTV's "Only Tools & Turbofoxes" pay tribute:

"Rodders........Salute!"

RIP Boycie.

And I was only watching Him play the heavy for Peter Vaughn in the Sweeney yesterday.

 

They look amazing together!

 

Once you finish those, seasons 9 (called back to earth) 10 and 11 should be on the dave website too. I might do a rewatch of red dwarf. It's the perfect level of stupid and clever comedy. The red alert joke (not telling it here so not to spoil it) is right up there with del boy through the bar.

That last pic makes me hear conga music!


Er snapdragon has a jaw kit on his way. So if i swap apeface back to how he was woth a dual faced titan master for ape mode, then both horrorcons can have complete beast modes with the headmasters stood beside them. This pleases me, as it did irk me they couldn't be stood beside their beasts. I know it's g1 toy accurate but it defeated the point of having a little trainer person with the beast.

 

Like really friendly wreckers

 

No sideswipe chasis is safe in the hands of Robotmel! Looks really good

 

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, life has been busy - but just updated my Ark crew shelf. ER Mirage, Sideswipe and Ratchet are my newest acquisitions.

 

RIP to John Challis and also to Jimmy Greaves, one half of the greatest football TV show ever. Both legends in their own right  

@SJW,
Fair enough, I'd likely be in the same position were I an Arsenal fan as they're still in a post-Wenger hangover.

United won 2-1 with goals from Ronaldo and Lingard although an unexpected penalty save from De Gea right at the end also played a massive part in the result, nice to see something go right for him after the mistakes of the past few years.

Ronaldo now has 4 goals in 3 games since returning  

MFT Sharkticon enablement is getting stronger the more pics I see of them, I have a feeling I'll like Gnaw once I've freed him from his box but 3 of the TR mould oversized for just over £20 shipped isn't to be sniffed at.

 

Dude, I swear you either use a fog filter or have a fingerprint on your lense for your photos lol...

Absolutely fantastic group shot photo though..

 

Think I'm gonna start saving some toy deliveries for the weekend, Royal Mail are ruining my late childhood....

 

Anyone want the original Siege Sideswipe with the white blaster and rocket from the Kingdom version for £25?

I was going to turn him into Knockout but I don’t have the time.

 

@motorthing,
Another memorable turn for John Challis was as the henchman Scorby in the Tom Baker Dr Who classic "The Seeds of Doom" in which the main villain was played by Tony Beckley AKA Camp Freddy from the original version of "The Italian Job".

He was also a bread delivery man in at least one episode of "Open All Hours" but it's Boycie who he'll mostly be remembered for and rightly so because he was fantastic.

 

I love him! Do you hear me world?! I LOVE THIS LITTLE METAL JACKET POTATO!!!



But yeah, Slag is pretty great all around. The only downside is that one of his 'wings' is a bit loose in robot mode, coincidentally this is a flaw he shares with my SS'86 Grimlock.

 

"Me no understand, every time me activate Time Scanner it just show static scene from 1984 Heavy Metal War Incident?"

"Uh, sir, that is not a Time Scanner, it appears to be a ViewMaster, an ancient earth stereoscopic illusion toy?"

"So it be, Cadet, this last time I let Sludge do the packing! Good job you have them hawk eyes."

"Uh, My alt. mode, is actually an ea-"
"What me tell you, Cadet?"
*Sigh* "Only contradict the commanding officer if it directly effects the mission, sir."
"Good, now keep you hawk eyes peeled for Predacon Transtemporal Incursion!"

"Swoop right, parking in Bradford was bad idea."

 

I should be getting my SS86 Slag tomorrow.
Is anybody interested in getting it MISB and delivered for 52? It would ship on Tuesday morning.
(after the Ark, this is another preorder I forgot to cancel...)

 

Two likes. So, which of you wants the legs?

Inspired by @Q Prime, the above is a game changer for my rubbish pics at least. Houses up to a leader class figure and comes with different coloured backdrops. Only thing to note so far is I've had to use the flash to pick out silver, but that's been it. A different backdrop might actually sort that. There's even a porthole at the top you can use.

 

I was actually looking into it after you mentioned it first, but I would rather have one that can fit commanders/small-scale combiners, and the price (£50) is much less attractive compared to this one.

 

Photo bomb alert!

Opened this guy, lovely paint and nice and simple transformation. As other have said, a good improvement on TR but not sure about his ladies 80s style ruched ankle boots?!?  



I also opened my AUOP which I had been sat on for a few months, and felt compelled to set up this scene, bit morbid but it’s my display so  



This reorg meant I had reason to mess with my other 86 shelf so now…



And got the slag out for some action!



Lots needs to line up in transformation but it was fairly straightforward and I really like the way his chest compacts down in dino mode. Thinking about display options and this lead to this…



And this!



Very happy with the use of my Sunday afternoon!

 

Yup, I'll keep an eye out for one that'll accommodate commanders and up but it would definitely need to be much cheaper.
