    Shared this in the Unicron thread, but I thought this would be a good spot too!

    I recently started redoing my middle display to highlight 1984 figures and the 1986 Movie….

    This mostly started as I replaced figures with “better” versions in my main display and wanted to use them somewhere…

    I’m waiting on my oversized Megatron to replace Apollyon and I have a few other tweaks in mind to add a Galvatron in cannon mode blasting Starscream and possibly a Scourge (hoping people will unload their Andras when FT is out) … but here’s where we’re at as of this morning :D

    This is the best collection I’ve ever seen. Just, period. Between the Diaclone shelf, little displays like Skywarp turning into Cyclonus, and older toys still getting love and use after being “replaced,” the level of care shown here is just amazing. Bravo.

    That collection and display are fantastic! Very impressive!

    (I'm not a Rodimus fan, but is that MP figure with the red legs a Hasbro/TR Us version of MP-9? I don't think I've ever seen that before, but I'm surprised at how much I like it in the toy colors.)

    Appreciate the kudos!! I put a lot of time and love into my displays so I’m glad that comes across! :D 

    Yes! That’s the Hasbro release … I’m still waiting on a better Rodimus to use in my main display, but I figured this would work here … plus, I had both TT Hotrod releases (since I use FT in my main display) so I was able to kinda mirror the Cyclonus transformation with just “extra” figures I had around.

    Nice pic :thumb 

    Question about the red knees. Paint or stickers, and if stickers, which one?


    Although I pre-ordered FT/RP Acoustic Wave because I always hated MP-13's hip joints and AW has a toy option, I'm feeling it less and less. So I'm considering sticking with MP-13 and making him more toy accurate. Making the knees red is one of those changes.

    I used an ocean dry rub set throughout. The red knee stickers are noticeably better on the ocean set versus the toyhax set.
