    Nope, it's not like I'm smacking it with an EMP pulse or anything...
    I also meant to shoot Sunstreaker for you :)

    Not unless the phone is on, and even then, unlikely.


    Booyotch, can you do a study as to how the different surfaces show up on x-ray, given areas of similar thickness? How does the normal plastic compare to painted plastic, or chromed plastic, or the chrome decals over the plastic? How does the plastic of G1 show up compared to modern plastics?

    Do you have any figures with gold plastic? How do the metallic particles show up on x-ray? How far can you magnify your images?

    This needs to be a regular for the "Let's see some cool stuff" thread.

    Thanks for sharing these, Booyotch. And they're not just interesting to look at -- they're actually helpful and useful for a customizer. You can see where all the connections and screws are before you start trying to take it apart.

    Omega Supreme just made me wet myself!

    That is awesome!

    Boxed Prime is cool too, because you can see the inside trailer bot.

    I like how well the bulb shows up in Omega's head. He's just had an idea. :p

    Why Sunstreaker? It's not Sunstreaker on my signature, it's Tigertrack! :)

    We don't speak of that...

    Yeah, have plans to do more. Alot of the figures i don't think will translate well. it'll be just half metal shadow, and a little plastic. But there will be more...

    Any suggestions for anything? Remember, I don't have newer ones, but anything that's 14"x17" is fair game... And it doesn't have to be a TF.
