    Later on...

    20210626_125412_HDR~3.jpg "You really came through Starscream! I just KNEW there was a reason I hadn't reduced you to molten slag!!"

    "But Optimus Prime will not be so lucky. So... Any last words Prime?!"
    20210626_130616_HDR~2.jpg "None you'd want to hear Megatron."

    "Knock Knock!!! The door was open so we let ourselves in!!"
    20210626_131447_HDR~2.jpg "Dinobots, destroy the Decepticons while I rescue Optimus!!"

    "Autobots.. Here?!? STARSCREAM!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!"
    20210627_120951_HDR~2.jpg "ATTAACCKK!!!!"

    "Me GRIMLOCK munch on Megatron!!"
    20210626_133214_HDR~2.jpg "Get OFF ME you unworthy PRIMITIVE!!"

    "Slag Impale Megatron!!"
    20210626_133743_HDR~2.jpg
    "UUNNNNGGGHHHHH!!!!"

    "I knew having Swoop trail Starscream would lead us back to where Megatron was keeping the Autobots. We just didn't expect to find you here Prime!"
    20210626_134523_HDR~2.jpg "The other Autobots are being held here. I tried to infiltrate the Decepticons Headquarters to mount a rescue, but was blindsided by Starscream."

    "Thank you for freeing me Wheeljack. Smart thinking as always. Now we can rescue the others."
    20210626_135201_HDR~2.jpg "That's the idea Optimus!! Lets go save our friends!!"

    And so Optimus Prime and Wheeljack exit stage-left while the Dinobots work over Megatron and the other Decepticons.

    Save the war stories, hot shot. Just remember, there's a thin line between being a hero...and being a memory.

    Such heroic nonsense.

    Liberation Day... or Independence Day

    20210704_110353_HDR~2.jpg "So that's where they're holding the Autobots. I think I have an idea for how we can take out Soundwave and Shockwave."

    "Look at that idiot Blaster! What a second-rate Soundwave!"
    20210704_105425_HDR~2.jpg "Heh.. You ain't so tough NOW, are you Blaster. What about you, Jazz?! Yer taste in music SUCKS!"

    "Frenzy, or Rumble?! Whoever you are? I like to gesticulate when having a discussion. So why don't you remove these inhibitor bindings and we can discuss your opinions further?!"
    20210704_105618_HDR~2.jpg "Frenzy.. Rumble.. Do not engage the prisoners. Our defenses have been breached. There could be intruders anywhere."

    "Hey guys! Wheeljack here from ADT Security Consultancy Services. I wanted to talk to you about a security package that we offer which might.."
    20210704_110939_HDR~2.jpg "INTRUDER ALERT. Apprehend the Autobot."

    "Not Today!! Its Liberation Day!!"
    20210704_112039_HDR~2.jpg "OOOOOFFGH!!!"

    "I shall destroy you Optimus Prime!!"
    20210704_113537_HDR~2.jpg "I think not Shockwave."

    "AAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!"
    20210704_115324_HDR~2.jpg "Are you malfunctioning? Your logic sensors should be telling you to stay down Shockwave."

    "It was smart of you to turn over your weapon, Soundwave. I'm not in the mood for any of your stoic attitude."
    20210704_115614_HDR~2.jpg "As for you Frenzy... I've always wanted to do THIS."

    "Good job Wheeljack. Now to free the Autobots."
    20210704_120312_HDR~2.jpg "Right on Prime. I'll keep my eyes on these guys."

    "Today is your Independence Day, Autobots!! Let's make these Decepticons regret the day they ever thought they could capture us!!"
    20210704_120638_HDR~2.jpg "Thanks for the rescue Prime!!"

    "The Dinobots have been working over Megatron and the other Decepticons. Let's give them a hand!!"
    20210704_123338_HDR~2.jpg

    And so we learned that using simple distraction techniques, Optimus Prime and Wheeljack were able to successfully confuse and ambush the Decepticons, thus freeing the Autobots from Decepticon captivity.

    But how have the Dinobots been faring?! That's a story for another post.

    Happy 4th to those in the States!! :bday 

    To those in the UK, would it be alright if we just pretended 1776 never happened so I can be a UK citizen?! I promise to never speak ill of the Queen!! :D

    This pair reminds me a bit of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

    Finally... The Sweeps!!!

    And it only took a quarter of a year to get them.

    SAL took 90 days to get here (the States, eastcoast) from Show.Z-land. Not sure if it was really worth the savings, seeing as how TF $ource now has the Swarm 3-Pack on sale for $379.00.

    But... at least my Andras finally has his crew!!

    Your order was likely among the last transactions before ShowZ switched to a new free shipping option that is now much faster (about 2 weeks). Plus with ShowZ there's no sales tax.
    My Aegis was delivered last week and it took about 15 days for shipping.

    Beeyooteeful. Don't forget you didn't pay tax, like you would have at tfs. Now that you have them, it probably doesn't matter as much, but... :)

    The shin covers will close, too... if you want :)  iirc, they're sort of hinged so you have to wiggle them... but they will close almost completely.

    True!!

    And I tried to get Jeff Bezos to cover the tax, but he said "Dude... I don't even pay my own. Good luck."

    TAX-THE-RICH.jpg TAX-THE-RICH (1).jpg

    So I guess my version of a Swiss bank account in the Caymen Islands is ordering a few 3P figures from overseas. LOL?

    Anyhoo... I waited this long for my XTB Swarm... might as well make the most of each post!

    20210716_132232_HDR~2.jpg

    ...Once again with feeling.. *ahem* I mean FT Sovereign!!

    20210716_133005_HDR~2.jpg

    Definitely gonna need a bigger surface if I want to include Quietus in the mix.
