    Trypticon is the perfect size for an MP Gigastorm

    Spend some extra time on the budget, pump up articulation a little, and we've got ourselves an MP Gigastorm. Release along side Galvatron and you've got a wining combination.

    i like the way the Buzzworthy beasts
    go with TM2 Megs. Similar color scheme (red, purple, black, gold), all with monstrous details. Sort of like a demonic subgroup of Predacons

    Out of all TF history, I think BM stands the most to gain from some new figures. The OG Vehicons are still some of my favorite figures to this day. Newer, larger and more detailed figures would be great. Even new Maximals which fix the major design flaws of the old molds would be neat to see.

    Following my prior post, I've been working on Primal's body but that's not ready to show yet. But I took a break to try and replicate the spark effect. It's not done yet either, still needs more detail on the inside (missing the pulsing spheres/lights), but here's a short gif of where I am with that so far.

    From what I remember, it is. I believe base mold is Kingdom Jhiaxus? One in the front middle looks like a heavy custom as well, with the base mold looking to be Legacy Bomb-Burst.

    Middle front and back are customs from Bomb-burst and Jiahaxus.

    Here's some additional progress this morning on the Beast Wars spark effect.
    I think it's like 90% of the way there now, still need to add another effect to the core area and additional overall tweaking.

    I got my youngest the Optimus Primal reissue for Christmas when it was on clearance a few months ago. I remember seeing it when I was a kid, and thinking "wow, this is lame, all he does is stand up to transform, hurr durr"; kid me was a moron. What an awesome toy, they don't make toys like this for kids anymore. Dude is a gorilla that has weapons popping out of every orifice, & that transformation is so simple and fun. Whenever my kid puts him down, I can't stop messing with him.
