    Wow! I need to get one TLK Optimus one of these days.

    Out of UT-02, BS-03 OSKO, 3Zero DLX and 3A Premium, which one you feel the best?

    Personally my favorite is BS-03, but mine is customized with a new head and skirt and paint ink wash etc. but the DLX is the most fun to mess with, but of course it doesn’t transform!

    Inspired by this post, I finally got ER and SS86 Arcee. :D 

    I decided to get ER Arcee after I found there was an upgrade kit for it. It's also pretty cheap now.

    From left to right: ER, NA, SS86, LG, Dr Wu, MP (KO).

    20221204_081222.jpg

    All of them have undergone 'plastic surgery', some more than others. :p 

    Not pictured: Zeta, FansToys.

    Of the three CHUG Arcee, if unaltered, SS86 is the best of them, though the pink is a little pale.

    If altered, ER looks the best.

    But that's only because there is no upgrade kit for SS86 yet. I want all the waffles to be filled in, plus a decent backpack.

    Update: I now have 8 Arcee, making it the most of a single character in my collection.

    Sounds like it's was unintentional and not actually your most favorite character.

    I have a similar deal with Smokescreen.

    It's intentional. :D 

    Arcee is not my fav character, but it is one of the few characters I will buy again and again, provided it is G1 enough. Another is Brawl for its tank mode.

    I have more Arcee than other characters cos the CHUG figures are 'clean' enough. Most CHUG figures don't appeal to me.

    Another shot with 3 semi-complete car shells. Arcee is a Pretender. :D 

    If there's one Arcee I want to get rid of, it would be LG-10. It paved the way for SS86, but SS86 looks better to me (once waffles are filled in).

    I may actually agree. Not positive if I like dlx or bs-03 better, but it’s much closer than I ever would have expected. Bs-03 just might edge out the dlx.

    Hasbro’s Tarn compared to the transforming third-party figures. It’s surprisingly decent. Wondering how Hasbro will handle a transforming electric chair.

    So I have five different versions of Blowpipe, but I didn't have them all present at the same time so here's some photos:

    Mastershooter Pipe Blower, Shapeways RoGunner Blowpipe and Takara Legends Blowpipe.

    G1 Blowpipe, Mastershooter Pipe Blower, Legends Blowpipe and Siege Blowpipe.

    ArtTek Rex Blaster and Matrix Workshop M-28 Stunner Lasers for Voyager sized Grimlocks.

    Both guns are inspired by the gun that came with G1 Grimlock, have 5mm grips and are sized to fit Voyager sized toys.

    The Rex Blaster is a bit wider and made from cast resin. The M-28 is a bit longer, 3d printed and features a 5mm hole for combining it with other guns for Combiner fun.
