I used to force myself to put their weapon in their left hand since I'm right handed, it wasn't first nature to think of it.

The ratio of lefties is higher than in our society amongst transformers in my collection!

 

Lol, that's hilarious! It's funny how we tend to do that, also guilty of this!

 

Cool pics!

 

I have and provide these

 

Here is a display with some custom flight stands

 

Here are some with clear bases

 

Those are some incredible stands.  How tall can the Seeker stands be?

 

Did a quick review TCC Ratbat: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1066426-tcc-crossover-set-ratbat.html

 

Some pics of the 2005 crew. We still need a few more bots!











And i had to do this one...

 

I've mde them 12 to 14 inches tall

 

No one who knows?

 

Nice! Nel Yomtov colouring in spectacular 3-D! I can't wait for Comic colour Ratbat. He just needs a purple MP Soundwave to go with him.

You just reminded me that still I need MP-8X. Damn my empty wallet.

 

Lots of great photos as always!

Primeconvoy1 - I'm loving your group shots.

Maz - great review as always. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has paint chipping and flaking on Ratchet (an otherwise superb figure) - although, obviously I'm not glad for you.  

I've really come to like MP-28 over the past week. He's really grown on me. I was really lukewarm to him at first: the QC issues were a pain (although a clear coat sorted out the chrome) - and I'm still a bit disgruntled that I cannot get him to roll - but also I was a little disappointed with the face sculpt, as it doesn't really evoke Hot Rod from the movie or cartoons for me. However, having got used to it and taking it on its own terms (it's a nice face sculpt even if it's not movie Hot Rod), I've started to like the whole figure more and more, so that he's on his way to becoming one of my favourites, I think. No mean feat given how much I like the Ironhide/Ratchet and Shockwave moulds, let alone classics like Bumblebee, Ultra Magnus and Sideswipe. But I love how he can pull some real poseur poses...

 

I'm totally in the same boat, especially regarding the face sculpt. Definitely won't hesitate to buy a more movie accurate looking head if it's ever made, but the current face has also grown on me after disliking it for so long. It looks a lot better in hand. The things in love about him the most are the double jointed knees and elbows. If he had a more accurate face then he would be my fav.

 

MP On the Rocks II 4126




Starscream: Ha! Ha! Ha! The Autobots are stuck between a bunch of rocks and a hard place!


Starscream: As for you Shockwave, even though Megatron has placed you in charge of this project, you will do best to remember that I am stILL SECOND IN COMMAND OF THE DECEPTICON ARMY!


Shockwave: Spare my audio receptors of your ranting. It is a waste of energy. Megatron.
Megatron: Proceed Shockwave.
Shockwave: Preliminary test successful. We are now prepared to initiate a full scale energon transmission to Cybertron.
Megatron: Excellent. Cybertron will be ready to receive your transmission within two thousand astro-minutes.
Shockwave: We wll be ready Megatron. Shockwave out.










Ironhide: What a mess. I can't believe they're buried under all that rubble.
Prowl: Their distress beacons are very faint.
Ratchet: I can't even begin to think of the repairs I'll need to make.
Ironhide: According to my sonadar sensors, they're still alive in there.
Prime: Sideswipe, activate your pile drivers and start chipping away at these rocks. Autobots, help him. We need to get them out quickly.








Sunstreaker: These rocks are scuffing up my new paint job.
Sideswipe: If you would move your hands as fast as your mouth, we'd be done by now.




Bumblebee: Thanks guys. Spike, are you okay?
Spike: Yeah thanks to you Bumblebee. I thought we'd never get out from under all of that rock. I'm glad you guys are okay.


Ratchet: Yeah, but Bluestreak's arm is in drastic need of repair. I better get to work.


Wheeljack: I'll look over Bumblebee.
Bumblebee: I'm okay Wheeljack. Everything's fine.
Wheeljack: I'll be the judge of that. With your luck so far, you'll drive off and loose all four wheels.


Prime: What did you guys see on top of the cliff Spike?
Spike: Some weird looking tower that was shooting energy into the sky. We were about to check it out and then Laserbeak spotted us.
Prime: I see.


Prowl: So the Decepticons are behind it. But why build something to shoot energy into the sky?
Prime: I don't know Prowl but we're going to find out.






Soundwave: Cybertron is now in position to receive energy transmitted from Earth.
Shockwave: Proceed Soundwave. According to my calculations, we will be able to replenish our reserve stores once we begin.


Scrapper: Starscream, I took the liberty of telling Mixmaster, Scavenger and Bonecrusher to return to base.
Starscream: It's just as well...


Starscream: ...it's not as if the Autobots have discovered where we are with their scout team buried under tons of rubble.


Starscream: The Earth will be a lifeless ball of space rock once we transmit all of it's energy to Cybertron.


Ramjet: By the fires of Polyhex!
Thundercracker: AUTOBOTS!


Starscream: Optimus Prime!
Prime: Megatron having you do his dirty work Starscream?
Starscream: Shockwave's spearheading this project!
Prime: Glad to hear Megatron's finally rethinking his command structure!




Shockwave: For the future of Cybertron, you must be destroyed Optimus Prime!
Prowl: Freeze Shockwave!


Soundwave: Shockwave! We must...
Shockwave: No Soundwave. We must complete the transfer process.


Sideswipe: These silly jets should know that they work better in the air!
Sunstreaker: Who are you kidding? We have no plans on giving these airheards flight clearance!
Thundercracker: You Autobot punks! Just wait til we get up. We'll show you!
Sideswipe: The day you do that is the day the Decepticons come up with a plan that works.
Sunstreaker: Yeah! It's not like you guys have an impressive track record!


Prowl: Stay right there Starscream! I have you covered!
Starscream: Reflector is right. You do have screws loose!


Shockwave: He'll also have to reboot himself. Get up Starscream. Decepticons, retreat!


Thundercracker: Braggarts! Let's take off Ramjet!
Ramjet: About time you got off us Autobots! My revenger list is getting longer with each encounter!


Ironhide: You know Sunstreaker, I'm getting mighty tired of watching the Decepticons retreat while on my back.








Prime: Have you two figured out how to shut this thing off? We have to stop the transfer of Earth's energy to Cybertron.
Wheeljack: We could try to rewire the junction box and reverse the polarity.
Ratchet: Or we could rig up a power dampener and short out the capacitors.
Prime: We need a solution and fast!


Spike: Why not just smash it? That's what dad does whenever he gets mad at something. You know, like Fred Flintstone style.


Prime: Not a bad idea Spike!


Wheeljack: Amazing. So simple, it works.
Ironhide: Like Spike said, sometimes stone-age remedies work.


Bluestreak: Speaking of stones, looks like another one of Megatron's plans have hit the rocks.


All: BLUESTREAK!!!!
Bluestreak: Zoinks!

 

Fantastic work 539, also way to show off all the autobots' accessories.

 

@Agent 539---> Too awesome!!!  I also loved how your cat photobombed some of the scenes!!! 

 

That was great, 539! It illustrates that we need a MP Sunstreaker stat!

EDIT: By the way, does anyone know what the official name of those Conductor rods are on eBay? I remember one poster had a bunch of them displayed with Wheeljack and Bumblebee, but that was a long time ago, and the post is probably WAY down in the bowels of this thread by now.
