    I should have no trouble doing some minor mods, I think I'm well used to it by now. I'm already eyeing changing his Decepticon insignia to cartoon ones ;) 

    Loud Pedal looks pretty sweet, especially that purple glass against the glossy black. I think you could also have a lot of fun with him in your comics - did you read his bio?

    Soundwaves Oblivion: Transformer Toy Archive: Masterpiece Loudpedal MP-25L

    He's actually a musician and the Microchange Blaster is his 'portable media playback device'. He even has a backstory with Exhaust.
    I understand that you'd like toon characters to come first, though :thumb 

    Yeah, I'm well prepared for handling the MP-11 mould, I know of its floppiness, of its looseness, and its difficulty in posing the legs just right, but I still kinda missed it hah.

    Since I stopped at Ramjet I also look forward to seeing how TT finished off the Coneheads. I know a V3 Starscream doesn't automatically guarantee Coneheads, so these guys could very well be the best we ever get. Their faces and the new parts they made (the hips, the shins) to make them more toon accurate are certainly a nice touch. They never had a whole lot of characterisation, it'll just be nice to have some background Decepticon grunts.

    I don't know if I'd pick up the Insecticons, but I'd definitely love to see Reflector, and it's great to see him get some love in the Siege line.


    Anyway, not picking up Cordon, so my next pre-order is finally the ultimate repaint of this beast:

    Can't wait :bay

    I just got the original Prowl with Reprolabels and the missile launchers. May as well add to the love for this figure! I used to have Smokescreen, still a great mold. 20181012_103427~2.jpg 20181012_104426~2.jpg 20181012_104326~2.jpg 20181012_105317~2.jpg

    Love how you put him through his paces here Sam.

    It’s a real testament to the talented Hasui that this figure remains so relevant (and capable) this many years down the line.

    You'll love Thrust, no doubt Sam. Great colors, beautiful face. Can't wait to see him flying through the air on your photos once in hand... because he's being hit by Optimus Prime v3 indeed. :D

    Well thought out bio. I can see some humourous situations coming out of these two and Exhaust’s love/hate relationship with Road Rage, at least in my comic universe. I don’t have a hard stance against him but he doesn’t fit in my current plans. I have thought about buying him on occasion so if the lull becomes too much...

    Thought I'd take some pics of some little good guys too! The Bumblebee mold still looks decent. I just wish Takara would announce and release some other G1 minibot characters!
