    One of my first customs. A great figure and one i think I'll remaster since I'm still waiting on paint for other customs to arrive. I do regret chopping his gun off all those years ago, but it does give him a nice flatter silhouette. IMG_20200811_120607.jpg

    I usually buy in a big litre bottle which I then decant into a tub when needed for soaking. It evaporates quite quickly so a lid is good

    Hasfaff UK also cancelled the domestic release of the Astro and Ground patrol (I think that’s what the Decepticon cars for wave 2 are called?) but Kapow and ID are importing, maybe they’ll do the same for these dudes? I have them already from Siege but annoyed that they’re coming with map parts, I’ve given up on trying to put it together.

    Yes, certain paints. I used it to strip the paint off my CW Bruticus head, can't remember how long it soaked for, maybe half an hour? Then used an old toothbrush to scrub it away, needed a couple dunks to get into all the nooks and crannies.

    I say certain paints because it only worked on some of the battle damage on my siege figures. Starscreams arms and Apeface's shins didn't seem to budge. But for any time I've needed to remove paint its been a godsend.

    I've got my fings crossed Hasbro drop a digital completed collation of the Maps for the line End, like all the Siege codes unlocked the (underwhelming after Bumblebee the Movies perfect Live Action(-ish) depiction of Cybertron) poster/map of Cybertron.

    I'm a little biased as I love the character, but he looks almost like he walked off the sunbow cartoon. So @Seeaich should be happy :) 

    Yeah - I can see why people do it but I fear things get a bit lost in translation sometimes when they bounce around other sites and back again.

    Kills me that America can't shift these things and everywhere else wants them and can't get them!

    This is vital info. By Soak, do you dunk the whole piece into the alcohol?

    It is Siege Sideswipe I want to de-colour, so this could prove important. I'm qutie excited to give this a go

    Oh, I'm not slavishly 'toon, in fact I think exactly the 'toon in toy form can look a bit naff (see a lot of the latter Masterpieces) but Warden Era Hasbro have for the most part usually hit the sweet spot between 'toon & G1 toys, or at least not overly-compromised alt modes and/or transformations (yes, I AM looking at you again latter MPs!), and as I believe you hinted elsewhere "Shields up!" as it were is entirely forgivable if "Clementine" is in her right place. ;)

    Awww, a shield? That makes him a deluxe. Let’s hope it’s the big slab at the rear of the tank, over where the engine would be. Are core classes actually confirmed?

    My thoughts exactly, friend! I’ll only be happy if this a proper, real world Sheridan. I don’t think they’ll de-gun him, seeing as they’re aiming for accuracy. If they do remove the chest gun, you’ll know because I’ll probably throw a strop.

    Ooohhhh, I wonder if that means he has his proper Sheridan tank mode? A legend sized warpath that looks the part and with his sheridan tank mode? I may have to bite on that. Don't want him toon slavish, but something like ER Prime, ciffjumper or starscream is spot on for me. Not mp levels of toonish, but close enough with just a nice bit of extra detailing to make them look like real characters.

    Partsforming is fine as long as it gets integrated properly in both modes, like Cliffjumper. Not like Arcee. Hmmm, never thought I'd get excited by a new warpath of all people.

    This new Warpath is sounding pretty tasty.

    It's a live stream with voice actors, comic writers etc among others.


    Gave Spinister a spare targetmaster made of spare parts and Pinpointer from the Netflix megs. Because fuck getting the Skywarp pack and I've never seen Singe available.

    Gunship.
