    Big hugs buddy. Been feeling a bit drained myself lately. Change in the seasons, trouble sleeping, work. It takes it's toll.


    I found it a bit funny that Megatron was combiner obsessed in IDW, and they never made him one in the toyline. Who would you have as his limbs?

    Cheers all credit to Sam for the gorgeous custom. Got the Nonnef weapons set for paunch/counterpaunch so allocated the yellow gun to Nu Ruckus. Looks vaguely like his shoulder weapon.

    An enigmatic hermit haunting the treeless wastes of Sol III, Sandstorm is often present yet rarely seen, due to his uncanny camouflage artistry.

    Up to a point.

    And that point is fucking CW Sunstreaker, who can get in the fucking sea.

    Thanks guys. It really means a lot. It's a bit of a scary time to be honest, but I'm determined to get through it all.

    I'm currently setting myself up for a prolonged period of not being able to much, which I'm using as an excuse to blitz the ludicrously long amazon wishlist that I've been continuously adding to for years so that I have things to do. I may as well stock up on robots & comics, right? :) 

    (And if you're an FFXIV fan then you know that Endwalker is out soon, so that's a giant chunk of time taken up there!)

    Honestly though, thanks. You guys are great. :)

    I tend to think
    Right Arm - Shockwave, also an arm cannon. Could alternatively have someone else as an arm and use the CW Shockwave as an arm mounted cannon.
    Left Arm - Soundwave or Starscream
    One Leg - Starscream or Soundwave.
    It's the last limb I trip on as I'd rather it not just be another Seeker, especially as the third gets left out. Maybe Thrust? Slightly different at least. Reflector would be another possibility I guess. I'm trying to stickto the similar theme of how Optimus Maximus is made of Season 1 G1 Ark bots by keeping it as S1 'cons who aren't Constructicons.
    For extra fun, possibly Laserbeak as a chestpiece or something in reference to him as the real mark of Decepticon leadership :D 

    Speaking of OM, if I had done him I'd have had him be Optimus, Jazz, Ratchet, Prowl, Ironhide, and maybe Bee as a weapon or chestpiece or something.

    Currently running with two possible scenarios re:The Wayward Yodeller, either A) They've had a breakdown and are just driving randomly around the delivery catchment area deliberately taunting the remaining 91 delivery-awaiters, or B) Their van(plus whatever device is GPS-ing the Yodel Tracking)'s been nicked and taken on a Joyride! :lol

    Sad, but true. Beaucoup du seekers would work for me.

    Alternatively, Straxus, Shockwave, Tarn and Starscream.

    Not the greatest mold. And yet, I enjoyed it well enough as Breakdown and Jumpstream.

    But thank Primus for WFC Wheeljack and Sunstreaker.

    Stay strong buddy!

    @motorthing,
    Fair point on the scale, I just found the actual Kingdom one so disappointing I shoved it straight in a box never to be seen again so the chance at getting another of the MP mould has some appeal although in all probability I probably won't due to other pre-orders taking priority.

    Rattrap and Rhinox would be MP's I'd have to consider, or at least wait for KO's with improvements.

    @Ottertron,
    I see what you're getting at but I'm not sure it's a 1:6 figure because the likeness looks far too good at least in comparison to any previous sculpt I've seen of him both official and unlicensed.

    Maybe they've had another go at de-aging him with CGI and that's why it looks a bit weird?

    as opposed to 'Attention Seeker' G2 Ramjet

    to be fair Sunny's altmode is decent. But he must never transform!

    Not really been a fan of many of the CW repaints, but you make them look fantastic. Kudos.

    It's possible that it's not that straightforward.

    I listed something from JML, unopened. You know, the TV sales thing that has stuff in Asda and Tesco...

    Apparently, because I listed it as new (which it was) it was flagged. This turns out to be because JML have agreements in place that only certain retailers can sell their stuff. So because I wasn't one of them, I had no rights to sell it. Even though I owned it and wanted to sell it.

    Could be something similar. In which case, it could be Hasbro or Super7 who reported it.

    :eek: I've not heard of this, thats pretty shit. IMO (with zero knowledge of online commerce) eBay wants to be amazon so hard it forgets that most of its regular users aren't just consumers. Or maybe they don't care cos where else you gonna sell it?

    That's interesting. I know it was definitely Hasbro who reported it but thats a very valid reason why they might have done so. Pretty shitty though and would be tough if they tried to go after every sealed Transformers item listed as new. People are allowed to sell shit they own.

    Possible seeker repaints for days. We know some people would throw money at Hasbro for every variable seeker.
    But give us Sunstorm and I’m happy, literally the best thing to come out of the Dreamwave comic run.
