    Two of the best stylised takes on Megs and Prime. Little bit of custom work on both faces.

    @Skywarp SCS and @Genodectes I'd also be interested in a London meetup if one's being organised.

    Don't think I'll be able to make it to TFNation this year so anything closer to home would be brill.
    Phwooo he's very impressive. I'm wondering if I should wait on a potential new figure, or just dive in and get one of the reissued figures.

    Regarding Armada Optimus, I'm hoping a Powerlinx redeco is on the table, and that Jetfire and Overload get made so we can go absolutely nuts building massive combiners. :D

    He still holds up, exceptionally well too I might add. Very kibbly, though it's entirely likely that a redo would follow suit in that regard. As with the recent Lio Convoy, it's just a part of who he is.

    Two of the very best I think. Bags of articulation, features and style and the Optimus has a very logical transformation.

    Just having a quick check of the 'want' list, and found myself wondering if I'd really need separate SCF versions of Ginrai, Super Ginrai, and God Ginrai.

    Yes. Yes I would.

    It's Liketoys Prima (Powerful robot?) so yeah. Always liked the design so I bought it. Needs a little bit of work & could do with a paintjob but it looks really good.

    Fellow MOTU warriors, The Screech, Snake Men 4 pack, and Skeleton Warriors 4 pack appear to be BBTS exclusives (could turn out to be shared exclusives) but I got a pile of loot safety preorder in just to be safe. @Siege Fan

    Ooh, that'll do nicely, ta! Snaffled the first wave as the others are already hanging with my JG1. :D 

    Any thoughts on a good Titan Master to go on Hardhead, since I already have the original & reissue from t'other wave? Or perhaps will just flog the spare one like a monarch who's already picked their heir. :D

    You're asking the wrong man I'm afraid, the re-releases are the only ones I've ever owned!

    I like it - has a bit of a War in Pocket vibe.

    Trying to figure out if the two bike fronts on a Scraphook can result in a workable Crashbar alt mode, and here is the resulting trike.

    I now think that the exhausts-to-handle-bars I thought was possibly a design intention isn't.

    Much like Brian in Spaced: “I do like [her], I’m just not sure why…”

    Thundercracker is dependable and no surprises, except how good the blue looks. Countdown to turning green starts here.

    Forgot to mention I was surprised to find out despite being shorter, Crashbar has the longer lower legs of the two, so if you do make a perma-swap between copies of Scraphook & Crashbars to get a bike front/s Scraphook the resulting Scraphook will be taller, and the resulting robot mode of this trike ends up somewhat dwarfen meaning if you want to use the trike front as a leg you have to mistransform it to shorten it, or just use the truck fronts as legs for a rather Gimli-like Junkion, and use the excess third leg for weaponizing or armouring him up (which is still a work in progress, as one can't deploy the wheel's blades for a spinning buzzsaw weapon type deal whilst keeping it neatly lined up).

    My main issue with these Junkions is I'm gonna need at least 3 or 4 each for maximum mash-up efficacy! Roll on the discounts!!!

    Dunno if it got a UK/US equivalent issue but the cerebros TM that came with the Takara bumblebee looks pretty decent on hardhead
