    Did I fuck. I did the sensible thing and went to bed following a highly charged end to a very busy week at work. Plus it would have been really twatty of me to go as I also missed Lady Napalm driving supercars today.

    Hope everyone who went had a great old time.

    Lightning strikes in the forests of the night!

    Metal hands dare seize the fire!

    Hands belonging to what may be the yellowest Bee of all the yellow Bees in all the towns of all the world. :) 

    Am enjoying this little chap, best mainline version of him so far IMHO even if the Cybertronian one has the battlemask. Hoping (at least some of) the rest of the Riseformers will turn out as nice. :) 

    Or maybe I shouldn't, as then they will cost money! Welp. :rolleyes:

    Was a little disappointed at the size of the minicon trade area. But managed to fill a few holes in my collection. Impatience got the best of me and I cracked and grabbed Dirge and Ramjet for £100 loose.

    I like the first image with the blur a bit better actually, I think the extra rubble in the front makes things a bit compressed and busy.
    1st shot is :bay 

    Hoping we get some new reveals and pre-orders up next month as I've completely run out of new plastic crack to purchase.

    It got so bad I bought a B.A.F. Crimson Dynamo!

    Someone on the village freecycle group was giving these away yesterday… rude to say no.

    I think the brand team came up with the best answer to this when they were asked about it for siege and said Quintessons.

    Personally I think it's quite a silly question really, I mean if you remove wheels and cockpits/doors evreyone may as well be a floating cube or a lamppost which wouldn't make for appealing toys (although computer terminals yes please). Seen as alt modes were meant as disguises anyway you've just got to assume there were some kind of vehicles on cybertron before the transformers took on shapes to look like them.

    Oh and if you go with the comic primus origin I guess you can explain it away by the quints having enslaved them before being fought off (think this was cannon in aligned or siege at any rate). You could even go with that it's part of vector sigmas grand design that the transformers eventually bond with organics like in rebirth.

    No more bots due for the month, so here is my Altar of Acquisition as of March 23. I'm going to have to ban power stances by May.

    Good morning Thread-o'-dreams! Found this cool concept art of a familiar feathered fiend.

    Not sure which is scarier!
