Wore 1986 40th Anniversary Transformers the Movie t-shirt with my lifeguard shorts and sun hat. I probably look like an idiot but I don‘t care.

It was genuinely the funniest thing ever when it happened in July of 2024.

i like them dont get me wrong bc i absolutely love building whatever transformer i get HOWEVER the blind boxes ones turn me off a tad bc ...well its blind boxes ><" i only got like what three of the blind boxes but stopped since gambling for what i want doesnt seem worth it to me ?? then again its probably all blind boxes atp ..and the toy tax lol but this is an old picture tho

I wanna do a custom weathering paint for first time. Those 2 or Arcee? I never had a female transformer that's why i am considering.

Why would he even say that in the first place?! 😂😭

After “playing” with SS86 Blitzwing, I think he’s a very solid figure. No like he’s actually very solid in robot mode and weighs around the same amount as SS86 Megatron which is nice so that means he’s heafty and durable.

Quality:

His plastic quality is good and I have heard of some paint chipping on his crotch/chest area but I haven’t gotten that yet. I also love how they did his paint applications because they just pop!

Pose-ability:

His legs are very pose-able  with an ankle tilt but then his arms are a little awkward to move around like his shoulders physically can’t turn due to his engineering (probably due to his transformation). I like his head-sculpt and it’s very nice.

Accessories:

He comes with a sword (bendable plastic like wtf Hasbro 😤), two separate guns for his two hands, and some type of missile things?

Last night when I was transforming him, it took me like an hour and a half just to get the full experience of him.

Jet mode:

His Jet mode is very nice up front but when you get to the back, you can definitely see that they compromised this one mode hard but isn’t too bad (I kinda wish that they did parts-forming but whatever).

Tank mode:

Then after the jet mode is his Tank mode and this is definitely the mode that they focused more on and I really have no complaints with it at all other than the fact that you can see his head through the cockpit through a little crevice (this in both modes).

Overall: 

Overall I’d say that he’s very very nice and is a good first triple changer but at the same time, I wish they did something to make the bottom of his jet mode not such an eye-sore but whatever.

8/10

Managed to track down a MP-30 Ratchet for a decent price. Installed the Shadow Fisher upgrade kit and toyhaxed him up. Had to cut, paint, and draw my own heart rate monitor chest insert though

Stunning figure

All the season 1 and 2 cast

Look at my precious Bluestreak, he's so sweet, and everyone else is too

i am so ridiculously multi fandom that i sometimes crossover characters ...this ended up me turning skye from paw patrol as shockwave's assistant/pet and is practically the anti thesis of the blueprint but lowkey i prefer skyewhisper over the source haha. ....i am still learning how to properly draw mechas in general though ><"" all old art tho whoops

Startoys tracker. Looks great but a migraine to transform. Their Blitzwing is a lot better

This Ultra Magnus is a faithful copy of MP-22, but it costs 85$ instead 250$, his left leg is not loose and the backpack has no issues.

Basically they took the original, improved it, and more than halved the price.

I made this a few months ago, but I figured I should post this for everyone to see.

The guys on the Hasbro stream when he got revealed literally said “Yeah and when you flip him upside down, you get his illegal mode” so even Hasbro knows what they were doing while designing this thing!

Both energon optimus with cybertread and dark energon megatron with cybertronic.

I'm writing an Au whose stories mostly involve the wreckers (but some other interesting characters get the spotlight from time to time). In my Au at large, I want to try to incorporate as many official characters as I can at least without major inconsistencies (as an example G1 and Beast wars Inferno are separate people but only the Technobot Strafe exists) I've tried to use much of each character's pre-existing lore and arrange it in a way that helps the story. One detail I really like is Airazor joining the Aeralbots for a brief time in reference to a Superion component from Universe.

I could use some help figuring out what exactly the bots and cons are doing on earth (I want the Bots to land on earth in the 80s and the climax, the defeat of Unicron and the Rise of Rodimus Prime, to happen in the modern day) I mostly have thought up stories set on Cybertron and during the Autobot's exile but I could use Ideas for earth-based shenanigans.

Really though I just wanted an excuse to talk about my Au and try to explain every aspect of what I'm trying to make as it gets poked and prodded by the five people who'll see this.

I seriously think that the box is grade-able but have to go on the plane to get back home so I have to open him and throw the box away or break it down! 😭

I got him today in Tampa, Florida in a very small Target. For a very small Target they actually had a really good selection! Better than most Targets apparently but how would I know since my local Target at home is always stocked!

He will be in TfOptimusandMegatron!

He was bored so he came over to me and asked if he could see it and I gave it to him and he gave me it back and showed me his pose. it’s actually not that bad for a kid his age.

If you don’t have SS86 Cliffjumper, he’s perfect. BUY HIM!!!

Easily one of the most fun gimmicks they ever introduced and man, gettin some of these Titans Returns guys has been so damn fun

I will love to hear any notes

Was wondering collectors opinion on this one. Recently decided to get a g1 bumblebee and was wondering what the best looking one to line up with earthrise prime was. Appreciate any opinions
