Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

But I'm annoyed at the new "this alt head is actually just a mask" bit, because that makes making a custom out of the Earth mode van mold harder.

This is annoying. They had to know we would want to use the alternate heads for customs, but they went out of their way to make it impractical. Until someone makes some adapters, these alt heads are useless for anything outside this set. And it's not even a universal system within this set. The masks require their own specialized adapters. They are on to something with the idea here, but they need to go back to the drawing board.

In the meantime, I welcome them to sell me an Earth mode Autotrooper. I don't care if it uses a compatible alt head system, or a new system, or just one normal head that looks like either one of these. I'll buy it.

There's a great neck adaptor with a free STL up on Cults3D, iirc with versions for the Datsun and Earth mode van. It's a bit of an extra step, but it'd be cheaper and simpler than obtaining a second Autotrooper for the custom I had in mind. Then again, the second Autotrooper would at least be a source for other parts too...

Like another mask. Which would still call for a spare adaptor... Ugh

And while they're at it maybe they can remold the Prime air vehicons into the G2 air troopers, or find something else that works. I need more G2 grunts for Jhiaxus's army. And a proper Mindset. (A more G2 Rook wouldn't be bad either)

I want to be clear that I am still more than happy with the set. If you thought you want it, don't let my complaints discourage you, because they're totally not discouraging me.

I love generics. Lumping four different ones into one expensive set kinda works against the whole idea of army building, but I don't have the money or space to do that anyway, so having just one of each works for me. I'm glad this set exists, and I want Hasbro to do this often enough to get better at it.

I also want them to keep doing accessory sets. They got off to a rough start, but with Red Cog they have finally completely nailed it. I don't even have any nitpicks with this one.

 

[lastmaximal]

I like the earlier attempts at accessory packs as well (well, Tricranius was more of a blast effect pack). It's just a shame Centurion Drone was so goddamn difficult to get (and so many of the accessories were tiny things).

More cool generics and accessories are welcome. Hell, bring back the Superlink style exclusive clear weapons. Out of the better ones at least -- I can do without more Skids axes, but imagine the Siege Ironhide hammercannon or Nemesis Prime's birdblade Giza (and Star Saber) in clear colors...

Is Centurion Drone's accessory pack not considered "good" now? I loved it.

The Centurion set was clearly farmed out to some B team that doesn't know what the main team is doing. They had no idea what Prime they were designing a blaster for. They clearly had old Leaders in mind. Though oddly it looks like they had a Deluxe in mind when they designed Roller.

It should be easy enough to get a consensus from the 30 people worldwide that got one.

That is funny because you are absolutely right! I really do love the set, but those 2 pieces really are out of whack with the character they're designed to go with.

Lockdown has a new trophy:

Get him a couple of Skullcrunchers for alligator shoes. For his suddenly Cotton Hill legs.

The giant Prime rifle's hilarious but everything else seems to fit Like Roller fits in ER Prime's trailer and... rolls...

The Reflector camera and Megatron and Shockwave guns were pretty nice. And the rest of the gun layouts seem to scale well with the characters they were intended for.

Man I want a green G1 Ratchet.

And no, I want one with a face and arms in the proper location.

Posting the stuff I painted since work sucks and it took forever to finish painting knees and windows because of it.

I like the Cyberverse colors but the original was really plain, so I added some details from original Tarn and removed the dumb Jikler lipstick. The treads really needed something given there’s half a dozen of them.

Thundertron is a joy to work on, seeing how he’s covered in detail. Want to do something about the ugly hook but this’ll do for now.

Just windows here. I think they pop against the yellow and black real well. It’s hard to pick a shade that is still vibrant blue but also fakes the illusion of depth and isn’t tacky. Went over the painted yellow parts to make them more consistent with the yellow plastic.
