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

(I couldn't quite get Hoist's torso into the right position. I don't know if this is a BC MW Hoist issue like his shoulders or just a "haven't touched one of this mold in years, forgot the trick" issue.)

IIRC, it's the former. ISTR having to disassemble and reassemble mine back in the day to fix that issue, but it was a simple procedure that was doable by anyone. I just don't remember what it was.

EDIT: This spurred me to go look up the procedure, and have found it. There's a piece inside the torso that was put in backwards.

Ah, that does seem familiar now. Did Electro have a similar misassembly and I actually bothered to fix it on him, maybe?

Checking those links, it looks like it was less common with Electro, but some did have the error as well.

The bravest choices require the strongest souls.

 

[Blot]

Nah, it's just the better looking head. Swapped mine without a second thought.

Literally did not even know (or care) that this guy existed, let alone him existing at Ross. Anyway, found him when I went searching for all the Velocitron figs everyone seemed to be finding. And since he was $8 and I don’t have him I figured, “Why not?”

 

[Superomegaprime]

I think that bot should be named: Bluebreaker, sounds a lot better than DK-3 Breaker, the DK-3 sounds like it belongs to a Star Wars droid

 

[Gizmoboy]

The color isn't quite close enough to Bitstream for me to use that name. I will have to keep thinking about it.

I have an extra one if anyone is interested.

Violet Knight maybe?

It's a Diaclone reference iirc

The topic seemed perfect since I had my Starscreams on display already. Then I kept remembering that I have 1 more, and yea and this one. Eventually I had to stop and say good enough. I can only spend so much time digging through bins.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

It occurs to me that I don't think I have any kind of G1 Starscream. Unless we count Armada as IDW G1, but I prefer him as his own guy.

I saw a lot of angst about the KP Autotropper head because it's KP, and Animated's far more beloved but between the KP Autotropper head just looking better and the mould itself being far more G1 then Animated... it just made sense

Complete and Utter Trash(TM).

(But srsly tho this is one of my best/favorite deluxe molds ever. Such a satisfying transformation and a brilliant engineering fix to the stupid backpack that becomes untabbed if you breathe on it wrong on the original WfC Hound version of the mold. Can’t wait for BWB Hound too.)

 

[Sabrblade]

I just realized, Detritus is colored just like Zarak.

What's the fix?

No guns, but for $6 at Goodwill I can’t complain.
