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

Was at the Squishables store in the Mall today to grab a baby cousin a present and noticed that they had:
Grasshopper, Bole Weval and Stag Beatle.
-ZacWilliam, jus though that was a funny trio to exist.

Lots of good things today. Orange tarantulas actually looks really good in person and if I hadn’t already made arrangements otherwise, I’d probably keep him. Also not TF related but Gravity Beam Ghidorah. He’s insanely huge.
Last time we had a transformer showing this much cleavage, people were throwing fits.
Anyway, I don’t like him much. He’s pretty terrible to handle with the pointy and rough surfaces making it unpleasant to find a good place to grip and a weird mix of overly tight tolerances with a few loose connections here and there exacerbating the handling problem. While I prefer the monster face to the rock robot, I dunno, the icy look’s not working for me. Balance sucks too. The detachable parts come apart too easily and I don't get why I'd want to detach his arms and part of the legs. They're not good weapons and don't leave enough to make a functional figure either. He can at least point his pickaxe forward. That's neat
opened up bumblebee but he’s in drying quarantine since Hasbro still can’t get yellows uniform.

I really just want that pack for the Nightshriek, but this would've been a nice plus. That's a shame.
I'll be completely honest, I was thinking of selling rock guy off but he matches my room's decor far too well.
Also transforming back and forth loosened him up a bit but the detachable parts are still too detachable. Why are his arms even detachable?

Because he's an Armorizer. They all break apart into pieces just like the Weaponizers, Modulators, Fossilizers, and Junkions. That's their gimmick.
I'm aware of the disassembling gimmick. I'm asking why they made the arms in particular detachable. The pieces of rock on his arms and legs come off as armor, the shins come off to make a hammer combined with the axe accessory. The arms just come off and even have extra pegs on the shoulderpads but don't really do anything. Why would I want to make Soundwave or Hound or Thundertron hold a disembodied limb?

War is helll, and sometimes you got to make due with whatever improvised weapon you can.

Cybersnark, you might want to actually upload the image as there is nothing but a line of jiberish with a .Gif at the end of it
So just like how 60% of the pics other people post end up looking on my end?
Found a few of these Blokees kits, picked one up and got Megatron. Pretty neat little figure. The blast effect is a little wimpy for a fusion cannon blast, but it's compatible with the standard effect parts included with mainline figures. The only ones I have close to hand are Magmatron's, they fit, but the bigger ones will weigh down the arm....since they weigh more than the figure.
Don't worry. It originally showed up on my end just fine.
