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

[PrimalxConvoy]

Throwback to these neat ones, fated to be retired one by one...

My customizing took a really hard lean into eHobby/Diaclone territory a couple years ago (I've said before how fond I am of that era of reissues/redecos), and now that official versions are becoming more and more the norm, these are getting edged out of place for factory-durable (i.e I didn't paint em, whether spray or brush) upgrades.

It's the weirdest not-really-superpower.

Technically, two of those weren't painted though, right, as they're OSKOs?

Are you going to "retrobrite" the yellowed plastic?

 

[Platypus Prime]

The patient is terminal. Time for organ transplants! ...where's First Aid's surgical axe...?

Expensive trip to Walmart today.

Tank mode is nice. I don’t get the strange big hand looking guns.

Jet mode is ok. I didn’t follow the directions so it’s possible I missed a step or 2.

Are you going to "retrobrite" the yellowed plastic?

maybe as an experiment but all the working ratchet joints got sent into the clean one.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

I wish the "red" part could fold around and under the wings...

 

[Demovere Xeno]

I can believe it's been over 10 years since these came out.

...Man, I wish I could enjoy my copies of Wreck-Gar and Junkheap more - but I could already see stress marks and faint cracks on the handlebar struts, so they've just been sitting in my storage for a long time now. =( A shame, too; I liked their asymmetrical robot modes, and I always thought the dirt bike alt mode was a great choice to modernize them.

The hand gun things, were meant to be apart of some line gimmick, thou I think they dumped the idea during production, so something clearly went wrong with the line, with mine, I gave them to SG OP, he currently for them above his head with a pair of Siege Brunts, while the casing part is hanging off the backs of the Brunts who are hanging with SG OP legs and have Brunt's gun barrels, my only grip with those hand things, is that its next to impossible for any bot who actually wear them properly because the shell pegs on the inside are to far forwards, even Blitzwing can't properly hold them in robot mode!

"Where will YOU be when the senility kicks in?"

So, now they are closer to being made from junk? Shouldn't that make them MORE appealing? Like my previous iterations of Insecticons, Sharktikons, Sweeps and Armada(s), I relegate them to clones/generic underlings when new versions of the same character come out.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Or pile them up, any broken parts included, and claim they're a battlefield diorama!

The turret should be collapsed back on the double hinge.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

The wheels on Legacy Prime Arcee can be removed (so potentially an add-on kit could be attached with a joint to allow them to swing around and behind her legs, like the original version). In the meantime, each half can be attached to the opposite side of the front wheel halves (hanging off of her back), via one of the "male" clips in each wheel. It's a bit fiddly, but once it's done, they're pretty sturdy, but it's now partsforming...

 

[Donocropolis]

Bone Age! Complete Action System!

Deitron here was the closest the old Bone Age had to a Spinosaurus

Build Deitron's bones into a spine launching gunner station...

Or a soaring bomber with shoot-off missile!

My hauls from Botcon 2022! (Not shown are the whole lot of autographs I obtained. Trying to get those on my instascam)

Friday's Haul:


Saturday's Haul:


Sunday was 3 more weapon mini-cons, some more Botbots and a Legacy Bulkhead.

Just because in-story they're robots who live on and are made mostly of junk doesn't mean that I'd want toys of them that are damaged and/or in pieces, you know. =/

Possibly the worst carpet ever to photograph on.

I’ve been trying to reorganize my transformers in bins. G1 is in the worst shape as far as storage goes. These have been in a plastic bin in the current configurations they are in now. About to bag the rest the of them and protect them a bit better.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

The talk of Junkions and seeing that Fossilizer makes me a little disappointed we haven't gotten some sort of Weaponizer Junkions yet...

That is quite the G1 Collection. I always thought Omega Supreme was much larger than that. Looks to be the same size as Ultra Magnus.
