Beast Machines Rattrap’s default robot mode pose is him doing the six seven thing and I love him.
Just got a Night Slash Cheetor and I’m going to revert him back to his show colours. Just started with the head as a test and very happy with how it looks on camera!
My set of TFA Maximals coming along swimmingly. Just painted Rhinox’s head so we’re almost there with the 4!
Did a Heatblast one now. The original design is so good there’s nothing to change imo but it was good to draw Heatblast again proper since 2009.
Did something different today- went to continue drawing my comic but XLR8 came out. With the reveal of the new Ben 10 designs I wanted to do my quick take on a more organic, ‘realistic’ XLR8. I do miss Ben 10.
It’s been a crazy year and I’m grateful to have Transformers as a hobby, which is such a good, albeit short, distraction from the low points. Honorable Mentions Missing Link Arcee, SS BBM Bee V2, Cyberworld Bee (the one that looks like ROTB) and Skybyte
2025 has been a big year for Beast Wars stuff in my collection- here’s my TOP 5 toys I’ve gotten this year. 5) Henkei Cheetor 4) Beast Wars Bonecrusher 3) KO MP Rhinox 2) MP Rattrap 1) RED EYE DELUXE CHEETOR! (What a grail!)
My Beast Wars stuff that are on the shelf right now. There’s a few transmetals hanging around on the top of the shelves and CHUG scale Beasts are unfortunately in bags. MPs are displayed on my desk but yeah, that’s a lot of beasts. And I want more. Might need to sacrifice the Animated Shelf.
BEAST WARS BASIC CLASS BUMBLEBEE DONE! I forgot Cicadacon has a second set on wings under his larger set. Perfectly sits on the Blokees ball joint so that completes Bee! I’m loving how he looks!
Still a WIP but Beast Wars Basic Bumblebee painted and dyed. Need to touch up the insect legs on the arms and clear coat the dyed parts. Thinking of where to source the wings but it’d very likely be from a cheap bee toy.
Beast Wars Basic Class Bumblebee- WIP Wanted Bee to be small, not a repaint of Waspinator, so I used a spare Armordillo I got from a lot. Ball joints on his back are meant to be for wings I’ve yet to source or make!
Got the 1 step Earthspark Soundwave from TK Maxx to trick myself into thinking I’ve got the Deluxe.
Only have 2/3 of Magnaboss so I forced Kingdom Airazor to be their Silverbolt.
You know what? After messing with the current generations/ SS toys, Armada Smokescreen felt kind of refreshing to mess with. No fear of breaking parts or paint chipping off. Just a solid, dense orange robot with cute gimmicks. Armada Smokescreen, you’re alright.
All of the custom/ show coloured ones are here on one shelf. Quickstrike fit in beautifully amongst the basic classes. Just missing Inferno who already has a spot behind Tarantulas.
One day I’ll have them displayed all out like this. Beast next to Robot.
Scorponok Custom WIP and I’ve finally ran out of gloss coat!
Custom Cheetor Comparison with the beautiful Telemocha version. I love the beast mode details on the Telemocha but I always wished the blue could’ve been a darker richer shade. I took the arm off a KO Cheetor and put it onto the repainted retro reissue and am loving him!
Custom for the night! Still need to topcoat and sand for tolerance here and there but she’s done! Started off with a Vintage Tarantulas, missing 2 legs, so I took Reissue Scorponok’s missiles and made sockets in them. Then the paint job done to match the Telemocha Blackarachnia!
It was such a pain to get to this point- really was! Hopefully it’ll end up alright! WIP Show Colours Dinobot.
My go at ‘Skybounding’ my robot character Neut from ‘Where Robots Go To Sleep’.
