If you're still waiting for them to add elbows to toys they're not going to, you're missing out on a lot of fun here
I'm thinking this callout is bs. The instructions don't mention anything to do with taking the cockpit off again and no connectors exist to let it attach like this. Has anyone worked it out?
Detail on Soundwave is great. Inside the sub is all controls and stuff. Just a shame the rest of it doesn't really look like anything
This is the Soundwave that would say "Eels up inside yer, finding an entrance where they can..."
Just found the new cyber changers in Sainsbury's but they literally said I'm not allowed to buy them because they're not registered as a product on their system. They took Cheetor off me. But they're on the shelf
Flicking through Micronauts for the first time and I was going to say something about how it had game re Marionette but then I saw Acroyear caked up on a Tuesday christ mate that's one way to interpret his hips being ball bearings
The thing with modern kids lines for Transformers is it's easy to think they'd benefit from long running uniformity like Generations but actually no that would suck! When I was a kid every new line presented something very different but in modern times you just get roughly the same gimmicks.
Because I haven't done this yet, here's the Cyberworld class of 2025 (sans exclusives). I have every intent on completing 2026 but man they're not making the idea appealing. My next project will be a handbook about these! #Transformers
Sometimes you want to make a silly pic and end up learning how to add grain/noise/blur. Productive shitposting! Here's a raw bts shot
agh I wanted to keep this a surprise but I cannot decide which is the better image I've just made, the more readable Cosmos or the more authentic blurrier darker one. Please chime in! I know I'm not the first person to do this gag but the ones I could find aren't the G1 toy and it was fun making it!
Weird side effect of them retooling the forearms for a Magnus here is how the ratchets in the elbows are now much softer and quieter than on Optimus
I want to thank whoever decided to put the Cyberworld biome markers next to each toy's name on the wiki. This is going to make my next project so much easier. I was keeping a document just for this info
So what I'm feeling here is sad that my OP's hips just do not play like this. Nemesis has the best (read freest) tolerances on both outward swing and swivel out of the 3 I've got.
Oh jesus I can't get him out. I've actually no idea how he's even secured now we're not doing anything with headlight fist holes. Is it seriously just clamping round the bumper? The bumper that's all chrome? Being held by a colossal piece of inflexible diecast? Hahaaaaaaaa wtf
Delta Magnus' knees say things! The fact these are painted and not printed stickers now renders the text more difficult to read but they both have English text that say different things! It's not just squiggles. Here I've aimed my macro lens at them. I'll attempt to transcribe in alt text.
Aaa the cuddliest moth is sitting on my back door curse this frosted glass I wish to observe the fluff
Incredibly chuffed that Bone Shaker fits in there exactly. Hot Wheels stay winning
At this point in Missing Link's tenure I can confidently say I'm not here for the added articulation but rather the chance to get reissues of legendary toys that have been made more user friendly by the addition of extra joints. This is big! It's Powered Convoy! I'm not about to pose him out
But first, the boans. What an interesting toy with one of the worst accessories I've ever seen
