Sigma-X posted:an AWACS. requoted- it's really tragic they didn't focus more on blackout in the movie. looking at the hi-res cg pics and detail studies that were posted earlier, it's really pretty impressive how blackout and scorponok were integrated. you can't tell AT ALL from the movie, but scorponok, as he was designed, actually transforms with blackout and forms part of his lower-rear structure in helicopter mode. that's why he's covered with poo poo like NO STEP and other vehicle markings it seems like he doesn't need. thinking about it, they may have glossed over it because it kinda creates a continuity error later on. too bad, the work put into those guys is awe-inpiring. hopefully we'll get more focus on the 'cons in the dvd release.

I always thought that Soundwave would make a good military-style Mobile Radar Vehicle. Though, I guess a Sonar vehicle would be a better fit as Sonar is, well, sound waves. His minions could be the dishes and such. 404GoonNotFound posted:Beast Wars and the Binaltech storyline beg to differ As well as the various comics. Most of the minions had a personality.

You know, I'm starting to get tired of Banjo. If I weren't so lazy/near broke, I'd commission a Mic Sounders avatar from the Lilformers guy. Hey, he's kinda like Blaster's great-grandson or something

" Scorponok repaint project, although I'm still going to try and make his colors match up to the film's colors, but using metallic paints, shading and drybrushing, and a black ink-wash to darken him up and bring out his panels and detailing.In other news, my Coke-bot Transformer came in the mail, and he's in great shape, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to transform him. I got the legs right, but the arms and head are giving me trouble, and I really don't want to force him and break something; the thing is, like, 20 years old.

I got Coke-Bot transformed -- he's actually got a bunch of springloaded parts, and basically transforms himself. That's right, 20-year-old automorph technology. And it even still works.

I did a little searching today. No luck on the new toys, but my TRU DID have a 6" Titanium Soundwave randomly sitting on a shelf by himself. I took him home with me. I also bought him an Energon cube. It was full of candy and covered in pictures of Megatron. Everybody won. Now I just need Keld to start hunting down the new wave for me, because obviously Washington hates me.dearcatawait posted:There's no way I would ever have sex with any of you losers Good, I wouldn't have sex with you, either.

Hooooly poo poo, Coke-Bot just got way more awesome. I just figured out that his entire transformation is a big automorph gimmick. When he's in coke-can form, you pull the pop tab on top and he completely transforms himself. Arms and head pop out, legs extend, everything. It's loving awesome.

Anyway, glad you found one! Edit-- according to eBay, it looks like there's more than just the Cherry Coke version of this transformer; there's a regular Coca-Cola can one up for sale, but it's already more than I paid for mine, and it doesn't appear to be in as good condition as the one I got, based on the item description. But hey, for those of you out there who want one, here's one for sale. A bit of warning: if you transform one of these guys via pulling on the pop tab, it's real easy. Trying to transform him "manually" by, like, forcing out his arms and legs and whatnot is a bitch and I don't recommend it. Xenomrph fucked around with this message at Jul 20, 2007 around 05:59 |

I was totally confused today because the doorbell rang and noone was there. I eventually figured out when I left the apartment to go to a job interview that it was UPS and they had left a package on the sidewalk. I checked the box and it was addressed to me. Now my roommate had just bought some computer parts, but they were going to his work. I was not expecting any sort of package. I opened it up to find a little piece of paper with the mountain dew logo on it telling me "here's your prize." Yay for Pepsi Prime! He's the same as G1 prime, right? Looks like it and transforms like it. I have to admit though, I haven't seen G1 Prime in so long, I didn't realize he was only about the size of a deluxe now. I remember him being bigger, but I guess it's just because I was smaller.

Dear Abby, Today was a normal day and I thought it would never happen to me, but I heard from some of my more adventurous friends that there was a store in town where you could change the color of your toys. I went to the store and bought their magic powder, and look what my life is like now!  If you want to dye, use RIT dye. Not Dylon. Dylon will not take to plastic. I found my RIT dye in kroger by the shoe shine stuff. You want the stuff that comes in the box rather than the liquid, but I've heard it works too. The method I chose was to boil the parts in the color. This would be ok for PVC, but ABS deforms too quickly. This made the parts warped due to heat and I trashed my ramjet, but I learned more about it than if I hadn't tried it. I used RIT "wine", but it really came out magenta instead of rust color, a good rust would require 2 to 1 tangerine orange to cocoa brown. The "soft" parts made of hard PVC (hip balls, arm rotator, upper legs, and cockpit neck) take the color VERY easily and it takes almost no time to get a dark color. You can see that in the upper leg pieces comparing them to the lower legs. Tonight I'm going to try the cold dye with acetone that I read about on a yo-yo forum.
