Transformers Thread

^-- lol @ scum gale

i means if you could have any transformer… anyone you want… one that youd build a shrine to… one that each time you pass by it youd have to stop and look at it… maybe touch it…

>_>

oh…oh shit.

my heart skipped a beat.

LONG LIVE ENCORE!

pre-ordered that shit with the quickness

I had a Metroplex way back when and gave it away :frowning:

I owned the top half of a Metroplex once

“Pretty Weak” = expect a PM from SiLLiEMutAfuKA soon. I hate repaints and refuse to spend money on something I probably already own once already. But it has to be a really kick-ass repaint for me to want one (Alternators Shockwave for instance).

Wow, that’s a pretty serious grail desire you got there. :rofl: I thin Satomi posted a link to a custom Dinobot Combiner that looked pretty wicked.

Grail Transformers are whichever Transformer you want so badly that you’d pay almost anything to get, or punch a new born in the face for one.

See! Look at the size of those TF tittays! Metro’s gotta be a fuckin 38DDD at least. Look at that hip to bust ratio! It’s like I’m looking at a Robo-Jessica Rabbit.

A funny vid of the return of Optimus Prime

and also I am surprised that the JPN version had extra footage on the intro

I did. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: Tyrannoking

But that’s nothing compared to Beast Wars Predaking

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

holy grail…

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

LOCK UP YOUR KIDS, PEOPLE!!! Fenrir’s about to go on a baby-punching spree. :dp::amazed:

I remember watching that way back.
thats who youll be…shitpiece!

I guess my “grail” transformer would have to be star saber/victory leo. Ive lusted after victory saber for a very long time.
theyve been reissuing a lot of the bigger transformers, Id love to see predaking, trypticon and star saber/victory leo get reissued

A different type of TF holy grail for me would be a real-life concept car of Hot Rod. Yes, he inadvertently got Prime killed, and suffered from too-big-of-shoes-to-fill angst… but the first time I saw him as that futuristic-looking vehicle, with fire emblem, blue tinted windshield, and giant spoiler fin, I fell in love with the design.

The classics version of Hot Rod was based off of this Dome Zero:

If I had the money, I’d buy that, mod it into Hot Rod, and drive around blasting Stan Bush’s Dare.

I would cry manly tears of joy

Ok everyone, I wanted to prove that I’m pretty serious about that Computron custom I posted about a few weeks back. However, I’m doing a little warm-up project to get me familiar with taking figures apart and making the necessary modifications and add-ons.

Here it is: Cybertron Menasor (WITH ARMS)

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k144/striderec/IMG_1531.jpg

The arms come from a KO Happy Well Armada Megatron. I do plan on including the original Menasor arms (see pic below), but as something that snaps onto the news ones. I don’t know how I’m going to do that but I figured this is a nice start.

I took the gear pins off that connect to the shoulders and added them to the top of the HW arms for a natural fit. Apoxie sculpt was added to to merge them together.

Thoughts?

p.s. This is what the original looks like.

Not so much ‘grails’, but my favourite tf’s that I own are G1 Sixshot and Predaking. I dont think Ive ever been as impressed with any G1 toys as I was with those two.

That figure is prone to more defects than you can imagine.

The gold on a few of those has just, fallen off. :shake:

That would make it a battle-damaged gold MP Optimus Prime then, wouldn’t it?

Hey, has anyone else here ever marked your personal electronics with an Autobot or Decepticon symbol? I’ve got a 1" Con symbol on my LG enV in the bottom left corner of the battery. I can’t help it, I did the same thing to my RAZR too.

You can’t really sue someone who technically gave you a gift. Lucky Draw TF’s are given away in random contests.

I did that to an arcade stick, cd player, and a phone that is lost to the sands of time.
glad Im not the only one lame enough to do that

Well, I’ve got a 'Con symbol as my phone wallpaper, and I’m refinishing a bass guitar in a Decepticon theme. After that, I’m going to Scott Hembry to see about having a Decepticon insignia-shaped 7-string guitar built. I also have plans to either paint or vinyl up my HRAP2 in 'Con styling.
