And my updated movie Con shelves

I got my 2nd White whale of the year. I have longed for this toy, and finally got one at the right price

Wow, incredible find! That mold is still one of the best Transformers ever made, even all these years later.

It's really cool that it even has the spike knuckles!

Finally got around to some group shots. My heart is so warm and huge right now








And I don't know how I managed it, but I succeeded in getting all of these into 1 detolf shelf. Next MPM though will break the box

Looking good!
I really ought to get around to getting the remaining MPMs of the first movie's cast I missed the first time around, They look really good together.
On a completely unrelated note, Here's Real Gear Robots Spyshot 6.

just sayin', Breacher and Blue are a badass pairing



These 2 figures still really tickle my fancy. They are just super fun together and individually.



Murder partners with their murder mounts



And some baby dinos for fun



In other movie news, I still really appreciate the design of Jolt, it's an underappreciated look

I give you what might be my new favorite figure in my collection. I cannot stop playing with it! It is fantastic! It's perfect.

This mold, and this version especially, is why the MPM felt so redundant to me and I passed on it completely.

Now that I have this version, the MPM feels very redundant

I’m amazed by this figure every time I open it up. There’s a reason (well, several actually) it’s my favorite Transformers figure of all time.


It just nails the proportions so well, the face sculpt is perfect, no backpack at all, very articulated. . . This figure is just so good.

It is VERY good, I love that toy too! Still wish he had his shoulder cannons, but it's a minor thing

The new MPM shelf:



Also the newly updated movie shelves showing how nicely all the SS bots and cons come together

Man I love Ransack and really all of the movie scout class, it was such an awesome class. But, I don't see an Ejector anywhere.

I sold mine off years ago and regret it. I've been thinking of tracking one down again to make the king of the Botbots.

I never got and still need an Ejector someday.

I'm also still holding out hope that SS will give us the final couple Autobots we need for a full cast and a new Galvatron

As I mentioned in the haul thread I have ROTF Stalker Scorponok coming in the post (considered the original deco but I heard the ROTF version has aged better). However, as someone that prefers Scorponok as a big (but not that big) and clever guy, being a dinky deluxe with a rather gimpy robot mode would not do for him. So, time for repurposing! Instead, the figure will be representing Scorpia.

Headcanony bio time!

Scorpia is a Chrono-Arachnid, a feral subspecies of Transformer with the curious ability to displace themselves through spacetime more or less at will. It is impossible to say how rare, common or otherwise they are as they are scattered across the timestream (with their warping power usually being used to escape danger) and so any kind of census would be entirely pointless. All Chrono-Arachnids do this differently- in Scorpia's case, she literally burrows through spacetime.

Whilst technically a Transformer, like all Chrono-Arachnids she is barely a step above mechafauna and is not particularly bright. She barely uses her incredibly rudimentary robot mode, and cannot speak even the simplest dialect of Cybertronian, communicating instead in a series of oddly squeaky noises. She can understand commands, however, and is intelligent enough to be considered sapient.

She is not to be underestimated in combat; Chrono-Arachnids are ambush predators and possessed of keen hunting instincts. Coupled with her ability to burrow through the ground and her claw-mounted missile launchers and she is a formidable opponent. That said, in spite of her somewhat fearsome appearance and potent weaponry, Scorpia is remarkably friendly and playful, usually acting like a big cuddly pet towards whoever is willing to fuss her and give her energon goodies. She does have a slightly annoying habit of using her spacetime-jumping ability when panicked, even out of combat, however she always comes back in the end. Sometimes she even brings back interesting "souvenirs" from her travels, though this could be anything from a priceless artifact to a piece of interestingly shaped scrap metal.

Hypothetically she could be reverse-engineered to allow the Decepticons to use the same time travel ability, but she's too adorable for even the coldest sparked 'con to consider the necessary dissection.

Wreck n' Rule at 200 MPH! I love this team, this is something I wanted 10 years ago, and they are all finally together. Slowly but surely, we are crossing off the wish list of movie toys.






speaking of that wish list, this 3D printed Infernocus looks exactly what a SS figure should look like. I want a commander class dangit!

It is great to have a full set of Wreckers! DOTM Autobots are almost good to go, after Dino this summer we just need Bumblebee and Que.

Infernocus would be interesting, would the components have alt modes? I’d think they would have to but I have no idea what they’d turn into.

Dino was one of the huge outstanding items, so glad he's coming. Jolt, Que, and the Twins at this point are the main bots we still need from the line/this scale!

I would think 4 deluxe-ish limbs and a voyager torso, and all would have robot to demon alt modes, I'm not asking for much in the alt mode department for him

Jolt is listed for later this year, so I'm excited to see how that looks. I've never had much interest in the Twins, but having a complete Devastator now I wouldn't mind having them to go with Devy.

In terms of Decepticons, I think It's just Hatchet and Sideways that I need for my collection, although The Fallen and Galvatron are a maybe depending on how they look.

Hatchet and Sideways are 2 big ones for me, as is a new Fallen and Galvatron. I'd also really like to finish the TLK crew

I'd like a Devcon at some point. I mean we have all 3 Wreckers now, so...

Oooh yes, I would absolutely like a Devcon, though I don't know how likely that would be.

As for the TLK cons, while they're not something I need for my collection I still think it's nuts that many of them don't have ANY representation. There is no (official) figure or merchandise evidence that Onslaught, Dreadbot, or Mohawk even exist.

Devcon needs a toy for sure. And the lack of representation for the TLK crew is criminal.

I still love this pair, and still long for a SS update to them in both their forms. This toy is also very important to me, it's one of only 2 I ever got my Gram, who just passed unexpectedly last week. They have an increased importance now

Sorry for your loss, man. You have my condolences and prayers.

I've got the super-rusty deco of these two that came in the two-pack (three-pack?) with sideways. I like them a lot, and I feel like they're still the best deluxe versions of the twins.
