I know this isn't exactly what we talked about, but what kind of stand are you using for Sunstorm?

I hate (read:love) looking at your Alternity pictures. It makes me want to spend money I know I should not spend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-waspy.gif) They look pretty poseable from what I see here, but I was wondering if there were any downsides to them. Anything about them you don't like?

From the original thread regarding Ratchet:

Really nice gallery OM! I'm liking the look of this figure more than the original Ratchet. Do you prefer one to the other?

Randy

Thanks, Randy! Well, I like the original simply because it evokes the essence of all the character was for most of the show. This version has a younger, happier look to it. I should have included a side by side face shot to show the difference, but it is pretty visible here. This version is neat because it looks younger and stronger, with the complete crest on the head etc. I also really like the articulation, as he is super posable. The transformation is fun and decently challenging for this size and line.

Ultimately, I like them both for different reasons, but I would fidget with this one more due to novelty. I sure hope we get Ironhide down the road, because he would look great as this mold. The rear bumper/shock paddles make for a neat weapon. Before I finish, the EMP from Lockdown fits way better on this mold than the original.


Now, while I am at it, Randy and I have been backlogged, and we have a bit of catching up to do on older molds. I realize many of you may have them already, but we are going to do our best to catch up while we wait for the new stuff to start showing up. So, here is:

Animated Deluxe Waspinator

Makes me sad we did not get more beasts from Animated (there is never enough), especially a Buzzsaw (You listening, Hasbro?)

[Powered Convoy]

The stand is a clear robot stand from HLJ. I don't remember exactly which one. I need to dig it out again, as I haven't used it in a while.

Alternity is really combines most of the best elements from the car Transformers in Binaltech, Movie 2007, and Universe 2008 in one. I love this line and it is by far my favorite at the moment. As much as I love Universe, figures like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe (which are some of my favorites) just look cheap compared to Alternity Convoy & Megatron.

I don't have any issues with my figures, except my silver Megatron's ankle has gotten real loose, but I think that's just bad luck on mine (and this is months and months after I got him).

They really are excellent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

Expect MP-08X King Grimlock & MP-01B Convoy Black soon...

[Onyx Minor]

Cliffjumper looks drool-worthy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

Does BB have the same metallic paint that Cliffy seems to have? It is hard to tell.

[Powered Convoy]

No, BB doesn't have that metallic paint. His is a light yellow. It's a very nice color, but I didn't manage to photograph it to well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif)

ROFT Human Alliance Barricade with Frenzy!

(IMG:http://www.allspark.com/albums/roft_human_alliance_barricade/rotf_human_alliance_barricade_53.sized.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.allspark.com/albums/roft_human_alliance_barricade/rotf_human_alliance_barricade_64.sized.jpg)

I like Human Alliance Barricade a lot, but the hips are a disappointment. They are really limited because they are stuck at an angle. Otherwise, this is a beautiful figure with great features. Having Frenzy as a chest gunner looks awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

[Powered Convoy]

That comparison shot is an excellent example to show how improved the Human Alliance figure is compared to the original deluxe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif) I really love the HA figure.

Awesome galleries Onyx Minor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

I am really loving Lockdown. I much prefer this version to the Animated one.

Randy

Thanks! I like him a lot as well. Like everyone has been saying, due to his nature, I think he fits great with Classics, in spite of some of his design being movie aesthetic. I also love how they designed his inner thighs to rotate as you rotate the lower legs, he has a hook that won't break, hands that aren't posed inward and a really nice EMP generator. This is a great toy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

[Onyx Minor]

OK, we've been on a little hiatus with real life things taking precedence, but here are 2 of the newest galleries. Randy has some awesome stuff we have not posted recently, and I am hoping he will add that in here soon as well.

Generations Deluxe Cybertronian Bumblebee
Generations Deluxe Cybertronian Optimus Prime

So awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

Anyhow, coming up are the rest of the Generations Wave 1 figures, Seaspray and the PCC figures as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

Enjoy.
