. . . so I wasn't the only one. Good to know.
Yet another reason transparent plastic should go extinct.
Transparent plastic by itself isn't really a problem when used properly. Using it for structural or articulated parts should be banned.
Well, then, when used properly, it isn't "by itself" then; is it?
Personally, unless you're going for something of Alternators level of realism; Clear plastic adds nothing to a figure. Becuase all it does is reveal the folded up robot inside; no interiors no molded details. Just "we have to shove the robot somewhere" leading clear plastic just detracting from the realism rather then adding to it, unless you tint it so dark you can't see through it at all, then why not use just regular plastic for it? Combined further with how costs are nowdays, they can't afford most the time to make clear plastic as part of regular plastic, so if they use it, the whole sprue has to be clear. Leading to things like SS Mirage's transclearent arms, or being used in places where joint friction is gonna make them break in 5-10 years, if that.
I gotta disagree. I much prefer the look of clear plastic for windows/headlights, etc. on vehicle modes. A bit of tint to make the interior not SUPER visible is all I need to be able to mentally block out any secret robot bits hiding inside. Painted windows are fine for anything below Deluxe scale, but I really think they detract from the figure on anything Deluxe or larger (well, for real-life vehicles anyway. If you turn into some kind of made up sci-fi tank or something, I can easily look past it.)
Somebody's been watching too much Emgo.
I still have mine with all his parts... just a busted door ball joint with the rest of you lads.
I haven't transformed that mold in years. Now it's Schrodinger's Door.
Cybertron has a schrodinger too.
He's a war criminal. Sentenced to death and then dismembered. His parts were stored away in locked vaults in the further corners of the planet... but no one is sure, cause everyone is too scared to check.

But every so often, one can hear the distant sound of piano music coming from the directions of where his parts were stored, making one wonder...
No parking, mean No parking!!!
I think TFs that work alone in deep space should ALWAYS be accompanied by Minicons or Micromasters for company. In Galaxy Shuttle's case, they can add some much-needed bulk to the rear of his alt mode (and the extra thrusters don't hurt either).

I love this pic! Pardon my ignorance though, but what is the significance of the "2000" logo on Ironhide? I get the yellow stripe, and it looks like you've used a sticker set with some other upgrades, but just wondering about the number.
