I’ve done this before, but it still gives me joy so I’m doing it again.
Battlechargers have barely progressed at all in the last 40 yrs 0/10 do not want.

Missing a ton of figures (No Earthspark or Decepticons, for instance!), but I wanted to get a pic in while it was still topical! (and, no, the location is not a statement, simply the best lighting in our basement)
EDIT: almost forgot Nickel, so here's some Decepticons, too!
EDIT 2: Anyone have an abundance of Axlegrease in their area? Her wave seems to have been skipped around here...

Who wouldn't wanna stand on top of a washer? They just want to have fun.
It was so hard to resist the urge to say anything else.
More deyellowing going on. Jhiaxus’ is particilarly terrible since the briefs-shaped hip area were what yellowed, making it look like he soiled hinself. The rest of the staining are just on structural parts and with the yellow/green on him, actually half-fit in.
I took the liberty of actual weathering and battle damage on boxset Megs while i covered the more visible yellowed parts.

Found this guy loose at a comic book store yesterday, absolutely cannot deal with the fact that 'rotting corpse' is an official mode.
They really need to make a Legends update to this guy.

Inspired by the conversation going on in the Studio Series 86 Thread post pictures of you as a child (or child at heart!) playing with toys from "Back in the Day" whenever that may have been for you!
Here's me at Christmas 1985 getting my first Dinobot

Here is me, my cousin, and brother playing with G1 Megatron on Christmas day 1984. My older brother is the one shooting the photographer. 
You can also see a Zartan in my hand if you closely enough.

My haul this week:
G2 Megatron there was pretty bare-bones, but I'm hoping $30 CAD was otherwise a good deal for him. He's a beefy boi! And just kinda towers over everything, too. Makes the upgrade from his Japanese counterpart, Megastorm into Gigastorm, seem like less of a big deal.
His head reveal doesn't seem to work the way it's described in the instructions (I looked them up online), and trying to press the head down earlier jammed it. I was able to get it back out, but I'm treating that carefully from now on -- especially since the hinge has some stress marks on it already.
His tank mode is amazingly solid. No rotating turret, though it can tilt up, but the way he's built, you'd have almost no idea he was a Transformer at a glance.
No idea if the electronics still work. I'm more focused on making sure that batteries weren't left inside and the screws for the cover aren't stripped.
Now, as far as I'm concerned, he doesn't need his accessories, strictly speaking, but they might be nice to have. Anyone know if there are any good repros out there?

"Megatron G2 1992" doesn't have the same ring to it as "MEGATRON RULES!", but the spirit is there, I guess.
When I had one, also second hand, it's head was very similar; head reveal didnt work right and also had stress marks around the hinge; probably worse as I recall one side was nearly broken off. But despite that; yeah he was an amazing figure for his time.
You should change the S to Z for Megatron Rulez!!
