Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

Here are some pics of USKO CW Devastator. I fancied stickering-up Devvy Junior with some repro faction symbols and so did some comparison pics with the official version and my slightly customised Brudicus (which has gold-painted hands, feet and guns).
I just wish it were less flimsy, but I dig that they made this. (I also keep belatedly remembering I still need the yellow one.) I wish Predaking would get similar treatment.

That worked for me, too, after a bit. I don't click the legs into place as a truck. The cab seemed too high, too, but I think it's correct. I have to remember that in a way, he's a jumped-up basic figure. He's still cool - I've got him displayed w/ Bumblebee, Swerve, Brawn, Windcharger, and Tailgate.
Yeah, that was one of those "this is awful. I'm going for it!" moments.

I now know where you are from and from what generation with that slang you used ("...It's a cuddly toy!")#ruinedationforever
Aside from the background and pose being generally bleh (no room!), pretty sure I got some bits wrong here. Haven't transformed stuff into a combiner in a LONG time, and these KOs (except shuttle Blast Off/Movor) are not the best with tolerances (and as you can see, this Onslaught KO uses Hot Spot's shoulders).
I think I meant to try and print off that upside-down G2 sigil for the chestplate, but I may just go and use a Decepticon sigil since this was a US RID exclusive. I dunno.
Brucie Bonus with a CW-style Legends class buddy!
Anyway, I would go with a Decepticon symbol. For me, both the urban and desert sets as army builders of generic warriors using the Bruticus blueprint as a "standard" combat design for a "combat gestalt". In my head canon, these gestalts aren't as powerful as Bruticus and have less armour, but they're a bit smarter and the team members are more able to mix and match with other coloured teams, giving them versatility. If they swap, the gestalt's skills and personality swap too.
I imagined there being a jungle and night cammo version too (basically toned-down colours, taken from each G2 member and/or Baldigus), or any "military" styled design that took one's fancy. I would probably include a jet or another type of vehicle to replace the space shuttle to give each team a bit of an individual look/use (and because a space shuttle is rather a bit silly, if we're honest) too.
PS: I love how all of that figure is camouflaged...except for two glaring shoes, but who cares when they make it look so cool?

Sorry to disappoint, but I've just been watching a lot of OSW Review lately (my YouTube watching has increased exponentially over the pandemic), and they drop the phrase quite a bit.I now know where you are from and from what generation with that slang you used ("...It's a cuddly toy!")

I dig that headcanon, and now I wonder what a version of this in the Armada Night Attack colors would look like. That sleek charcoal and dark teal with white accents is a woefully underused color scheme.
I remember being a bit surprised when looking up reference photos, turns out the hands and feet don't match. And yeah the sudden purple an odd color choice to go with for something that is otherwise so camo-driven. It's a much-needed and welcome pop of color though.
I miss this era tbh. I remember being very antsy for G1 Revisited Stuff even then, but the seeming brand principle at the time of "do 3 new things for every 1 homage" really did give us a lot of good things.
Kingdom Blaster got an upgrade today.
Those are fun. It would've been cool to pick up Bike Robo at a decent price, but from what I've seen $40+ for a deluxe is a bit too much.
But...where's Battle Cat?
Did some searching and stumbled onto a fanmode. Trailer clips onto the back rail, shoulder bits actually kind of clip onto the walls a little bit. It's a bit odd looking, but it's not that bad.
(If anyone has a spare pair of missiles for this, or just the left one, lmk. Got two right-side missiles.)

He's actually on the entertainment center behind them. Big Powered is blocking the view of him.
Reformatted Galvatron is a fantastic figure. The clear plastic isn’t bad at all and is very solid. Got him back in November (with slammer and pipes), but never actually got around for a proper gallery of him. So with everyone getting theirs now, I think it’s a good time to take one.
