Okay, dug out the original and rescanned. Some yellowing with time, but I didn't want to do a lot of post-processing. ---Dave ETA: That symbol on her chest is the faction symbol for MACE, the Mobile Artificial Consiousness Empire. My RoboMACs pastiche of Decepticons.

Heh, similar thought here, although I added some n's to imply she had an Insecticon-like speech tic. ---Dave, should probably rescan that thirty year old piece at some point....

Sigh. I had finally found a perfect solution for storing the Blokees "pogs," an old pill bottle of just the right diameter and tall enough to store several dozen more. Then I opened the Defender wave 2 box and found they'd changed to rectangular cards. ---Dave

This might be mentioned deep in the general AotP thread, but I took pictures and labeled them. ("Armpit the screws" is from facebook's bad translation of one of the first posts about this error.) ---Dave

Ah, so I should expect to have six Constructicons and no Devastator once I finish opening my cases. ---Dave

I got three cases of Defender series today. I had not realized they were so much smaller than the ones I already had...no wonder three cases only cost me $100. ---Dave, got the Megatron coin in with Ironhide

Sentinel Prime also has realistic end-of-movie mode. :) ---Dave, has three cases of Blokees arriving tomorrow thanks to the sale the official site had

Or another piss? ---Dave

Yeah, I might get Sky-Byte, but the more I see of this line the more it makes me think I won't even bother reviewing ANY of it. ---Dave

Finally finished Shockwave. I was being patient and putting many thin layers on so it wouldn't be lumpy. The blade weapon is still trash, and got sticky as soon as I painted it. Several layers of sealant have made it slightly less sticky. So I gave him Sauron's mace. Well, most of it...

Likewise, although it's not TOO early...listed for July. ---Dave

And here's Wheelie, plus a "penny for scale" shot. ---Dave

Here's Shockwave about half done. The black rubbery plastic does get very sticky under the silver paint I used, but a coat of Pledge Future mostly fixed that. ---Dave

One of my bigger complaints about the recently re-released DotM Shockwave is that it's so DULL, you can barely tell it has any purple at all. I also figured I could do a slightly better job on the Brains and Wheelie minifigures. (The paratrooper isn't worth saving.) Here's Wheelie and Brains...

The new molds look like they're trying to make more like Scorponok, where they sort of have individual altmodes. Like, not only does it look like an entire Snarl has his head rammed up the cloaca of an entire Grimlock, Slipstream has her own wings which make her look like a plausible jet on her...

The danglers are reaching Claremontian levels. ---Dave

I reviewed the first wave: https://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/BW/Artifacts/Swapticon1. Also, behold the Double Buttmaster! ---Dave

Felt kinda SCP to me. ---Dave

Yeah, I've read the King Arthur series. Finding my own copy of Knight Life (and Howling Mad, his reverse werewolf novel) was one of my used bookstore "holy grails" for a long time in the 90s and early 00s. Peter David was the first celebrity I interacted with online, on Usenet in the summer of...

"Could I offer you a trying bunny in these times?" ---Dave
