I would buy a Constructiwave, Onslaught-colored seeker and Silverbolt-colored Seeker
I can't see any of those images.
I need someone to put the cover to Grays Sports Almanac 1950-2000 over the front of the Covenant there, and have Alpha Trion talking conspiratorially to Vector Prime about it.
These, and a Rodimus-colored Snarl.
I wish I knew an affective way to light and photograph a large group setting.
This may be the best I ever did of this size, and it took my entire garage and buying a set of cheap king-sized white sheets from Target. I only can do shots of this magnitude maybe two or three times a decade. I need something that can handle more of the scale I'm showing in the first pic, since that is much more common.
I think I need to invest in a large back-drop that is on a tripod that I can set up whenever I'm wanting to take a larger group picture. I also need some lighting that I can set up from the front to go along with my top lighting to illuminate more evenly.
Man... I want trypticon so badly.
And the pics are awesome. Even with your lack of lighting and equipment. The scale alone is incredible.

He really is a high water mark for the Titan range in general. Looks really good in all modes, IMO. To me, it feels like the creature-based Titans are just better at achieving what they set out to achieve. Omega Supreme is kind of the outlier to that for me (I think he's incredible), but Scorponok and Trypticon are just outstanding.
Basically, the best Titans are the ones without normal hands.
Who are you to decide what a NORMAL hand looks like!?
*runs away crying, trying to hide the fact that he has one crab-claw hand and one rocket thruster hand*
Well, that automatically makes you one of the best Titans.
Thank you so much for that context! That pretty much solves my literal biggest pet peeve with that series.
I didn’t wanna blame it on the man the myth the legend (
) that is David Kaye, but I also know it was the fault of the directional choice of the show and not him that made it all ass.I remember he’s even stated on several panels or in one-on-one chats where his experience of voicing Armada Megs was just something along the lines of: he showed up, did his lines, got his paycheck, shrugged, and went home. But then he’s as hammy as Megs when he talks about his experiences with BWs bc he actually enjoyed it. Now I know why he didn’t ever enjoy AEC, cus his choice of voice for Megs never actually made sense and he knew it.
In that case, I guess it would make more sense imagining Armada Megs with a more Fred Tatasciore or Brian Tyree Henry voice, cus those are the more boastful brutal Megsses I can recall.
Venin was one of my “it” toys when I was a kid. I remember mine came in some sort of KO 4-pack or something.
Back then my cheap-ass Viet-immigrant family didn’t know how multipacks (or sets that seemed like multipacks, like Pretenders
) worked, and thought it was just a chance to pick up gifts for the entire family in one box! So crap happened like one year my cousin got first pick so I was asked to hand over the Starscream figure to my cousin even though my name was on the gift tag, but I got to keep the Pretender shell and all the accessories cus you know it’s the bigger figure how bout that why you crying!
Anyways, Venin (or a KO version of him) was included in a TF KO multipack (once again!
) and one year I finally got first pick and I snatched that Venom up so gd quick cus his colors were just non-binary visual-stim heaven (still are!). I took it everywhere with me and played with it until it crumbled to dust (which was like a month later, bc KO 
).Anyhoo I can’t wait for mine to arrive.
The real version this time, that can actually pose. And transform all the way cus all the pieces fit the way they should. And has all the accessories that he can actually hold bc those will also fit the way they should. And I now have a really expensive baseball bat I can use on anyone’s face if they try to take it from me…

I had Venom/Venin as a kid, got him second hand at a flea market. Never knew what to do with the wings, so did what made sense to me, pointed them up. And its what I've decided to do with the new one as well.
It blocks some forward articulation, but I prefer that trade off, to him having mile long tailcoat that gets in the way of everything else.

From what I can recall hearing Kaye and Chalk both say about their time in the Unicron Trilogy, it sounds like both of them didn't even audition for the roles and were just given them out of convenience since both already had experience voicing a Megatron and an Optimus in the past.Thank you so much for that context! That pretty much solves my literal biggest pet peeve with that series.

Chalk has even gone on record saying that there were times during Armada where he would try to add more to his performance, but the director would keep telling him to dial it back down a bit, which is ironic considering that across all three shows, Chalk was one of the actors who gave a mostly consistently good-to-great performance (which was likely due to his character being one who, in all of Armada, all of Energon, and a good chunk of Cybertron, didn't have any mouth movements to match his lines to).
The only time I can recall Chalk not giving a good performance in all of the Unicron Trilogy was in the Armada episode "Tactician" (the one that introduced Thrust and Jetfire), in which, for some unknown reason, every single one of Optimus's lines was delivered as though Chalk was doing an impression of Ben Stein, completely bored, monotone, and devoid of any emotion at all. That had to have been done on purpose, since in no other episode does Chalk's Optimus sound so dead inside.
Honestly, if I were to liken Armada Megatron's Japanese voice to any English-speaking actor's voice, it'd probably be Kevin Michael Richardson, either his Gantu voice from Lilo & Stitch or his Shredder voice from TMNT 2012. But of course, I know he's not an anime voice actor or part of the same Vancouver talent pool as the rest of the Armada dub cast.In that case, I guess it would make more sense imagining Armada Megs with a more Fred Tatasciore or Brian Tyree Henry voice, cus those are the more boastful brutal Megsses I can recall.
Thinking more within those specific criteria, I'm starting to realize that the voice Trevor Devall used for Cybertron Megatron in that show's first episode (Kaye didn't voice Megatron in that episode for whatever reason, and the DVD redubs never went back and replaced Devall with Kaye) might have actually fit Armada Megatron better. For better reference, Devall also voiced Cybertron Scourge, who had a very similar "barbarian warlord" feel to Japanese Armada Megatron.
