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

Logos Prime is right there, but I always wished he'd had a different color scheme rather than being a repurposed Soundblaster. Imagine something like Production Noisemaze?

Was actually talking about this with a friend the other day!
It is weird that a character like Logos Prime is just Soundblaster, but it's probably the only reason he got to exist.

IIRC Soundblaster from Cybertron Soundwave was a fairly straightforward redeco idea Takara wanted to get out there, but they were also doing some Beast Wars reissues. They wanted some exclusive fiction to set up Primal and Megatron meeting again in their OG Beasties bodies so they made their new Soundblaster release happening around the same time a Vector Prime-esque ancient timey wimey dude.
Basically a sorta precursor to the Legends manga where there's fiction just grabbing whatever happens to be coming out and weaving a story- any story- out of them.

I could see Logos getting a much needed revamp colour-wise if he'd ended up on the official Thirteen roster. And honestly he probably should have, if only to spare us the "Optimus is the Timeless Child Thirteenth" nonsense.

As-is though he's stuck in a weird in-between in more ways then one. A Prime character with very Thriteen-esque powers but... not. And stuck with Soundblaster's colours for... reasons.

I love how MASSIVE Cybertron Soundwave looks here. Between the lanky frame and the huge wings and the being made in a time when production budgets went further, he looks amazing. That paired with the distinct aesthetic gives him ancient Thirteen-ish vibes almost next to the more straight-G1 figures there. (Logos Prime is right there, but I always wished he'd had a different color scheme rather than being a repurposed Soundblaster. Imagine something like Production Noisemaze?)

I've been kicking around the idea of picking up 2 Earthspark Soundwaves to be his minions.

I am looking at these and just cursing Hasbro for not releasing this version first.

I prefer the original release’s purple, I guess. Lol

I like the original's purple and translucent teal, but I like the darker gray

 

[unluckiness]

I'd prefer translucent plastic to opaque but not the almost emerald green shade they used. The new fluorescent teal is so beautiful that I wouldn't mind the opaque parts if they had some detailing since the now-featureless surfaces are gonna need stickers or something to not look so bland.

 

[Sabrblade]

The bright shade of teal makes them look radioactive (that can't be good).

I loved the Toyhax set with the window towers, I know some thought it was too much, but it and a few of the original sheet combined were great. I also trimmed the edge of a sticker sheet to frame the chest door edge, and that stopped the flop. On the other hand, I do see the appeal of never having to worry about sticker wear.

 

[unluckiness]

I'm hoping that a large Decepticon logo sticker intended for car windows will help the sea of teal. If not, I might bust out the Gundam water slide caution stripes.

This, pretty much. It's the darker grey that has me cursing.

I can go either way on the rest.

Ow. Also, doing an experiment attaching the file rather than linking the picture as flikr no longer shows full sizes.

Edit: Thank you, that works better! I've always been hesitant to do direct uploads, though, I know file space costs money.

Dang.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Edit: Trying the image imbed, WOW, I need to work on the resizing...Let see how this looks.

Attachments by default display images as thumbnails. They don't embed images like normal IMG tags do.

 

[Platypus Prime]

Nuts. Flikr just changed its rules and I really don't want to pay for image hosting right now.

Imgur is free.

 

[Sabrblade]

Imgur is free.

As is ImgChest, as an alternative.

Plus, this forum's image embedding function lets you embed images uploaded directly from your computer.

 

[Platypus Prime]

I'll test that out...looks like my usual sizes are too big. Thank you!

You'd think he'd be embarrassed about going out in public like this. But then again . . .



I need to learn how to use my little airbrush (bought a simple little budget one off Amazon). Then I'll remove and rechrome his shiny parts and put on new Toyhax stickers. There's one other spot around his windshield that I might repaint if I can match the color.
