Thanks! He was the pick of the litter imho.

That's a fun mold, I'd consider picking up one of the Bee flavored ones, maybe the goldier variant. I'm not a big fan of the weapon it comes with though.

Have you tried any of the alternate door wing configurations? Maybe I need to snap a pic of mine to share

Also, shove some of those muffins through the screen, I'm hungry...

I usually try to stick to one bot per mold unless its a re-tool. I am super picky with my toys as I only have a few shelves.

Go right ahead. I'd like to see what you mean. (He does look neat when you fold them in)

Prime Wheeljack was too much of a cool cucumber to be sillier than me.

youre a prime fan

Prime was my introduction to the series, so I had to have some toys from it.

This was my submission for poser Thursday on Reddit. The theme was "Monster Mash".


Ratchet: "What the-? Get off of me!"
Soundwave: "..."
Wheeljack: "Don't worry Doc, I'm comin' to save ya from the tentacle monster!"

That is a beautiful shot right there

That's fun!

Dem Prime figs are great

I forget, have you participated in the Seibertron photo challenge before?

I was not aware there was one, I'd like to take a shot at it though. This was my first try with making a photo scene and it was tons of fun!

(even though Wheeljack fell over a good 10 times. No highgrade for you buster!)

Got some new bots recently. Hardhead and a Complete TFP Ratchet (The one from the above pics is missing some peices and I finally broke down and ordered a complete one. The incomplete one is chilling in ambulance mode on my shelf bc he was my first TF.)

So happy to see him with his blades an no missing panels.


Brofist!


Furos likes to climb and Ratchet is protecting his little buddy.

Prime Ratchet was a good mold, loved him in Beast Hunter form.

Nice grabs!

Crossposting back from my Vault:

When I get a chance to go on a daytrip or vacation I should take some neat pics too. I wonder which bots would like to go on a day hike with me lol.

Please do! I'd love to see more of your collection and skills in the outdoors. Maybe Prime Ratchet, as he seems to be your mascotte?

I find that outdoors photography is a thing that just happens, a lot of the time. Always carry a bot on you somehow - it's why Legion, Legends and now Titan Masters are so great.

As carythewise said:

have cameraphone, will travel

Yeah, Ratch is my homebot. I find him to be an espeically inspiring character for two main reasons. (I may tell the long story someday, but for now I will keep it simple)

First being that in TFP Ratchet has been through a lot of hard things. We don't know all of what he has seen but we can guess that being a medic in a war has it's hardships. Even after all that he keeps going and wants to do more to help those whom he is loyal to.

The second being that he is a representation of his real life counterpart. It is very comforting to know that help is a phone call away if there is ever an emergency. Even in the scariest of times there is still hope and a reason to be vigilant.

I do sometimes volunteer with my city and parks dept, so maybe if I play my cards right I can get a pic of Ratch with a real life ambulance

Great choice picking him up!

If I wasn't so into the blue I'd give him a John Deer paint job. Though once I find some suitable model paints I will be giving him some details to make him a little more show accurate.

Any one from the Hasbro design team that sees this- Get on it. Now!

And I have to ask, are the knees on your Furos so incredibly loose that he can't stand until rested against something?

Nope. You may want to tighten them.

Thank you! Hardhead is my current favorite figure (we'll see after I buy Wolfwire...) and I don't like that Furos can't stand with Nightbeat and Crashbash. I am not sure if I have superglue, but I do have access to nail polish... not sure if that'll work at all. But thanks for the video!!!

Also, TF:P really really got me back into Transformers. I enjoyed the movies (yes, yes I did) and the original cartoon, but after I saw Prime, I really became a huge fan of Transformers. Curious, did you ever buy (or want to buy) the Cyberverse Ratchet? My brother had the toy, and it was a really awesome one.

I used nail polish in a craft syringe to fix my Soundwave. Nail polish and floor polish are both polymers. I just happened to have clear nail polish in my tool case from previous projects. Plus I think I would rather handle something that is made to go on fingers than what harsh chemicals might be in floor polish. (I'd still use either in a well ventilated area because hoo boy, does nail polish STINK!)

TFP was what go me into Transformers. A friend suggested I watch it because I liked the Bay movie. The Bay films are good popcorn flicks, but if you want substance I'd go with TFP or MTMTE. I could spend time picking out the flaws of the Bay flicks, but ultimately it draws in new fans and TFP would have never had funding if not for Micheal Bay's movies.

I have never been a fan of Cyberverse figures. They kinda lack detail to me but I can see why others may like them.

Guess who came in the mail yesterday? Yep I am spamming pics of Ratchet again.

While some aspects of this toy aren't as nice as TFP Ratchet I will say the transformation is a lot smoother. Just gotta make sure to open his chestplate so that all the tabs line up when he is in vehicle mode. Probs gonna add some color to his vehicle mode at some point because it's a little plain looking. Might try to paint his guns too.

Doing a little light reading before bed?


Ninjas! (Wheeljack isn't new but I new that He would get along with Dust Up)


Group shot, kinda blurred but meh.

Best kind of pose.

I did something similar myself!

Aww

Perhaps I am silly but robots doing cute things gets me. I suppose because it's unexpected and doesn't feel as forced. Hence why I like Chromedome and Rewind but find romance in most stories boring as all get out.

Right? There's something really endearing about robolove, especially in plastic toy form, for some reason.
