People keep going on tangents about these so it's about time we had a thread for them.
Transformers are these small figurines that can turn into vehicles, animals, and sometimes guns! People like to collect them for various reasons. OPL even famously used a megatron pistol to "curse" people!
Share thoughts on Transformers below, post pics of your little macho robo dudes, whatever you wanna post here as long as it's gotta do with these guys.
Recently I've been getting into these things again slightly and got a few of the new "combiner wars" ones. Specifically Megatron and Starscream, and there's a few others too I got when the line started in the old "collector general thread".
Starscream is taller than megatron somehow and that makes me kinda glad some people put out massive leg extenders for megatron. leg-atron? Either way the leg extenders look pretty great. Starscream also comes with his infamous crown from the original animated movie, but it's red bits are mostly unpainted. I fixed this with some cheapo sharpie paint that miraculously was the exact same shade of red they used on the crown despite me not checking in advance. Only thing wrong with this guy is the fact he's got no shoulder vents and no wrists. This can be fixed with some light modding, and i aim to do that at some point.
Speaking of Megatron, I now own both of the US versions of The combiner wars Megatron, and the g1 version has modded hands installed. They're third party masterpiece Optimus replacement hands. Kinda funny how this Megatron's default hands are the same size and shape as masterpiece prime's. Masterpiece prime is one of those figures I'll probably never be able to afford, so it's nice to be able to add some $7 hands to a figure I can afford. I really like how they managed to pretty much just make an accurate G1 Megatron homage with a G2 tank mode homage and Armada mini con ports for putting cars on his shoulders.
I'll post some pics later, I don't have the camera out.
