There's a dude on DA who apparently makes custom figures, and he's done a bunch of MTMTE characters. They're extremely nice and I want them.



edit: holy gently caress, based on the WIP images of some of them, they're all Lego Bionicle hybrids. That's nuts. Good choice for solid, cheap joints, though.

Also, it looks like the running theme for this issue is flushing big important ideologies down the drain unceremoniously. I guess Megatron's newfound pacifism was mostly based in his fear that he wouldn't be able to fight well with the fool's energon? And for a moment as important like that, you'd think he wouldn't just go down like a chump in a few pages. Deathsaurus is a-ok with human wave tactics while the heavy-hitters who could actually put up a fight stay back where it's safe. Overlord apparently wasn't so keen on going toe-to-toe with Megatron despite that being his singular motivation for years, back before the Wreckers ever took him down. Chromedome also sure got over his last, final, ultimate oath to never poke into people's brains ever again, REAL QUICK and look, he's none the worse for it!

SlothfulCobra posted:

He gives his whole speech about why he doesn't want to fight, how his fighting's done him and the world around him no favors, and if he starts up again,. he'll take to violence like a recovering alcoholic. Then Ratchet tells him about the fool's energon. Ravage dies, but it's not like Megatron didn't know that their lives were already at stake. The only thing that's changed for Megatron in the moments between his speech and him taking up arms is learning about the fool's energon. Really it reads like all it's saying is that pacifism is for losers and violence is great.
Did you actually read the comic? Because literally everything you're commenting on is wrong and pretty clearly and directly explained.

Every time I see those for a split second I think "oh wow I gotta find pics of the alt modes" and then I remember that people who customize transformers without alt modes are the worst people on earth.

With how most people display their Transformers, they might as well not.

Comic-proportioned renditions of the characters, which these are, would require some significant engineering work to be able to accurately transform if it's even possible at all, and it would look poo poo in one or both modes because of it. Those are great display pieces.

Until they make transformers that transform themselves, there's not really a lot of options.

I'm kind of surprised you aren't breaking out in a cold sweat from the idea of Transformers that transform themselves. All the complexity gone.

I always get kind of disappointed when peeps post photos of their shelves and it's a pile of dudes just kind of standing there. Not only is it boring, it always turns a collection of lovingly designed pieces of toy art into an indistinct mass of primary colours and roboty bits.
Which is why I rotate my displays and only show a part of my collection at a time. And because I'm a silly person, I like to pose them into little nonsense vignettes.

Nonnef, after responding to me fairly quickly when asked about where the stuff was and saying they were being shipped out (months ago), then went silent immediately upon being asked for a refund, has now shipped out my stuff. What a fucker, they weren't shipped at all, he just didn't want to give a refund.

One of our friends stopped by and she brought her two sons with while I was at work yesterday. They managed to break several bots and a dozen missiles and accessories from various figures have gone missing, probably into the stomach of the toddler. Thankfully she is a good friend and has offered to replace or pay for what they ate/broke.
