Nodosaur posted:I found out Slugfest's preliminary name was Crunchback. I wanna turn this into a character. My ideas so far are: Clearly he's the Decepticon Secret Police equivalent to Colombo, everyone underestimates him because he's just a little robot dinosaur guy when in fact he's a brilliant detective

whats the best way to pick up some micronauts/diaclone little pilot dudes? On ebay vintage comes with a premium and I dont think the new diaclone line has them available standalone without the bigger vehicles. Am I just stuck with crawling through ebay endlessly?

Nodosaur posted:Wait, how come nobody told me someone was doing a Ruination? It's a retool of MMC All Built In Bruticus, so this is the first we're seeing of it. No need for build-up when the source toys have been out for years. As a result, it won't have Scramble City capacity. Fixed left arm, fixed right arm, possibly swappable legs.

Knormal posted:The all-built-in combiners are really all I'm interested in with the third-party scene anymore. Otherwise everyone's just doing their own versions of toon-based Masterpiece figures that have existed for years, or over-stylized characters that don't appeal to me. They're cool tricks but they're too drat small to fit any of my collection scales. I'd have to just get them to be singular display pieces and I don't have the space for that. It's a shame, because they're really clever designs. The_Doctor posted:MMC need to do more Reformatted/IDW figures. Didn't they say they were completely done with that? I vaguely remember one coming out a year or two ago and that being the end of it.

Ugh, hosed up putting UW Scrapper back into bot mode and snapped the little tab on his bucket hinge that locks it in place in Devastator mode. Tried fixing it once and had it too tight so it promptly snapped again when I tested it. Imma get this right but it might take some fiddling and cutting/sanding. And I don't trust that quack Hook enough to get his help lol (Think Long Haul's waist swivel ratchet may have borked itself as well, but that's not mission critical for forming Devastator. Having a working foot is.)

Good Listener posted:That Superion looks busy as hell though. They're also loving terrible figures. That Silverbolt is probably the worst third party toy I've handled in years. As a plane nerd I was into the idea of "realistic" colored Aerialbots but all I can say is stay far, far away from that set. Just awful quality control and transformation design.

It's like having a supervillain who's named after something that kills you. There's got to be some 90s era edgelord called Cardiac, right?

Anyway Quillobyte and I did everything we could to make Breakdown look beat up and lovely, right down to him being an infamously bad car. I hope we succeeded.
