Lockdown looked like he just popped out of his hobbit hole, all stocky and misshapen? And then his legs fall off.

I have mine posed very like those, and Ultra Magnus is explaining the fine points of law to Ratbat, whose response to literally everything is "RAISE TAXES" because he, like the other Casseticons, are literally Pokemon.

Yeah he is. Totally worth the $20, and not the $200 it would have cost to get a Soundblaster.

Not that I have anything against Soundblaster, it's just that I don't wanna drop 2 bills to get another Soundwave in different colors.

I mean, yeah, I would really like to have the MP-11 Starscream and Skywarp to replace my Wal-Mart ones, but I just can't chuck around that kinda capital for toys I pretty much already own

Look at how far back you can order from FP's catalogue on BBTS. Pretty certain their products are now produced in a quantity that gives you lots and lots of time to pick it up four to eight months from now after reviews and time to save up.

Hell they had Smart Robins in stock last week, right after I bought one off chimungmung for more.

I got Sigma L today. He totally needs to come with a scythe instead of two shotguns. Any ideas of one that would fit him? Transformation is pretty easy but man, what a sexy 'bot mode.

One of the fansproject things came with a scythe. And a Generations Blitzwing upgrade kit. Also you could probably take a scythe off a 1/100 Deathscythe but that would leave my Deathscythe sans a scythe and I can't have that.

poo poo man now I almost want that Blitzwing upgrade just so I can give a scythe to Sigma L

Yeah back in the day you had to preorder those fuckers and pray, but honestly it probably isn't the smartest thing to do.

You can even get MT Giant fairly easily as they keep re-re-releasing him.

Now they just need to do that for the MP Shockwave I missed out on the first three times.

I am absolutely in love with Sigma L (I'm a sucker for articulated wings, and those colors!), but totally agree on the shotguns. Toys dual wielding shot guns is a pet peeve of mine, and they can almost never double hand a single one either

Bombshell is solid, but he feels incomplete without a minicon partner, or just a weapon.

Even if I had the new version of Double Dealer that is pretty drat ridiculous for that much cash. On that note any good spots to find that upgrade kit for HFTD Bludgeon? I really want to replace those droopy weapons.

Digging stuff out of storage presently should have some pics up for you guys soonish. Got some bins I need to scour for hidden bits.

The new version of Double Dealer is pretty good. Granted I don't care for the plane alt mode because I wanted a big mutant bird since all the Decepticons have been pretty normal and I miss that freakish bizarre bad guy element. But his tank and robot modes are solid and his colors are properly done.

Yeah I like Doubledealer. More than Blitzwing. But yeah, I don't like him enough to spend $35 on a missile for him. I could probably figure a way to mount the missile from the G1 toy if I really wanted.

Yeah for 35 bucks you could buy Universe 2.0 Autobot Countdown an Ultra Class figure, and mount the missile from that onto Double Dealer.
