Some Transformers of mine.

Thought I'd finally post em up here: I've the pics for a while, Most of them are now gone, cuz I didn't like them so I got rid of them. Keep in mind most of my collection is to represent the characters because of how well they were presented in the anime / cartoon. Just something to look back and remember how cool it was.

First up is Transmetal 2 dinobot, keeping this one as he and the Original Dinobot are two different cons, why? Because their sparks weren't the same, the best part tho, they had their "warrior's honor"!




Next is Transformers the Movie 2007 Wreckage: This guy was only shown in pictures before the movie release, he was supposed to show up in the movie but, got cut out like Arcee. Very Striker (Beast Machines Vehicon General) like.

Next is Cybertron Longrack: Simply for being the first Longrack figure besides Beast Wars Neo Longrack, sure it's a repaint of Armada Hoist, but this has a new head, new arm and a Cyber planet key gimmick, he only showed in the Transformers Cybertron anime for about 20 seconds in his vehicle mode.



Cybertron Redalert: weakest Redalert ever, tho he's a refined Armada Redalert, he still sucks in comparison to him, got this figure way back about 5 years ago and thought this'd be a good replacement for Armada Redalert, but nvm I sold this guy off.



My very first Transformer or should I say, the Transformer I wanted to buy the moment it appeared in Transformers Energon, Scorponok seemed to look like the main boss of Decepticons as Megatron was still trapped and offline inside Unicron. He even convinced Tidalwave to join him. Never lettin go of this one, this is still the best Scorponok figure to date.


Cybertron Thundercracker and Overrride, I call Override, Nitro Convoy (like they did in Japan) cuz he (she in english) runs the speed planet, he is the fastest of all speedsters and well respected, Nitro Convoy the leader of the Speed planet! Thundercracker well, Never had a thundercracker figure that looks different from a Starscream so this one wins, he even earned the respect of Jetfire in Transformers Cybertron.


The old champion of Speed planet, Breakdown! Old geezer still has an impressive vehicle mode. Keepin him! And the green one's Undermine, I don't really know why I still wanna keep this guy in my collection, he wasn't a great character, worked under Flame Convoy on Jungle planet and failed miserably at guarding the so called sacred shrine that was pretty much where Flame Convoy kept the Cyber planet key. Guess there's no other Transformer named undermine that's actually a better character in the anime somewhere. Still I'm gonna keep him.

Dirtboss! hotheaded racer from speed planet who thinks his speed and power make him the greatest of all racers on speed planet, but, that's not all, he's actually just jealous of Nitro Convoy. Still he joined the Decepticons for 2 episodes lol. The colour itself represents a Decepticon colour so it's cool, another Decepticn to add to my collection eh?



Energon Omega Supreme! Other than the old Omega Supreme who was actually a huge brick that couldn't hold a pose, this guy's one of the biggest Transformers out there! He's able to powerlink with Optimus Prime and it has been said that he fought Unicron once and stopped him aswell. He was reactivated in Transformers Energon to help Optimus's team win the battle against Unicron and Megatron who has controll over Unicron.



After Starcream died a heroic death Transformers Armad, I wondered if he'll ever come back, if he did, what would be his new look, he appeared half damaged in Transformers energon, he couldn't remember his own past because Alpha Q ran out of energon while reviving Starscream from his spark. So Starscream wasn't complete, But, now Starscream had the ability to warp and disappear just like Armada Thrust, sideways and Wheeljack. Starscream (Energon Starscream) was sent to assasinate to Optimus Prime so alpha Q could take the energon on earth to revive his planet) He was later on tortured and converted back to a Decepticon by Megatron.


This is a gift from one my friend Sami, thankyou for giving me your Optimal Optimus, and as you know I turned it in to a dark Optimal Optimus. the paint is wearing off him now, since, it's been 3 years since I painted it. But, I will never throw it out as it's a present from a good friend. I've taken out the beast mode from it because I never liked the gorilla mode on Optimal Optimus.




3 BOSS COMBINERS IN TRANSFORMERS!
Aside from Sonic Convoy, who is just too much bulk on the back these 3 combiners are just perfect to be called the boss combiners. RID's Omega Prime (first 2 pics), just an epic Prime to display and have in a collection! Armada's Jet Convoy (second 2 pics), totally overloaded with fire power! and Energon's Omega Optimus Supreme (third pic), the combination of Omega Supreme (one of the greatest Autobots ever created).
"Ultimate energy combiner, Omega Prime!"


"Jet Convoy powerlink"


"OMEGA....Optimus Supreme!"


Here's all 3 of them standing together:



Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Skidz, good toy but not my style, I'm not in to movie figures because they just don't remind me of what I have watched in the Transformers world. Sold him off!



Here's my articulated Armada Galvatron with Cybertron SkyShadow's knee, it's way more posable now and it ca nstill be transformed in to a tank. I'll post up more pics of him later on in a seperate post.

Raiding my computer table....



Along with Prime....



Like I said I hate Movie figures, same with this Blazemaster, chicken legs are just weird....

Armada Prime... the best Prime ever IMO.

Energon Downshift...He's good for powerlinking with Energon Prowl or Roadblock, mainly bought him for Roadblock tho.


The voyager class movie Prime is an extremely nice figure, going to keep him, but I did sell the Longhaul (left) he just didn't do much in the second movie. fans out there love Longhaul, but for me...naaaaah. He was sold off aswell. I've kept the Prime, I can make this kinda pose and make him stand anywhere lol


Animated Deluxe Earth mode Optimus, he's not the best figure out there, but the BEST animated figure that doesn't look VERY animated as a Transformer, and it's very posable, love it and I'm keepin him aswell. A Prime that uses an axe as his main weapon? AWESOME!


This is something that would have made a better movie Barricade figure than a Sideways figure that only appeared for a few minutesi nthe movie and then he was killed off....i bought this toy cuz of the looks, then I sold it off to a Transformers fan cuz the character had like no character?



RID Optimus and Ultra Magnus, These guys are still the rarest to find, because they combine to form Omega Prime. 

Shoulder canons: 


Super mode:


This is the coolest Ultra Magnus I've ever seen in a Transformers show, the first tiem he appeared he wiped the floor with optimus and even the Decepticons including Scourge (Black Convoy)!


Some Animated stuff that I got rid of:
Well, the animated figures were very posable and accurate to the show, the show kicked ass but the toys just didn't have the Transformers feel to it that's why I got rid of them, Animated Lockdown (first pic) is a great character but, when I saw the new movie lockdown version that looks even better than the Animated version, i made plans to buy that one instead (I still haven't gotten him yet...). Sold animated Lockdown, Megatron (second pic, I only got this one because it came with the Earth mode Optimus, you couldn't buy it seperately) and even the Animated Leader class Megatron (third pic, he's a good figure but, no Animated for my collection anymore).




So this is it for the random transformers pictures I had in my comp for a longtime, I wanted people to just see what I think about what I sold off or what I kept. Anyway I'll have more random posts coming up soon. Till the next post!

1/144 Arios Gundam

 This'll be my last model kit build till I've moved to my new place, after I move I'll start on the rest of my kits, but untill then this is the end of building, reviewing and showing them off.

Must complain first, this kit is very loose! if you don't super glue the inner parts before you complete this kit, it'll just keep falling apart, I don't mean to glue up everything so you can't psoe it, but just make sure the joints are stiff enough that they won't fall apart easily, other than that amazing posability and great design.

First off the box:


I like the colours on it.



All ready to go?
This is the first Gundam model that I've built that actualy transforms. Surprise on my part since, I love transformers I should have built the transformable ones first no?

Side by side my 00!



The claws kind of remind me of Unicron, does anyone else see that?

Alright I don't have any more pics of this one than this, I had to pack it away asap, cuz I got tons of other stuff to pack aswell, I know i've been saying, "I gotta pack" but reall I haven't eventouched anything yet. So from now till I can get to building my kits again. laaaaaaater!

1/144 00 Raiser Condensor Type

The 1/144 00 Raiser Condensor type, pretty much the 00 Gundam that is. But, they use condensors in the movie since, the 00 lost it's GN drives in the last episode of Gundam 00 Season 2. this 00 Raiser can still use all the moves that the old 00 Raiser used with it's original GN drives, but, I can't last longer because the condensers have limited GN particles.

Anyway i build it with the GN drives cuz I didn't have a 1/144 00 Raiser with the new GN sword. So I'm going to display this one with his Gn sword. (now I've got all different Gn swords of Exia & 00 Gundams)
Box art:


btw about this pose on the box, the 00 Raiser never shot a beam, everytime he tried to (which it is doing on the boxart) he was taken down by the ELS (the pointy things on the box).





Front and side view of him just no wings, I like the 00 Gundam without the wings better and with the GN sword like the Exia.


Not so bad looking with the Raiser wings, but I still like him without the wings.



Play with sword?


"My sword?"


"Your sword maybe?"



"la na, na naaaaa na naa, na naaaa na naa, dhun dhun, dhun dhun dhun, dha dhun, dha dhun"
Strike a Raiser pose!



Wear a protective glove before you touch sharp object please.





DON'T cut your wings off!


Well, that's fine if you already did.

I don't think I need to explain why anyone else would want this kit do I? guess I should, well first of all it coems with all the pieces to make the original 00 Raiser, + you get the new condensor option, all the pieces and weapons are still there, I just didn't show them. get this one if you don't already have a 00 Raiser with Gn sword. But, any 1/144 00 Gundam or 00 Raiser is AN AMAZING kit.

Next up is Arios!

Nothing special really but,it does seem to look better than all other Transformers movie games.
