Hello Everybody!
Brand new to the board but a longtime toy collector. Boardmember Ramjet invited me over from another, nonTF-board after I shared a few of my customs with him.
Like I said, I am a longtime collector, but I'll admit my Transformer knowledge and collection is a huge weak spot. My collection is mainly Chogokin (japanese die-cast robots, like Shogun Warriors), Lego, and a huge range of action figures from the original GI Joe up to modern stuff like Justice League, Avatar the Last Airbender, and some 25th GI Joes and TF Classics.
Enough of the pleasantries, here's the TOYS!!!
Arcee Minicar:
I haven't quite finished this Prime, mainlt because I haven't decided who he is: Decepticon, Autobot, or Green Lantern.
and some Classics 'upgrades'. I should start by mentioning I really, really HATE the light gray plastic used on Optimus Prime and a maybe a few others, so I invested in some Krylon Fusion Silver (before and After):
Also, I thought Hasbro really screwed up on a few of Ultra Magnus' parts as well. If he's all white, wtf is up with those black hands/shins/knee joints?? So, a little fusion (white for the hands and shins, silver for the knee joints and gun), a litle touch upon the face and waist, and I have a much better Magnus, IMO:
Finally, I really like the 'City Commander' set that's been released, but I can't bring myself to spend the $100+ on it, so I created my own upgrade. Behold, the Magnus Cannon:
In this mode, doors that hang off Magnus' forearms act as hand guards, and his smaller blaster (attached to his back) act as an 'exhaust'. The cannon connects to his back via a cable that Magnus holds in his right hand.
'so that's why they call you ultra magnus' -bumblebee
