New toy purchases

[Countdown]

Here's a pic of my recent aquisitions. I listed them before, but never shared pictures.


Custom Alternators Blur and cliffjumper, Alternator Grimlock, G1 Inferno, G1 Defensor, G1 Tracks, G1 Prowl, Energon Strongarm (ithink), Warbot: Defender (aka, springer), WST Shockwave & Blaster


It's awesome having a non-knockoff of Defensor.

Defender is great (perhaps my fav of the bunch). However, there are a few changes I would like - perhaps an add on set? I'd like to see a large chain gun that can be mounted under Springer in chopper mode - perhaps a targetmaster? Also, I'd like to see his feet fixed (they can't balance the figure very well). And maybe a shield to hold in robot mode. That last one is iffy in my mind, but I think a chaingun would be freakin' awesome!

Great finds, Countdown!

<----- me jealous of Warbot Defender.....

Nah, he just needs a bigger gun rather than those poncy pistols.
A cannon perhaps?

That's what I added to mine. {its just stolen from an energon snowcat and had a handle post added.}

I've never seen that version of springer. Got more pics?

[Deszaras]

I've never seen that version of springer.

Its technically a fans project warbot defender, not an official TF. but we all know its springer really.

[Bumblebee]

think that its the one that was packaged with ratbat. a target exclusive (in the usa)

[Countdown]

Like Dez said, it is a third party robot. Not officially endorsed by Takara/Hasbro.

You can get him at sites such as TFSource and BBTS since they sell third party robots.

I added a silver autobot symbol to mine, but I offcentered it.

Next time I order a new batch of reprolabels I will recenter it.

LD2062, when I get more time, Tomorrow after work methinks - I will post some pics if Dez hasn't beat me to it!

[SentinelPrime]

Reduced pics on next post

[Countdown]

Very nice SP. I am planning on ordering him on payday. Very nice colors. That custom paint job must have been expensive. Does the custom still come with the cannon and the shield?

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

[LD2062]

Nice. I'm a big fan of this figure. Where do they sell it?

[Countdown]

You can get either Warbot: Defender (Springer) or Knight Morpher Commander (Prime) at bbts.com or tfsource.com or evilbay. However, if I recall correctly evilbay is more expensive - probably for listing fees and the such.

Here's pics of my latest purchases. Knight Morpher Commander compared to HOS Custom Prime by Eric Chan and painting by Sabrina!And finally a completed near mint conditioned G1 Overlord. Only missing some smaller rader type pieces.

I didn't want to clog the forum with 15 pics so just click the link. Hope that helps.

[LD2062]

Nice. Wish I had one. I'll have to keep my eye out for it.

[Soundbluster]

Just got my hands on MISB Encore Soundwave and Bruticus for quite a cheap price - all look great however noticed a mold problem with Bruticus, or rather in particular Onslaught... his double-barrelled cannon is fitted the wrong way round on its axis which means that his 3rd mode doesn't work right as the cannon has to face away from the ramp rather than at it otherwise it'll fall off.

Must get pics to explain what i mean

[audionmotionink]

picked up vector prime at the flea market (minus accessories)

then picked up a complete set of rotf keychains
powered up prime
megatron
bumblebee
starscream

noticed instead of the character that is packaged the keychains have bumblebee pictured with the correct named figure (bumblebee and prime both have the bumblebee pic on the name tag

starscream and megatron both have starscream on the name tag. i wonder if this is true with all of them or just an "oops"

i picked up a bumblebee movie keychain (from the 1st movie) with primes picture by bumblebees name. all of the other figures had the correct pic/name/figure so idk.....

i'll post pics tonight.

lmk if anyone else has these particular figures so i can make sure.

[Countdown]

I keep staring at your overlord. He looks amazing! Love the powermasters on the shoulders. Great catch there!

I have Goldbug, Cliffjumper, Bumblejumper, Huffer, and Waverider on the way. Waverider will be misb (with the box being not so minty). Will muster all the willpower I have to not open him on the spot.
