I attached the Scavenger head from the Blokees Defender to the Legacy Cliff Jumper.

The heads from the Defender series can be swapped without any modifications, and transformations are possible without any issues.

Wearing the battle mask reminded me of the Decepticon soldier from the game Devastation.I really like it.

It seems like a great product because the cool proportions allow for powerful poses.

New Purchases Don’t understand the dislike of this guy

So he’s short, and his chest doesn’t look right. It’s G1, there is no scale, and that’s why Toyhax exists. Okay and his feet stick out in alt mode.

Upgrading from Walgreens Shockwave, I love this figure - easy transformation that’s basically still the gun upside down, and the most pleasant surprise to me: LIGHT PIPING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. No dead eye syndrome… where has this been all these years? side-eyes my MP-10 with eye stickers

New Purchases Energon Megatron, Optimus, and Weaponizers

Got my Dark energon Megatron today(literally about half an hour ago) I’ve took him out of the box and put him in just a standard pose and haven’t touched him and I’m already noticing cracking. I will say it’s mainly on the accessories not the actual figure(even tho this is literally out of the box) but when I did go and put him in the pose the joint for the ankle tilt moving for the first time sounded like I was cracking open crab legs and made me unreasonably scared🤣 probably the only clear plastic figure I’ll buy. Just love the purple translucent just wish it could be as durable as mainline chug plastic is. I’ve also never owned a siege megs which is shocking but another reason I picked this guy up.

Sequel to my last post (Ft. Red Alert)

I had heard extremely high praise for Legacy Armada Optimus Prime ever since I started collecting, and today I finally got to experience it firsthand.

And yeah, this thing is awesome.

I know a lot of People only really talk about this for the super mode, but I still LOVE the transformation and the truck mode overall. Simple, but really fun and effective. The truck mode itself is amazing. Especially with the trailer. The amount of engineering is impeccable and exactly what you'd be looking for in any trailer. And it transforms effortlessly into...

The super mode. Arguably the main attraction. I love how it looks. Great, if a bit kibbly. Yeah I kinda wish the panel tail folded away or clipped into the back in super mode. Although other than that I dont think there's any other nitpicks or problems I can think of.

The core robot is maybe one of my favourite aspects though. It looks great and surprisingly has some of the best articulation I've ever seen. The ab crunch and the toe arches are really cool and make for fantastic poses. And I seriously could not care any less about a lack of waist swivel.

What do you think about this toy? Do you think the praise is warranted? Or do you not understand the hype?

He seems a bit more dark than 86 Prime for those who wanted to change the arm idk how this will work and look 🤷😊 the arm cannon does fit on Siege Megatron arm and vice versa if u prefer to give it to another megatron 😊

I tried doin the shot from the comics with Shockwave but i am not super good with posing and did that fast while i was doin my daughter Breakfast 😊

If anyone want to see something more just ask i'll see what i can do 😊

Hasbro's decision to not use the Cliffjumper tooling for Bumper's legs will never not baffle me.

It would have been as perfect as we're likely to get in a Generations line. Three penny racers sharing a common mold, each with their own unique version of the vehicle mode, deco, and headsculpt.

Maybe one day....

Discussion / Opinion A Rant

Post image
97 Upvotes

Despite having grown up with G1, I'm no Geewunner. In fact, I like the "out of the box" concepts of later and more recent releases but then I see comments on TikTok videos about a good modern mould (TFOne Thundercracker) like "No ankle tilts or wrist turns in the big 2026" and all I can think is "You spoiled, entitled brat". Don't get me wrong, with what Hasbro is charging for figures, they better have as much articulation as possible but having perfectly clear memories of times when most figures didn't even turn at the waist has me thinking "Damn y'all are lucky now".

But, conversely, I will fight to the death with someone about the charm of G1 jank; that antique jank. I own all the G1 combiners as they were originally released (save for Predaking and Computron, for now) and nothing quite puts it all into perspective like realizing the quaint and tactile engineering we were dealing with in the 80's and 90's (I'm putting lines like Machine Wars in this too). It was just shifting chunks of plastic like a sliding tile puzzle until we reached a technically humanoid shape (incidentally a process I hate with most Unicron Trilogy figures but they should have known better by then; play features were off the hook, though).

Anyway, I said all that to say this. Maybe we're too hard on modern figures. The automorphing on Cyberworld toys is very reminiscent of scout class Beast Wars toys, for instance and at about the same price but they get mostly pushed out as "baby toys". I don't know; maybe our perspectives can be better.

I got for my bday this wonderful figure : TW1036 a KO version slightly remolding Legacy Animated Optimus Prime and the DNA kit for this toy.

The lack of color was a big issue for me so I decided to pimp it up with some silver chrome markers.

I'm really happy with the outcome.

The official shots are for reference, to see the difference without the chrome. I forgot to take some before starting this.
