  1. Ah, I see your point. The animated films are better Transformers movies, 'cause they don't sideline the robots in favour of a human protagonist (as the live-action films consistently did). Still, I found "smart dog" Bumblebee a lot less obnoxious than "Badassatron" B-127. πŸ˜’
  2. Damn, Mog! That looks really good in red. Ouch. That explains how you got it done so quickly. πŸ˜… At least spray it down with a couple coats of matte topcoat to conceal the brush strokes a little. That'll help prevent the stickers from peeling off, too. πŸ‘
  3. I am compelled to remind Mike of Travis Knight's Bumblebee. Transformers One was a pleasant surprise (given its disastrous marketing campaign), but it has neither the heart nor the humour of Knight's film.
  4. I was wrong! πŸ˜“ They're seen fighting on the Daedalus. They're even called out in dialogue! I've been entirely too focused on the Destroids INSIDE the Daedalus. πŸ˜…
  5. Describes ThreeZero's Robo-Dou VF-1s, too! πŸ‘
  6. I recognize it. 1997 ARII vinyl figure, from their Macross 15th Anniversary line. I made some minor modifications to mine. πŸ˜‰
  7. I love the mottled weathering pattern you've got going there.
  8. What's with the FOUR thrusters? Is Blast-Off not a Space Shuttle any more? πŸ€” And why are they actively firing? 🀨
  9. That's a cool weathering job you did on your Masterpiece Beta, @Mog. Mine still has that "new toy" look. πŸ˜‰ I'd say the Toynami is closer to the SDF-1 color scheme, whereas Sentinel's blue is more VF-1J Max... Prolonged exposure to sunlight may have exaggerated the color difference on yours. πŸ€” That's either a rhetorical question, or you're just being facetious. πŸ˜…
  10. You know, I've always wanted one of these: Well actually, two. πŸ˜‰ They're great for expanding the SDF-1 displays, and extending the lore, too... Haven't you always wondered what this would've looked like? I also wanted to give you a clearer look at the tiny Destroids I've printed up: Gotta pull out my trusty macrofocus lens for close-ups, since the detail is too small to photograph without special equipment (and impossible to see with the naked eye). Yeah, I know there weren't any Spartans depicted on the SDF-1, but I didn't want them to feel left out. πŸ˜…
  11. I figured the mods just deleted it. Certainly wouldn't be the first time. πŸ˜’ Maybe it'll be safer here:
  12. They're all still prototypes at this stage; only the first "Gluu-ger" has been mass-produced.
  13. Now, there's an accessory I wouldn't even bother to 3D-print. πŸ˜‘
  14. As do the instructions: I can always print more. 😎
  15. Just barely. I tried shooting the pose from other angles, but this is all I managed to get before it collapsed... 😰 The Legioss definitely requires its own support arm, particularly if you want to display it in robot mode.
  16. I've always wanted to reproduce this dynamic pose, and Sentinel has now made it possible... ...with the help of a few 3D-printed accessories, of course. πŸ˜‰
  17. Konda works with the existing Gluu-ger body, but Bron and Rico do not.
  18. $450 USD? 😨 A very easy pass, indeed. πŸ˜’ This may be the first failed HasLab for TVC. πŸ€”
  19. Depends on how heavily your topcoat was applied. πŸ€” The softer may still be effective. It's intended to meld the decals to painted surfaces, and certainly takes away some of that surface shine... but not as effectively as a flat matte topcoat will. πŸ‘
  20. I found an old metal rod strong enough to handle the weight of this behemoth, so I'm considering whether to display "Storm Attacker" in flight... πŸ€” I like being able to see the engines: Of course, I'd have to wire them up with lights if they're visible. ☺️ It'll require a big wooden base for support, considering the weight... At least 5kg, in fact. 😰
  21. You seem to like Mr. Hobby products (as do I)... Seeing how much the decals stand out against the surface, I'd recommend applying these: The setter is often unnecessary, but the softer is indispensable.
  22. That listing seems to have disappeared entirely. 🀨
  23. I don't know if I could justify something that expensive, and I'm just about the biggest Mospeada fan you'll ever meet. It would be an easier decision if I didn't have to repaint it... πŸ˜’
  24. Decals always make such a big difference, don't they?
