Scorponok looksalright, he'd look even nicer with a slight repaint and new hands. Too bad he's better than the kingdom version :lol:

That RID figure looks reeeeeeeaaaaaaaly nice. :-D

It’s been a hot minute since i posted anything. I wanted to share some updated photos of my reworked Ark cliff. I have the lower section pretty close to being completed. The next step for it is to add resin, then add additional water effect details. Once i get that completed, i can start on the upper selection.

Enjoy,

Here we have the reworked Ark scene all completed. I have it back on the floating shelf in my room.

Overall this one turned out really good and i am extremely happy i decided to redo this. I am sure i will move characters around especially since with Beachcomber shipping soon. Then later on adding in Brawn. Otherwise it is set for now.

Enjoy and thank you for looking,

Something other than a project i am working on. I recently bought some upgrade kit/parts for ROTB Battletrap and Freezer. I know there is several sellers on eBay that are selling these but my “go to” seller is sweetmall-1. Always a great transaction with them. A quick note, i also bought the upgrade lit for ROTB Wheeljack as well. Definitely looking forward to that since it comes with his big cannons like he had in the movie. I will posting tha once i have it in hand.

For Battletrap, i bought the gatling gun pieces and the chain that you can atathced to his mace ball. Fits perfect. First, colors are on point and the quality is good. I will most likely cut the chain down but otherwise love it. Both pieces fit snuggly into his hands. A definite good upgrade for Battletrap.

For Freezer, it is essentially for his legs. I did a photo size comparison with Core class Arcee so that you can see the difference in his height with the upgraded legs. Again great quality and gives you more flexibility in posing him. The biggest point is the bending of the knee joint now versus no movement from the original pieces.

Enjoy,

For the latest additions to the collection. One in particular that i never knew was out there and i happened to comes across him by mistake. From the Beast Wars Return line, I found on eBay Megahead Megatron BR-12. I ended up winning him for around 65 dollars to include shipping. Only thing, he was missing his missile. Haven seen the prices for the few listed on eBay, i will take the price i paid even if he wasn't complete. Now it definitely makes me want to buy Megatron Megabolt and Megabolt to complete the trio.

The second addition comes from the Beast Wars Transmetal 2 line, Jawbreaker. Honestly, i am not that invested into buying that many characters from any of the Beast Wars lines. I guess if i see one that looks intriguing and cool, i buy it. It would seem some of those are harder to find. Something i didn’t know about this mold, it was later used to make Universe Frostbite. It is always cool to learn more about select characters and how they were used in other lines. Taking about Frostbite, that seems to be a rare one so to speak to find and a little pricey. Who knows, another one i might pursue down the road.

As always thank you for checking out my photos,

I just received this today from Cinemark. It’s the Optimus Prime Light up popcorn bucket. Ive shared a few photos and one for size comparison. The eyes light up pretty decent. I also ordered the Optimus Prime Truck/trailer from AMC; looking forward to getting it next month.

Jawbreaker is my favorite TMII. I love that figure! I really wish someone would give him fiction.

Did you see the SS Primal's chain is compatible with Battletrap?

I definitely agree, I've got both preordered. I wish they would finish the rest of the characters within the SS line. It would great to get a good version of Nightbird, Wheeljack, and Stratosphere.

Supposedly Mirage's wavemates are Wheeljack and Nightbird, and I think we have a Stratosphere rumored for next year.

Stratosphere definitely needs a Commander figure at least though, and core RotB Bee to fit inside him for the airdrop scene

That's reassuring for those two. I definitely agree about which size Stratosphere ought be. The bonus would be a core BB that would be compatible.

Here is the upgrade kit for ROTB Jungle Mission Wheeljack. Essentially it comes with fillers for the bottom of the feet, inner upper thigh and forearms. Then the good part, those cannons.

Enjoy

Looks great as always, but did you replace your Cyclonus with Metalhawk? :-?

Your Wheeljack upgrades look nice! i really hope the SS release comes with those cannons.

Micromachine crew looks great too! I still need to get those Wreckers for the Wreckers crew.

And the Ark display looks wonderful!

@RPU1 with Cylconus, I originally had him and Sweep with the Ark. Then i sold him and he was replaced with GS Cyclonus. Then when i made my Decepticon Space Bridge diorama, thats were GS Cyclonus ended up. Essentially i have now made this new diorama for Autobots only.

@D-Max, i agree too, hope that SS version comes with the cannons and thank you for the compliment on the Ark scene.

You both have a great weekend.

Got lucky and found Nemesis Leo Prime at a local GameStop. Hadn't seen him otherwise in any store.

He is a great addition to my Space Bridge diorama; looking good with the gang.

I meant to post this before the photos of Nemesis Leo Prime but here is the latest additions to the collection.

From the Beast Wars line, Fuzors Torca. A really unique looking figure for sure. I was able to get him for a decent price and in great condition.

Moving onto the Beast Machines line. A line that i didn't intend to buy anything from but there is just something intriguing about each one i like. They are Thrust, Rattrap, and Nightslash Cheetor. At this point i have gathered a rather quirky group of Beast War/Machine type characters on top of my display case.

So something new, just today i received from Hasbro Pulse, G2 Universe Dead End. Love the colors on this guy and he looks pretty darn good next to Shadowstrip. Can’t wait for the next “Unreleased”Stunticon to be released.

Lastly, i am working on a new diorama scene. This one is for my Loyal Subjects. I just wanted it make something that would allow them to be displayed at different heights. I will be posting photos shortly.

Thank you for checking out my photos as always,
