Animated Ends...Revenge is Coming!

Just a li'l update of recent purchases. Catching up with some Animated; I'm liking both Soundwave and Shockwave more than I expected. Gonna miss looking forward to the show during weekends.



The new movie's coming up and I'm excited about that, got preview tickets booked and everything (23rd June! Woo!). Not digging the toys so much...except these guys! I mean, come on. It's a forklift and a bi-plane. How can you not get into them, ya soulless bastard.

Jurassic (Front) Yard

I love taking outdoor pics. Only thing preventing me from taking more are the weird stares I'd get from bypassing pedestrians. It's actually quite tricky to take these pics. You have to really get low on the ground to get these angles and even then you can't use the viewfinder; the bottom of the camera is an inch or two from the ground, it's just not physically possible, so you're basically shooting from the hip.

The first 3 pics are old, featuring Cybertron Jackshot - hehe - and Undermine, the last 2 are new, Masterpiece Grimlock, Universe Overkill and Cybetron Undermine again. Both shots are actually in my front yard. Think I'll let it grow out a bit more like in the 1st 3 pics. The shrub makes for nice diorama. A nice... shrubbery!

Hasbro's 12" Talking Indiana Jones Figure

I was SO stoked for Indy 4. Even skipped work to watch it, last time I did that was for POTC3. Bought a buncha the 3 3/4" figures even with the horrible paint apps, the kiddie props (hat plus whip) but this guy is my fave merch. Sure he's not as hot as the premium stuff by the likes of Sideshow, but he talks! NO TICKET!

Emo Plane Bots

I'm not a big fan of a) post-movie (the '86 one dammit!) designs and b) exclusive robits, but this was one occasion where I was superglad I bought the figure of a character I'd otherwise didn't care for: Botcon '08 Dreadwind. It'd have drove me nuts to pick up TFU Darkwing and have the nagging feeling that I was missing his partner-in-crime. I like both recolours so much I'm even thinking of passing up TFU Silverbolt. Sure they're missing their Powermasters (TM) partners and they're horribly out of scale with each other but I love the combined colour scheme. Post-movie TFs generally shied away from primary colours, which combined with futuristic modes make them look unrealistic but as a whole, the variety in colour made them look great on the shelf.

unicron & cronies

having recently picked up TFU cyclonus, finally got around to taking these pics. was really looking forward to cyclonus (along with hound), such a great design. previously picked up TFU galvatron out of morbid curiosity, such a maligned a figure. he's better than i expected. titanium scourge really looks dumb here but i thought, eh, what the hey. unicron i got cheap from my bro's bro in-law, cool guy. he got it in a lot and was like, hey, you want this? he offered it FOC but i'm not that shameless XD

space bridge...with kids!

wanna know what's the best thing about this haul? IT'S FREE!

winning a transformers picture contest at TFW2005, i got this 100 bucks gift voucher from BBTS. the statue cost 80 bucks...but the shipping cost 50 (rassem frassem rassem). coincidentally, the guy who was runner up was a buddy (mistah cheebs!) and i did a commission for him so he help me made up for the difference. what a nice guy.

serious fanart is serious

occasionally, i draw serious art.

i read very few fanfics but the ones i do, i hold them in high regard. two of them are skyshadow's 'best first' and merytneith's 'means of persuasion'. the former is whimsical, full of mirth, while the latter, for lack of a better word, is pure epic.

look them up at transformersfanfic.com (formerly lexicon.tf) and thank me later.




(i actually goofed this one up: it's not supposed to be squawktalk on the right, d'oh. i just liked the idea of a birdbot playing fullstatis/chess for robots.)
