A bit of gold looks good on Optimus.
(Still not finished repaint. Haven't yet found right kind of blue paint to match his blue plastic)

Transformers G1/IDW Fanfic Rec
Not good enough by SpinoGuy

An angsty Rodimus Prime-centered fic, in which he does what he can to make amends regardless of risk to himself. This was a heartbreaking read in the best way imaginable.
The fic borrows elements from IDW and G1, and while the IDW elements were well-integrated, what really spoke to me was how the flaws of his G1 self are highlighted. He is so, so good, but he barely gives himself any credit. He's not just a good leader, but a good person, even if it might run against better judgment. His inadequacy, recklessness, selflessness—they all shine through here.
The other characters felt fleshed out and real as well, and you could see a glimpse of the world continuing to spin, proverbially, in spite of the tragedies faced. If you like Rodimus even a little, I highly reccommend giving this gem a read!
Just some dumb photos of Thomas getting his revenge on #astrotrain The only Thomas train i have left from my childhood. Kinda miss em. Found it while helping my grandma move. #thomasthetankengine #transformersG1 #transformers #thomas #toyphotography #diorama #miniature #photography #
Blokees Shining Version Wave 1
Optimus Prime
Megatron
Jazz
Ratchet
Cliffjumper
Acid Storm
Bought another box of Blokees. This time a 6 pack of Shining Versions which gave the LED and some extras. Cliffjumper still dull but he has his cannon now. Prime and Megs are the best ones here.
Neat cover of Instruments of Destruction I happened across, with way too few views!
Transformers Kiss Players: Cool toys, but please, skip the fiction.

Originally released in 1991-92, the Micromaster Combiners were teams of six Micromasters who could combine into one larger robot!

Reissues of old Transformers toys in the early 2000s were cool, but these redecos that came out around the same time were even cooler!

The "Super Collection Figure" (SCF) series were two inch tall PVC figures depicting characters from the various eras of Transformers history.

Happy 40th birthday, Transformers! On this day in 1984, Marvel's Transformers #1 arrived in comic book stores everywhere, kicking off the franchise we know and love!

Oops, I did it again... El Greco Cosmos #3. This is the worst condition of the three, but still not bad. And no, they did not come with rub signs.

Released as a part of Transformers Generation 2, these Autobot cars and Decepticon jets are an awesome throwback to the original 1984 Transformers lineup.

The Lightformers and Trakkons: cool toys with a "laser fire" gimmick.

The Obliterators, Clench & Pyro
Their gimmick? Missiles, and lots of them!

1992 Transformers Predators: Another very cool "back to basics" assortment. I'm hopeful that Hasbro will revisit these guys with full articulation one day.

After years of assorted gimmicks, the Turbomasters were a return to form: they transform and they have missile launchers. Nothing more - no crazy gimmicks or anything like that. It's refreshing!
