It’s that time of year again!
Spring Is In The Air
March 20th, 2011Action Pose – Kup In Bed
March 18th, 2011Young Hot Rod never liked sleep overs.
It would haunt him so much that as Prime he chose a camper for his alt mode.
But at least he learned to drive a stick.
The MOAR You Know – G1 Ironhide
February 21st, 2011Some say it was to sell toys.
Others, that Hasbro was becoming increasingly alarmed at his burgeoning addiction to Tang.
Some even speculate potential bad press regarding Chromia‘s extended stay on Cybertron and Ironhide’s resulting methods of carnal compensation.
But what was the real reason behind G1 Ironhide’s apparent death in Transformers: The Movie?
Hulk vs Iron Man
February 16th, 2011This is the set up on top of my video shelf. It’s not exactly an action pose, but sometimes the anticipation of one is better.
Action Pose – Highbrow vs Terradive
November 11th, 2010Headrobots Hothead Detailed Pictorial Review
November 8th, 2010Headrobots is a 3rd party company, not officially endorsed by HasTak, and thus far has done two primary releases, that of the lackluster Snake mold, and more recently Hothead.
The cost and sometimes questionable quality of 3rd party products has kept me from purchasing very many. I have and can easily recommend Fansproject’s Bruticus set, and I’ve got the targetmaster for the upcoming Rodimus set on preorder, but thus far Headrobots only release to even tempt me was Hothead.
As I’ve not ordered anything else from them, I waited until a few reviews had shown up online before ordering one. However, most of them have been nothing but people happily saying the set looks great. I can tell the set looks great, but what is it really like?
Is Headrobots Hothead really worth it?
PK Eiselt’s Junkyard Angels
October 31st, 2010Happy Halloween!
Today, we’re going to look at something a little less ‘transforming alien robots and how to fix them’ and more ‘biological zombie robots and how they fuck people up.”
Seemed appropriate for the day. :)
Simmons Was Right! – Sidearm Sideswipe
October 26th, 2010Agent Simmons of Sector 7 – a sane man to some, a fanatic to others, and a purveyor of delicious deli meat to all!
During his time protecting the free world from frozen doom, Agent Simmons became increasingly aware of patterns- a symbol here, a hieroglyph there, a fossilized rubber ducky found in the vicinity of Mount St. Hillary– patterns which could tie directly into maybe possibly indicating that nbes might have visited earth before the arrival of nbe1 or even the cube!
But did anyone believe him?
Not even the Stonecutters!
Not even Sector 7, who keeps Atlantis off the maps, keeps the Martians under wraps, robs cave fish of their sight, and rigs every Oscar Night!
But we do know…
Simmons was right!
Animated Arcee Leg Mod
October 22nd, 2010Way back when I first got Animated Arcee, I did a The MOAR You Know post about her, but didn’t mention the mod I did for her leg.
The lower part of Arcee’s right leg just wouldn’t close up at the knee for bot mode. The left was fine, but there was too much plastic on the right one.
Originally I was waiting to see if other people were reporting the problem, and I posted a very quick guide on the feedback thread on tfw2005 for it. It’s probably still an excess plastic variance issue, but quite a few people have complained about it.
For instance, Luke’s Arcee had an issue at first, but after he pushed a little harder it worked fine after that. On my Arcee there was too much plastic to the point that forcing it either wouldn’t work or might have broken something.
But as the feedback thread on tfw2005 still has people complaining about it, it looks like the issue is there even with the running change for Arcee’s plastic color.
So if you happen to have an Arcee and it has this problem, here’s a quick guide on how to fix it.
