Astrotrain

I finally got and added Astrotrain to my collection. While I was at it, cleaned up my Blitzwing page. Good times!!

Blurr and Kup

Getting Arcee and creating her page last week made me realize I never made pages for the other movie old timers in my collection Blurr and Kup, who have been there for a while. I guess there were many reasons for this; my focus has generally fallen on the earliest releases (like wave 1, etc), as well as not having weapons and accessories for these guys among other things.

Anyway, I created pages for them this morning, and cleaned up some things I noticed were kind of sloppy in my code. Did the same type of code refresh for Arcee and Hot Rod, though their content is the same.

While doing code cleanup, I took another look at the Bumblebee page and was really bothered that the artwork wasn't red to match the toy I have. I knew I had to fix this. After numerous searches with no luck, I saw the only way this was going to happen was if I modified it myself. The problem is, I have no (0) Photoshop skills. The one thing I do know to do, was just because someone showed me a while back. Anyway, I looked for web tutorials, and played with them mostly unsuccessfully for a while. Finally, with trial and error, I was able to do a makeshift change, and it is what is presented at the top of the new Red Bumblebee page. Maybe I will try the techspec at some point, but right now, I am glad to just be done with the main image. It isn't the greatest, but its awesome for me. If anyone can do better, please help!!

**EDIT** Code cleanup for all Autobots whose name starts with A through H....

Arcee

I finally added Arcee to my collection. For many years that didn't seem possible, but thanks to a third-party company who makes "unnamed" customs, it is now possible. I have been looking for a great deal, and finally found an open one for less than half price on eBay.

Lots of updating

Ok, right now I am really into updating my site collection, or at least I have been the past week and a half. Lots of changes. Mostly just cleaning up pages with better code/formatting, but also began updating with additions to my collection that I hadn't gotten in before. This includes Headmaster Brainstorm, Ironhide, Jetfire, Nosecone and Sixshot among others.

Also, I recently went to "Botchs Box Art Archive" and noticed that he had much better box art than what I have been using from previous scans/web images I had found previously. That being the case, I am slowly going to update the pages of each character with his stuff. I already did this with most of my Autobots, and will continue to do so with others as I can. His stuff is really sharp. I highly recommend his site. I don't know how he gets all of this, and at such high quality, but I really appreciate the work.

Hopefully more coming soon as I have time. I might get distracted with holidays and other things going on though.

Sunstreaker

I finally added Sunstreaker to my collection (the last Gen1 wave 1 figure I was missing), and am working to update my Alternators page as I get it completed.

Alternators Overhaul

Pretty much scrapped my work earlier in the week, and being that I have 21 of the 27 Alternators now, gave them and Masterpiece their own page. Much better than the old. Movie figures will replace them on the "Others" page, especially since I have a lot of them that aren't on the site.
