20th Anniversary (Masterpiece) Optimus Prime "re-stacked"

Getting my Masterpiece Megatron and seeing him with my Masterpiece Optimus, it became very obvious to me that Optimus was .....lacking, in certain areas...

Well, to restore his manhood and make him the Autobot supreme, I got on eBay and purchased the long smokestacks like those issued with Takara/Japan. Took his arms apart and replaced them, and he is now ready to kick some Decepticon bootie.

Masterpiece Megatron

This comes a couple of weeks after the fact, but was busy with vacation, family etc. I finally got and added Masterpiece Megatron to my collection. He was one I was afraid I would never get due to his price, the US laws in regards to him (his gun mode looks too real), and also just the overall scarceness of finding him until her was released by Takara.

Anyway, I did finally order one and got him, and he is great. While I opened the box and took him and his accessories out of the clear shell he was packed in, I haven't transformed him yet. That is both because of fear of breaking him (he seems to be somewhat fragile, but also after working with Masterpiece Optimus and various Alternators I know it will take some time I haven't had. I don't want to get into a rush and risk breaking him. He is great though, and blows away even the Gen1 Megatron. Definitely the #1 release to me. I found this great article on him someone else posted on their site with great detail/information on him for anyone interested. http://cybph.multiply.com/reviews/item/83

I really am going to make an effort to get good photos of him and all my other Transformers that need pics up on my pages soon.

Minibot Madness

Today I added many new Minibots to my collection. They include:

Yellow Bumblebee
Cliffjumper
Pipes
Swerve
Tailgate
Wheelie
Windcharger

Alternity and Predaking

Probably my last major update/additions for a while. Got and added Alternity Bumblebee & Cliffjumper. I probably won't get the other Alternity figures because to be honest, as cool as they are, they don't compare to the Alternators. The thing I liked about the Alternators is that they feel and for the most part looked like updated versions of Gen 1. The Alternity figures are all cars and most of them weren't in Gen 1. Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, etc. I do really like Bumblebee & Cliffjumper though and hoped that they would blend in with the Alternators since they didn't make Alternators of these characters. It works for the most part, except the scale...

Also finally got the 2010 reissue of Predaking for my collection. Of course the set consist of Divebomb, Headstrong, Rampage, Razorclaw, and Tantrum. This was a significant vacancy in my collection that finally is filled.

More Alternator/Masterpiece additions..

Got and added Masterpiece Starscream. Also added a custom built Alternator Inferno to my collection. I hope to get more info on the custom Inferno from the eBay seller I purchased him from. I can say from the listing that it is a Binaltech Optimus Prime with custom labels that I believe were gotten from Reprolabels. Looks like he has overhead siren lights from a Prowl.

Masterpiece Grimlock

Got and added Masterpiece Grimlock to my collection.

Astrotrain

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