Introducing a fierce star seeker member thats going to really tickle your bootstraps matey’s! This ill tough elite g2 ninja is not to be trifled with, welcome Legacy United Deluxe Road Pig to your collection but please, keep a close eye on this guy and be sure to hide your energon stash, this merc is on the lurk!
.
Shout out to my engineer that allowed me to force his hand and figure out a way to mold these peices in clear to get his seriously dope lightning rod homage, and most importantly to have the light piping head to match his counterpart Road Rocket. Shout out to Yuki san and Ejima san for these black pearls!
.
Back when we were making Junkion Crashbar I wanted to make sure we had an alt head for Road Pig in the mold to try and complete the dynamic g2 ninja duo. You know I love my weird obscure characters so to find such a fitting spot for this guy to exist just lifts me decepticon spirits!
.
Some deets for youz, you’ll notice he can utilize the front of Road Rockets detachable tire and his own detachable tire to complete his ultimate look. Yes, I took my time to revectorize the Transformers graphic on the high gloss black gas tank with the oneshot gold pinstriping because as I see it glistening off these photo lights it was well worth the energon reserves. Please make sure to pop Road Pig onto Road Rockets cycle for some wicked ninja assassin assaults!
.
More posts coming soon, lemme know whose next?

A yo ho ho my bot family, allow me to present to you a very cool Walmart exclusive 3 pk, Thundertron, Calcitron, and Nightstrike! A fearsome cru that will take you on a trip to Sharkticon Jones’s locker, arrrr!
.
Lemme break it down d-generation x style 🙅🏻‍♂️ ☺️ Thunder Thunder Thundertron here is rocking his new og head design, he lost some finger digits so he is sporting a white pearled hook hand (5mm compatible of course), and a pumped up energon united color scheme. See the concept here was that Ol Thunder Sword here was lurking on a distant planet with his lil terror packed parrot bat Nightstrike (RID baby!) They come across some energon that apparently was alive, a being known as Calcitron (energon that fused together with a living unknown essence and merged into one fugly bad ass calcite eating mutterer) It would seem that Thundertron overpowered the creation and infused some of his energon to give him the ability to be empowered by armorizer might!!
.
I found a concept board that I somtimes throw together to get on my story soap box during meetings. I’d assume that most are sick of me rambling about lores and stories but having the opportunity to create tales of astonishment and to rocknite excitement into the coworker crowd is somthing I’ll never stop doing.
.
I’m really gitty over having a rocklord army, the armorizer build towards the end just shares the capabilities of creating your own rocknited characters. Oh also, yes that was a Ratbat mention who was going to be a dark blue redeco but I had a magic moment of remembering the alt head that was in that mold, I believe it was only released as a gen selects item. Anychance I can fit in a obscure character that doesn’t have a toy representation, Ima take it!!
.
What to post about next ?🤷🏻‍♂️

I recall there being a thread dedicated to GPS, but can't find it.

Anyway, got Cannonball, and I fear this to be a prime GPS candidate.
The bronze plastic is marble swirly, which is the most GPS sign I've ever seen on a modern TF.
This plastic makes up some of the most important parts of his infrastructure, too.

I have been concerned by toy companies now going back to Gold Plastic. Have they learned nothing??

[Pinwig]

Given Hasbro can't even produce plastic that doesn't discolour as soon as you look at it, I don't think they care...

Despite what you think, gold colored plastic is not the cause of GPS.
Most of the gold/bronze/brown colored plastics we been getting for the last 20 years is no more or less susceptible to GPS than any other.

Any plastic, regardless of color, is susceptible to GPS if it has that real pretty marble swirling in it. That's what makes it structurally weak and prone to decaying.

G0235 Ferak www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers-Legacy-United-Voyager-Star-Raider-Ferak-7-Action-Figure-8-Walmart-Exclusive/5285700004

In hand Ferak is much greyer than he appears here with the outer halves of the chest painted grey to match the body & shoulders. It's a very good colour match

[Pinwig]

Life's such a blur at the moment the simple pleasures often get short shrift. I opened Ferak last Sunday and had a good fiddle - obviously he's off to a good start using the Cyclonus mould but there's a heck of a lot of small remoulding on him that makes him unique - not least the different face sculpt. The red face with yellow eyes make him look very demonic and threatening.

His ship mode is fab. I usually have my TFs on my desk on robot mode, but he's been in ship mode all week because he's just brilliant to pick up and whoosh about. The guns on the wings are a really nice touch and he feels like a proper space fighter. Highly recommended for whooshing fun.

Well. Whatever turns you on, man.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

Whoosh!

[The Doctor]

"Fiddle".

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

Fiddling always comes before the whooshing.

[The Doctor]

Depends if you are on the roof.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

If you fiddle on the roof you'll get arrested.

If I were a rich man ....
