Too... Many... Bumblebees... I wanted to see what they all like together Thinking I should pick up one of those Henkei/United Megatrons though, look good! About to get a second run in Japan. Well worth getting. Thinly veiled "I have Warpath and Dinopope" brag though, haha! There's a few more "not generally available" toys in there too. I've never had specialist display shelves before. |

Yay! Shelves!
I think you should reserve them for your absolute favourite TFs and take new pictures!

OK. After much deliberation, I think I've settled on-
Top of the cabinet, Primus in Cybertron mode, Unicron standing over him.
Top shelf - Masterpiece. Megs, Prime in bot mode, Grimlock and Rodimus in alt mode.
Middle shelf, G1. On one side autobots, the other decepticons. Featuring Soundwave and Blaster. In the middle Longtooth surrounded by cassettes!!
Bottom shelf - Starscream shrine. Movie leader SS at the back in bot mode, MP SS in the middle and then Armada, Energon, Cyberton, Animated and G1 around him.
Base - Undecided, likely Classics, Henkei, United, Generations etc.
Pics to come, probably get this sorted out over the Easter weekend at some point!

Disaster! The box that I thought contained all of my TFC Reissues only contained 1-16. This means I can't find Blaster, Soundblaster, Blitzwing and most importantly, Wheelie  Time to go rummaging in the attic! On the bottom shelf I have placed Metroplex in city mode surrounded by minibots. It is mostly awesome, but I've decided I need a Seaspray (a minibot I had as a child) and a Blades to sit on the helipad (another toy from my childhood). |

Everyone needs at least one Seaspray!

The shininess of G2 Seaspray tempts me, but it wasn't what I had as a nipper, so G1 it shall be. Starscream shelf is looking a little crowded. Thinking of getting some fishing line and suspending a few in plane mode from the shelf above. Anyone know where I can get transparent display blocks to raise up characters at the back? edit: Oooooh! |

My stands arrived earlier this week, but no opportunity to pick them up from the post office so will get them tomorrow. Then, photos! Just realised I totally omitted some figures from my Starscream shelf! Classics, RTS Legends and Alternity still remain in the loft Kind of want to find me a Pretender Classics Starscream too. Not too worried about G2, Machine Wars, Beast Wars (with BB) or that Universe Legends repaint. So that's: G1 (TFCollection reissue in animation colours) Armada Energon Cybertron Masterpiece Classics Animated Movie Leader Alternity RTS Legend Can anyone think of any other Starscreams? Maybe I should put Waspinator in there too!? Think I might have to put Micromaster Hot Rod in Unicron's hand and RTS Legends Prime/Megatron standing on top of Primus. |

Phil - The Cybertron Starscream I list above is actually the Galaxy Force one, but thought I'd stick to western names. Debbie - You'll be pleased to hear that G1 Prowl is in robot mode on the G1 shelf  Not so keep on Robot Masters Starscream, it just looks a little cheap imo. World's smallest, hrm. Wouldn't mind, but the market is just flooded with KOs. Maybe a KO ghost Starscream. My original G1 Throttlebot Searchlight was rescued from my parent's house at the weekend and has joined the minibot display. They keep promising me they wouldn't have thrown anything away and that they'll find the rest of my toys from my childhood, but I remain pessimistic. |

The thing is the Voyager Starscream doesn't exist in those colours in the Cybertron line/
There's a Cybertron, Universe, Animated, RTS and several movie legends Starscreams....

Oh god yeah, I totally forgot that in Cybertron Starscream was orginally a supreme An important distinction as the shelf is no way big enough for a MP, Supreme and Leader class toy! I'm trying to restrict myself to a single toy per era, so e.g. movie is covered by Leader class. Universe Legends is a repaint of Thundercracker, so not keen on it. |

Preview pic of Starscream shelf, I think it needs a little organising. MP SS in alt mode takes up too much space  Maybe move him to the MP shelf?  Had a thought - one SS that hasn't been mentioned is Titanium War Within. Hrm. Can I bring myself to actually buy a Titanium?? |

I have the Sunstorm version of the mould (I assume it's a recolour), love it.

Can you suspend MP SS from above instead of using his base? That may help?

I had suspected such a plan, but instead I have moved MP SS up a shelf and created space by having MP Hot Rod in bot mode instead of car mode.

OK, got myself Titanium Starscream and yeah, he's pretty neat for the line. Thinking he's one of the better figures. Last night I grabbed myself Action Master Starscream on eBay. Looks very complete and in good condition, but I'm thinking I paid over the odds...? It was proving pretty hard to find one with all those accessories. Now to find a decent Pretender Starscream, then I'm done. God they're all in terrible condition on eBay Waiting for Hubcap to arrive for the minibots shelf still. edit 21/06: Yes, snagged a complete Pretender Starscream on eBay, allegedly in C9 condition, we shall see though! |

Photos! Display case:  From bottom to top... Metroplex, minibots and friends:  G1 (all reissues, mainly TFC): edit: all except LONGTOOTH, durr.  Starscream mania!  Masterpiece: Does anyone else think this photo has a weird optical illusion where it looks like Prime's arm is in front of Grimlock??  Unicron, Primus, misc, DotM Cyberverse:  Now it's competition time! There's one Transformer that has moved between the top full length shot and the close ups. Can you tell which one?? Answers in spoiler tags so as not to ruin each others fun (term applied loosely!). |

Prime does indeed cause a weird optical illusion.

Time to go rummaging in the attic!
Maybe move him to the MP shelf?
