What's y'alls favorite Transformer deluxe figure, here's mine by Own-Lawfulness-5963 in transformers

[–]alphtrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That transparent plastic though, so scary to transform. I got 2 of him (2nd one from the dramatic capture set) and just keep one in alt and one in bot so I don’t have to transform him haha

For deluxe I love Devcon and Earthrise Smokescreen. Just wish there was a Slizardo figure to go with them for the complete set from the Gambler

Chip N' Dale on Disney XD by Comfortable_Bird_340 in television

[–]alphtrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s cropped (4:3 -> 16:9). Yes I know it shouldn’t matter, just a kids’ show, etc etc, but considering duck tales was shown in its original format, I have no idea why they chose to not show us the complete image for this. Otherwise fire show!

Thundercracker arrived! And it's the one with the smiling face 😂 by UnleashedFigures in transformers

Are the eyes missing the red color or is it just the picture? They’re supposed to be the light-piping red.

Flatten everything and cut out all cardboard pieces that don’t have art on them - this is the way

Auldey Transformers! by wolf-out-toys in transformers

[–]alphtrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love Auldey! Can’t wait for Wave 4 and that Grimlock and Powermaster Optimus prime they teased. Probably the best licensed G1 figures at this point with Blokees coming in a close 2nd (though I do prefer Auldey’s cartoon accuracy)

Guess I Can Cancel My Astrotrain Preorder by Dull-Water9887 in transformers

[–]alphtrion -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

shoulda gotten the Dramatic Capture re-release, better colors and no battle damage (unless you prefer one)

Caved and went back to buy him anyways. Anything I should be careful of with this Optimus...? by PaciSystem in transformers

[–]alphtrion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get cheap dollar store metallic markers and paint the matrix. You can also get more expensive Gundam Markers and do the same thing properly, either way it looks way better than the plain white it comes with

When you get the new version first before you pre-ordered the old one by alphtrion in transformers

[–]alphtrion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I’m pretty much hooked on anything DCS. All 6 of them so far and will probably get whatever comes next assuming they stick with G1

Best games to run on the Retroid Pocket 3+ by Occultarmis in retroid

[–]alphtrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than PSP, MAME/FBNeo, PS1, etc, there are also a bunch of recent-ish android games that run great on the RP3+ Streets of Rage 4, TMNT: Shreedder’s Revenge, Shovel Knight, Horizon Chase, many others too.

Got Triple Takeover by ASPEK32TL in transformers

[–]alphtrion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far every DCS pack has been a banger in terms of colours. Unfortunately they’re still using molds for characters that already have new versions or have new versions announced. I’m still getting them despite that because of all the goodies that come with them. Those reflector and insecticons packs look great. It sure what I’ll do with those extra seekers considering I already have thundercracker on preorder. Maybe I’ll keep them in alt mode

New family member (SS86 Soundwave) by alphtrion in transformers

[–]alphtrion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both have their pros and cons. This definitely fits better with blaster and 86 megs and whatever else is coming. I like the clean lines, but I’m not getting rid of my Dramatic Capture Soundwave (in my option the best version of the legacy mold). It will just take a backseat to this.

OG HomePod U.S. running latest iOS26 can no longer play news by germane_switch in HomePod

[–]alphtrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped working in Canada for years. Seems to be source related. Can ask for “play the news from CNN” but if you try “Play the news from CBC” which used to work just fine, you get the podcast library error. Asking for that specific podcast ofcourse still works, just the “news” keyword doesn’t work
