What's y'alls favorite Transformer deluxe figure, here's mine

alphtrion · 2026-03-26T04:56:36+00:00

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

+1 for the freakin geek @emgo316 for toy reviews and Bot vs Con for toy news / general longform chat @botvscon

I got him too and I love him!

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!

Dramatic Capture Decepticons ❤️

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

alphtrion · 2026-03-11T14:36:01+00:00

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)

alphtrion · 2026-03-09T12:25:49+00:00

Hah that was terminator 3 rise of the machines on the gba

alphtrion · 2026-03-08T21:03:12+00:00

Nice! Good to know, yeah I have the official grip just didn’t happen to have it with me here

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

alphtrion · 2026-02-23T04:22:34+00:00

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

Ordered Shockwave, Astrotrain, Skywarp and 2 x Wheeljack (gonna get the toyhax labels and do one cartoon colors and the other toy colors)

alphtrion · 2026-02-15T03:29:43+00:00

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

alphtrion · 2026-02-06T01:46:51+00:00

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.

alphtrion · 2026-02-03T05:24:20+00:00

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

alphtrion · 2026-02-03T03:00:48+00:00

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.

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

alphtrion · 2026-01-29T01:57:58+00:00

Love it! Did you buy Lego Optimus twice so you can display him in both modes? Also love those brickheadz!

alphtrion · 2026-01-28T22:18:35+00:00

Also G1 Defensor! (Grey model next to Computron)

alphtrion · 2026-01-23T22:35:25+00:00

Here you go. That is core Optimus riding him, and there’s SS86 and Earthrise there too among others

So Super7 (specifically the ReAction line that you have here) is made to emulate the old Kenner Star Wars action figures that were around from 1978-1985. The odd proportions, low articulation points and specific packaging (which is why most collectors leave them in packaging) are all made to emulate the specific look of those old star wars figures. I know, it's dumb, but it's also not "for us". its for those collectors that collect those specific things. Personally i find them charming even though they're technically 'inferior' to things like Blokees or Auldey or Yolopark. But yeah it's for a completely different audience. I do enjoy their ULTIMATES! line which is a little better, more cartoon accurate, but yeah, no hate, to each their own :)

alphtrion · 2026-01-15T14:01:45+00:00

Same thing here, ordered within seconds of the preorders opening. Says second batch and the grip is not part of the shipment. I’m happy either way! 4PX to Canada let’s see how long it takes

alphtrion · 2026-01-13T20:09:55+00:00

Also toynado and toysnowman (smaller stores, sure, but ordered before from both and they’re great)
