They look pretty decent together in a way that most individual figures haven't in ages.

The generally consistent color palette at least makes them look like a team of some kind as opposed to a motley ragtag band of miscellaneous repaints.

Only 2 more years to go and I'll have the whole team!!!

Yippee!!!

Botcon Mirage has really grown on me.

Now the mold I've loved since day one but the dark translucent blue was kind of meh.

Yeah yeah... I know... the clear plastic likely would have yellowed. Believe. I know. My Osaka Toysland Clear Mach Alert is yellowed.

But I think he would have looked incredibly sweet clear with this same blue as the wheels.

Here's something that sucks the balls!

Botcon Ratchet's head refuses to pop up!!!

When it comes down to it I don't have much attachment to most of this G1 stuff.

Maybe a few gestalts... Maximus... my Micromasters... but that's it.

Not like a lot of it is in any kind of perfect shape anyway.

And my favorite...

"The Shelf of I Forgot How To Transform You"

I just just leave all the shelves like this.

You can bitch and whine all you want, but God Magnus comes down as the most-kickingest-ass-trouncing Ultra Magnus of all time.

And he's a total dick too!

If you ignore Hasbro's forcing of "Galvatron" on his American counterpart, Car Robots' Devil Gigatron is a pretty beautiful figure.

He's busy with a lot going on color-wise but it works for me.

I don't think I'll be keeping Masterpiece Suckitude here.

He's really quite a shitty $100 figure.

I have to frigg'n lean him up against the wall just to get him to stand on those wobbly spindly legs.

Black Fire Convoy makes his first appearance in the Plastic Crack Den.

And I ask myself... do I really need any other Transformer?

Why the hell did I buy this both in box form and in loose bag form?

This so has to go.

Anybody interested?

Well I played around with the space... what there is of it... and the shelves really need to be against all the viable walls.

That leaves a condensed version of my computer desk to go in front of the closet door.

I have another door to the closet in my bedroom so it isn't a big deal.

I suppose I can hang my Car Robots poster against the door once I get it framed or something.
