Hey now,
Sorry I haven't posted anything new for several months... but fear not! For as you'll soon see, I've hardly been slacking on the TransFormers scores:

It's quite the mix this time 'round. For starters, I ordered the first wave of Prime Master figures & decoy shells from the new
Power of the Primes series, which pays tribute to the Pretenders line from the TransFormers' HGaSiaD&FEtMMS* period, AKA the late '80s - early '90s.

*Hilariously Grasping at Straws in a Desperate & Futile Effort to Maintain Market Share
Speaking of grasping at straws: I also grabbed a couple
Micro Machines MicroMasters transports seen at the top, with Overload on the left and Erector (*SNICKER*) on the right. Below those is the Decepticon Demolition team, part of the mini-cons line introduced in
PokeFormers TransFormers Armada back in the early aughts. Speaking of which, at the bottom is a Mickey D's
Armada Optimus Prime Happy meal toy thingy.

Getting back to goodies for the youngins: I picked up a loose Playskool Rescue Bots Optimus Prime car-carrier for next to nothing.

Ultra Magnus is gonna be p!$$ed when he finds out Optie's stolen his gig.
I also dove into the third-party Trannies with a vengeance, picking up DX9's War In Pocket version of Soundwave, and Iron Factory's mini rendition of Shockwave. Each toy is about 4.5 inches high, and sports surprisingly good detail and poseability for its size. Mini Soundwave even has three transformable versions of Lazerbeak, Ravage, and Buzzsaw... or is it RatBat? Kinda hard to tell, but the super-mini-cassette-bots are also surprisingly detailed... which you'll see in a future toy scores post.

Another neat third-party offering I couldn't pass up: An oversized version of G2 Laser Optimus Prime, which is roughly to scale with the original Master Piece Optimus Prime MP-01 toy. I'll definitely be showing this guy off in a future toys scores post.

Rounding things out is Combiner Wars Shockwave, and RiD Sandsting:

But my fave piece in the batch by far is
this bad boy*:

Uh-oh, I'm feeling my super-patriotism rising in a very bad place... CUE THE MOOD MUSIC!
Was it good for you too?
ANYway, that's about it for now. Until next time...
