Hey Skiman, that Shockwave is a repaint from an Energon figure, which was the first new Shockwave figure in over a decade. Released in...2005, I think? He did replace the arms though, cause those on the original figure sucked ass, to say the least.

F_R does turn out some amazing stuff (though he took Devastator's design from another customizer), but sadly he's almost always filled up on commissions. There are some other great customizers though, and each are good in their own way. Here are some good ones, included pics of some of their work as well:

Page 4?! UNICRON WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!

 

[Skiman]

One of my favorite figures for TF's I will never sell Unicron.

A quick shot of my humble Transformers collection...

My vintage one are @ my folks house, but I should be able to recover them in a few weeks.
I had to sell all my Binaltechs and Classics a couple of years ago...
I'd love toe see more Master-Pieces, I still need to get Starscream and Grimlock!

 

[Skiman]

I need Grimlock, but it will come someday.

Any of you guys know off hand how to fix the "rusty" feet on MP Megatron?

It's not really "rust", as the metal in Megatron's feet are not made of a type that can rust. This is just oxidation, which can easily be wiped away with a mild cleaner. I think I used something like Windex on mine and he looks decent now, though I admit mine wasn't too bad to begin with; just some very mild flakes.

Others have mentioned using vinegar to clean and then using WD-40 or a brush-on clear varnish to protect the metal areas.

Hope that helps.

I just got rid of my MP Megatron and am using the cash towards,

G1 Rumble & Frenzy repaints of Shadow Warrior
Generations wave 1 Drift
Generations wave 1 Thrust

So glad to get that POS out of my collection as I regretted buying it about 5 minutes after opening him.

I picked up a lot of the Henkei TFs and finally got around to opening them...WOW! These figures are amazing! So far I have opened Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Ratchet, Ironhide, and Powerglide. Very cool figures and here I thought the Binaltech were the be all end all of Transformers. GD am I pissed that I missed out on these but I think I am hooked. Sunstreaker is just killer man, gorgeous figures and the designs are top notch. I can't wait till the rerelease Hound. Back to opening more figs...

My top 5 are,

1.Sunstreaker
2.Cyclonus
3.Smokescreen
4.Inferno
5.Optimus Prime

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Cool, I need Cyclonus, Smokescreen, and Inferno.

If you want Sunstreaker to look even better, check out the Classics section at reprolabels.com as there's an awesome G1 themed set for the Classics/Henkei mold.

Personally, I really like Megs - he's the only MP mold that TakTomy hasn't repainted. The only way I could see another MP Megs is if they did the pre-Transformer (Microman, Diaclone, I can't remember which line G1 Megs is from) black version.

Ran across a pretty good article on the 10 worst Transformers here.

Of course, it goes without saying that even Wheelie is superior to any of the non-G1 garbage.

That was ok, I thought he was going to go the route of explaining why the toys weren't up to par on each Transformer, read most of it and glance here and there but I really didn't care about his views on the back story of each TF's he hated, he had some of the best TF's on his worst list so to each their own.

I really don't care whose smarter, what's not capable and what is fiction that ties the cartoon to these guys bios... I disagreed with a lot he said

G1 wheelie is like the Jar-Jar of transformers.
