BeastBOX BB-63A Heatmiser (Pink) no terfs on my post

[the-ratt-king]

I've been working on this for a while!

Was once again supposed to be an up to date pic of the whole logical proposals gang but yanno in an alternate dimension where no children die & everything is cool and good.

@vivificanousprime I really love the story as is but it would have been wonderful if some of the kids had been able to meet.

Do you have any hcs on how the elite trine are with Soundwave’s cassettes?

Yeah >:3

First of all, the trine love the little menaces, but of course they have their favorites. Starscream’s is Ravage, Skywarp’s are Rumble and Frenzy, and Thundercracker enjoys Lazerbeak and Squawktalk.

Despite their favoritism, Skywarp is the one that enjoys the cassettes the most. It’s often that Skywarp ropes the little cons into his pranks or pulls pranks on them. Tussling with Rumble and Frenzy is a favorite pastime of his as well. They may act like they hate each other but Skywarp would rather kiss Tarn than lose these little bastards, and that’s saying something. He also likes Slugfest but that’s because the cassette is easy to nip at.

Thundercracker is mostly indifferent but he enjoys when they hang around. He especially enjoys when Lazerbeak and Squawktalk decide to talk around him, he finds the noise pleasant and offers minimal responses when inquired. Beastbox and him also get along to a lesser degree but they’re on good terms because Squawktalk likes him.

Then there’s Starscream who shows pure favoritism to Ravage. He is all over that kitty cat and if you can’t find her then there’s a good chance she’s happily snuggled in the seeker’s lap while he cleans her. He almost likes Overkill for his brutality but he definitely prefers Ravage because Starscream is a massive sucker for cats.

Ratbat and Buzzsaw aren’t really social cassettes so they stay away from the trine.

And then there’s well Enemy. But no one really gets along with Enemy. Especially Skywarp. Skywarp and Enemy aren’t allowed in the same room anymore.

Do any of you guys know what beastboxes are or care that I have little robot bugs

I want to draw them so bad but.. machinery </3

[blighted-lights]

(Want to put this one out for public) What would you say is the most impressive action figure you've personally bought?

"Impressive" is a tough word considering the… let's be charitable and say "significant" number of figures I've collected over many, many years.

I have many I consider beautiful, or iconic representations of characters I love, but that's not the same thing, though there is heavy overlap as I tend to only buy figures of characters I like.

I have even been gifted with some extraordinary unique ones, in the form of unreleased versions, or custome mad figures by incredibly talented people.

But you didn't ask for "Favourite" or "Most valuable", you asked for "Impressive" and even then I can only narrow it down to a few

I own an original G1 Transformers Japanese box set of the Predacons. (It was more of a complicated international (three continent) swap between different fandoms, but I did the co-ordinating, and money was involved in getting this as my end result)

This one isn't mine, but it's the same set

The individual beast modes look great, their individual robot modes are cool and Predaking himself is freaking awesome.

It might be cheating as it's not a single figure, its a combiner but it was SOLD as the combined figure so I'm loopholing it in! :P

The Figma Table Museum series is amazing, with action figure representations of figures from art and history, including DaVinci's Vitruvian Man, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Michelangelo's David, Munsch's The Scream and Rodin's Thinker amongst others

But my favourite is their Tutankhamun, which has a staggering level of detail. The regular version has the mummy with a beautiful sculpt of the famous death mask. The DX version includes one of the sarcophagi that the mummy was found in, which the figure fits inside and, again, the sculpting is remarkable.

Plus a random shout out to Figma's other figures, which are never less than impressive

And I would be remiss if I didn't include at least one of the Saint Seiya Myth Cloths (So, I'm going to include two).

Andromeda Shun is one of my all time favourite characters, and the figures they have created for him are stunning, especially once the geeks who grew up on the roginal anime grew up and started working on making action figures themselves

This is what the original mass market 1987 figure for Shun looked like which, I should add in case I seem churlish, I remain inordinately fond of.

This is what the 2010 Myth Cloth looked like

Bit of a glow up, isn't it! :) (Pricewise too, but that's neither here nor there)

And the Gold Libra Saint remains a remarkable creation, the representational form of a pair of weighing scales transforming nicely into not only the Cloth itself, but the six pairs of weapons it contains, one for each of the Gold Saints

Honourable mention to several of NECA's lines, like Gargoyles and Fraggle Rock, which are impressive sculpts

Oh, and a shoutout out for sheer mechanical creativity goes to the BeastBox series from 52Toys. The main gimmick being that each figure, no matter how large or complex, unfolds from a standard modular 1.5" cube shape

I only have a few of them, because I suspect I could get VERY hooked on these, but these include White Noise, the owl (looking like Bubo from Clash of the Titans got an upgrade)

and Ironblood and Loyalheart, the twin battle bunnies who share a cube between them

However, I suspect I will surprise no one in that perhaps the one that continues to impress me each and every time I see it is one related to another characterI am forever associated with.

Which is of course, Robin, the Boy Wonder!

This is the Hot Toys Batman 1966 version, which is a superb 11" figure generally (allowing for some of the ever present issues with fabrics on smaller figures, meaning his cape is rather over-stitched so it's not too fragile)

But it's the face sculpt which gets me every time, this is way beyond the uncanny valley and right into the downright eeriely lifelike (And no surprise there, Hot Toys are legendary for their likenesses)

THIS is a plastic sculpt and paint job? They've even given him freaking FRECKLES!! (He probably has nose hair too, though I admit I've never checked for that... I'm weird, but not THAT flavour of weird)

Though, me being me, you might also not be surprised that I am also fond of the sculpting on this other Hot Toys Robin, though in that case, it's not just the face ;) !

The little T-Rex Bunny I ordered came early 🥰 I’m so happy, he’s soooo cute

Hey, Soundwave, exactly how many Casseticons do you have? Is it just Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble and Frenzy, or do you have others like Squawktalk and Beastbox?

"All of them... Everyone."

"WHAT."

" a l l o f t h e m "

[v-ostudio]

It had been a long day. There hadn't been many matches in Koan for today, just enough for Soundwave to get a cube for them to eat for tonight. It wouldn't be enough to keep them full, but the little ones didn't need much, and it would keep the rest of them going.

Soundwave lived for Koan's motto- Always keep fighting to live to see another day.

What Stands I think the Logical Proposals wavewave family would have:

Soundwave: Hermit Purple. This one's pretty easy, it's got everything a wave of sound could want: break a camera and get photos of a picture anywhere in the world, have a screen to project onto and read minds, just use the vines on a TV screen and get a message like "x is a traitor". Or Moody Blues since being able to see and hear what happened to a singular person would make for great intell depending on who it is.

Shockwave: Gold Experience. Shockwave would love having it, funding becomes a far smaller issue if he can grow the body parts himself. Not to mention the research he'd do testing the limits, how big can the being he grows be relative to the original objects mass? Can he grow an extinct species? And he'd love finding these things out.

Ravage: Harvest. Being the only responsible child is hard, much easier when you have 500 tiny buggers to keep watch on everyone.

Buzzsaw: Kraft Work. Given his weapon building I feel like he'd find some use for being able to store however much kinetic energy in an object he desires then release it all at once.

Laserbeak: Mr. President. With the caveat that he just had the user on him at all times. Laserbeak wants a nap, just pull out Mr. President, hide it, and take a nap in the key room, he can even fill it with all his favourite blankets.

Rumble & Frenzy: Star Platinum & The World. This one's the most obvious, SP and TW stop time for 5 seconds, that's 5 seconds of free prank set up.

Enemy: Survivor. Probably a bit too surface level for his character but it makes sense. He wants enemies, Survivor makes everyone around him so mad they start beating each other to death.

Flip Sides: Sticky Fingers. It's got a pocket dimension to explore long range travel purposes with (idk if it can do that but presumably if Sticky Fingers opened a zipper in one place then went hundreds of miles away and opened another they should connect) and I think Flips would find that interesting.

Beastbox: Man in the Mirror. So long as he has a mirror shard with him he can hide away in the mirror world whenever he's feeling overwhelmed and come back when he feels better.

Slugfest: Pearl Jam. He may not be a cook, but given the positive effects Pearl Jam has on the consumers he'd absolutely learn how to cook to give healing meals to refugees.

Squawktalk: Bohemian Rhapsody. I don't know if It works if it's only audio but it turns fiction to life and what better way to tell your stories then making them real? (Just ignore the part where people are forced to play a part in the stories, usually the one who dies)

Garboil: Earth, Wind and Fire. Technically not a stand (but maybe it is who knows) the shapeshifting would be really handy for painting, don't wanna use a picture or just memory to base a drawing on? Just shapeshift into what you wanna draw.

Overkill: Scary Monsters. It can turn people into dinosaurs. He'd finally have Dino friends that the Autobots don't steal away before begging to hand them back. (Targets of it retain their sentience right? I can't remember)

Howlback: Killer Queen. This isn't because of the fact it's a cat, nor is it about it being able to turn objects into bombs or its tertiary bomb Bites the Dust being able to rewind time an hour. No, this is about Sheer Heart Attack being indestructible and as such the perfect thing to enjoy biting to no end, and honestly what more does Howlback even want in life?

Ratbat: Kiss. Sure, the duplicated objects crash back together after the sticker comes off, but so long as that happens long after he sells them it's not his problem.

Wingthing: I'mma be real, I got nothing, he got killed in the great cassette culling of chapter 36 and he was introduced in that chapter. Weather Report? Because he wanted to know how rain works?

(Lil long post to make up for the lovely new year depression)

Meeting has commenced on what to do with the cube…

Ratchet suggest it should be neutralized, Prime suggest against it as it could be alive and harmless, the rest are just confused on what it is…..pay no attention to the hap is fuckening in the back…

======

Seems it is….alive, prime pulling a 'see, I TOLD you!' And ratchet is still all 'well it still could be dangerous…'. Startled Warp and TC.

it's kinda cute

Wait Bluestreak���seems to have heard something..

======

Guess it was sleeping and not too happy about being sat on...

TC is good with animals so he handles it..Guess its something called a ' beastbox ' and goes by D10. Comes off as a little grumpy old mech but friendly enough...

Blue was right, he did hear something, no one seems to be paying attention to his panic tho..

======

1+ Friend get!

Aannd also maybe Bluestreak getting mauled by a dog..

Everyone wins!

======

Decided to chuck my two beastboxes into this weird whatever im doing here.

D10 and Betty (BB ROARMEO)

My D10 is ab 8 years old and the very first iteration of his line, so he sadly doesnt have the back cannons or tiger ears some of the new ones have, his joints are also lose with age so hes just a gumby old man.

Betty Is newer, so she doesnt have a back story yet, aside from her protecting other beastboxes with how HUGE SHE IS!. She ended up being wayyy bigger then i thought she was but i love her non the less, such a cool mold!
