  1. *pengbuzz touches conductive paint, gets fried to a crisp*
  2. It's okay... it took me forever to figure them out, then today I forgot about why they are there until you asked (other stuff going on that has me tied up inside). Not been having a good past few days... stressed, depressed and trying not to have seizures.
  3. Click on the three dots in the upper left-hand corner of your post for a drop down that contains the edit feature.
  4. Yeah, I'd like to see a G1 toy Optimus that is larger and better articulated, with better proportions. lol It's all good; I usually buy the older vintage ones missing their accessories and just scratch build the missing stuff. Cheaper that way.
  5. Thanks, but I mean the original 1984 collection, not Earthrise/Kingdom.
  6. I agree with you 100 percent: this is why raster-based artwork doesn't work too well scaled-down. As i think you recommend earlier, Inkscape would probably work better for Arbit, as vector scales down and up without those issues.
  7. Well...now we know how 2020 and 2021 happened! lol
  8. It nearly did, but I decided that I'd rather relieve myself of the drama there and focus on what counts. And yeah: it's TFW2005 I'm departing (for the reasons you just stated). As to my collection: I just need Huffer for the Autobots and Soundwave, his cassette troopers and Reflector for the Decepticons, and that's it. I count Shockwave as 1984 because he made his first appearance in MTME and the toy had originally been planned for the '84 series release, so he gets "grandfathered" in. lol (speaking of which: Looking right now for the "metal plates" for my G1 Optimus Prime trailer, to change it into the "bloated" version , as Ican't afford a whole new trailer, so searching for plates to glue in) Now, to its' credit, Macrossworld has been pretty civil (much thanks to Sean, Graham and the folks here, mods and members alike!), and folks here have been very kind to me for the most part. I count this as home really for my online endeavors and really don't have to worry about much here. You read correctly: a lot of unneeded drama and unmoderated nonsense that I'd really not like to recount here (for many reasons). As for the masterpieces: after MP Prime and Megatron (V1 versions), they got way too expensive for me. I have those two, but really as icons of the series; I really prefer the G1 84 toys' look.
  9. After I finish my G1 1984 collection, I'm done. I just left a transformers site and frankly, not going to bother with anything new for Transformers anymore.
  10. That's a masterpiece compared to ST:P
  11. Done well: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Burnt to a crisp: Picard
  12. I wonder if Neo and Trinity found a way to load their consciousnesses into the Matrix and escape their dying bodies before they died, rather than this being "copies"...
  13. That implies that they even have a budget...
  14. So... I guess a 1/3000 TV version of the Macross isn't even going to be considered for the drawing table anytime this century...
  15. I could really use that for my armored factory.
  16. Neat files! I'll have to look into those sometime! And yeah: I can get sports and movies, but I have to change phones. The old one I'm using has no service or movie player, although for display, i could probably record a Transformers episode and play that! Next mod coming up: I'm going to find a cheap battery operated toy train with tracks and turn that into something automated for the base defenses. Stay tuned...
  17. At this rate, I think I'll just watch Science Ninja Team Gatchaman... ...that or Aqua Teen Hunger Force...
  18. Thanks guys! But wait 'til ya see my next one:
  19. I used a phone charger with a USB plug in; the USB multi-port was just too weak and I didn't have a "Y" connector. Thanks! Actually, it's just an old electric motor culled from a broken printer, a couple of gears and metal rods, heavy wire for elevator cable and a switch. Hardly "electronic" :lol: BTW Gabe: nice job on the VF-0!
  20. The theme sounds like they largely stole it from the animated Green Lantern OVA movie.
  21. Thanks MT! Yeah, under load the sound changes. I had a faster motor for it, but it almost put Optimus into orbit! In all seriousness, though here's some pics of the internal mechanism:
  22. Well, finally got my elevator installed and working. Video here (not the best quality, but it is what it is!):
