I don't like putting the extra shoulder cannons so I'm treating those as "assault shock batons" which they keep hidden in their legs as secret weapons.:)
I forgot to get a picture of my Shattered Glass Insecticons but...

If his chest was to be pink like the G1 he's paying homage to, the front of the copter would be pink.
You can't please all the people all the time... I personally think he's great :)
Picked up my holy grail for the month RID Arcee,:D:D:D:D thanks to nyerk......
Finally found DOTM AirRaid today
I like that their transformation is the same, but would've liked a little individuality in the moulds to differentiate them. Best I've managed is popping off Bumblebee's spoiler and will now be looking for an alternate, G1'esque head for Cliffjumper... that'll be enough to satisfy me.:)Quote:

Eventually they did work it and started giving us Cliffjumpers with new heads, e.g. Animated, Alternity, Generations. But that period when we kept on getting red Bumblebees being passed off as Bumblebee was frustrating to say the least. I really love the Transformers Prime Cliffjumpers; none of them are repaints or retools of Bumblebee! :DQuote:

Cliffjumper in vehicle mode. I pretty much paid $25 to get Gen. Cliffjumper so that I could put his head onto CLA Cliffjumper's body; an arguably cheaper alternative to paying for an unlicensed kit... not that it would've been an option for me as I have a personal policy against purchasing unlicensed toy products. So for anyone looking for a "legitimate" (for lack of better word) and possibly cheaper option of a head swap, I'd recommend Gen. Cliffjumper.
Given the choice between paying $51 (incl. postage) for an unlicensed head and pair of guns vs. hopping over to TRU and paying $25 for Generations Cliffjumper where I get an entire action figure that I can swap the head (and give Gen. Cliffjumper's gun to CLA Cliffjumper) -- I'll take Gen. Cliffy. :)
Received Botcon Junkions from Captured Prey this week. 1st time I bought from there.
I must say they have pretty good serivce and for 1st class international postage arrived in 1.5 weeks. very fast.
Grabbed a few bargains:
DotM Laserbeak, DotM Topspin (to cannibalise the weapons for PRiDE Arcee), and Galaxy Force Nitro Convoy.
these arrived today
Today's acquisitions:
Image gone
:D:D:D:D:D

Thanks for the info uteiki, erm cst- typing error on my part sorry heheheheh. Didnt edit it after - it should be postage charge - I know it's so far from cst - but I got busy immediately after I posted it and didnt check and it's too late to edit :o:o:o
Cyberverse Breakdown and Mirage.
My Prime Ratchet, Knockout and Voyager Starscream arrived today. Also got the Metal G1 Wheelie figure I was looking for.
Their prices are quite fair, thanks for mentioning them!Quote:
