Quint Consumer Weapons Roadshow
The RANSACK weapons platform is a favourite among third world countries not only due to it's solid anchor, intuitive targetting console and immense firepower...

but also it's unmatched mobility which allows you to pack up and redeploy at breakneck speed, as well as look sexy while doing it. :D

Note: Hardtop autonomous sharpshooter operating unit not included :p
Cameras and bots packed away atm, will try to get photos later.
This thread is gold, Animated Shockwave especially just got so much cooler. I was just switching his alt modes a bit so he was a vaguely Tachikoma-esque armored artillery platform as a 'con (basically put his Longarm alt-mode facing backwards with the cannon deployed) and as a stationary rotating dock-style crane ('H-tank'-mode with crane) as a 'bot - not very imaginative I know but he looks better that way IMO. That ED-209 walker mode was awesome.
Another one I've taken to is positioning Universe Tankor's shoulders diagonally by the side of his torso (about 140 degrees back from their official position, or a bit under halfway between straight down and straight out back - the corners of his wings can fit into the the purple depressions on his shoulders), which stops his arms looking so weedy, still allows him to hold his gun, and makes the G1 resemblance quite a bit better (thanks to the colouring the extra bulk looks more part of his arms and wings than his body, though the G1 Octane toy had big beige kibble portions by the side of his torso anyway). Likewise, if you fold the 2 sides of his 'battle blade' together (i.e. like in vehicle mode) and put its handle into the hole of one of his guns (with the barrel facing upwards) it makes an alright tower shield if held by the gun handle, though his arms do have to be straight for this to work so it isn't so good for playing as it is for display. The scissor blade and double flamethrower both look stoopid IMO so I don't mind losing them for a more G1-esque armament.

I was playing with Mix master yesterday and thinking he has so many articulations, must can do some miss-forms, and 1 hour later, I came out with the stuff he should have transformed to, sortta cool!
