The Action Pose Thread

[Adzma]

There's one over at Tfans but I thought it couldn't hurt to have one here too. Basically for anyone who doesn't know, the deal is you take pictures of your Transformers in cool or amusing poses for the rest of us to see. I'll start of with my Masterpieces.

Firstly Prime:

Took me a while to find a good pose to keep him in for a while. Since he'd arrived last week I'd put him in a standard, at ease pose but later decided it was too boring. This was the end result. I quite like it, but I'm willing to bet there are hundreds of people out there with a similar if not the same pose.

Now Starscream and Skywarp:

I really like these guys together but when put next to Prime and Megatron, their tiny stature kind of ruins them for me. Still, their poses are really nice. Unfortunately the photo doesn't really capture how cool they look in real life, but you get the idea.

And finally Megatron:

The simplest pose and unfortunately the worst photo. As we all know Megs isn't too well equipped in the posing field so I like to keep him in a simple armed fusion cannon pose. Simple yet effective.

Now go forth loyal Ozformers! Produce millions of poses! Mua ha ha ha!

I'm really beginning to enjoy taking action photos of my TFs from all different lines. Here's a sample:

Constructicons, Get to Work!


Constructicons, Transform!


A Bigger Body...


Leads to Bigger Ambitions


Prime & Megs; happy with their Classics reincarnations


Prime & Megs; not happy with their Movie reincarnations


Snap Kick!


Uppercut!


Gimme back that damn matrix!


I believe that belongs to me


Damn Showoff!


Mistake No. 2


Combaticons, merge into Bruticus!


Wh - Where am I... Starscream?

Build Boy and Landmine are Constructicons now?!

Haven't done any new action shots lately, so here are some really old ones.

The "Death of Optimus Prime" diorama from OzFormers@SupaNova 2003


Here's an old one I shot back in 1999 (just after getting Big Convoy) representing the final part of the Matrix Quest.


I did this shot for a photocomic I made 3 years ago but it ended up on the "cutting room floor" - no superimposing here (the joys of Blu-Tac)


Brave Max playing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution)




This was actually shot in a swimming pool - NO superimposing! (yes, those toys are in water)

Ok i saw this thread just after it was made, but i'm sick and didn't have any good pics, so i'm only just posting now


First one, Classic Rodimus holding a nice modified MP Matrix of Leadership

Die Autobot scum

From the side

Look who's going to die

This is supposed to be the shot from where Magnus says, "And you'll die trying, Just like Megatron"

Same shot, just from the front

This i like, Screamer holding Dr Archivle up by the scruff of the coat.

Enjoy.

Hey, I wanted "Classics" versions of all 6 Constructicons' Alt Modes & these ones substituted perfectly.

Awesome shots of Starscream holding Megatron, TB!

Here's my latest addition whose on my desk atm:

Megatron victorious.

[turtle boy]

Thanks STL. Awesome little display you have there. May I ask, whats that Megatron in the back ground behind that backdrop?

[GoktimusPrime]

That's Mega-SCF Megatron. It's a highly-articulated PVC figurine with some interchangeable parts (hands, energy flail etc) - also comes with a Laserbeak or Buzzsaw (depending on 'anime' or 'metallic' variant) that perches on his arm.

an oldish one of mine - Prime does his hammy:
