GoBot revamp: Turbo

I’ve been severely ignoring what’s supposed to be the GoBots portion of this blog, which is sad because every time I see a new Classics/Universe mold, I can think of at least two or three GoBots that could be made from it. Same thing for some of the Armada, Energon and Cybertron molds.
I’m torn most of the time, I seriously want to sit down and kitbash some GoBots out of some of my extras, but man, I just don’t have the time. So I digibash. This was one I did for Turbo, although I’m not a huge fan of the Autovolt mold (a little more articulation would be great, but hey, they did a pretty good job with the mold overall) but I like the somewhat bulky feel it gives. If I were to revamp Turbo, I’d like him to be a little bigger and beefier than he was before, and the Autovolt mold lends itself to that a lot nicer I think than what’s currently available.

Leo Prime!

I received my Leo Prime a couple of days ago (thank you Yu Giland!) and am very impressed with him, the head remold works better on the Ligerjack body than I thought it would.



Mt first thought was Dear Takara, please produce this figure as a clear colored plastic exclusive like the last Wonderfest exclusive, I will gladly pay for him.
Not very practical, I know, but I can dream and drool can't I?
And of course, being the Black Convoy psycho that I am, thought number 2 was:

Hey, why the heck not? And just in case they don't ever do it, I've already ordered a second Dark Ligerjack off Ebay and am scanning for a cheap Leo Prime to nab, let the customizing begin...again! Oh, many thanks to Seibertron.com for the body image of Dark LeoBreaker.

It's all got to go somewhere...

I've been debating for a long time whether or not it'd be worth my while to do all my yakking about Transformers and GoBots in my main blog or start a separate one dedicated just to those mechanical wonders I love to blather on and on about. Guess the decision was pretty obvious eh? This will be where I toss all my random Transformer and GoBot related thoughts. My first thought in this blog is:
Botcon '09 being held in California. Crud. Guess I won't be attending this year barring me tripping over a treasure chest filled with gold. But that's okay, I can't say i've ever really been in the spirit of the whole 'Botcon' experience. I'm more in the mindset of 'Gimme my exclusives so I can leave and go have fun elsewhere." Meh, it's a shoddy attitude, so sue me. Doesn't make me any less excited about the exclusives though, I'm having fun scanning through the message boards and reading the speculation amongst the fans. I look forward to seeing them revealed and faxing (ugh, really FunPub, can we join the grand age of online registration?) my order in.

Anywho, next post I'll torture the unsuspecting public with my customs. Bed time for me.
