He's great.

A lot more color in the deco than I initially thought.

I love the white and other detail colors. It really stands out in train mode.

TakaraTomy Henkei Astrotrain is the 2063rd Transformer that I've acquired.

Revoltech Starscream is the 2034th Transformer that I've acquired.

Revoltech Hot Rod is the 2033rd Transformer that I've acquired.

Damn! He looks nice.

I so so so so so wish I had my light box for some decent pics.

Alas, I got this shit.

Transformers Henkei Megatron is the 2032nd Transformer that I've acquired.

Encore Ironhide is the 2029th Transformer that I've acquired.

Encore Ratchet is the 2028th Transformer that I've acquired.

Revoltech Megatron is the 2027th Transformer that I've acquired.

Damn! I loves the black!

Takara exclusive TF Movie Incinerator is the 2026th Transformer that I've acquired.

I'm not exactly what the kids call a "GeeWunner" at all.

But Sky Lynx was a figure that if you ever told me they'd re-release him I'd have told you that you were full of shit and then smacked you upside the head for spreading anti-truth.

So... that being said.

I finally gots me a fully operational brand new Sky Lynx.

Encore Sky Lynx (Takara) is the 2025th Transformer that I've acquired.

I'm gonna rip this to shreads later tonight.

TF Zone: Dai Atlas (WonderFest 2007 Exclusive) is the 2024th Transformer that I've acquired.

Even still in the packaging he's great! Especially if you have a translucent plastic fetish.

Fusion Cluster Protoform Starscream is the 2023rd Transformer that I've acquired.

Want!

I think he's probably better than a Grandus.

TakaraTomy Binaltech Rijie is the the 2000th Transformer that I've acquired.

I gave up trying to get an original bright white Takara Tigatron a long time ago.

I just don't get why Hasbro painted theirs in such an off-white cream color.

Craptastic it was.

Beast Wars Tigatron is the the 1999th Transformer that I've acquired.

My biggest regret from Botcon was not purchasing the TakaraTomy (I still can't get used to that) Nike Sports Label Convoy and Megatron from Fumihiko for $100.

Yeah. They're pretty silly.

And yes, TakaraTomy looks to be doing the insane redeco thing with the Convoy one. We've seen the now generic "white repaint" as Ultra Magnus and now there's this "marine color repaint" that has popped. Oh. And the possible, though unconfirmed, Starscream.

I dont' know why but I find myself drawn to their silliness.

My only complaint is that they all are designed as left feet. I think it would have been a bit sillier to pair Convoy and Megatron as a set. And if they did more, the Autobots are always left feet and the Decepticons are always right feet.

I still may get them.

I doubt I'll ever find them for the price I could have paid at Botcon though.

Talk about your pain in the ass figures to find.

But I've acquired him, and that completes the standard and chase Takara Super Spychangers!

Car Robots Super Spychanger Counter Arrow (Chase) is the 1976th Transformer that I've acquired.

I only paid $10 for these and they are really rather cool!

When Takara does translucent they just know how to do it!

Takara Galaxy Force Legends Megatron, Convoy and Starscream are the 1952nd, 1953rd, and 1954th Transformers that I've acquired.

Yeah yeah yeah! I know. You're saying "What the fuck!?! More goddamn spychangers!?!?! You are sucka f'n loser!!!"

The Spychangers became sort of a niche for me and I've been trying to track down every single iteration of them.

Yes. It is lame. But then again how many years past 10 are you and you are reading this goddamn post!

When one has too many f'n toys one starts these stupid niche collections within the greater lamer collection!

This giftset has been a major pain in the ass to acquire. It is only the 5th I've seen and I've lost every ebay auction by less than $1 for the previous ones! Sniper bullshit!

The Car Robots Spychangers Giftset bots are the 1946th, 1947th, 1948th, 1949th, 1950th, and 1952st Transformers that I've acquired.

You can never have enough minicons.

Especially at $1 a pop!

Micron Densetsu Speed Team Minicons are the 1943rd, 1944th, and 1945th Transformers that I've acquired.

If you've got Stampy and you have to have Break then you have to have Longrack!

Beast Wars Neo Longrack is the 1942nd Transformer that I've acquired.

If you've got Stampy then you have to have Break!

Beast Wars Neo Break is the 1941st Transformer that I've acquired.

My god he and Ox (in chase form) have been a real pain in the ass to track down.

I still can't find a Counter Arrow chase figure!!!

Car Robots Super Spychanger X-Car (Chase) is the 1940th Transformer that I've acquired.

Car Robots Super Spychanger Ox (Chase) is the 1939th Transformer that I've acquired.

I may open them. I can at least "feel up" the black inner blind packed figures for Counter Arrow. He's an easy shape to feel out.

These unopened Super Spychangers are the 1921st through 1932nd Transformers that I've acquired.

One of my favorite toy redecos ever.

Now i have to find loose version of his two brothers.

Car Robots Mach Alert (Osaka Toysland 2000 Exclusive)i s the 1919th Transformer that I've acquired.
