Deluxe: $13-15 depending on the store. I've seen some Prime/Prime BH clearanced to $5.
Legend: $6-$7 ($3 on clearance)
Voyager: $23

I think Commanders have gone up to $10.

I almost bartered away a spare Bumblebee, but am glad I didn't. I used him to make a Binaltech inspired yellow Tracks. The rest of the back row is Toxitron, ROTF Rampage and Storm Jet. In the middle row are 3 kreons I built when I realized that I like how white limbs and helmets look on black and pu...

I picked up the wave 4 micro-changers at Walgreen's last week. The designs are quite good. I especially like how half of Alpha Trion's alt mode parts form his sword, and the other half form a backpack to balance him so he can hold the sword without falling over. Barrage's body is similar to Hardshel...

I put Rampage and Tantrum on Predaking's right, Divebomb and Headstrong on his left. I've seen the arms switched, but not the legs. I remember Divebomb being on the left from before I even had the toy. I was studying the catalog picture, trying to figure out what part had been removed and replaced, ...

I'm just so sick of seeing everything else dismissed as people talk about MPs as if they're the be-all, end-all of the franchise because nobody could possibly want anything but slavish 80s cartoon homages. I wasn't trying to say MPs were the be-all end-all of the franchise. I was trying to say that...

Thanks, Clay. Dev was inspired by me running out of flak vests and capes to make regular kreons, but having lots of spare combiner limbs. That also inspired me to make Fortress Maximus. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n28/IsaacHill/kreo2/fortmax_bot1.jpg "This is worse than G1!" http://...

But don't get me wrong. The Takara cars go for, what, $45 at Japanese retail? I don't think that's at all unreasonable for the non-Bumblebee ones, given their size, the added cost of licensing and a higher part count than your average Voyager. I'd happily pay that for Prowl or Sideswipe if I could ...

I made a ROTF Devestator out of some kreon combiner torsos, legs, and combiner limbs. There are no kreon wheels, treads or heads, so I couldn't reassemble him into individual constructicons, but I doubt I'll be taking him apart anytime soon. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n28/IsaacHill/kreo2/dev...

[CUSTOM] 1984 Kreons (& several others)

I made kreons of Sunstreaker, Hound, Brawn and Gears. With the cassette kreons I showed here , I was able to do this: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n28/IsaacHill/kreo2/kreon1984.jpg Here's a closeup of the four autobots (plus Somkescreen), though you can actually see the grey bits behind Sunstr...

Kre-O/LEGO Ratchet, Microchanger Wreckers, misc. Kreons

I added some LEGOs to my Kre-o Ratchet set to make a transforming version. The transformation scheme is basically G1 Inferno, with a long tile forming the center of the roof in place of a ladder. The main difference is that the head isn't attached to that long piece, but instead has its own joints i...

Knock Out was pretty great this episode. Between his taunting the humans, the interface thing, and the "too familiar?" bit, this was the most fun I've had watching TF:Prime in a while. You're right about the quests. It wasn't so bad in the previous seasons, since it at least gave the indiv...

The color scheme looks like an homage to G1 Barrage, who had grey stipes in beetle mode and yellow robot limbs. They also used this color scheme on Energon Insecticon. I can't explain the other problems.

That came out really nice. Thanks for posting the Lightspeed instructions. I don't know how well I'll be able to follow them, since most of my bricks predate ball joints. I tried your T-Rex as mech instructions and found them very easy to follow, so I'll give Lightspeed a shot when I have more moder...

[CUSTOM] G1 Predacons

After lurking for years, I finally have something to motivate me to register. I was dissapointed that Built to Rule and Kre-O sets require you to take the figure/vehicle completely apart and rebuild it to go from one mode to the other. I wanted to try building transformers that actually transformed....
