Pick your two favorites. I made Prime first, since I'm obsessed with him. Then, making Megatron seemed the next logical step (why make the main hero, if you're not gonna make the main villain?). From there, I just started to eyeball my Classics shelf, and see what Minimate pieces I had in my parts box. The Daredevil mask and Doc Ock belly dictated Bumblebee would be next, and an Invisible Woman torso decided Soundwave for me (yes, his tape door is translucent!).

I just tried to go through the ranks of who I knew (I was just starting to get back into TFs, so I had to be reintroduced to everybody), the 20th Anniv. DVD helped provide inspiration, as well as some great design ideas from Lurch (my Starscream is almost exactly his design!). I made Springer, and now Jazz, because I'm really starting to love those characters (maybe not enough to supplant Prime as my #1, but still pretty favorable). Headstrong was made simply because the Rhino headpiece was just too perfect (thanks again for them, Lurch! And the Cyclops helmets - Jazz used one!).

Plot it out first, before you jump in. These designs (even the simple G1) are pretty complex for such tiny, detail-less figures. Something I've learned is with Minimates: Less is more.

Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your finished products!

And I don't want to make anything if it can't transform.

Didn't stop me...

I really wanna see that Venom more clearly...he looks kick@$$!!

Dude, that looks manufactured!! It looks like the C3 one (which I still need so badly), and that's a compliment, trust me!

If I can offer some constructive criticism:

You're getting too close to them, the camera's focusing on the wall behind them. Also, the pics are enormous.

The 'Mates look awesome, but it's hard to see them well, since they're so blurry.

You can suggest it, but when I upload pictures, I'm done with the custom.

Every Jazz custom I've ever seen has had the giant bunny ears.

Sorry, I'm happy with it.

Bigbadtoystore.

A few other places that escape me at this moment.

UM is discontinued, though, which makes me a sad panda.

It's looking like the entire movie will be shot like the Teaser Trailer.

Also, "Cloverfield" is a fake title. IMDB link

Return of The Jedi (filmed as "Blue Harvest") and Batman: The Dark Knight (filming now as "Rory's First Kiss" in downtown Chicago) are just two out of hundreds of movies that do that for ultimate secrecy during filming.

IMDB says it's being called

"The Parasite"

Did anyone read my posts?

"A boy has to decided"

It's fake, but still pretty cool.

There have been talks about making a live-action Eva movie, though. I've read plan rumors in magazines from NEO, Anime Insider, Wizard, Starlog, Dreamwave, Empire and Sci-Fi.

Nothing about a cast, but someone out there wants to do it.

Anyone recommend the Revoltech Prime and Megatron? I just saw these and they look pretty cool

God, I want them and Magnus so freakin' badly, it's not even funny...

A little teaser:

Create a thread here, and share them with everyone!!

Thanks, guys!

Just finished this little guy five minutes ago...

Nice. TENIMUS Prime approves!!

Yep. I have the first wave of Battlestar Galactica, and I've never seen an episode.

I collect Minimates. I don't care what they're of.

Nor do I care about ending sentences with a preposition.

Can we see pictures of said TARDIS next to a 'Mate? How much was it? And, where might one go about acquiring this for themselves (along with the in scale Daleks, should Ady happen by this thread)?

I hope it's not Godzilla (no matter how much I - the only person on the planet - enjoyed the 2000 version)

You're not alone, I actually liked it too. I have also heard some rumors of it being Cthulhu.

Cool. Go Matthew Broderick!! And, c'mon, Harry Shearer doing his Kent Brockman in a live-action movie? How can anyone not like that!?

Cthulu, huh? I don't know, especially with how the movie's being filmed.

My wife claims to have seen the title "BAD ROBOT" somewhere in the non-title containing credits.

I was personally more exited about the "I Am Legend" trailer with Will Smith. I have no idea what that movie is about but it looks cool!

Bad Robot is J.J. Abrams' production company. That logo is at the end of every LOST episode (along with an adorable child saying "Bad robot!").

IAL does look awesome. I love post-Apocalyptic stories, and I love Will Smith, so I'm definitely seeing that one...

ok acording to my parents and my friends (besides you guys) i am to old

I'll be 25 in a few weeks, and toys are pretty much the only thing I spend my spare money on nowadays. Who gives a crap what other people think/say?

Hate to see you go, Chameleon, but I love to watch you leave.

I'm sorry, that's gross and inappropriate, but I had to!

I hope it's not Godzilla (no matter how much I - the only person on the planet - enjoyed the 2000 version), and I hope it's not a living fireball (I'm sorry, but I much rather would've had the monster on LOST be

).

I also hope the entire movie isn't filmed in the Super-8 style. That works for the teaser, but not an hour and a half/2 hours. Blair Witch at least had a decent camera filming half the movie... EDIT: It's looking like the entire movie will be shot like the Teaser Trailer. Crap.

This could be really amazing, or really, super-ghey. What'll it be, Mr. Abrams?

Also, "Cloverfield" is a fake title. SPOILER WARNING!!

Return of The Jedi (filmed as "Blue Harvest") and Batman: The Dark Knight (filming now as "Rory's First Kiss" in downtown Chicago - yay, Chicago!) are just two out of hundreds of movies that do that for ultimate secrecy during filming. So, it's entirely possible it could be Godzilla. Which would be stupid. Why do we need another Godzilla movie!?

I'd like to think it'll end up in "what were we thinking!?" limbo with (hopefully) Desperately Seeking Susan.

The DSS was just a poster in 'Mate style. They did a bunch of those (yes, Back to the Future and Spider-Man 3 are being made, but still,) I don't remember ever hearing about actual 'Mates...

I too am a Wendigo fan, but the white Sasquatch variant of the late ToyBiz waves, worked nicely. However, a Byrne style Wedigo, would be a cool figure.

White Sasquatch was Wendigo. Wtf, Hasbro!?

Alright, it's settled. I'm getting a 20th Anniversary Prime (or Takara version or whatever). These two pics made up my mind:

I mean, how friggin' cool is that!

MP Prime is an Alternator. And G1-faithful. There is no TF that is any better than MP Prime. It's just my opinion, but the figure is too d*mn perfect in terms of source faithfulness, articulation, transformation and size. I don't think it will ever get better than Masterpiece/20th Anniv. Optimus Prime.

Hey, could anyone take a couple good pictures with mimimates driving alternators? Thanks!

I have some somewhere on my PC from an abandoned Spy photo-comic I was going to do. Let me check on that...

Thanks. Actually...

...not entirely my idea...

Quick Custom:

I gave Green Arrow The Spectre's hood.

First page/post.

At the hardware store there is a product called Goof-Off. Put a little on a rag, and it will rub the paint right off!

QFT!!

Though, I use a Q-tip. Lets me control how small of an area I remove the paint from. Good for taking stubble off a face!!

D*mn. I had a good one, too...
