Kuro's Smol Collection

Named not just because I don't have that many, but because my circumstances mean I can't get any single Transformer bigger than a Leader Class at the moment.
Yeah. Really. Might be able to get Overlord tho.
Anyway, yeah; figured it was about time I made one of these considering how much I take pictures of my money-burning hobby and ramble on about the importance of fiction for toys bred of rampant capitalism. Or something. Welcome to my thingy! I'll post pictures I think are good but actually aren't, post thoughts I think are enjoyable and thought-provoking but aren't, and generally be that one person you put up with to be nice but just nod your head and back away slowly. Welcome to my madness!
Seriously I'm just gonna post my hauls and random pictures and anything I think doesn't fit elsewhere over here. Expect way too much praise for MTMTE/Lost Light and the robots that happen to be classified as female. Try not too groan too hard
I haven't prepared for this at all because, well, I'm a Uni student. That's kind of 101 for us. Instead, have some random pictures I've taken throughout the past year before I actually get some organisation together!
Have to start things off with a Lost Light display. How can I not start things off with a Lost Light display? If you think I won't you're crazy. I'm crazy. We're all crazy. This one's a little outdated because I've got some figures since, and at the time it was so small and I was so short on Protectobots I put friggin' Hot Spot in there! I mean he's technically part of the Lost Light but... c'mon. Honestly I just loved his design too much to not put him with my favourite characters.
This was only taken about 10 months ago but still makes me feel old. Partly because most of these guys - vehicons, Armada Starscream mold, Skywarp, Soundblaster - are off in storage at my mum's. So I figured I'd post this one since I ain't gonna get them for pictures any time soon! I still love em a lot, especially that Soundwave mold and that Vehicon mold (mainline, not first edition). The former is absolute badassery and everything great about Soundwave condensed into one big meaty figure (impressive for the infamously bad quality of figures at the time), and the latter is just the best armybuilder ever and I will fight you over that.
Long time ago I figured eventually I would get one shelf to represent every character and toy released in G1 in a single year. So I'd have a shelf for every character and toy in 1984, a shelf for every character and toy in 1985, etc etc.
Months later I realised this was incredibly stupid and I limited myself only to characters I loved or toys I thought looked friggin' amazing (hello Wolfwire). But not before I'd gotten a few random characters like Roadbuster and Chromia for cheap, so I bundled them all together into this ragtag team lead by Optimus because I love ragtag teams and Classics Optimus is a fantastic toy. I also came up with the idea of having the classics Prowl mode hold their guns like that to cover up their hideously long neck. It works!
My (for now) complete Combiner collection. There's a few I think look really great (Grand Galvatron, Computicon) but the four combiners I really like (as characters and teams) are Bruticus, Defensor, Victorion and Predaking. And since I don't see an official update for Predaking round these parts, far as I'm concerned, for now this is a complete collection. And a pretty friggin' sweet one at that, look at these guys! I love them! They have the exact same torso mold yet they look so different and unique and they're cool and oh my god Combiner Wars had it's faults but at least we got this. Love 'em.
And Victormeown. Because Victormeown.
Expect more pictures and nerdery soon!
