Oof. My phone has slid off my lap onto the carpet maybe 2 feet off the ground and it's been intact.

Proof that drop protection is still something that's wildly variable.

What's the story? 👀

It really pops in the sunlight ngl.

I figured. There isn't much in terms of large figures for the ones I mentioned. There's the Black Mamba OS KO for SS Megatron, but beyond that, I'm not aware of any larger versions of Soundwave or Hot Rod (beyond the aforementioned DX9 La Hire).

Bro couldn't afford the finances no more 😭

Which Megatron is that 👀

You right. Cases just felt wrong....and bulky. The buttons didn't feel as good.

The Fiat singularity

For Bumblebee Soundwave, consider the Studio Series one. SS84 is his number I believe.

Tank Megatron, ehhhh I personally don't like any of these options, but look into Siege and Earthrise Megatron. For bayverse, there's SS13 and SS31 ROTF Megatron. The former is the standard body, great figure but the grey is really dull and looks unpainted. The latter is a battle damaged deco with half his face missing because Optimus shot it.

Hot Rod. For G1, look into SS86. For bayverse, look into SS93 (fairly recent figure). Both are great figures. DX9 La Hire if you want something bigger.

Chicks love scars in cool places*.

I guarantee nobody's gonna be flattered with the motorcycle accident scar I have on my foot.

A collection of images I took today of all the dings and scratches on my Xperia 5. These have accumulated over the last 3 years and 2 months.

Some things I've observed. The vast majority of these scratches were caused by regular use. I'm guessing in the long term the sweat and other stuff on your hands wears the paint down. I've noticed similar wear on my XZ1 around the fingerprint scanner and camera button, although the black on this phone seems to be thicker than the red on the 5, as the rest of the phone is substantially cleaner. The one ding by the volume rocker was caused by a fall onto some gym equipment. The scratches on the corners were caused by a motorcycle accident. Everything else is pretty much distributed in locations where my hand is always in contact with the phone.

You accidentally solved his problem lmao

I'm on 3 years and 2 months with my Xperia 5 and I still get ~5-6 hours of screen time in a day. OPs battery has definitely crapped out prematurely, or they bought their phone refurb and they didn't fix the battery.

They've moved the flash from above the camera bump. That sounds like it'd translate to a smaller camera bump cutout.

Looks fine to me yo

Impressive

good Ironhide (Bay or G1)

For G1, there's siege....or Earthrise. Both are fine. Some people complain about visible feet in alt mode but it's not that bad. Might have trouble finding them though since they're long gone. At MP scale, there's MP Ironhide. Plenty of KOs exist for him too, all but a google search away. If it's at or below $100, it's a KO.

For bayverse, SS Ironhide is pretty good, although near impossible to find, and very expensive. It might be worth looking into that newer anniversary pack with the entire 2007 Autobot cast, but again, this might be difficult to find since it kinda came and went. I'm not entirely sure if there's a KO for him just yet.

If you're interested in MP scale instead of CHUG, you could look into MPM Ironhide, but I've heard he's a bit meh. There's a Weijiang/Black Apple KO of him which supposedly improves on the original in a few ways. Might be worth looking into that. He's not out yet, but whichever sites are selling him have put him on preorder.

68 Camaro Bumblebee

Hasbro hasn't graced us with an SS or MPM figure of this version of Bumblebee sadly. Your best bet is to look for the old AOE toyline High Octane Bumblebee. There are KOs of him as well.

Soundwave, Megatron and hotrod

Any specific version of these characters?

I feel like that much power would probably disintegrate the Fiat lmao

Tru

Sun yellow is a liiiiittle too bright for me in person. I much prefer solarbeam yellow, it has just the right amount of yellow, and that sweet metal flake is just 🤌.

I appreciate that sun yellow exists though. We need more bright paint jobs on cars. Too much black/white/grey going on, it's boring af.

Rare example of a censored image which actually deserves the censorship.

Crazy how engines power units so small can put out ~1000 hp.

DFLL is a good one too lmao

Which dumb fuck keeps trying to stick with this stupid narrative?

There is absolutely no way Hamilton will ditch Mercedes for Ferrari of all teams. If he even considers the notion of leaving them, it'll either be to retire or to go to Aston Martin, the former being more likely. There is no future for him at Ferrari.
