Anyone else tried the new EX12 Diarbbitmon yet? Because the card is really, really good, like…

For starters, Angoramon now has a second searcher who can grab anything that mentions Angoramon, but can also grab anything that’s a [Nature Spirit]. Meaning in addition to a Memory gain, the deck now has another way to assemble its board. And speaking of which-

Seeing as how Angoramon already had an Airdramon who can get more Angoramon stuff to the board, there’s now an NsP SymbareAngoramon who can do the same thing but in a different way. Since the previously mentioned Angoramon can search NsP-mon as well, this means you could even slot in the NsP Monochromon if you wanted another card that can help you get to higher levels quicker. Which brings me to my next point-

Because it’s a Green deck, you then get access to Digisorption, Hidden Potential, etc and etc. And on that note, if you are swarming the board via Airdra/Symb/etc, you can just suspend the stuff you play to further utilize Digisorption/etc. Not to mention Angoramon already has a Lamortmon who can warp evolution. And don’t even get me started on Argomon’s inherited effect in this deck- My point is it has an abundance of synergy now, with its new tools, and I’m only scratching the surface.

Hell, the deck already had a cost reducer, so that now has a second searcher. Not to mention the old Ruli can now let the new Diarbbit use Vortex again. And with how easily you can get to Level 5, this means you can utilize BT1’s Mimi to further speed the deck up with faster hatches/etc.

My point here is that Angoramon is now a really fun deck, even if it’s ultimately just something casual.

Haywire

With Targetmasters Nut and Bolt

Been wanting to try my hand at throwing some paint on a Transformer figure(s) for a while now. I had noticed a lot of people opt for Inferno as a combiner torso, and between that and a couple conversations with @reversemoon255 and @toacaldoric , I figured I’d give it a shot. Haywire was the result.

Amethyst Unicorn

Luminous Unicorn + Spare parts

I felt the need to use pigments on a Luminous Unicorn Gundam; wound up realizing that it’s difficult to photograph its metallic purple finish.

You always could just buy small brushes, if a dusty kit really concerns you.

Star Eagle

Or….

Lady Liberty, Captain Falcon, Iron Eagle, Freedom Flier, Red White and Flew, American Woman, Barnstormer, Mrs America, etc.

All jokes aside, I really do get a kick out of this redeco of Airrazor.

idk why I made this

This is canon

Here’s some easy tips for anyone who’s interested in trying to customize an Alus for the first time. Alternatively, how to build a cosplay for one of your little dudes~

(This also includes Core Gundam)

An easy starting point is opting for legs that have some sort of transformation to them; usually this involves a leg that’ll shift itself down a bit, but you can use this as a sort of guide to give yourself an idea of how it’ll fit on a Core Gundam. You are likely going to hollow more of it out anyway, so you may as well give yourself something to work with. Remember: Its not just a matter of pegging a new leg on, the Core has to actually wear it.

Another thing you could try doing is using a shoulder that’s more akin to just being armor, or a guard, etc. This is also an easier way to fit it onto a Core, since chances are you won’t have to do much internal work, and can probably just slip it on.

Seeing as how the only Alus Armor they gave us was Fake Nu, and given Nu’s simpler design, you have to think to yourself what can you do to make a Nu resemble the rest of it’s matching armor. In some cases, you can probably just repaint everything and call it a day, but if it’s got a certain look to it, then feel free to try and integrate other bits and pieces into it as well.

Ideally, because an Alus Armor is essentially just an edgy counterpart, try to add some sharp/pointed details to exaggerate this aspect of it. So long as everyone else can get the idea of what suit the armor is based on, then you should be good to go.

Meant to post this the other day, forgot about these, but whatever; doing it now!

Anyway-

At the time, @reversemoon255 sent me a video that had briefly mentioned ‘belts’ in an old Pojo magazine. Tried to google for pages/scans/etc of this exact one, but couldn’t find it online. So after an eBay purchase and waiting a few weeks, Pojo’s Unofficial Total Gundam Wing had arrived. While the magazine itself has some pretty neat pages in it, granted, it was from the year 2000, above are the pages I wanted to share with everyone; the various belts that correlated to how this old magazine categorized it, in a purely-for-fun way.

They end up on various shelves, OR I just pack a bunch of them up in a box together and store it somewhere. Typically, ones on shelves are ones I like. Sometimes something ends up here that I hadn’t photographed before, or it’s just an older build.

Spooky scary skeleton man!

Arsenal Gundam X

The thick paint gives it +5 Defense~

Went and saw Masters of the Universe. It’s so deliciously cheesy in the best possible way, and makes for a genuinely fun movie.
