Into The Fray

Into the Fray
Photo-A-Day #1390

Here the Autobots are advancing upon me from my desk. I have my little army set up in their respective factions, Autobot vs. Decepticon. I took most of my toys home when I moved desks but decided that a little room could be spared for my Robot Heroes. They are one of the more fun toys to collect from Hasbro because they are G1 themed Transformers. I am pretty much only going to get G1 themed Transformers toys form now on, if I get them at all. I waited for a while till major sales and clearances started happening and I picked up a few more of the Transformers Universe characters like Springer, Ratbat and Onslaught.

Depicted in the picture here we have Mirage, Hound, Sunstreaker, Bumblebee, Arcee, Blaster, Ironhide (hidden by Hound’s arm), Jazz (behind Ironhide), Grimlock, Ultra Magnus, Hotrod, and two Optimus Primes (One holding the matrix).

But today is not about toys it was about getting down to business. I just learned that more responsibilities will be coming my way at work and so I am mentally getting myself back into shape to be a more productive employee. I am also taking time to read some of the books that grace my desk and learn how I can apply what is in each book to both my job and to my blogs. Today I started reading Combinations by Ed Gerety. Each morning I will read a chapter as I eat breakfast, and then I will pick out what I learned from the reading and share it.

Among the Robots

Another day, more Transformers. I emptied out all the boxes. I think I have misplaced a box somewhere though. I am not sure where that box is. It has some Binaltech transformers in it though.

I’ve set up one half of the room, the Decepticon half, All the ones that are not in boxes are all over the floor and need to be put into the bookshelf. I took a bunch of pictures while I made some progress. Here are some additional images.

It was very fun looking through all my old Transformers. I played with my original ones and they have some marks of wear and tear. Stickers have been moved, I used to take them apart with tiny screwdrivers and put them back together. Some characters are missing parts but not many, very very few are missing any parts at all. I may have to search the parts dealers at BotCon to see if I can get some replacement parts.
