Wave 4 of the TF:Defenders from Blokees was pretty good. Some great characters like Rodimus, Rumble, Blitzwing and Scourge along with an awesome Rodimus alt mode.
Today’s bots: Rumble and Star Scream alt mode! Rumble is pretty cool and his pylons move.

The "finished" product - the ROAMING LIBRARY device, designed by @theslugnoodle and ported to esp32 by @wrewdison -- this thing is a web server and wifi hotspot that can serve up ebooks and text files to anyone nearby.. a library in your pocket!
This morning I soldered all the wires into place. It was very nerve wracking and I realized how shaky my hands are.

I was able to get the Arduino to compile and the app to update on my chip!! Now I can start customizing it to my needs!!!
Nerdy: Got my old NES controller hooked up via USB to my computer. Here it is on my matching keyboard. Now if only my desk was clean.

Unit 00 is a "eva-frame" which is basically a snap together Bandai kit. It is about 5 inches tall and came with a launch platform.
Unit 01 is a circa-2020 "real grade" Bandai model. The shoulders open and contain the knives, and there's a movable port for the entry plug. About 7 inches.
Unit 02 is the brand new Blokees version. It is visually very similar to the Bandai RG version and also has an entry plug.
110 comic books that needed to be sorted out and put away.
Unit 02!! The Blokees version is very nice, with great joints and a lot of nice details. Very playable, like the Bandai models that are quite brittle.
