#afterburner
Comparison shots of three NGPC systems, each with a different screen configuration.
*Not shown: one with a worm light
Up first is an unmodified stock Pocket Color. Let’s be honest, playing that thing is near impossible, back then or now.
Next up is my first Pocket Color from back in the day with an Afterburner front light mod done by @jamma_nation_x probably sometime mid 2000s.
Last is the more recent full size IPS screen installed on one of the extra systems I had planned for a random pi project. I’m glad I decided to keep it as-was so it could land here
It’s not completely done, mind you. I had to borrow some parts from another unit to get it to this point so I’m still digging for those parts that go with this one. The shell also doesn’t sit quite flush so I need to work that out as well. Regardless… man, this is what I’ve been waiting literal decades for.
Still looking forward to what @bennvennelectronics might do in the Neo Pocket aftermarket screen game back when things are more normal again

It’s time for TECHNOBOTS, combining to form the mighty COMPUTRON!
Led by the previously-profiled Scattershot, L-R at the top we have Nosecone, Strafe, Afterburner, and Lightspeed. As usual for G1 “scramble city” style combiners, the four smaller bots look great in vehicle mode and a bit clunky as bots, and each can be used as any limb of the combined form. The first pic of Computron is done as per the instruction booklet, while the second is more like a pic found on tfwiki, with the leg bots flipped around and extended for a slightly taller stance, and a few more weapons attached. Bonus pic of Computron and our previous combiner Abominus mugging in bad lighting.

Having fun with digital sketching. Might have played too much Outrun and Afterburner back in the day! (feat Nomi Abadi)
