It's a Cybertronian Christmas

Christmas. Tis the time of the year to either go big or go home. The Christmas displays are usually the ones that are the most expansive, most insane, and a whole heck of a lot of fun.

This one was no different. Transformers are awesome. They're trucks and cars and planes that turn into robots. That kind of awesome logic rooted into my childhood brain and has been stuck there, and will continue to be stuck there. I constantly see new Transformers and I have a very hard time walking away without picking them up.

That said, I wanted to see what Christmas was like for Cybertronians. Would the two factions, the Autobots and Decepticons get along? Would they come together for a joyous occasion or would their animosity get the better of them and everything would descend into chaos?

The "bones" of the display. No paint. No flash. No nothin'. Well, not nothing. I can't even begin to tell you how long it took to get that bridge to stay in place. It was a nightmare. And it involved math, which let me tell you, is not my favorite subject.

Welcome to Soundwaves, Soundwave's Disco and Energon Emporium. As you can see, it's surfaces closely resemble the Decepticon in question. It's also been attacked by Christmas. In the background, you can see the bridge. I did a cutaway in the bridge, so that there was a "Tron-ish" red line about two inches wide running down the center.

Masterpiece Prime (aka Santimus Prime) waits for the line of young children and friends to come tell him what they want for Christmas. Red Alert stands guard, as do a few of Blaster's tapes. Notice Arcee holding G1 Bumblebee's hand!

Everybody is helping deck out the tree this year. Bulkhead is overseeing things while Swoop places the lights. Ironhide and Kup unload the gifts from Optimus' trailer.

Things are busy up on the Space Bridge. Shockwave rolls around, Soundwave Prime skulks about, and Animated Optimus makes sure everything is kosher.

THE WORLD'S MOST ULTIMATE SNOWBALL FIGHT, CYBERTRONIAN STYLE. AW YEAH!

Inside Soundwaves, the music is hopping. Jazz is break dancin', Blitzwing jams on the piano while Black Arachnia croons what I'm sure is a haunting melody, and Animated Jetstorm gets his smooth criminal on.

Oil Slick dishes out Energon at the bar while Soundwave himself mixes the music for his patrons.
