Yup, that's the one! I think I got better as I went along at faking stuff like that.

Weren't some of those TFs the bigger versions? Like the Megatron standing outside the Terrordrome? Or Bombstrike et al riding in Hound (the green Jeep Wrangler) If not, that's one helluva Photoshop job. Cool story.

I agree, it would work with other small elements.. like ppl. If i just look at the two 'copters as is, it works, but having other elements would enforce it.

I don't think it'll be too hard to find a couple 1/72 scale HMMWVs or some other vehicles. The look I'm going to go for is the Cobra will be providing air cover while the CH-53E picks up some troops from a hot LZ.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

I wish! And a 1:18 scale Osprey! I know, I know, Chap Mei makes an Osprey, but it's NOT to scale!

Hound, on the other hand, is an Alternators figure, which is 1:24 scale, so it still took some 'Shopping to get Bombstrike (1:18 scale) into the driver's seat.

Glad you liked the story! If I can ever get motivated to take some pictures, there will be more on the way.

Like, if you blur the chopper near you, that would indicate the chopper below is where you want the reader's focus. And vice versa. Fuzz the bottom, keep the top clear. And then softly blur the background and add some motion fx (not that I usually do). A lot of it is angle and what not. It's doable.
