If we were to match the old GDO Powerdive, then DotM Skyhammer could be an option. That'd be a weird as hell release to make a "sequel" for, though...

For sure. Again, the 80s were a different time. The writing style of kids' cartoons was hyper-sensitive when it came to violence and general "bully"-type learnable behaviour, but there still tended to be a lot of insensitivity along racial or gender or minority lines, with lots of questionable...

Which probably went in hand with them opening up an Amazon.com storefront to sell the toys in North America. I wish they were able to go further, and release the toys in actual brick and mortar stores, though. I've had no luck with the storefront on anything I like out of the line, and trying...

99 of those uses are variations on "Annoy _X_". The 100th use is "Bring joy to me".

Goes with what I said to Darth_Prime just a few posts up. The V-Lock Rifle should obviously have been an auto-include. But gets shunted out of the base package due to the price structure they wanted to set. Unfortunately, those using the Sentinel and Galactus HasLabs as benchmarks for extras...

??? There's a long history of slipping adult-oriented jokes into children's cartoons. The DCAU practically made an artform of it. Sure, there's overt rules against some of that stuff, but showrunners tend to be pretty canny at skirting the rules.

I'm sure they timed Christopher Sabat's video for this very reason. Although for perfect meme synchronicity, it should've been Brian Drummond. And Drummond is actually affiliated with Transformers, aside.

Yeah, the TFW thread does get bogged down at times with 5mm stuff. It's like "duh". I still have minor PTSD about Blot's jaw, though. While pretty much everybody is in agreement that it's just a design quirk, there's one guy over there that's still in denial, who will scream to the heavens...

Yeah, the TFW2005 of this thread runs into all sorts of hairsplitting as well. Probably safer just to say that poorly documented gimmicks are safe game as well. Plus happy coincidences.

The art of setting a price point is balance. It's not a matter of saying "Price it at $220, then we can afford everything". That $40 difference could be the difference between success and failure. On a gamble like this, they're trying to estimate the perfect intersection between "premium"...

'Tis what I said.

More coincidental than an intentional feature, but in trying to search for a suitable weapon for Earthrise Sunstreaker (because using the supercharger as a gun looks dumb), I happened across the fact that one of RiD2015 Bisk/Thermidor's handguns fits absolutely perfectly in the gap between his...

Faceplate is flipped up, can't see his eyes.

It was certainly a different time. 80s cartoons were blunt as a sack of rocks, hokey as all hell, and filled with questionable stereotypes. And they're so full of straight-faced nonsense that they're still a lot of fun, but only if you can keep yourself from taking them too seriously.

Then you didn't watch Space Dandy. It's absolutely my favourite series of the last ten years or so, and will fight you over that.

Given how Mercury is a completely inhospitable planet and would fry to a crisp virtually anything we tried to put on its surface, I doubt the name is literal. Other Mercury references in the franchise, though, would be Gundam Wing's Mercurius (although that goes back to astrology/mythology...

Anniversary video:

That's where we run against the realities of economizing. If they guaranteed the V-Lock, then the minimum buy-in would've probably been $200 or the minimum backer amount would've been higher. Change either variable, and you throw the whole projection formulas out of whack. The mere perception...

Sangonomiya Kokomi teaser:

On top of that, the hand-drawn artwork creates even further variance, but for workflow reasons, the in-game player character models are currently limited to five main archetypes: adult male, adult female, teen/short male, teen/short female, and child. You'll see lots of shared animations for...
