This looks great but all that stuff piled onto base Optimus is making me a bit concerned about the joints. Optimus does not have the tightest joints and are all pin joints.

We still don’t know what happened between FOC and the Prime cartoon, if they’re still insisting it’s the same continuity.

It’s probably a pop culture Japan-ism. Like how they use Scram for random jet components that have nothing to do with nuclear power or leaving, or Harken for anything vaguely pointy. It’s as simple as somebody thought it sounded cool so they used it once and other people thought it also sounded...

I wouldn't put much stock into this, since all the alternate costumes are just reskins or texture edits of the default Batsuit. Case in point, the Beyond suit has the most awkward cape/wing animations.

Yeah, good luck marketing that. "Buy a box that turns into a standing box or a standing open box! Based on the characters that killed the G1 franchise in Japan! Only $200!" That said, if Star Convoy is about Deathsaurus-sized, That'd leave enough mass to make a pretty big Grandus and have some...

Wasn't that the Cyberverse commanders? The Prime Voyagers had a ton of clear plastic, but most of them didn't have a path for the light from the back to the front and the way the light-up weapons worked, the light would be aimed away from the toy if you pegged them on the back and the light-up...

I'm waiting for G2 colors for the other Dinobots. Already using the 3P FOC dinobots but different colors would do it for me

I get the vibe that they wanted to do something like the Studio Series game toys but this is roughly the same design team that didn’t want to make Headmasters because kids might lose the heads so they did what we got.

They’d just gotten it right in the DOTM line, and even the non-locking weapons from that line looked like something when not activated at least. Worst part is that Ultra Magnus shows that they knew that people would want to lock the weapons in activated mode but they only did that on him. With...

I think it was a Hasbro Asia Chinese New Year thing. It came as a two-pack with the rocky Unicron with preassembled minicons and unlike Takara's Prime stuff, everything was painted up to the gills. Saw a lot of them here and in Hong Kong but never bit since I'm not paying full price for the...

I think the First Edition toys nailed the balance between complexity, accuracy and articulation. PRID is a worthy contender though the insistence on weird gimmicks kinda hampered the line.

I bought APC’s Takara colors Optimus. It’s okay but it replicates the deco to a fault down to nonpainted rims. Base Colors are great though. Tolerances could use some work. The shoulders don’t connect to the tires very well and moving the arms can randomly dislodge them. Also for all the...

They probably wanted to keep things simple and since the only people who’d care are the nerds who’d know what toyline subgroup Star Convoy’s from anyway, there’s no benefit to complicating matters.

Unless it's absolutely amazing, I'll probaby pass. Don't have the space for too many titans and being another Optimus isn't going to help matters.

Wow, it's actually on schedule.

He’s stupid.

I love Batman Beyond but this isn't it chief. Add all the greeble and detail you want but you don't mess with the face. He looks like Spider-Man 2099 more than anything.

Core class figures with Hulk hands sold at deluxe. Works for Leader class.

They’re just about out of gigantic dudes with media presence anyway. Only things left are like Metroplex that is more G1 and maybe FOC Metroplex.
