    Interesting old transforming toyline that I just discovered

    They seem to be roughly 1:64, Hot Wheels/Matchbox scale. For the Chopper and Van, they unfolded into playsets. Found some old commercials from GiG (same Italian company that distributed Transformers back in the day)

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    I would not be shocked to see the new Studio Series Long Haul remolded / repainted into Landfill as they actually do share a lot of visuals with the truck front forming the chest. Mixmaster into Quickmix wouldn't be quite as on-the-nose, but I would probably still buy it.

    Toys Transformers Merch Retro-Review: G1 Stamps!

    I have to admit, I've never been a huge G1 toy collector. I'll definitely pick them up if I find them at garage sales / thrift stores / flea markets where the prices are reasonable (or ridiculously low on a good day), but I've never made a point of trying to seek them out, as modern toys are so...

    Toys Transformers Merch Retro-Review: G1 Stamps!

    Beautiful pictures and great review. I never knew about the Optimus head carrying case. Now I have an intense need for one of them.

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I'd be glad if this comes to fruition. I loved One and would like to see more in this world.

    Studio Series discussion

    This comes up occasionally, and my opinion is pretty much the same. I do vastly prefer the look of clear windows. Ideally, they're somewhat tinted to hide the folded up robot bits inside, but it's not 100% necessary. Painted windows aren't an absolute dealbreaker, but I do wish they'd avoid...

    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    We can send a man to the moon, but we can't make this a reality? We've failed as a society.

    G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    I don't really follow GI Joe, but I would buy some reasonably priced Mega Construx Joe/Cobra figures as they'd scale nicely with Transformers

    The Original Gobots returning to TV

    Ah, well that wouldn't be so bad, then. I don't have Prime, but I do have an Amazon account.

    The Original Gobots returning to TV

    Aaaaand Amazon is shutting down Freevee. Well, I guess I got a couple few weeks of enjoyment out of it.

    Interesting old transforming toyline that I just discovered

    Yeah, they definitely seem to vary in how successful the combined robot modes are. I wish I had access to better images of the rest of them. Surely SOMEONE out there has to have good pictures.

    Interesting old transforming toyline that I just discovered

    I follow a Facebook group that showcases obscure old robots from the 70's through the 90's. Recently, someone posted in search of information on a toy that they had had as a child. Some various people chimed in, and long story short, they were a from a Spanish toyline called Autotech by a...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    I've been checking my Ross and a Burlington Coat Factory out of town that I was near over the weekend, but no luck so far. I didn't need a full priced Twincast, but I would definitely take a severely discounted one.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    And it wouldn't be completely without precedent. Hasbro did a Legends of Cybertron version back at SDCC 2005.

    Smart reuse of existing molds. 10/10.

    Hero Mashers Returns! (Hasbro Mixmashers)

    Interesting that Megatron comes with a jetpack clearly meant for Optimus's "Arc Armor" while Optimus comes with Super Megatron's arm cannon. They seem fun enough, especially when mixed with other items from other properties, but nothing I feel like I need. Like Coffehorse said, if these were...

    Happy Anniversary! I've been enjoying this place since around 2005. The community and discussion here is something I've really come to treasure over the years. Let's do another 25 years.

    Studio Series discussion

    I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. If this were a Core or something, it'd be pretty decent, but for a Deluxe, this is pretty bad. I mean, we've had several really good Optimi lately, so it's not huge loss, but I'm just wondering who decided that the world needed this instead of just doing...

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    The connection can be a little floppy/loose sometimes, so I would probably prefer a standardized ball joint, but I wouldn't absolutely hate it.
