    Hasbr-uh-oh

    I don't know that that was their best bet. It seemed like an easy money spinner to keep the annual shows going, although I can see where it gets foggy in terms of making toys stateside. I have no knowledge of how the toylines performed. Still, having so much of the production of the show...

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

    Per the wiki and this tweet, apparently so. https://x.com/mechtavius/status/1667326036537753601 Sigh, idk if I'll ever get around to a new one. Here's hoping they bother to reissue it at least.

    Hasbr-uh-oh

    I think it's been "almost cancelled" and such before (once before In Space, and another time or two with network changes and company shakeups) but I think this is new. Admittedly I wasn't paying attention during the 2000s so I've almost certainly missed something. Still. I don't think it's ever...

    Hasbr-uh-oh

    This is frustrating. Warden is too good to not have on a team somewhere. Hasbro for the last couple of years has really felt reactionary. Longer term plans demand a lot of investment, which is harder now, but the payoff would be so much more than the recent string of "let's try and milk this...

    Again, totally wrong continent for it. But timing is such a crucial thing too. Primuses with the Unicron head were in healthy supply at the time, but I was really in no financial shape to get an item that big-ticket. And now that I'm... Uh, still in not amazing financial shape, it's been...

    Make that the line for all the animation errors. Walmart's capsule is Carnage in C-Minor, featuring reissued SS86 Ultra Magnus with Constructicon accessories. Amazon has Five Faces of Darkness.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    At this point I would love a GI Joe that was informed by, uh, National Treasure. Like work some history bits and lore in there, make it about exploring and searching for something (treasure, a Macguffin like the Abernathy axe, etc) with minimal military presence. Lead with a movie that's driven...

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

    I MAY need a Primus, because a while back I got the very pretty Takara 2010 one but never got to open and display it because of a move. And since then I've discovered via the wiki that apparently he has one of those crumbling metal-flake plastic diseases, so I've just left him in the box...

    That would be neat. I haven't been able to get Legacy Junkions, sadly (I did manage to get Tow-Line and eventually Road Pig), but I want to backtrack and get them later on. I've been hooked on the idea since Weaponizers were introduced. (In another universe I imagine the third part of the WFC...

    I kinda want to get the TAV Insecticons for the cartoon colors, so they can be smaller clones of the Legacy ones. I support the idea of a Targetmaster Hot Rod in whatever line. They can revisit that canceled toy colors one, or do the AKOM colors the MP did. Use either Siege Firedrive or a...

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

    This is actually a still from the super dark and edgy fan remake of TFTM1986, where Prime does that double axe handle haymaker thing to Megatron, except it's 122% more badass because he has a sword and cuts Megatron across the chest and wires and oil and oh man it's gory AF please like our...

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

    I remember the reveal of Masterpiece OP and Alternators Smokescreen. I wish I could backtrack and reread the threads here and elsewhere (or that I had the energy to go through the steps that entails), because the pure amazement and gushing that fans had at the time was magic and should be...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I think it's workable enough on a per-story basis (response and travel time alone would be a big card to play), but it's not the sort of thing that can keep happening that way and just be ignored. Before long it's "some highly trained special mission force, lol". But like I said and to your...

    And now I'm looking at some photos where he hews even more blue, which looks good. I guess it's somewhat fitting for THIS goddamn mold to be an optical illusion as always, given how badly it played with visual perception when it was first, first leaked.

    I'd try to pay $200. Eventually, I might even be able to.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    It's always tricky having GI Joe and Transformers coexist in the same universe because the latter element escalates things immediately. It's hard to isolate and ignore it for the sake of telling GI Joe stories. They're the elephant in the room that always has to be acknowledged because why would...
