Considering we ended up getting Optimus Upgrade Power Armors by the dozen ANYWAY, I'm glad we got a new character in Magnus. He's been a part of a lot of good stories over the years.

New Eternia feels like it's going off the rails a bit, doesn't it? We've gone from "Give Zodak some cool optional shoulder armour" to "make Robotto a killer terminator robot", "make Fisto have a non optional all metal arm and also he's not a ginger anymore for some reason", & "King Randor's bald...

I mean, I'd argue that once you get past his goofy design, and if he found some humility, Sky Lynx IS pretty heroic, powerful, and in the right colours...

This just makes me want to write a fanfic where the matrix went to Sky Lynx (another 1986 toy!) now. It would be glorious!

Okay, here's something a bit more pulled back: What if Autobot City had transformed (partially or wholly) into Metroplex for the movie, leading to the Metroplex toy to be released in orange instead of the gray we ended up getting?

I mean, yeah, in the real world they couldn't, but I thought we were talking about *story implications* on plot and character changes, within the confines of the movie itself. There have been lots of wild & interesting suggestions in the thread already.

If we're still talking alternate movie stuff, how about the Insecticons (& 1 of the clones) are instead upgraded into the Deluxe insecticons?

Yeah, I think the wild character designs & toy action features in the original MOTU line lead to a lot of fans having favourite characters that never got into the show much. That's how I ended up loving Stinkor & Snout Spout so much.

Wanna hear something fun? After tax & shipping, each of these guys are going to be around $175 CDN. That's $700 for just the main four characters :) I'll continue to hold out hope that Hasbro does a set in a couple of years.

With both combiner torso characters AND increasingly truck w/ trailer characters (Primes etc) moving into the Commander price point, that is a LOT of pressure for only one figure per year (maybe more like 9 months now?). It just makes sense to move to 2 a year if they ever want to do other...

It's actually only like 50% more after inflation, tbf.

Just use forced perspective like in LOTR!

Yeah, people complain that the large figures aren't in "true" scale, but I think don't always appreciate how much space they'd take up if they were ALL at that scale. Not everyone has an entire unused basement to display everything.

I'm also hoping the black on his forearms/head is slightly more of a charcoal than the straight black which tends to just eat details. I'm assuming the fists will be purple this time.

Looks good overall. My two biggest concerns were the size (CW was way too big for me) and the shade of green, and they got both right more or less. It looks like the torso and chest behind the chestplate is kindof...m shaped, though, which feels less than stable? Those are some large gaps! The...

Dancing Slime Toaster next please!

So, Constructicons reveal tomorrow, yes? Is the livestream pulse premium exclusive, then they'll post the video to yt afterward?

So, is Hasbro just washing it's hands of anything to do with PR for the time being? Was it announced how long this licensing deal is going to last?

Did they not shut down Rhode Island yet? I swear they announced it during the big purge last holidays...

I had really hoped they'd let the Transformers team loose on redesigning the Megazord from the ground up (keeping the silhouette and major design elements) but the situation between Takara & Bandai might have been insurmountable.
