Transformers: Primeage, where every figure is just Optimus's with different characters alt modes, just in Prime colours.

I've seen it and it looks phenomenal. There are details in those models that were never even seen on broadcast tv. I can confirm the Beast Wars master tapes still exist, though what shape they're in I don't know.

Tbf I did suggest that perhaps Primus had given/activated sparks to the Cybertronians during the occupation, which would help to explain the kickoff of the rebellion. They might have been under a shell program before, or maybe they were more of a generalized AI that got tampered with, or what...

Yeah. Also, we're getting a (presumably) slightly taller SS86 Megatron next year, and at least IMO, the triple changers should not be shorter than Op and Megs (which Astrotrain/Blitz etc already are!).

Yes, that's what I was trying to get at. This was in War Dawn wasn't it? Or maybe FFOD? It was the Cybertronians gaining sentience during their enslavement that allowed them to rebel and drive off the Quintessons. I guess this also might indicate that there were never too many Quintessons to...

Yeah, the Seige Astrotrain mold is fun and a better likeness than Titans Return was, but it's still flawed and needs a redo more than, say, Springer did. Seige Astrotrain's colour values were a bit off (this version is better but still not perfect), the shuttle mode has those weird gaps and both...

This new paintjob looks nicer on the Astrotrain, but it does illustrate how much I'd prefer a Studio Series version.

One thing I haven't seen here yet is...didn't the Cybertronians only gain sentience while under the control of the Quintessons, and then followed to start the rebellion that saw the Quintessons driven off? Obviously all the Primus stuff was moreso in the comics, but couldn't this have just been...

They almost look like Dino Riders, don't they?

How about this, then. Turn core class into mini weaponizer/armourizers, which will be based on both Pretender inner robots, and Action master partners, which in turn can be used with the Deluxe class, which will be Action Master homages and don't transform, but are relatively standarized so all...

The main problem with Pretenders for me was that the way they did them in G1, the shells were very fragile, with tabs that were easily broken. It also lead to limited articulation and an inability for the main shells themselves to really DO anything. Any modern rendition would need to be smaller...

The mold has its flaws, but if you have any nostalgia for G1 Blitzwing's toy, there are a lot of great callbacks to it that warm me to it. Yes, even the goofy cockpit sticking out of the tank. And the colours are perfect.

Yes, and there hasn't even been any listings for Quickstrike or any more BW characters has there?

Hm, would Tankor need to be a Commander? They'd probably never go for it, I'd accept a Leader class though.

I've seen this and it's a good illustration of how lighting changes colours in photography. Here, Studio Series Magnus looks a lot closer to the G1 toy shade of blue, whereas in person it's a MUCH more purpley shade of blue. As a fan of the G1 toy I was very disappointed (it's still a nice toy...

I mean, Devastator wasn't THAT much bigger than the Dinobots. Sludge seems to be as big as Devastator's torso here, and is probably as long, tail to nose, as Devastator is tall, or in the ballpark of.

I stand by the idea that the loss of the Minibots at that scale crippled the size class. Well, that and having too many double dips of characters in both the movie and generations aesthetics at the same time. Also it would have been nice to see some souped up minicons at Core class, but I...

I've also been holding my breath for Hasbro 6" RGB. Maybe they'll announce another movie soon...

I read somewhere that it's probably a licensing stipulation that they have to come in multipacks, which would be a shame.

If the two torso Constructicons are a Commander size, I'll assume they'll be coming with most if not all of the combiner parts? Head, chest plate & probably rifle. Maybe the forearms & hands? I don't expect deluxes to have the budget to include those, but the legs as voyagers may include the...
