Eh, they just took the idea from the Challenge of the Gobots episode "Et Tu, CyKill?". Or possibly Revenge of the Sith.

So, as I mentioned in the Anime thread, Haywire3 has been watching a lot of classic anime with me, and one of his particular favorites is Tetsujin 28 (aka Gigantor): So I got to thinking, now would be a great time to make a Tetsujin costume. Haywire3 could dress up as Shotaro Kaneda, and it...

I would prefer a Reverse Convoy, but I agree with the sentiment. G2 Megatron's look is more than just throwing a green and purple deco on any tankbot.

Lost In Space, on the other hand, was a factual documentary disguised as weekly entertainment program...

I think the yellow triangle thingy goes to the Titans Return Repugnus Titan Master?

Yeah, especially when a lot of the molds they use were the cheap off-brand toys that were sold as alternates to GI Joe vehicles. That said, if they ever re-engineered the Processed Plastics Huey Cobra-like helicopter for 3-3/4 figures, I'd probably bite the bullet and buy at least one. Lots of...

Crashbar (the figure Road Pig is retooled from) is pretty fun. The transformation is pretty intuitive, and he's got a lot of options for weapons.

Not to mention they made Cyclonus and Starscream torsos that were just begging for troop-building limb minions. Now, if we'd gotten a torso bot based on G2 Dreadwing/ATB Megatron/BB/Gigant Bomb with matching Seeker limbs, that would be awesome!

Weren't the Scramble City limbs still in stores at that point? Those would be around the right size for Fort Max, wouldn't they?

I would actually buy all of those! Need more CW minions!

I stopped at Gen 3, because a DS was just getting too expensive to justify, and getting 2 to trade between games was out of the question at the time. As it was, the screen broke on my second GBA, and I had to set trades up on my working one and then do them based on sound and matching key...

They were better before they won the Franchise Wars...

On the one hand, I agree that the 40th anniversary, SS86 version of the brand's main bad guy SHOULD be a new mold. On the other hand, Hasbro and Takara's repeated reusage of the Siege mold seems to indicate that someone in a position to make the decisions considers it to be the definitive...

Along a similar vein...

10 years is impressive, for sure. My first Pokémon game was Pokémon Red Version, played on a Gameboy pocket, but when I got Blue (and later Yellow), I picked up a second-hand original Gameboy (with the pea-green screen) to trade between cartridges, so I can honestly say I played my first...

I picked up a second Detritus for a potential Ironfist custom, but I may just do my own Jungle Shadow instead. Have to find a suitable Targetmaster partner, though. (It might break the rules, but with all the RotB figures going on clearance, it may get a Beast Targetmaster...)(...or, wait and...

Not sure I want to pony up for any of the Botcon sets, but I am very interested if the Light Points targetmaster figures are going to become an ongoing thing!

FWIW, I didn't know the Simpsons reference, and I still recognized that the post was a joke, based on who was posting it and the opinions they've voiced in the past. We may not always know each other IRL, but it's not like we're entirely strangers here.

That's a great line-up! Makes me regret not getting Steam Robo and Buggy Robo.
