Some of the Machine Robo figures that didn't make it to Gobots, like Apollo Robo and Mini Cooper Robo were pretty cool and unusual, too. Also, looking at some of the unproduced designs, if they'd kept releasing those as Gobots, the line would have been wild!

Weird Association Wednesday: after reading the news about the planned RotB sequel/GI Joe crossover, I had the following thoughts: Crossover HISS Megatron as the Septic Tank: https://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/91/septictank/ Or the GI Joe Chimera (didn't realize this was a thing that existed)...

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, until all are one, then they are one and the same?

Obviously, it's an Arc Reactor.

While we're tossing out obscure vehicles, how about the cars from the Pole Position cartoon, Wheels and Roadie?

There's things that the Deluxe/Voyager/Leader size classes do really well. One of those is the potential for remolding far exceeding what is feasible at the Core/Legend/Legion scale; not saying it's impossible (Core Ironhide and Ratchet proved that, though I'm sure that was planned into the mold...

If we're talking Legacy, this is why some form of Core/Legends/Legion class should continue: How many generations of Transformers and Transformer-adjacent lines can you find represented?

1985, it seems: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-6108-turbo-teen--538613

FWIW, to me the biggest draw of the Core class was getting TF figures roughly in scale with the small Gobots figures. Granted, we've gotten more Gobots homages at Deluxe than I ever imagined we would, but I've always figured it would be easier to get Transformers that scaled with Gobots rather...

The French don't say anything, they're just rude like that...

I got my Bootlegs from Shopko! And liked it. (Also Big Lots, mayyyybe KB Toys, and once at Walmart) Sure, they were cheap, but they were fun!

I've said it before, I will say it again (over and over): Sell two or three Core-size figures at the Deluxe or Voyager price point as Versus Packs. Gives kids (or kids at heart) instant play options right out of the box, minimizes multiple size points in an increasingly competitive shelf area...

Also, they remolded the head on Ectotron when it was re-released, if Agent Knight gets a KARR redeco and reissue, and it DOESN'T have an Optimus Prime-like head, someone at Hasbro is missing the point...

Agent Knight is a must-own, and I had Sgt. Slaughter and the Triple T Tank as a kid, so that Kup is also a high-want for me. Now, we just need A-Team and Airwolf crossovers. Mr V and The Lady deserve to be Transformers, too!

The comparisons are cool, thanks for posting! I can't remember, are the Pulsecon exclusives only listed on Pulse, or do online retailers like BBTS also carry them? I would be very interested in Dinoking, but my luck with Pulse has been...varied.

Here's an odd request: anyone want to try Beast Wars Retrax with a deco based on Unicron? His rolled up mode kind of reminds me of the planet eater...

At least around here (US Midwest), the Toxitron stuff had their own price tags that said capsule on them, so I don't know that their distribution issues are due to other Transformers on shelves. That said, not every Walmart around here got them. Those that did seemed to have gotten 2-3 cases...

For what its worth, the subtitles on the Victory DVDs from several years back tended to refer to Breastforce buddies as "Chestars". (Of course, they also chose to call the Breastforce "Chestforce". If it had been me, I would have just called them the Beastforce, which would both make sense and...

Well, it looks like it has the exact same paint ops as the other version with the gray plastic, but the light blue windows are pretty jarring on the translucent version. I think it would look better with a darker metallic blue or even black for windows. The thing that surprises me is, we've...

Can you do this deco on Velocitron Override?
