I like Vector Prime well enough as a new release of the Cybertron character. As a presumable preview of what to expect of the original 13 being the focus of the line the next couple years, he's a bit underwhelming. It suggests the 13 are just going to be normal Transformers, with nothing special...
Seems that MPM-15 will be announced Friday. I'm assuming Brawl. If so, really hope he comes with Frenzy to complete the cast from the first movie.

I expect that they're regular transformers, and this year's Vector Prime will be a preview of what we can expect from the rest of the range. I.e., similar to how CW Buzzsaw featured TR gimmickry, Vector Prime should give us an idea if there will be any patterns to expect from the remaining 12...
They really don't necessarily need to stick to TFTM for any accessories they include. E.g. Hot Rod came with his toy's guns, Starscream came with Megatron's chair from MtMtE Part 1, and Swoop is coming with swords for him and Grimlock.
With those as precedents, they could certainly include a...
ER Optimus is a really good toy. Good enough that I'm not at all taking it for granted that SS86 will be any better. I'm sure it will have a bigger trailer if that's something you care about. But for the figure itself, if ER Op didn't have those extra bits on the legs from the carryover Siege...
Just the opposite for me. I love the N64, but I always wished the PS1 would have stuck more with 2D stuff. The 3D graphics just weren't good. Games like FF8-9 could justify it by being just way too big to ever work on the N64, but it's largely games like SotN and MMX4-6 that I associate with the...
I like this Swoop, but I'm still not crazy about the weapon situation. So we have to get comic Grimlock to get swords for all of them, Snarl's sword won't match the rest, and Snarl still doesn't get his gun. I think I'm going to just skip all that and hope there's some 3P set that gives them all...
I'll definitely be getting one. I'd love to get 4, or maybe even 5, but money and space are just too tight. Not sure if I'll default to displaying him as Leo or with the unique head. I'll probably headcannon him as a mimic who carries around all the weapons, but copies the style of the...
The back is pretty simple - just a black expanded PVC foam sheet. Not very exciting, but the storage rack I found on clearance has a nice finished look and is all black, so I decided to just have the back match the rest of the rack.
I like the idea, but I think the problem I'd run into is that...
I'm interested in finally getting a G1 Shockwave. One of the reasons I've always been reluctant is just how big he is compared to the other main bots I'd have him with. I don't suppose anyone ever made an undersized KO that would be closer to Megatron or Soundwave's height?
I'm building a new display case as part of a basement remodel. It's largely intended to finally have a good display space for Unicron, so it's pretty big - 4' wide and 2' deep. Unicron's going to dominate the upper half of it. For the lower half, I want to set up a display of my Decepticon army...
Still feels kinda weird not backing a TF HasLab, especially right when I'm finally setting up a place where I can properly display them. But he's just too big. There's no place I could add him to any part of my collection where he would fit in, and I have no interest in him as a standalone...
My favorite scenes:
G1 - The fight between Optimus and Megatron in Heavy Metal War.
TFTM - So many scenes. Such heroic nonsense. The Optimus/Megatron fight. The reformatting. The coronation. Unicron's transformation. Arise, Rodimus Prime.
BW - Megatron rising from the lava in his new dragon...
First look at two of the Amazon packs:

Barrage and Chop Shop look great. Definitely more retooling than Ransack got. I really hope Venom turns out as well. An extra battle master is kinda neat.
Did we know about Prime Breakdown from...
I'm kinda surprised just how much I'm looking forward to the 13. I've never been in love with the concept, but I've liked it well enough. But seeing that they'll apparently all be coming within the next few years, I'm really looking forward to them.
I'm certainly not expecting it, but I'd...
According to the wiki, I got married right after Armada premiered. I was back home in Michigan for a few days, so I definitely wouldn't have been able to watch it live. There was no On Demand back then, so I'm curious now how I managed to watch it. Probably caught it on a rerun, I'm guessing...
