    One favorite thing from each era (or line, or year) of Transformers

    Here's mine, by era: G1 - The movie. I've largely moved away from the toys, the cartoon can be hard to watch much these days, and I never liked the comics. But the movie is still just pure joy. I'm always happy to see it on. G2 - Megatron Attack! Beast Era - Megatron in the BW show. He's what...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    All good. :) And thanks for the pics. I'd remembered him being about the same size as SFC, and that looks pretty consistent. Just double checked the scale charts, and looks like he was intended to sit right between SFC and GFC. So a little bit oversized in that final battle, but not by much...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    Please actually read what I say rather than just lumping me in with your pet peeves. I never said he was lazy, or never went into battle. He absolutely did stay in his command center often, but that's not what I was referring to. I said he rarely directly interacted with other bots, instead...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    I certainly won't be surprised. And even without this Omega Prime, I'll be much more likely to get a nice, big Mega/Galva/Gigatron. He'll match up nicely with the original Omega. I still lean toward thinking Commander would be a better spot for him than HasLab. Like Sabrblade pointed out, he's...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    Not arguing otherwise. I know Megatron spent most of his time up on his dais with no one directly next to him, or flying up in the sky with no one nearby. And RiD relied heavily on stock attack animations followed by cuts to the target getting hit. But he did occasionally stand next to others...

    Who should be Commander Class

    I'd really like to see a lot more Commanders. My initial list: Maybe other combiner bodies like Motormaster. I think Onslaught and Hot Spot could pull it off. Not as sure about the others. Omega Supreme, assuming we eventually get a Devastator at the same size as other combiners. Broadside...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    So after a day to think about, I think I can articulate my thoughts a bit better. As a standalone piece, I think this new Omega Prime is great. He looks like he'll be a fantastic figure, and would be a great centerpiece. My issue is, I don't want a centerpiece. I like to group my figures into...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    I'm more on the disappointed side. I have the original, so I'm very aware of his shortcomings. This one looks better, and sounds like they've really focused on fixing all the issues that aren't immediately visible. And I do like the new Blue Bolts. So, nice update, and I'm sure he'll be a great...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    My bet has been on Primus since we first heard tidbits about a 40th anniversary HasLab. Outside of maybe Optimus and Megatron, how many things better tie into all versions of Transformers than Cybertron itself? Makes perfect sense to bring a giant transforming Cybertron as a companion to HasLab...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I just got an e-mail from Pulse this morning saying my pre-order for Bombshell has been canceled. Coming so soon after having Nacelle get canceled, I'm more than a little irritated. I'm aware of the issues with Nacelle, so I can understand that one at least. I haven't seen anyone talking about...

    Hasbro PulseCon 2023, Hosted by Dan Larson & Thew Adams

    I don't know that the situation's truly comparable. True, he was revealed during the brand's 35th anniversary. However, I don't recall him being advertised as an anniversary item, can't find any references to him in conjunction with the anniversary, and he wouldn't have made all that much sense...

    Hasbro PulseCon 2023, Hosted by Dan Larson & Thew Adams

    True, but I think the expectation (or at least my expectation anyway) was for the next HasLab to be something released for the 40th anniversary, not something to be revealed during the anniversary to come out a year later. Launching a campaign next year works ok, but doing so means the...

    Hasbro PulseCon 2023, Hosted by Dan Larson & Thew Adams

    I'm hoping the HasLab will be either Primus or SS86 Devastator. I'd love to see Primus have a bunch of alternate parts as stretch goals. E.g. either a G1 head or a Cybertron head. Alternate planet surface plates to give it a G1 look with openings to lower levels, a Cybertron look with all the...

    Hyrule Town Square

    I actually managed to get a collector's edition pre-order in last night! ...but it was at Walmart, so I have 0 confidence it will actually be fulfilled.

    Studio Series discussion

    These are all fine, but Megatron's what I'm really looking forward to. I love the old WfC figure, but it would be great to get that design at a bigger size, and with his mace. A better Shockwave and FoC Megatron would be great too. Back on the subject of normal Studio Series, I just dug into my...

    HasLab Victory Saber

    I don't think there are any stickers I would ever be really happy with, especially for wrapping over the top surface of the wing. So in my eyes, the only options were bad stickers, or no stickers.

    Holy crap! This just came in an e-mail to backers.

    HasLab Victory Saber

    He'd better! I would be devastated if anything happened to all my stuff while it's in storage. I'll definitely blame him for not protecting it. I really am struggling with what to take to storage or not. I hate having virtually all my collections of anything and everything out of sight in a...

    HasLab Victory Saber

    Yeah, I assume it must be unpaintable plastic. It wouldn't make sense to skip just those two paint apps on a product like this for cost reasons. And I can't imagine having a custom sticker sheet just for those two apps would really help much if the goal was to save money. I also assume the...

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    I guess there must have been another couple thousand affiliate orders that didn't get added until today. Great to see he did so well. I'm really happy with how VS turned out, and I'm looking forward to Deathsaurus quite a bit more than I ever was for VS. Nice to see that he's expected to ship...
