He looks alright. To my eyes, he's a tad squat-looking, and I wish the seat was black, but otherwise just alright. I passed on Crashbar, but will put Road Pig in the "if I happen to see him while at Walmart" category.

Hey, I don't make the rules! Spike can break out of that jail cell too easily. It's elevator or nothing!

It was to lock up Spike when he was insolent!

Cool. But I'm not talking about a cheap, flimsy mess of a figure. I'm suggesting throwing the weight, budget, and engineering of the SS86 line behind a Leader (or Commander) quality figure.

Yep, seen that art before. But the crucial part of my sentence was whether it could be done well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. And while that art is certainly Megatron and Galvatron in one, I would not want a toy that looked like that.

Yeah, the TR version is a very nice-looking, well-articulated, modern super robot. But IMO, the OG Max is an excellent all-around playset. It does everything that it sets out to do, and does it extremely well. It is solid, sturdy, and most importantly, fun! I still mess around with my...

That would be pretty epic! Although, I would be concerned about how they could pull off both characters in one and do it well. Maybe at the Commander level?

I feel like the current team is capable of producing an '86 movie Megatron that is faithful to his robot mode. Personally though, I would welcome a non-transforming version. He could still be at the regular Leader pricepoint, but they could really focus on paint apps, articulation, and...

What would be cool (IMO), is if the recently-released BWVS-08 Ghost Starscream could have a stand-alone version. Don't misunderstand: I completely get why he was released with Waspinator, and I love it. But a version that included the flattened crown, maybe a tattered cape, and a pile of ash...

Good pics of that base mode! It looks cool but yeah, without any functionality / play features, it does feel a little shoehorned. Also, I do agree that Omega and Scorponok were high marks of the modern Titan era. I passed on Nemesis (and Cybertron Metroplex. I guess it has been a minute...

Nice! I was on the fence about getting Tidal Wave but ultimately, I decided to cancel my preorder. He looks good and all, but he's a character that I'm just not that invested in (especially at the Titan pricepoint). I've got the original, and I am still good with that. I'm glad that this...

I don't have The Instagrams, so I can't see.

They should have done some smoke plume effects if they were going to take the "after" photos. Just sayin.

So, the Target Dead Brawn and Ratchet set is up for preorder, for those interested: https://www.target.com/p/transformers-movie-studio-series-brawn-and-autobot-ratchet-action-figure-set-2pk/-/A-90011235#lnk=sametab I missed out on it through Pulse, but was still able to get free shipping.

"We got a great big Convoy, rockin' through the night!"

Mine is arriving today but I'll need to wait until the weekend to engage with it. Disappointing news, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

So, there's quite a discussion going on at TFW2005 about a potentially definitely leaked photo of SS86 Optimus Prime playing the piano. Good stuff.

Yep, Classics Mirage was a very cool rendition of the character. The update(s) that we got are cool and all, and I really like the transparent blue "invisible" version a lot. However, it is not as lithe and nimble-looking as that Classics Mirage.

Classics Prime will always have a place in my heart; I still love that toy and deco to this day. Interestingly - and despite getting both Generations and SS86 Kup - there is still a place in my heart that is reserved for Classics Kup ;)

Still too much, lol 😎
