Haven't gotten to watching much Halloween stuff yet, but Youtube recommended this version of The Hearse Song, which feels very appropriate:

It's kinda interesting that Megatron incorporates Devastator's Vortex Grinder into his own reborn form, after reviving Long Haul's head, after Scrapmetal sacrificed himself to rebuild Megatron the first time. This works too well...

A fine way to start October! A totally different aesthetic from Metalhead, but my childhood Turtles were a mix of different themes so this feels kinda appropriate, heh. Now that I'm apparently falling down this rabbit hole I've been looking up what toys I had as a kid, but it's kinda...

Spooky scary sauropod skeleton because I'm trying to wrap my brain around how the hell Sludge's legs work. His thighs are lies.

Finally, a Tarn toy that actually transforms! (Time to make sure I actually cancelled that Super 7 one.) Dinobots look terrible, but they combine. 🤷‍♂️ Will we ever get G2 repaints? Feels like we've gotten eleventy millions versions of Grimlock and co. yet they're always grey. Mix-and-match...

JoyToys are pretty neat. Might want to check out ShowZ or (if you're in America) USA Gundam Store, since they seem to have the best prices on them. A bit disappointed that the Chaos Marine I picked only came with one weapon (with a pre-posed ammo belt on top of it), but it turns out he can...

Just once I'd like a Star Wars series to go without any major canon conflicts. Just once. I'd even settle for minor canon conflicts, like using the wrong button to activate a lightsaber. (I mean chances are this'll be addressed, and we may even get a satisfying answer, but still)

N.E.S.T. mine sweeper N.E.S.T. landmine There's story potential here, I know it.

Reissue Jetwing OP is fantastic with how insane the aftermarket prices are, though I don't suppose Hasbro would've fixed the knees and grill to be less breakage-prone? I've been hoping for Studio Series repaints, but all-grey Bonecrusher and Ratchet aren't terribly exciting.

Well at least it's not Tatooine and babysitting...

Unexpected birthday gift: Metalhead! And because I put thought into how a toy could work the controls: Despite being a big fan of the series, this is my first TMNT in ages -- last was a Mouser multipack like a decade ago, and before that, actual Turtles... jeez the 90s? This might be...

Classic Cadillac Arcee! Stealth Bomber Soundwave! Osprey Megatron! Nice to get alt modes that are... I dunno, fresh? Clever? Unobvious? Whatever the case it feels different from what we've been getting for a while now and I rather like it. Also every time I think I've gotten used to Optimus's...

We have a T. rex! Two, actually. So Rexy is quite big. I mean she's supposed to be, but still such a huge gap between her and anything else in the HC line. Also I have no idea what the intended effect with the eyes is supposed to be, but they look like lifeless black doll eyes at basically...

JEDI DOOKU and Yaddle! And also Ahsoka, who's neat but already in everything already. Although I think this might be the first on-screen depiction of a "normal" Jedi recruitment, yeah?

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back! Feels like forever ago I sold off Regular Ratchet for PF Ratchet, so glad the Autobots have their doctor again.

Let the Galaxy burn! Displeased with McFarlane's versions, I decided to dip my toe into Joy Toy. First impression: oh, they're huge: I mean they're Space Marines, they're supposed to be big lads, but seeing them dwarf Lord Vader was quite a surprise. Mr. Havoc's claw's got some articulation...

Fall of Cybertron turns 10 today, so here's what was once considered a small Deluxe and a not-Lego custom based on my multiplayer bot.
