$80 struck me as a bit high at first too, but I think the extra accessories/parts, as well as the exclusiveness, make the price make sense. And that axe, that glorious axe.

Especially given the explosion in popularity of anime over here in the US. I would think they could still make the younger audience-aimed cartoons in the West and then design a join US-Japan anime designed for adults that, if done well, could probably be really popular in the US (thinking...

#30: The Transformers #50 - "Dark Star" José Delbo, Danny Bulanadi Delbo predicts Stege Starscream three decades in advance! Like #41, I can tell he went above and beyond for this one, fitting in quite a lot of detailing to make Underbase-powered Starscream look suitably impressive (compare...

And here I was worried he might be too small :ROFLMAO:

Looks pretty great to me, I think the backpack won't be a big issue. Not a fan of the windows but that's the only real negative. And I really like how the repair pod can attach to Roller. I still never got the Earthrise one (even after the re-release) so probably an easy buy... But my one...

#35: The Transformers #76 - "Still Life!" Andrew Wildman Great composition here, with the demonic primordial looming behind the frozen Grimlock (even has some hellfire behind him). This also might be the coolest Sludge has ever looked with the aviator sunglasses look. The Optimus corpse in...

I'm really hoping the "millions of years" thing is an error and not a retcon, as the "hundreds of years" made a lot more sense (as well as making more sense for Beachcomber's situation). Also, I know this is a comic about giant alien robots, but it's basically impossible that Beachcomber...

#40: The Transformers #74 - "The Void!" Andrew Wildman One thing that can definitely be appreciated with Wildman is that there's always going to be an attention to detail, and here it can be seen in all the little ways Optimus and Scorponok are being damaged (Scorponok's antennae is an...

Eeek yeah sorry fell way behind. I'll put up some more today and then should be relatively quick the closer to the end we get.

Yeah, decent attempt, but like Road Rocket I think it's just off enough it'll be a pass for me (though like you it's decent enough to be tempting if I see in person at retail). I do appreciate that they did the pipes in transparent pink to homage the original laser rod functionality. But yeah...

I don't think I'll ever cease to be amused over the Circular Reporting type mistakes. Though you really would think something like a toy deco would have enough time for more research (as opposed to say a comic book colorist rushing to figure out how to color Relatively Obscure Character #28). I...

Yeah I was kinda shocked this is getting released on consoles and isn't a mobile game. The (lack of) animation on the robot mode portions is staggeringly stiff and unfinished. Looks pretty trash TBH.

Not the Chop Shop redeco concept I was expecting.

#45: Transformers: Generation 2 #9 - "Swarm" Derek Yaniger Each G2 artist drew the Swarm somewhat differently - Manny Galan tended to draw it as a dark tendril-y blob (usually grey or dark purple with black dashes), appearing quite substantially physical. Geoff Senior drew it as a more wispy...

Back from intermission. #50: The Transformers #77 - "Exodus!" Andrew Wildman Something I noticed is that Wildman was pretty good about variety in his cover compositions, as I don't think there's really a repeated motif or design layout across his covers. I admit I'm a bit of a sucker for the...

You joke but I think there's at least a decent chance this might actually be intended. I had the same thought when reading the issue...

Soundwave is just reusing the artwork from Core Soundwave, isn't it? I'll have to dig out my original, but yeah, something looks off. One thing is, like Quake, the magneta looks too reddish (which actually gives me hope that both are actually magenta in person). The lavender also looks a bit...

Wow that Xaaron/Flame pack is pretty damn good, I'm tempted. And cool of Hasbro to let a guy with a Xaaron avatar reveal them. Animated Motormaster is basically exactly what I expected. Never been a big fan of the deco TBH, but it's basically gotta copy what it is (same as the animation colors...

Yeah I'm probably splitting hairs, but I guess I was thinking of the "damaged" category as "alive but not really able to contribute" whereas we've seen a top-half-only Wheeljack be able to help out. Might be more similar to Jetfire I suppose, where he's limited. Also - is this the first time...
