This does seem more likely to me. Has this issue been reported for any toys besides Nacelle? I haven't heard of any; and I'd be surprised that Nacelle would be the only toy made at a certain production factory (but I may well be wrong, I dunno how things are set up). If it was mold in the...

Not sure that's really accurate... we just had a blockbuster summer movie that was mostly Beast Wars guys and new characters (with some name re-use), the only '84 guys are Optimus and arguably Bumblebee. The next line of toys (United) doesn't have a single G1 guy in it, much less '84. So one...

I found this to be a solid, if not spectacular, start. The art is absolutely amazing, very kinetic and colorful. Even the panel that's just Optimus and Ratchet driving in vehicle mode looks awesome. My only complaint visually is probably the scratchy font they chose, kinda hard to read. As for...

I generally don't care for the Animated aesthetic but that Optimus looks pretty cool.

So it's definitely gonna be Sky-Byte and Armada Prime right? I haven't even opened the latter yet and was tempted to cast my vote for him. Maybe Nemesis will get a good chunk of votes but I can't see her winning.

Zero interest, but he does look spiffy. Especially like the lightning rod remold. I wonder if the final toy will have shoulders in black (as in the toy pics) or green (as in the packaging pics).

This sorta thing seems like it might be up Nevermore's alley but it's about a comic and not a toy/packaging so not sure it belonged in his variant thread. I've noticed there seem to be two different variations of Transformers #80 floating around: one that has a normal bar code in the lower...

What're its problems? Just curious since I don't have a copy of the mold yet - been holding out for a G1 Skyquake (or something off that mold like MW Starscream or King Atlas).

So the top one is a toy-deco version of a toy-style mold, while the second is a cartoon deco of a toy-style mold? Right after they announced a toy-deco version of a cartoon-style mold? (MP-44S) Is it possible to go deeper?

Not too much tempting me here. Javelin looks great and is a really good design. If she was by herself she'd probably be a buy, but not worth it for Kaskade too, which I'm not a fan of the mold. I also don't remember the character at all, despite reading all the comics (and only remember Javelin...

Same two in my collection as well (plus Classics with the FansProject armor, but that's going back aways), and my initial reaction was "man, do I need another Ultra Magnus?) But, it is tempting. I'm not too upset at losing the white inner robot, and I really like the beefiness of the...

I wasn't familiar with the Thunder Machine before, but that's actually pretty cool. I think it definitely helps that it already shares a major color (dark blue) with Soundwave, so it doesn't have the same "Transformer wearing pieces of the vehicle as armor" look that Bumblebee and Megatron both...

Boy that's an awful lot of red and white on the Autobot side... Good to see they're sticking with small casts of about 5 bots per side, though, at least to begin with. I always feel like that's the sweet spot for starting out a team book/show.

Which isn't as good as it sounds, unfortunately, because 1) inflation (quick google tells me roughly 20% from Dec 2018 to now) and 2) difference in budget (Bumblebee had a budget of ~$135M, ROTB had a budget of $200M). Not good to make 80% as much but cost 1.5x. It's no bomb, but I think it...

Finally got around to seeing this (had left on vacation the day it came out). And I found it to be just exceedingly... meh? Tepid? There's nothing bad about it (except in the sense that being boring can be worse than 'bad'), but not much memorably good either. A lot of scenes that felt like they...

Not a lot that grabs me out of this bunch; my thoughts mostly echo Phazer's. The only one I like the look of is Dreadwing and even then I'd rather have a Skyquake, King Atlas or MW Starscream. I want to like that Optimus but the cab pieces adding so much red to the legs really throws it off for...

I'm definitely a bit surprised the "secretly relaunch TF in Void Rivals" thing turned out to be true, but makes for a cute gimmick, even if it did cost me $4. The comic (Void Rivals #1) itself is okay, a bit decompressed for my liking. It does need some space to allow the artwork to really...

Not wild about JP12 but Dilophocon is gorgeous. I agree with CoffeeHorse that it really does echo the BW-era design cues.

The tweet doesn't even specify what "it" is. Could be a TV show or something. But, definitely within the realm of possibility. As you say, if there's gonna be military guys in a TF movie, why not make them Joes? (I still want a Fast and Furious/Transformers crossover movie first though)

Got notice from BBTS that Armada Prime is in stock and ready to ship. Pretty quick for a toy that was revealed only a month ago. Feels wrong to ship him while still waiting for Armada Megs but he's not expected until August...
