    "So, wait, who was that? Cannonball?" "No, no, not even any relation. You're thinking of Cannonball. I 'm not sure he ever got a toy, come to think of it. Shame, too, best character in that entire run..." "Oh. I thought you were talking about Cannonball." "Never mention his name in my...

    The one weird thing about Cannonball is, if you buy into the homage joke that's been formed around him, you can dismiss any variation in one figure or another simply by claiming he's the next in line for the title. "Who, Cannonball? Yeah, he's great, lots better than Cannonball, I could NOT...

    Well, a giant robot dinosaur hopped up on a sugar rush is probably going to make anyone facing it in combat think "Guns? Oh, yeah, I remember those. They were cute..."
  4. 40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    For 'water' effects, I'd noted before that some of the Tricranius ones might work well with the ladder, I finally figured out where I left them. Not the best picture, but it gives an idea of what I was thinking for Optimus. Edit: I should note these are really unstable due to weight, I...

    Two hours, twenty four minutes to go till the end! Two hours thirty minutes till other boards are filled with "Where can I get this at retail?" for the next several weeks. Actual question: on the prior page, what is the picture of Optimus Primes small robot mode with the back open supposed to...

    But remember, according to people who claim to be an expert in such things, "It's still not G1 enough to ever fund". And on that note, WOW, 23,131 as I write this, I actually went back right before I hit 'post' to reload the page, and it had jumped to that in just the minute it took me to...

    There's nothing wrong with passing on something that you simply don't have a use for. I kept my Armada Unicron, Star Saber I had to pass on due to financial issues but a friend got me one, I did get DeathSaurus, and I was going to pass on Omega but my medical stuff got postponed and I did a lot...
  8. Forty Years of Transformers Hot Takes

    But if I don't rashly rationalize my irrational rationalizations, I get a rash... Probably psychosomatic. Also, I think Botbots should have had Rumble and Frenzy guest star as part of the 'food' teams, so Rumble could be bread and Frenzy could be stew.

    The Matrix is like cell phones. It started out huge, and now it's tiny, it's next iteration will be much bigger and require a belt clip because it won't fit in the compartment anymore.

    I am happy with the missiles/barrels announcement, and that they're 5mm pegs. Back in the day when these were new those missiles fired off at the slightest provocation, I finally wrapped their stems in a layer of tape for extra friction. While many miss firing projectiles, this one change is a...

    "LASERBEAKER! EJECT!" "No...no, the incorporation of Cybetronian technology into Muppet Labs is definitely not giving the performance boost we had hoped for..."

    That's what SHE sai-, No, no, wait, wrong meme... Out of curiosity, while not looking at super-detailed stuff, does anyone else who groups toys by whatever category, when a toy is broke or sold off, mentally 'rewrite' a bit to explain why it's not on the shelf anymore? I realize I do this just...

    If you swivel open the arm door, there's actually a mini-con compatible peg there!

    In my next to last medical messes, I sold my TFSS Thunderwing combiner that had the CW Airialbot repaints as Windsheer and Needlenose. I've not replaced them with the 'modern' ones as I don't think they have the same functionality for me overall, but I'm glad that the characters are getting a...
  15. 40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    For my own ideas, I have a few Prize Inside adapters that put together would make great barrels and then come apart to attach other accessories. I'm also considering giving Fire Prime a spare Animated Prime axe I could modify to fit, and the G1 prime rifle from the old accessory pack. In both...

    The third secret tier will be a pair of botbots that turn into a golf ball and a golf tee that merge to form Tee-er. No one will have any idea what they have to do with anything. I sure don't and I'm the one who said it. ...I need more therapy than this world will ever provide. I would love...

    Weirdly I just put one up (POTP, with Skytread and a FOC Shockwave) in my sales thread, with the usual higher start but offers open, then I saw 'Studio series'. Nuts. But for Hook, Line, and Sinker, I could see them running into issues of either name reuse with a Constructicon on the way, or...

    I don't know if I'm too early or too late and neither does anyone or anything in the picture, but it has a botbot so I will claim it's on topic. "Terribly confused by a mix of climate change and retail decorating planograms, the Groundhog finds an Easter Egg shot with Cupid's arrow while...

    I thought Throttlebots would make a great core combiner team, but whenever we get a single one it's almost always randomly thrown in with different characters and no indication that it was in any subgroup. Edit: Maybe core Throttlebots with core Cassette combiners like BeastBox, Squalktalk, or...
