I still think he's a great Ultra Magnus. He's definitely interesting in that he's specifically a representation of a different UM than the standard G1 version, which makes him pretty unique.

Saw it over the weekend. I thought it was great. I'm not a big comic person, but I'm embedded far enough into nerd culture to get 95% of the references. Spoiler-free quick opinion is that is a super fun buddy-cop type comedy action movie. Not a ton of plot, but that didn't bother me at all...

So it would appear to be a totally original mold, just taking inspiration from the SS toy. It's a surprising way to go, but I'd be curious to see it.

Interesting that they start with the same robot mode, but give him a very different alt-mode.

I really do miss those days. By far my favourites were the ones that started off with an official mold, but went absolutely wild with remolding and color schemes.

Maybe it's more the opposite, it's not that he was corrupted by a Dark Energon sort of substance, but rather as his own actions/thoughts become darker, they start to corrupt the energy that's inside of him, creating a visible effect. Pretty much just a cinematic effect to show that he's become...

I do think that the RotB Optimus actually works really well as a G1 Nemesis Prime. Like, it's clearly Optimus, but much more Mad-Max'd out.

Yeah, I think 3rd Party is a good descriptor for things like FansToys or Dr. Wu and the like. Fully original toys that infringe on IP. I had heard the term 4th Party a couple of times, and always assumed that it was meant to be a clever name for KO's of 3rd Party figures, but it would appear...

Ironfist vs. Carnivac makes me very happy. Animated Wasp is icing on that cake.

No, smaller city and all that, so no 3D printers, unfortunately.

Anyone have any recommendations for a decent resin 3D printer? Something good enough to make a presentable TF head, but not a multi-thousand dollar machine? I'm an engineer by trade, so I 3D model in Solidworks all day and I've always been interested in having a printer, but never looked into...

Pff. That's nothing. Walmart is bad at physical commerce, too, and humanity has been doing that for thousands of years.

*nods head in approval* As God intended.

*knocks on door* "Are you RIRFIB'ing in there?!" "NO!! Don't come in!!"

had leftover taco-salad-bowl forms:

Completely unfamiliar with anything about Reverse Convoy other than knowing about the toy, but it seems backwards in execution. Like, he's a tank. It's clearly Megatron wearing a Ben Cooper Optimus Prime mask and after he blue himself. A more convincing disguise would have seen Megatron...

How dare you question the Historical Documents!

Now THAT makes sense. That's probably why we keep sending robots there. To mine for "peanuts."

Then where do you propose that those little red peanuts come from? Do you think Planter's is making that up?
