Yeah, I dunno if it's novelty over BW updates, genuinely more effort being put into these repaints, the robot and beast modes being much more characterful than the average vehicle bots so recolors hit differently, or what, but these Kingdom repaints are a lot more striking than usual. I'll...

Ravage was actually pretty clever given how he was already a diminutive beast Transformer. I don't see much of a point in claiming Grimlock or an entire combiner team or, god forbid, Inferno (much less "all of the above") are actually the G1 guys with those names.

Despite all the design and qc woes over Kingdom figures, I'm a sucker for repaints apparently.

Having to nearly rip a bot in half for the combiner mode is an amazing experience. Ram Horn's individual mode suffers heavily as a result, but it's totally worth it.

More Chaos! Less paint... Looted Dark Elder whatever-this-is! The usual Rhinos and Land Raiders didn't seem thematic enough. A wizard who's left hand fell off and became a familiar A Marine that's actually a puppet for some unseen cephalopod. An early idea was to make an entire squad...

Here we go! "I have a bad feeling about this" needs to be banned from Star Wars.

"I'm the real Rattrap!" "No, I am!" ("Oh great, now there are two of them.")

CYBERSHARK!!!!!! I keep looking for him, but apparently nobody has his fins anymore. Or wants an obscene amount for him.

Ah. For some reason I was thinking TF6 was the upcoming Beast Wars-y one. Entire waves dedicated to character designs that weren't meant to be seen in full (much less transform) is even worse. At least the Fallen is finally getting a toy maybe.

Finally, Studio Series gets Core Class! There are sooo many little bots I've been wai--- *four full waves and the only Movieverse bot already has a SS figure* Of course... Man I hope those TF6 bots aren't G1 reduxes, because otherwise this is gonna be a boring year.

https://neuralblender.com/ Type in words and you get.... something in return. "It was a dark and stormy night" Looks great so far! "Autobots, transform and roll out!" A bit interpretive, but ok. "A happy dog" Oh.... "You will bring joy to the nowhere king when he sees the light leave...

Autobots, roll call! (mostly trying to see where we are with the "alien"-styled Autobots)

After the Beast Wars reissues, Jolt feels insanely thin and flimsy, and the transformation into car mode was such a monumental hassle I don't think I'll ever try it again. But I like the "mad scientist" vibe Jolt's got with the kibble looking a bit like a lab coat. Almost a shame Igor's on the...

Chaos! An opportunity to go absolutely hogwild on each and every mini. Which magnified my joy of kitbashing and my disdain of painting... As you can see, I went with a space pirate theme here, because Pirates of the Caribbean and Metroid Prime were all the rage back then, and I liked the idea...

Does Cogman count? Honestly, I got bored of the Headmaster gimmick rather quickly. Everyone had it so it felt less special, most of the bots are fairly well-known characters (even the "spare" heads) so mix-and-matching seemed a little weird, and all the little head-bots looked the same. I have...

Heh. I must admit the design for the mutant mask is pretty neat, even if it's rather obtrusive.

Bless whoever's responsible for Quackles.
