  1. The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

    The "black" helmet also appears in the comic itself. In fact, it remains a mainstay of Marvel US Megatron's look from the first issue until the end of the series, by which point improved printing techniques allow for a more diverse color palette, and thus the helmet is now often rendered dark...
  2. The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

    Another one that's only tangentially related to the toys - I promise there's another genuine toy oddity coming up soon. Anyway. Megatron's Marvel comic designs - the black helmet, and especially the gold upper body in his early UK appearances. Early concept designs for the Takara Micro...
  3. 2022 Celebrity Death Thread

    Rest in peace, Mikhail Sergeyevich. While I don't agree with every decision he made, he was wise enough to understand that he shouldn't be standing in the way of history, and instead opened the doors wide. Germany wouldn't be what it is today were it not for him.
  4. Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    Hey, for the sake of record-keeping, can someone give me the individual Hasbro product code numbers for all six Buzzworthy Bumblebee 1-Step Changers Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Shockwave and Sky-Byte? They It should be located above or below the barcode and start with the letter "F", followed by four...
  5. Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    These don't look any different than the wave 1 1-Steps, aside maybe from the angle the toys are packaged at: Also, looks like these have already been found at retail: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/product-number-for-buzzworthy-bumblebee-1-step-changers-ast.1226721/page-4#post-20565920
  6. The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

    Regarding the "Sparkler mini-bots" and "Jawbreaker": Sabrblade is at BotCon right now, and was able to ask Furman about those outdated names. From what Furman recalls, he was indeed working off the model sheets. EDIT: Regarding the name change for Overbite/Jawbreaker/Overbite, Bob Budiansky...

  9. The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Cyberverse: Eigen (from "eigenform", a key concept in cybernetics; also, it's originally a German word that means "own", which would make it a double pun indicating that Cyberverse is its own thing) Earthspark: Jordmael - combining the Norwegian word "Jord" for "Earth" and the name of the Mael...
  10. Question about Cog and moldmates' guns

    I don't have Red Cog yet, but my Aragon 's guns sit considerably more securely in the figure's hands than my original Cog's.
  11. The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

    Okay, so this is once again only tangentially related, but since it was included with a toy catalog, I'm counting it. So back in 1985, when the European division of newly-acquired Hasbro subsidiary Milton Bradley handled distribution of Transformers toys in Europe, they commissioned a...
  12. 2019 Ongoing IDW Comics Thread

    I just purchased a digital copy Best of the Rarities from Amazon, and discovered that the Milton Bradley mini-comic is not, in fact, an entirely new translation, but rather directly based on the fan translation from 2013 that was posted on the old, pre-haXX0red Allspark (a mirrored copy is still...

    Walmarts. Smyths seems to be getting a lot of solid cases. Here in Germany, each retail figure has its own shelf tag at Smyths, rather than "Deluxe Class" and "Voyager Class" tags.
  14. Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    Dinobot and Terrosaur. I think that's it. The only ones they officially acknowledged. https://www.allspark.com/transformers-legacy-buzzworthy-and-masterpiece-reveals/

    If anyone responsible for Jesus's death were still alive today to kill Palestinians, that'd be rather surprising.
