Yeah, the cartoon definitely had a much better looking trailer mode. Some very odd decisions all the way around the this design. Also, before clicking your link, I never knew that Ginrai was drawn 100% accurate to the toy, with the real truck front on his back and the fake truck torso being a...

I can't say I'm crazy about this one. Standard robot mode / cab is pretty nice, but I have some quibbles with the trailer. It's too far back in trailer mode, and the proportions are a little off in robot mode. I have no knowledge of cartoon Ginrai, so these opinions are 100% based on my...

I will definitely give the Siege mold credit for going from standard Seeker robot mode to a 90% accurate Tetrajet. It's an A-, but it's still in the A tier. Part of me would love to see an even more refined version of that idea, but another part of me realizes that it'd be extremely hard to...

I'm expecting my Wheeljack today. These things are beautiful nonsense and I love them. Honestly, I was a little disappointed that Siege wasn't a line made up 100% of this sort of figure. There weren't that many established Cybertronian modes, but I would have loved a whole line of toys made...

I halfway wonder if this sample is missing one paint operation? Like, if you had the white border around the faded flames, it'd be pretty close?

was tied up all day, so I missed Pulse which is my usual go-to. Luckily I was still able to get one ordered on BBTS

There's a theater in a better town about 45 minutes from here that gets a lot of these events. I'll have to see if they are showing it.

Ooh! Make this a new iteration of Megaplex. His normal form is a Seeker, but he can also transform into a Megatron body double when needed.

I kind of wish the real G2 "tank front chest" style transformation had stuck around. That's a great look. You lose the iconic arm cannon, but you could always make it detach and connect to the arm as an option.

But a really bad one. Very "how do you do, fellow kids" sort of vibe.

Detritus needed to be a little less flesh tone. At least as far as I can tell from pics on the Wiki (wik-piks, as I like to call them) it's accurate to the original toy, but a deeper brown and army khaki would have been a lot more pleasant of a look.

There's already been the one that came with the Centurion pack and the one that was part of Core Class Megs. They could use either of those.

Yeah, that would 100% be my preference. It seems like an obvious solution that has somehow never been attempted. And being a new, never-before-used alt mode for Megatron, it would be a pretty interesting new development that may spur some people to buy that otherwise might be fine with the...

Yeah, SS86 Megatron is definitely the most "just curious to see what they do here" upcoming figure. I'm guessing it's just going to be the most cartoon-accurate robot mode they can do that transforms into a tank that looks like it's made out of gun parts. I'm just hoping they get the head...

I don't know. It's sound like resistance is pretty damn far from futile at this point.

From the front page: 20th Anniversary 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime? I still have extremely fond memories of buying the original Masterpiece / 20th Anniversary Optimus. It's still among my favorites. Hard to believe it's been 20 years ago already. Definitely color me interested.

Yeah, but that's a pretty low bar to clear.

Very curious to see how this turns out. I'd love a good Powermaster Prime toy, as that was "my" Optimus growing up. Don't know if I'd buy a Masterpiece version or not, as I'd really prefer something more toy-like from the main line instead of a fiddly display piece.

They really nailed the heavy-browed, caveman face from the cartoon. Super excited to get him. The Dinobots are especially my jam.
