Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'm actually not normally a big proponent of electronics in toys, but it'd be kind of cool if the K.I.T.T. had the scanning red light on the front.

There are still several I'd like to see, too. I have to assume that, realistically, they're going to stick (mostly) to current properties, so as much as I'd love to see full on official collaborations of Dino Riders or M.A.S.K., these aren't likely happening. I'd love to see Star Trek...

I can't unsee it, and now NEITHER CAN YOU!!

Yeah, at $60 it was a no brainer. I would have spent $50 to buy Cliffjumper and Squeezeplay no matter what, so for an extra $10 I get two additional "don't mind having" toys.

You obey the letter of the law, if not the spirit.

If you have a Target account, they have $20 off of a toy order over $75, which drops the total price for the set down to $60. For that, I had to buy. I wanted the Cliffjumper and Squeezeplay, didn't mind having the Tarantulus, and am not mad about getting more-or-less a free second Tarn.

Saw someone elsewhere come up with the best name for using it as a new "5th turtle" character. Vincent (Van-Go!) It's perfectly terrible in just the right ways. One criticism on the toy itself: I do wish that the front of the van didn't parts-form off to make a shield.

Honestly shocked that you're not already!

Was never really into the turtles, but this does look good enough to still be tempting.

I'm wanting the squirrel version, myself. We've befriended numerous squirrels in our backyard starting during the covid lockdown, so we've become a crazy squirrel household.

It's definitely an original mold, but it does borrow a lot from Turbo.

It'd be way too small for Robo Force. Those guys were pretty big. Buddy-L had their own line of transforming robots called Robotron. Realizing now, though, that even they were too big to fit in with the canopy closed. Pictures from The-liberator.net:

Bought a vintage Buddy-L Robot Rider the other day. It doesn't work anymore, but it's still a fun way for the Micromasters to get to work. Frenzy is my co-pilot The old advertising for the thing said it would work with Transformers or Gobots, but the compartments are sadly too small for...

Now with double the Kup!

I could even buy that as standard issue ghosts (not the forced-into-public-service type that are otherwise seen in the original film) they slowly age over the course of their 100 year haunting before moving on in pure spirit form to the actual afterlife.

Definitely agreed. The Bay movie designs were way too busy. The BB movie did a bit better with scaling that back a bit and using larger chunks of alt mode in the robots, but kept it similar enough to the Bay movies to make them visually cohesive. I'm a big fan of keeping the designs simpler...

Faces have always been tricky in live action. The cartoon and comics can just draw the faces as though they were flexible metallic skin, but that doesn't translate well to live action? (maybe it would? I'd be curious to see.) So they went the route of lots of overlapping metal plates so that...

I really wouldn't be opposed to wildly different looking transformers as Cannonball, so long as they had the paint scheme. This go round, Cannonball was a Seeker. Last time, he was a garbage truck. Time before that, he was a motorcycle, and so on.

The full-animated Transformers One is probably the only route to go for a Transformers-centered movie. As long as humans are relatively cheap to film compared to rendering photo-realistic robots interacting with the physical world, any live-action movie is going to be mostly humans with the...
