Oh, hey, Omega Prime actually inspired MMC off their butts to make a Ruination repaint of their MP Bruticus. I skipped that thing entirely because I didn't like the clusterhug MP was turning into and they're way too big next to Generations guys. Going with the absolute unit that is Haslab Omega...

The designer really wanted the car carrier to be able to car carry. That plus having to become a powerup resulted in a mess of a robot mode. Even the animation model couldn’t salvage it.

Backed Omega Prime. Previous Haslabs I backed were through a reseller on this side of the world since we don’t get to back them directly in this country. Closest thing would be Hong Kong or Taiwan but I don’t have relatives there any more. The retailers had around $50 upcharge for the Victory...

Hasbro can keep using that one shade of gray plastic they like so much if they stop using the terrible mustard-y “gold” plastic.

Skipped Unicron because of the terrible kibble and price:value ratio. I also preferred the 3P unicron’s execution. Don’t really care about Deathy and Victory Saber but I don’t dislike them, they weren’t too expensive and i could always resell later so I backed them. Kind of the same with this...

They have infinite points of articulation and can transform from folded undies to unfolded undies in 3-4 steps. optional stege “battle damage” to be applied by owner

I agree that they did nothing wrong. They just did even less right.

Figured out the logistics of getting this thing into my hands, as ordering through a third party retailer this time around was prohibitively expensive. Previous Haslabs had markups, sure, but I saw it as a sort of tax to not have to bug my stateside relatives to receive it and then somehow get...

Pack in comics/manga never happened. Convention/Club Exclusive fiction only matter as a way to explain that year's smattering of unrelated repaints. Toy/comic bios mean nothing if all the character does is be crowdfiller. Robots that don't transform and/or combine are a waste of time, ergo...

Cannonball is neat. Ferak's a nobody, so I'll pass. Filch's base mold isn't all that good and is fragile. Lockdown doesn't fit very well. I pictured him as more of a sleek, streamlined type of bounty hunter who does his job stylishly and the mold's a bit too clunky-looking for that image

Was reading some old capeshit comics and realized that I was subconsciously giving Red Hulk senator Armstrong’s voice and now I want to ser that as a real thing.

Wouldn’t be very helpful. We’d have no idea if it were like that to begin with versus rough play or something breaking in the intervening 30+ years. Even then all it would prove is that at least one Blaster had jacked up tape door.

Yes it was like that on the cartoon but it’s clearly meant to represent the sticker on the toy meant to look like a cassette. It’s dumb but I get it, Blaster has to take any differences from Kingdom he can because there barely are any.

A solid blue tape guy is kind of a draw but damn the chest door is tacky. Even a solid allspark blue window would be preferable to having a fake cassette drawn onto it.

Sandstorm, Buzzsaw and gray Cheetor took forever to disappear

I don’t live in Burgerland but they’re somewhat available here. Hobby stores will put up preorders but they’re limited in quantity. General retail might get some but only the larger stores, very inconsistently and in even more limited quantities.

It’ll depend on how they’re priced/distributed for me. They’re all neat but nothing mind-blowing. Definitely skipping Filch though. That mold’s been nothing but a headache to me

I guess they wanted to avoid confusion with the Starscream repaints?

Titan of course. Looks like the cockpit's missing a clear part or something. Needs at least attempts at the gimmickry the original had because Cybertron Starscream is pretty ugly.

This is the second one actually.
