    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    I really love this Core-Class Iguanus. I picked him up on a trip to Target recently and he has not left my desk at work since. I don't have much of a connection to the character at all, but I know a good toy when I see it. I don't care much for Tiny Hot Rod, and I feel like I have enough...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    This was a pretty decent offering overall. None of them are really must-haves for me, but I will likely pick up Road Rocket. I loved the G2 cycles and who knows - maybe they'll do a re-retool and make Road Pig? I want to like Cosmos but yikes--that saucer mode is not great; bot mode looks...

    The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

    Yes, it definitely was. It could also have been some light-sensitive color changing plastic effect, similar to what G.I. Joe used for Zartan, Zarana, etc. Would have made the whole "solar" thing make more sense.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    She looks good. I don't have any connection to her (or the other Headmaster Juniors, for that matter), so it doesn't bother me that she's not a Headmaster. I would pick this up if I saw it in the store, but it's not something that I feel the need to go out of my way to get.

    Was the "icon flip" G1 scene transition inspired by the Adam West Batman show?

    Probably. I feel like "probably" is the answer to the thread's question.

    Gobots and Machine Robo News & Discussion

    Yeah, these are right up my alley. Preordered all but the non-transforming TV dude, and I'm looking most forward to Snacky Shark and Burgerdozer.

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    I dig the A.W.E. Striker Bumblebee crossover quite a bit so I preordered. Would love to have taken advantage of my Pulse membership and preordered directly through them, but they were sold out, so I went with Amazon instead.

    Deep Questions

    Honestly, I feel like whale-sized should be the new gold standard for just about every Transformer.

    The CHUG Problem

    Interesting discussion. I've been collecting for a long, long time and I go back and forth between favoring the relative simplicity of the G1 era the most, and favoring more modern designs and engineering. Ultimately though, for me, the decision to buy or not buy a new Transformer hinges on...

    Studio Series discussion

    Takara's Legends release is still the winner, IMO. SS86 just looks like a quick Frankensteining of the two, and it shows.

    Masterpiece Thread

    He looks very nice and I'm sure that he will look great among his fellow G1 MP teammates. However, I still can't shake the feeling that Trailbreaker should have been given the MP treatment 10 years ago. Better late than never, I suppose but as Dake mentioned, he's had 3P options for years now.

    Predaking, you've got some opening to do! Unless you keep things MIB, in which case...don't.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I am glad for those that like him but this really doesn't do much for me; no connection to the toy or character whatsoever. I passed on the original 16 years ago and I'll be passing on this.

    Did you order a Mutt to go with that Junkyard? :giggle:

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    Yep, and it is / was a great toy. However, a Rattler that is scaled for 3 & 3/4 Joes that can transform into Soundwave would be awesome.

    After Bumblebee, I vote for a Soundwave Rattler.

    I actually like it quite a bit. It's not perfect, but it does look fun. Preordered.

    Oddest or most random "Holy Grails"

    I'm not so sure that I have a grail anymore. A few years ago, I was able to get a G1 Overlord on a trip to Japan, and he was kind of the one toy that I pined for for years. I still love it a lot though, and I think that it is a pretty fantastic G1 toy in general. I don't know how random...

    Junkyard, Spike, Sludge and vintage BW Tigatron looked really good. Nothing particularly earth shattering today, but it was nice to hear from the team and see some of the upcoming releases.
