Out of town on business, but at least there's a great vintage toy store a few minutes from the hotel:
Squeezeplay didn't come with his headmaster. Any know off hand if the Titans Return ones fit into G1 figures?
Never mind, looked it up and sure enough, there's a guy on Youtube showing that...
If Swoop gets to be a Dinobot, then BA gets to be an Insecticon!
Things that I will also accept as insects are:
Ticks,
Worms,
Centipedes,
Millipedes,
Bits of Lint that LOOK like bugs,
Bats.
I've always been more about collecting new figures than trying to find vintage TF's, but more and more lately I find myself drawn to the crazy Transformers-adjacent toys of the 80's/early 90's. It seems like a Wild West of poorly enforced copyright laws mixed with a surprising amount of...
I had heard of these before, but I recently ran across them again (only on the internets, sadly. I'd love to see them in real life). Few things would make me happier than to get full on repaints/remolds of the SS Dinobots done up as the Prehistory Animals. Make them evil Decepticon clones or...
Ah, nice! It looked half familiar, but I couldn't place it. And since Solus was wearing an Octopunch suit during Power of the Primes, I guess there's a Mayhem Attack Squad connection there, too. All very interesting and ripe for multiple story possibilities.
I actually don't dislike the blue and grey color scheme, but that head doesn't really suit the body. Needs maybe a head based on a Cobra B.A.T. or something?
Agreed on all counts. Everything looks great other than Prime Breakdown, who's pretty "meh." I don't have enough invested in Breakdown to be upset about it or anything, but he's definitely the least well done of the bunch. For people that were hoping for a GOOD Prime Breakdown, I could see...
That is an interesting idea. A foil for the Autobot matrix of leadership, which is passed on willingly from one leader to the next. The Decepticon "matrix power" is won by defeating and killing the current host.
Plus, it feels good to see Sunstreaker shoot random deathbot #274B3. You don't want to think about Thundercracker's robo-wife and childbots starting to worry when he doesn't come home that night.
It's just more of a "Saturday morning cartoon bad-guy" thing for the rank-and-file villains to be disposable, nameless, non-people. You're supposed to care about each and every one of the good guys.
