    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I'm not against these toys existing, and the characters were absolutely well-used in the narrative (which I've been consistently saying I also liked). But the tradeoff inevitably is that about half the set is now no longer on theme (not counting how these characters are retroactively placed in...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    It's nice trivia, but I don't mind the Highbrow body (and may even prefer it to the Lugnut body). It's a great fit for Obsidian. I didn't mind a lot about that arc. G2 Redux and the two Machine Wars stories were okay and made use of a fun lineup of characters. But there were indeed some...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    It was definitely a strange situation (that happened to work out well narratively). Obsidian and Strika were brilliant designs well-executed, but inevitably took away from the set theme. IDK how well a box set of Prime, Megatron, Hoist, Skywarp, and Mirage would have done, alongside attendee...

    That's an entirely different request that I'd definitely support as well.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Machine Wars (the 1997 original) was such a fascinating little capsule. Entirely new lineup, name reuses in a still continuity-oriented era that more strongly called for fiction with explanations for how x character is now in y body or z state of being alive (as opposed to decades hence, when...

    Well that's a wild unbidden flashback. I remember seeing this exact packaging with strange clarity.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    The more I see of Sunstreaker the more he looks like the star of the set (well, next to Hound who kind of is by default). It's a great shade of yellow and the deco is crisp. Also looking forward to a Jazz that i won't be as nervous to transform. But in the realm of de-clear-plasticking these...

    Suspension of disbelief has nothing to do with it, for me. Not consciously, at least. I'm not really concerned about "looks like it could happen", I'm concerned about "looks good" or "fits with the rest of it". Smooth liquid metal faces wouldn't look good, especially in conjunction with...

    I have no problem with the glasses on ROTB Wheeljack. It's a neat little affectation and can add some charm. What I don't like is the way the current design style does faces. Mirage is fine, Arcee less so, Wheeljack just... Bleargh. Lots of strips of metal approximating flexible skin, and slap...

    I like the cUstoms I've seen-- of the Core figure with I think the Cybertronian Wheeljack head and the other with a Cybertron Downshift head. Colors kept as is.

    Yeah I was about to joke about just using a wall, until I realized how terrible my walls are.

    It's an entirely different design, but I half wonder if I can repurpose one of them as Daytrader or something.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I've always known OF them, but have never really had much of an attachment. Mostly it's "cool, like a bridge between bosses from Mega Man and Mega Man X" or more alien races for TF universe lore. But everything is welcome, certainly stuff that gives us such a fresh wellspring of color schemes...

    I either did not know about that or forgot about it in the flood of leaks and names and whatnot. I'll take it. Best color scheme on the mold.

    I remember being surprised that they were all of comparable height. Figured the Weaponizer would be much smaller. Tbh I'm still a bit torn about the Studio Series one... the mainline one has nicer colors and a headsculpt that downplays the weird face design a bit more. But the proportions and...

    Skipping this Cannonball, but if they make THIS I'm gonna be all over it. Pair it with the Voyager Armada Starscream in the Sam's Club colors too.

    Ah, hang on. Wasn't there supposedly going to be a Bludgeon in this capsule? Did plans change on that?
