I don’t mind much either way since out local ads aren’t terrible but whatever attempts they have to block adblock is messing up the loadspeed and performance even when you do turn it off. Might as well keep adblock on.

god I hate the contrast between the gray and white but it actually looks like the reasonably-sized metroplex is gonna make this year. Thought the car FOB was funny at first but seeing that wall of LEDs, that’s actually a pretty clever method of triggering the lights. This one’s gonna need some...

They needed a transformers-themed restaurant and it was more recent and relevant than Maccadam’s I guess. I doubt the CCP censors were all that thorough about the background.

Not that the CCP is a fan of it but I’d wager that all of IDW’s stories revolving around “government bad, revolution good” would be a bigger sticking point. Also IDW being so deep in the shitter that they can barely sell enough comics to stay afloat, let alone even think of selling abroad.

They released the “”“samurai””” Inferno a while back so they’re still around. I remember because it was just normal G1 Inferno but they gave him funky crotch armor.

MMC was the only real shot and by their own admission basically bankrupted their IDW operation on stupid jive. Now they’re stuck being another G1 Mp company, doing repaints of their Optimus mold and trying to get sued by DC comics. Iron Factory used to do IDW but couple years ago shifted to...

I can’t stand the Fanstoys crowd. Their toys are generally mediocre and overrated but the company’s business practices are what really piss me off. The irony of saying this about gray market companies is not lost on me.

Metal singers must all be part Muppet since they all end up sounding like either Cookie Monster or post-puberty Elmo

There are people with their Blitzwing still on preorder. That thing’s preorders started in 2016 and only had rough 3D renders at that time. Transbots and DX9 have since announced, released and reissued their MP Blitzwings for the Hasui style. FT released new renders and a price bump in 2020...

No chance. FT price gouges like a muther and that other company with the similarly sized Metroplex charged $1500 but that thing actually looks to be on track to release next year.

I dunno, it’s not wise per se since they essentially have no track record aside from maybe their shoddy Omega Supreme, but Devastator is essentially just six smaller toys. It’s the zealots who think they’re actually making Fort Max that get me. Even if it does get made, this is the company that...

I just think their designer is a hack who skates by because they do characters nobody else is doing at the MP scale where people have more money than sense. I still don’t know how they’re still around after their absolutely horrid monsterbots and diaper-wearing Ginrai with no thighs.

Don't be silly. The windows aren't cel-shaded.

how do you make Overload even uglier than the original? Armada Overload wasn't exactly a looker but everything about him exuded no-thrills walking high-caliber weapon. This guy has a large torso and small limbs, evoking someone like Bulkhead more.

His altmodes suck and all but the real question is: why is Megatron's crotch so enormous? Also lol at Starscream's Lego mace

I find it awkward about the toy is that they designed a way to hide the face that’s only visible when the tank is flipped over when his shoulders and thighs are in full view. his facial expression’s weird too.

Big Prime sounds likely if they continue the naming convention but it kinda gives off second-rate Soundcloud rapper vibes.

Yeah, parodies can happen with the permissions of the rights holder. The point is in most other places, you wouldn’t even need permission at all. That’s how strict their laws are and why Takara would be very careful around them. For fandom works, as I understand, they are technically against...

They're very strict about copyright to the point where unauthorized uses have to be mosaiced out or otherwise censored for broadcast. This goes even for things that are clearly parodies, as those aren't covered as fair use there unlike in most other countries. It’s not often enforced but it...
