I like how each member has a signature weapon of sorts but the combined mode is strangely lanky and the individual robots are too generic mecha in terms of headsculpt. Love the dinomodes though. Except Swoop, that's just Rodan.

Decided that I didn't like the jarring appearance of gray squares on Armada Prime's chest. I think this approximates the canon color breakup while adding some visual interest and a more gradual shift from red to gray. It helps hide the gap where the doors should be in truck mode but robot mode...

Upped my weights regimen recently and god am I sore.

People say that every generation ya boomers.

Love the colors but the mold is iffy. While Dreadwing holds together better than the reviews I've seen of Skyquake, there are lots of weird little design choices on this guy. There's not a lot of clearance for the wings, leading to having to rotate the waist 90 degrees just to swing them to the...

Have them on multiple streaming platforms, local stations, cable, online or anybody that'll take it. You don't have to stick to one and a TF cartoon's not going to be some big draw that sells subscriptions so may as well get a broader audience. If you are stuck to one platform, they need to get...

Hasbro needs to pick a lane and stick to it for kids’ toylines. The gimmicky stuff wouldn’t appeal to adult collectors but neither would compromised articulation, articulation and accuracy. If a rainbow shitting unicorn at $200 has a market, they can sell something akin to fast action battlers...

Isn’t that just a soft taco?

Yeah, probably adherence to Japan kids’ toy standards of accuracy. Even their cheapo sentai and Kamen Rider vinyl toys are impressively accurate.

Yeah, SRW 30 was good enough for me.

That photo is improperly transformed. There are tabs to hold the arms in place, though it is fiddly because the meaty mitts slam into each other.

Eh. Ship's sailed for Brave as far as I'm concerned. All I really wanted to know was what happened after the end of GGG Final and I don't really care enough for a new series, especially if they can't be bothered to animate it. Maybe if somebody comes up with a Genesic GGG that transforms and...

Takara’s reported to have cut back on their funding as well. Transformers is effectively a dead brand over there.

The arms have no way to attach to the wheel in truck mode. The ratchets can hold the arms in position but that’s just lame when even the original BW toy fastened the arms to the wheel. There’s really no excuse not to secure those in a 20+ year more advanced toy with an unlimited budget when...

Even if they weren’t beholden to stockholders, skipping a year would still be a dumb decision financially and Hasbro would still want to make money regardless. When you get to the levels of cash that multinational corporations have, stagnation is simply just losing money.

The stockholders would sue them for breaching fiduciary duty. Brand probably dies faster as well.

They’re still Optimal Optimus’ vehicle modes and therefore garbage. The truck mode doesn’t even bother to secure his arms and they just float around pretending to be attached to the wheel. The new jet mode tries to hide the arms but it’s still not all that great. If this were engineered to have...

I blame the extreme cost cutting. The voyagers, Leaders and Core are okay for the most part but the Deluxes get the brunt of it. Skids in particular is the worst toy I've seen in quite a while. Looks like a bad upsized knockoff of a Legends toy. Also, in Armada Optimus' case, they may have had...

I'm not gonna bother with the vehicle modes. They're jive and the transformations are terrible. The little gorilla minicon's kind of crappy in terms of build quality but the originals were a bit janky as well, so I can't complain, especially for the price.
