    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Me too! I only ordered 1 set, but I fully expect that if I run into them "in the wild," I'll probably cave and splurge on a second so that I can display each head option.

    Damn lazy, good-for-nothing Ents! (Do you want Ents? That's how you get Ents!)

    Transformer Alt Modes as a metaphor for Self-Determination?

    Agreed, that's really the hitch in the "genderless" option, that so many of them are clearly written as "male" as opposed to truly neuter. There's so little reference frame for a non-gendered being that it's almost impossible for the writer/viewer not to immediately make the character lean into...

    Transformer Alt Modes as a metaphor for Self-Determination?

    I can totally take or leave gender in Transformers. On the "Leave" side, they're not just robots, but alien robots, so if they were totally genderless (or gendered in some way unrecognizable to us) it would completely make sense. On the "Take" side, I think it's easy enough to explain why...

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

    The Armorhide mold is one of my favorite little fellas. There was a popular mod at the time of buying an opening Hot Wheels trailer and adding some ToyHax stickers to give him an Optimus-style trailer, so I jumped on that.

    I barely know 'er dragon! Not sure it ever had wings, but he's definitely missing some parts. I was just happy that both of the spring loaded fists were still there.

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

    My haul from today's Apple and Pork Festival: Not pictured is a M.A.S.K. Switchblade (minus the blades, but otherwise in good shape). Odd mishmash of stuff. Sharkticon (can never have too many), Old Tomica car that is only 1 number away from being a Hot Wheels Jazz, Old Comandron Magna...

    I don't really collect Beasts, but I just realized that Tasmania Kid is a tail-swap away from being a squirrel, and my whole family has been obsessed with our local squirrel population for the last couple of years. May have to get one and see if I can find a donor tail.

    You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

    Love the hybrid vehicle/Rocklords. I was curious what they would do there, since I would have been surprised to see them just turn into roundish rocks. Looks like we have a Tidal Wave and a Magmatron incoming, both of which are super exciting. Thundertron is a great looking toy. Space...

    More of a remold than repaint, but I'd love to see that mold as Bubo the clockwork owl from Clash of the Titans

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Nacelle is a super fun toy that everyone should buy multiple units of. The most fun way to play with Nacelle is to place your face near the toy and inhale deeply. After that, it's fun to ingest many nutrients and climb to the top of a large structure where air currents could carry any emerging...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Definitely over the top. Like, if they had stopped the booger jokes after the initial nose-picking / handshake (leave it totally unremarked on, just have Riker come up with some reason to refuse to shake hands), then keep going with the idea that the alien culture is composed entirely of the...

    Man, I missed out on getting one from Pulse, so I preordered mine on Amazon instead. Kinda glad that I did miss it now, 'cause Amazon came through without any issues.

    I never knew I needed this in my life, but now I don't know how I can possibly live without it.

    That Optimus is beautiful. As much as I loved Animated, I was poor at the time and had no extra cash for Transformers, so I never got an Optimus other than the Activator, so I'll be happy to have this guy.

    Yeah, some of them were fantastic. Some felt forced and awkward.
