    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    I was always going to be willing to pay Commander prices for a full Rodimus Prime, however unfavorably he seems to compare value wise to the immense Sky Lynx etc. Whatever. And do like so much about it. But I'm with Coffee on this, the execution is maddening. Robot and base mode, great. Solo...

    Your 5 Most-Wanted Gen Deluxe Characters

    Oh, that Universe Smokescreen would be sweet. It would also be cool to get the SG Sideswipe mold in Drench colors, with the olive drab, but that seems like it'd be pretty unlikely. Gonna have to make that one at home. Turbomaster Flash Aileron Pretender Finback Beast Machines Silverbolt RID2015...

    Scott Pilgrim Anime

    Tbh in today's multiverse-happy storytelling milieu, it's easier than ever to live by the notion that adaptation Y doesn't erase story X from existence. I'm happy to see this as a Hitchhikers Guide sort of situation where each adaptation/version has its own unique bits, although in this case the...

    Scott Pilgrim Anime

    Oh, I agree with all of that. I mean I don't view these things as an either/or so I probably wouldn't phrase it that way, but Scott definitely has even less actual development here than he really does in the original film (which at least has the excuse of mostly relying on adapting the earlier...

    Scott Pilgrim Anime

    They do manage some development for Scott, but it comes from a different direction (the future rather than reinterpreting his past). I prefer the original too, but this has something. I enjoyed it, but only because I consciously decided to watch it as a new thing once it became clear that's...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    It's pretty neat how nondescript this Soundwave is in robot mode, despite the signature weapon, headsculpt, and chestplate. Something about it just makes it seem so generic and thus pretty useful as a base for almost whoever.

    Studio Series discussion

    Now I want a Gamer Edition Botbots multipack. The video game (and even computer) themed ones and a few snacks (soda can and chips).

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

    I actually really appreciate that, having grown up with the song since well before it wore out its welcome with the world (apparently). As well as just having an affinity for the holiday, probably cultural in origin (we joke that the season begins in SEPTEMBER over here, with a minor pause for...

    I realize that's meant to be a starfield, but maybe given the time of year my first thought was "snow on Cybertron".

    Transformers: Reactivate (console MMO)

    I've taken to displaying unopened (either MISB or resealed) stuff, partly because of sheer backlog of opening things. Sometimes the appeal is the unique or interesting packaging itself. Cool box art, specialty-feeling packaging, nice display windows etc., makes for nice shelf material. For me...

    Transformers: Reactivate (console MMO)

    I like this Prime as an update; it avoids the proportion issues seen in the Earthrise take (arms, thighs) and the ROTB movie-ized take (I can't get past that "old guy with pants pulled way up" vibe). The upper arms are a bit thin for my tastes though (especially against the bulkier forearms) and...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Some bloat is always to be expected now, sadly. But I'll put up with it if it means getting these customization options, which would help these out a lot. The Seeker with different pilot labels, some different flight rank insignia and/or "scratched target" Autobrands, would be neat; it could...
