That's as much of a reach as anything. At least half that paragraph is fanbase perspective Bay would simply not know or care about. I highly doubt he, or anyone involved in the writing, intended this to be a polemic skewering redecos and retools. "Transformium" isn't even something really...

2001 was an interesting year in Transformers, with the series Car Robots being adapted into Transformers: Robots in Disguise, a harbinger for the 2002 Transformers anime resurgence that would become the Unicron Trilogy. Among the more memorable characters from this upbeat series was the Predacon...

Yes, but must have the circuit deco.on wings.

Kickback's altmode should have been upside down at least.

Kickback is up on HasbroPulse.com now.

New Megatron print, by Luke Preece.

I'm right there with you on having hoped that this would be an opportunity to DOFP it. But now that that's failed to happen (not saying it would've been better than what we did get)? At this stage, I don't even really care anymore, the window's closed, just reboot already and make the next...

Oh man. It'd be great to get this mold as Megazarak, or in that Lucky Draw color scheme. I'm already very excited for the Galvatron that's in the listings.

There's a volume 3 and 4?! Thanks for this. Gonna stand by now.

I am seriously liking how those Voyagers look together. I've never liked the scaling of the Deluxe Elitas (Netflix WFC, Legacy) with this contemporaneous Voyager Optimus, for much the same reason as I don't like Masterpiece Autobots generally being waist height to Optimus. But this looks wonderful.

Huh. This is the first I've heard of this specific issue. I've had only one bad run-in with a screw on a TF and it was a secondhand figure whose screw head had already had its grooves worn down. Although the material did seem oddly easy to wear down further; I had to stop and get a bigger...

We agree on all of these points. I'm just saying that it may have been better to give each direction its own narrative space and putting it all together cost each depth and substance, but I'm with you in that what we got was far from a mess in the end, considering how difficult the task was...

The Hasbro listing was the first time I saw the MP label applied, and it immediately made sense to me (partly because it clicked for me that "oh, that's why it's pricey"). That's kind of the niche this is going for. High-end recreation of the classic product, with more engineering and parts. I...

Pins I can almost tolerate since most of the time there's a way to get them out. But rivets that force you to get the knurled end out the hard way and then don't respond to soldering irons are just maddening.

I very vaguely recall that, but I wasn't following closely at the time so I got hit with the full force of it in the official announcement that was littered with proper nouns (Maximals! Terrorcons!) and made me feel very concerned for how crammed this thing was going to be, after the...

I agree. I've gone back and forth on just making one and getting it over with. I think part of what calms me down is that I'd prefer the Earthrise mold as a base. Although the Siege mold is a DREAM to disassemble and paint, night and day vs the "if only they used screws instead of these...

It didn't work as well for me when the Snyder Cut did it. But I think there's more I like here to start with, so maybe. But that just cements the notion that all that, properly paced and fleshed out, could have made for two films rather than half-assing each into one. Eh. I feel the complaint...

Yeah, the Maximals and their entire gig have been condensed remarkably well here, but that still necessarily includes making a lot of sacrifices to make room for the backstory baggage. It was always going to be an overstuffed narrative, which has the side effects of denying much time for...

I mean, just look at the glow-up that Jhiaxus got.

There's also at least one site (Philippines-based specialty store that has typically not faffed around with fake listings) that has opened preorders for it. https://www.hobbykorner.com/product/b6118/
