    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Yeah, I mean keep like Generations etc going, but testing the waters for a year where the kids line is a Micro play pattern line rather than "G1 in this art style"? That'd be fun. Sort of like Micro Machines now but with converting and with base/ship-looking playsets. This can be flanked by...

    An eBay auction has pics of the 2-packs. Chase versions of Prime and Bee.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    For years I've wanted them to pivot to micro play and give us base bots at the Voyager and Leader price points, and a non-converting Titan class Lost Light that opens up into different bases and suites.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    It was a clever shot, too. Go from expecting keys to tossed to, what the hell, a gauntle-OH

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    On the one hand, Unicron. On the other hand, Unicron is the latest in a long list of "we're throwing everything we can into this, maybe one of these things will stick". The Bee solo movie was all right and very refreshing at the perfect time. But as a follow-up, this is powered by too few...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Skipped this Metroplex, but this would get me to buy this mold. Replace Sparkdrinker with a bunch of Grandus-specific bits/retooling (replace shovels/scoops with gun bays, big multijointed runways on the back, a helipad/shield) and get it to shelves.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    New character posters. Love how colorful and bright these are getting, and really, it's starting to feel real now, like this is really happening and the Maximals are for real going to be in a summer blockbuster. It's kind of funny to be getting this cross-section of robot faces...

    Hasbro and Mattel to produce co-branded items

    From the front page. Currently it's just Barbie-themed Monopoly and ROTB-themed UNO, with Transformers-based Hot Wheels in early 2024.

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

    I wish there were an easy way to change the jointing on the shoulder/hood halves. I like some of the range that separating them from the arms allows for, but in so many of the poses it just seems weird to have them standing there.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I do like the releases we've seen so far, in that there's a healthy variety of styles and looks for a pretty good range of characters (rather than just an Op and Bee in all the lines and only one version of Cheetor or some such). The Beast Alliance gimmick is pretty neat. What I'd love...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Meh. They got fanservice, and they'll continue to get it, just not in every single instance. Maybe down the line we'll get some G1 colors slapped on to this with a more G1 style head, like we did with DOTM Que. Maybe we won't. Whatever. Regardless, I have no problem with the altmode OR this...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I'm having trouble keeping track of all of these, but a few minutes of looking at lists should do the trick. It'll be easier than AFFORDING the ones I want, given how prices have stabilized at high levels, so it'll be slow acquisition regardless.

    Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    The next fan-vote 3-pack should be for three Seekers from the Earthrise molds. I'd love a Sunstorm, Slipstream, and the unreleased Jungle-y one or Blackout. I've mulled a custom Turbo Board Twins thing out of two Soundbarriers, or maybe a Soundbarrier and a Slitherfang. Just one might not be...

    I want those colors ALL OVER the ROTB stuff. This Primal, a purple/yellow/white Airazor as Univ/BM SIlverbolt, Night Slash Cheetor... Universe 1 was a very fun line that gave us a broad mix of "what is this" redecos along with ones that had some deeper cuts (Obsidian as sorta Rotorbolt...
