You can totally find boards and rules for Star Trek chess. Amazon has several listings like this one.

I'm very excited by the prospect of Transformers Hot Wheels. Ideally, it would be a set of standard Hot Wheels vehicles deco'd as the G1 cast. A guy over at TFW has been doing these for a while with fantastic results.

Some cool graffiti that my wife got a picture of:

I don't know what you mean. They made sure to give him his signature handgun and scimitar. What more could you want?

Nowadays, they can spread that budget out over a whole wave instead of per figure, so theoretically we can get AM Thundercracker so long as the rest of the wave is paint-free. Mold them in solid purple or red as the new version of Decoys.

It's ironic that there's finally a toyline where Action Master Thundercracker fits in visually, yet he doesn't meet the "never released by Hasbro" theme of the line.

Pulse has gotten a little better. When they first started, every single item in an order would be shipped separately no matter what. Now they seem to combine items if they all ship out on the same day, at least.

Very true. Years ago, I used to get an hour lunch break, but as someone that packs a lunch, I was done within about 15 minutes, so I had some time to kill. A couple of times a week, I'd hit Target or Walmart to see what they had. I'd buy 90% of my Transformers on those trips, hardly ever...

I thought that, too! I'm sure it was done for us, the viewer, to make it obvious that they were clones of Gideon. But generally you don't want your entire super soldier team to have to knock off at 3:30 to be at the restaurant by 4:00 for the early bird special.

Optimus can come out of the corner when he's ready to apologize.

I'm surprised he agreed to be on the show. His last experience with puppets did not go well:

I enjoyed it. Like people said, it was nothing groundbreaking, but it was a fun, Star-Warsy romp. It did feel a lot like a "wrap up all the current storylines and next time we'll do something new" sort of episode, which I'm fine with. Honestly, I'd like it to pick up next season after enough...

I actually ran across a Motormaster in store. I grabbed him and cancelled my preorder. But that was probably the only time I've ever seen anything larger than a Leader at retail since Toys 'BackwardsR Us closed down.

This is the correct answer. I was trying to come up with good "Evil Junkion Warlord" names for RotB Scourge last night (since I already have too many dudes named Scourge as it is.) Thinking of maybe Despoil. Good combo of something trash/pollution themed along with being reminiscent of "despot."

Those slots in the windshield make it look like the VW bus from Pixar's Cars. Otherwise, though, aside from the lack of paint that I would expect from a lower-price version of the character, it's not a bad mold. I still don't really like RotB Wheeljack's face, but I think the design other than...

In her defense, the show wasn't actually that good when she decided to leave. Next Generation really started picking up steam somewhere in season 2 (though still with the occasional clunker episode). And she did return later as a frequent guest star, both as Tasha in "Yesterday's Enterprise"...

I will never NOT want additional Dinobots, so I'm game.

Language is just telepathy with extra steps.

Maybe it's just me, but the head/face feels G1-Scourge-y, along with the claws. It's definitely not a 1:1 Scourge by any means, just sort of a "vibe," I guess. The kind of knight-looking head/neck armor and monstery-bits feel a bit like they were inspired by the vampire-like G1 Scourge. But...
