That's fair, but not the life for me. Can certainly see the logic of wanting as much for the cash as possible, but I literally can't afford to use the amount as a starting point, heh. I was never going to pay $220 for one of these -- and certainly not now that there is a decent alternative that...

Brb gonna put that on my business cards

Thanks! Got this loose secondhand iirc, but I am tempted to get a new one in the packaging (we did just get part of wave 1, and unexpectedly the beast assortment, recently). Legacy packaging is wild in a good way.

New one with arms and lower legs repainted from Kingdom Cheetor (can swap the original parts back). If I were repainting from scratch I'd correct the shade of gray first thing.

Switched some parts with a donor Cheetor (whose head went to Shadow Panther). The gray is still off (should be a little bluish, based on the original) but it's closer than it was overall so, not bad. This I'm a bit happier with: just some minor tweaks here and there to correct the window color...

Hmm. Still need to track down and rebuy that Transmetal.

..."apologist views". For a toyline. And I'M the one with "clouded judgment" who's unwilling to accept a point of view "contrary to my own." I'm not the one who renamed a toyline to invalidate its entire design sensibility (aside from certain designs I so magnanimously decide would fit my...

Hasbro's really making use of their lightsaber toy expertise to keep making light-up versions of these roleplay blades. I'm glad that options like these are available without the pretentious Super Grown-up Collectible with Real Metal Parts Because Metal, at least.

I'd believe literally any of that more if you hadn't spent all this time trying to make "Notbots" happen. This personal rejection of the line is fine, whatever, like what you like, but you can just admit these aren't for you and pass on them, without trying to beef up that position with the...

It's neat that 20 years later Armada Prime's self-transforming trailer finally gets an homage. Of course they Geewun'd it up. /sarcasm

Both of your suggestions are great, but I was mainly looking for a chance to get that corrected color scheme on the Earthrise mold. But again, neither of those are bad ideas.

None of those changes parallel your earlier idea of streamlining Botbots to focus on the "proper looking ones" and repainting a new-character burger to look like Optimus Prime. Lines can (don't always do, but can) change when brought from one market to another, but that isn't always the case...

The price hike is kind of hard to get past, now. Really feeling it over here, as the prices have almost doubled locally compared to where they were for most of WFC. I may slow down even more on these. Jhiaxus is so deliciously silly looking in altmode, and the possibly milky white plastic isn't...

So anyway. Boy, are they really going to stick to that 2023 release date for the Netflix series 6?

It'd be neat if they did a solo redo of Prime in more Botcon-ish shades, even with battle damage and whatnot (the original whad some scuffy detailing), as a proper part of the line. Perhaps with the trailer, although that I can take or leave.

Again, missing the point of this toyline This line was never meant to fit into any of those categories. Tiny Turbo Changers, sure, that's much closer to that sort of thing, harp on that. But this line has from day one been a clean slate, and that's by design. It's not "here are the nth chibi...

Shattered Glass Magnus, who comes with both the skeletal Botcon head and the classic Delta Magnus head

Acid Storm packaging:

I only got my Golden Disk one through sheer luck, enough that I want to just be fine with it. Don't feel up to jumping through the different-but-still-demanding hoops to get this hypothetical Target exclusive (that's what it's said to be, right?). But I'm sorely tempted, because the small...
