Don't have the packaging any more but it's the Deluxe FOC Shockwave retool (sorry, not repaint the chest and head are different) with a sword and named after one of the Aerialbots, can't remember which one. They're in storage bins at my parents' place. I'll get some pics when I get back there.

There's something in the metallic paint that they used in that particular segment of Generations. The yellow/gold parts on my Kickback turned green and the Aerialbot shockwave repaint's bronze bits turned gold.

Looks like they redesigned the monkey pants to be somewhat bigger than the previous renders. The feet are kinda generic but eh, leaving the middle toe off should help somewhat.

The fullsized image has a watermark, so definitely a digibash. From TFW2005 via the first google image search result for "velocitron crasher".

It helps that manga is incredibly diverse. Whether you’re into martial arts monkey-men, ninja, pirates, sports, magical girls, robots, rom-coms, yuri,BL or straight up porn, you’re gonna find something. comics are basically just capeshit and stuff that is sort of popular but not popular enough...

Ongoing comics tend to suck badly, not even getting into the continuity nonsense and constant giant events. Miniseries where there's a defined beginning, middle and end are where the good stuff is usually at. Even the normies can sense the absolute level of dreck.

Springer's helicopter mode is the car with the fenders back and the back end unfolded. And of course the rotor.

Looks like a digibash from this resolution.

I'd expect them to sculpt tread details on the crab legs themselves and have a piece fold out from each half of the pincer to form the tread system if they go for it. Last working treads we got were on Leader Megatron and quite a few units had the rubber treads split fairly quickly and all those...

Tank mode's a complete mess though. Triple changers always compromise one altmode for the benefit of the other and for Blitzwing, I'd prefer the tank be the priority. The Decepticons have enough jets anyway. I also really hate the floating shoulder armor

Blitwing arrived yesterday. He's okay. Lots of little problems but nothing particularly gamebreaking. Robot mode's probably the best, being aesthetically sound and poseable overall but his shoulders are annoyingly restricted and the backpack is a balance problem. Tank mode has a dong but is...

The body transforms similarly to the 3rd party MP Blitzwing I owned for a bit. The difference is, this one uses the actual plane wings for the robot wings and instead of hanging the treads off the wings, they sandwich the treads among themselves like Legacy, only they get oriented vertically and...

Probably because of how the shins transform. Since the wings fold into themselves to make the shins, the wings are stubby, there's no room to hide the arms or treads inside the body of the jet and the backpack has to be huge and waste partscount simulating the wings in robot mode instead of just...

Blitzwing arrived today. He's alright, jet mode is a purple triangle, tank has a dong. Robot mode's okay aside from a backpack that really should have secured better but is still tolerable and terrible shoulders. I love the energon mittens for some reason.

Nah, that's China. America is far from perfect but it's earned the status of a developed country.

Salmonella is endemic to amphibians, reptiles and birds. If beef is contaminated with it, that represents a massive breach in sanitation and handling. Wouldn’t worry about it in a first world country

If you ever feel like having a well-done steak, buy a pack of jerky and save yourself some time and cash

Serious talk, Ranch is fine most of the time. As long as it’s not the commercially available stuff that’s basically putrid mayonaise with extra steps. Unfortunately, it’s more often the latter around here.

Ranch sauce pizza is far more of an abomination than pineapple could ever be. Like jeebus, yanks, I know you pride being being walking piles of lard but still.

I can understand being somewhat cautious though. It would suck to spend your vacation abroad entirely in the bathroom
