Something I’d like? Something nifty for the brand’s 40th anniversary? How about a selection (maybe a replacement for Shattered Glass) of “Lost Lines”. Toys based on (or made from) concepts and toys that never QUITE reached production. Stuff from Transtech, or Transformers Heroes. Stuff that...

Because Valve doesn't want to pay Microsoft any money. That, and the Linux foundation allows for a more customizable front end that would work better in this form factor without that pesky windows overhead.

Without a combining ability...isn't that just a flavor of G1 Wheeljack?

I mean, in another era, I'd chalk it up to a Jhiaxus or Starscream retool...but that's not a guarantee. The most recent Pretender homage is Iguanus who has a "fused" design, incorporating elements of both his shell and vehicle mode. The last two Metalhawks we got were a suit-inspired Prime...

Starscream feels off to me. It's probably the same issue that afflicted his 2014 attempt. His torso still lacks some contrast, but it's that they still are making weird concessions. A key element to his design was the circular intakes on his shoulders. There really isn't a significant...

Beast Machines Megatron, full Megahead triple changer version.

Tier 3 is unlocked (officially): A HISS Gunner (a female HISS Driver!) with a trio of additional guns for the tank, including turret mounted machine guns and a new chin mounted turret. With unlocks, fans are now getting nearly a half dozen additional weapon modules for the base tank and two...

As I recall, the original "concept" of the HISS was intended to have some troop transport function, along with a drop cockpit design (akin to the Raven). The comic often portrayed the vehicle sporting a "el camino" style open back design. When Hasbro revisited the tank in 1989, they ended up...

To be honest, given the general state of the industry, it was highly unlikely there would be much beyond what we've seen in the pipeline. You have theatrical window, home viewing/streaming release and Christmas. That's about par for the kind of movie Lightyear positions itself as.

Damn, that episode was INTENSE!

Many updates today! The old Hisstank keeps on rolling in orders, and is only about a thousand orders from unlocking tier 2: Alternate canopy and skirt armor to replicate the vintage HISS look. Given fan predilections, this could inspire yet MORE additional purchases to display with alternate...

Absolutely. This would easily be a $150-200 retail release, and there's potential for a LOT of added value beyond the figure(s). I'm tempted, it's a good year out and would be a fantastic centerpiece to a Cobra display. And it's a troop building thing, so you know there are crazy fans buying...

So, despite my best efforts, someone in my mother's quilt group (and I also learned she was being more lax with masking than she should have been) had "da vid" and ended up spreading it to a bunch of people. Including my mother, who infected me. Symptoms started on Saturday, but the COVID test...

Portal was dumped on just about every major platform a couple generations ago. Not only that, but they run on the Source Engine, any modest computer will run them well. Heck, just cheaper to pick them up on Steam or on Xbox (both are backwards compatible) And

It was a weak, but FUN episode. The cast clearly had a blast doing it, but they still managed a pretty strong ending. I applaud them for wrapping M'Benga's arc so early. Too many shows (episodic or serial) will stretch any b or C plot for years after they should have done something with it...

I think Tonkanator (which is conceptually AWESOME) would have jived with me better had he been a repaint of titan Devastator, perhaps using some of the new assets they worked in to make it more interesting. But maybe Target wasn’t hip on an exclusive of that size and cost. Depending on the...

The chonky saucer boi will be MINE! I'm surprised he is a mostly new mold. I was fully expecting a glorified retool for Origins Bumblebee, to see him pretty G1 is pretty nice. It's a solid collection, with some novel elements. Space and cost issues are coming into play...but I think it's a...

The end of the stinger: "It's going to be one of THOSE episodes, isn't it?"

I guess I can spill my view? It was a damn strong finale to what was ultimately…a mediocre series. The biggest issue, to me, was the constant wheel spinning, to the point it retreads ON ITSELF just for the sake of filling an extra couple of episodes. I’ve gotten old enough to let them play a...
