"Draw me like one of your French tyrants!"

Echo's now out on both Disney+ and Hulu. But if you don't have your parental settings set to TV-MA, it won't show up as watchable on Disney+. It's funny, Disney's now willing to put TV-MA content on Disney+, yet their initial refusal to make content geared towards adults is what led to the...

Tow-Line wasn't one of those little ones. He was Deluxe size.

Another figure with a really good transformation is the Energon Tow-Line mold. Such a simple yet elegant and very effective transformation. It even trims the fat that most modern Ironhide/Ratchet molds struggle to deal with by recreating the sled of their original 1984 mold, even updating it to...

I'm guessing the comics published in Disney Adventures are out of the question. Though, both those and the Marvel ones weren't canon anyway.

Additionally, Mark made an Instragram story that expounds upon his post:

It's name is "Ginou" (pronounced "gheen-oh"), which apparently means "Silver King".

To be fair, Freezer and Novakane didn't transform into anything in the movie, so the toy designers had more creative freedom make them into whatever they wanted.

Everyone except me. I missed the order window. 😭

"Optimus Prime". 😜

All of the OP's examples were toys.

That's who he played in Spider-Man: Homecoming. He mentioned having a nephew, too.

"What if Orion Pax lived into old age without ever being gunned down by Megatron and rebuilt as Optimus Prime by Alpha Trion?" 😜

Ah, so it was YOU who inspired them to G1-ify everything! 😜

And there was that Buzzworthy Bumblebee version of Cliffjumper and the dead Ironhide/Prowl 2-pack that each replaced translucent plastic with opaque plastic.

2009 Hasbro: OR, what they'd really say:

The current theory is because the Supreme class Roll Out Command Optimus Prime toy sold so poorly that Hasbro didn't want to risk the failure of another large-sized Animated toy.

I always had to do it manually because the gimmick never worked on mine. It tried auto-transforming maybe once, with the internal gears sounding off, but no movement of the trailer parts actually happened. It was a janky idea and a janky execution from start to finish.

Here's another one I don't really like transforming that much: HasLab Unicron. Takes at least 15-20 minutes to convert and it's all just shell-forming around a torso that's just one big functionless chunk. And his robot head can't be stored anywhere in Planet Mode, having to be removed and...
