I'd somehow never noticed this about Legacy United's G1 toy OwOptimus Prime. And now, every time I look at that head sculpt and see the wide eyes and faceplate blushing vent lines, that may be all I see.

Collaborative seems more like the venue to take, say, a Wily ship and make a robot out of it. Or the Yellow Devil, in an Optimus Primal sort of biped-to-biped situation.

I did like the way that the back treads ended up as a "have I mentioned that I'm on fire all the time?" billboard. Also, man, I'm back to wishing they'd have heavy-retooled Siege Megatron into the Stormbringer-era design. That probably would've been too much for the budget of the Fractured...

I think the lack of fiction is a big part of it. There's just not much to talk about since the main show G2 got was G1 with a gimmicky overlay. The comic was comparatively niche (but would get discussed), and most other stuff was even more so. People could discuss the toys, and fan fiction...

Yup, the altmode and most of the robot mode is very Impactor. Things end up in the same places. It's just the back-mounted treads in robot mode that are particularly Siege Megatron.

Idk if this is just me being a weeb, but I love how earworm-y Japanese songs and themes tend to be.

It's partly fatigue and partly because even for those of us who want the usual characters, well... We have them now already. Part of it is also just having wanted the obscuros forever for one reason or another. The 90s were around the time I could first more directly experience Transformers...

Stalkers? Do you mean Predators? And hell yeah, I want the set too. Not as much as I've been pining over Turbomasters, but.

I mean, Vector already was an extensive remold, so still fits.

So... Aligned? ;)

This mold is like the new T30 Springer. Also, is there a clean copy of that backdrop image?

That would look absolutely amazing in those colors. Black and charcoal and brown, with a screaming yellow orange wash...

No, no, let's not use that name...

It's nice, and the mold is good-looking enough to wear any colors well. But if we're getting anything retooled into Stalker, I agree Doubledealer has to be it. I REALLY wish they'd do a Pepsi Prime conversion set for Earthrise. It seems like a simple enough thing to paint, but not that simple.

On that note, feel free to drop by the Transformers One spoiler thread to discuss the movie after seeing it.

And then pose them all in a swarm being fought by Rage.

I think the Armada Megatron option makes more sense than Kingdom Galvatron. Tank mode, bulky and squarish, greebly. As opposed to the rounded shapes that arr all over the G1 Galvatron design. Maybe they can change the tall tread shoulders but the rest works. I could even see the Siege Megs...

(Part of my point that I didn't make explicit that it was also kind of amplified and fleshed out in the movie, because the biblical account never really delves into that relationship much. So the notion of this almost archetypical plot arc for rival-brothers-turned-bitter-enemies is fully-formed...
