    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    That might be the version I hold on to (or if they make the Legends Leo Prime; just great colors). I don't know why I can't seem to get into Thundertron as a toy. The character concept is cool enough, and this new mold seems to be an improvement in key ways from the original. I think there's...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I do hope that one of the things that gets put in a 3P upgrade kit is a cover for those. Could just be smooth/featureless and just match the overall look of the surrounding area, even; could be cog-based, but I might prefer the former. Given the lack of a role in transformation for the shins...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Frankly this would get me to buy this after having skipped Vector Prime. Sure, he now turns into this rather than the weird Cybertronic Ghost Hawk, but it's close enough. Funny enough, there IS a comic-based subline this would be perfect for...

    I'm as big a Rodimus booster as you'll ever see, and sure I'd love to see him get his due. But I don't think i want him to be the Arisen because i don't want an Arisen character. Some vague prophecy about an Autobot who will light the darkest hour sure, because that can be repurposed to be a...

    I mean, it's not like Optimus could have been the Arisen at the moment. He was a-dead.

    Fitting that he transforms into that then.

    Well that's annoying. There already IS a Prima in the set. No hogging the spots, Prima!

    Not to jinx it and spawn another reuse of this mold, but I do wish that one of the many reuses they'd churned out looked like that. Maybe even with Siege, which brings non-cartoon/Earth inspiration with it anyway (the Microman sword). Darker, miner-style helmet (the sculpt then inexplicably went...

    Honestly, as much as I complain about it, I'm part of the problem. I crave lore and lore possibilities, and I grew up with an affinity for the "official" versions of things. I distinctly remember asking for a 64-piece Crayola set just so I could know the "official" names for different colors...

    I like The Last Autobot more as an Autobot creation than as one of the Thirteen, which I also prefer predating the factions. (The deceptive Liege Maximo begetting the Decepticons I like, but more as an inspiration -- making lies work for them, "you are being deceived" -- than a biological...

    One thing all that suggests is that if it weren't Alvarez it would have been someone else; that was likely to be Furman. So the roster and story was going to be written either way. Thing is, even given Furman's hits and misses, I think I'd trust him a bit more with that. But who's to say, I guess.

    Honestly this is the best way the Thirteen make sense. They're prehistory, shadowed mythical figures. They're not supposed to be within reach, let alone have one chilling right there while another one could have arisen in this new guy. This distancing allows The Fallen to remain unique, and...

    As it tends to be when this sort of concern comes up, it's less about the anniversary and more "where has the time gone." It's a big number, one where the memento moris ring clearer and the expectations that are tied to age nag just a bit more. And hell, after the weird time hole that was the...

    Power Rangers General Discussion Thread

    Love this. I've always loved that Haim Saban was trying to get this going from that far back (until he finally talked to the patron saint of 90s kid TV, Margaret Loesch), because the local (English) dub of Bioman was the first Sentai anything I ever knew. And I somehow went through my entire...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Cyclonus seems closer, but may need a different jet nose and cockpit. The cockpit will be easier to accommodate in robot mode, as it'll just hang off his back. A shorter nose may also have to fold up less to fit in the chest.

    Reimagining Quintessons

    I love the thought of Rodimus' recall basically being like that one "Homer's photographic memory" cutaway where he remembers Marge with green hair and blue rollers, himself being ripped, Apu having three heads, a baby in the crowd having a beard, and so on.
