I had an entirely different reply mostly based on "wait why are you telling me this", but I figured this was more of a reply to LordGigaIce, so I'll leave you to it.

Yeah part of me is miffed that Evac kept getting "who was even tangentially a helicopter in G1? We gotta churn out more G1" redecos. As was the style at the time. (I might have been less miffed if they'd varied things up a bit more and gone past 1986. Windmill. Blaze Master. Rotorstorm.) And...

I haven't had a chance to sit down with all this, but the titles seem to indicate it's all season 1 stuff? I hope there's a chance for a follow-up soon with the Western showdown music and Silverbolt's heroic fanfare.

I have a fondness for Lio stemming from when BW2 overstock or warehouse clearing stock or whatever randomly showed up here and I got a first taate of BW2 in the early 2000s, right as I was getting back into Transformers full swing. Took a bus to a part of the city I'd never been before, getting...

BW soundtrack is up! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kGEdos1reJvRssa1Miem34wAThC8vasg0

That Cyberverse one was a really cool figure. I still want to track down the green redeco.

Jerry and Frank.

They could have done a flashback with this Sentinel Prime just to get that into the comic. Or tell it in two parallel stages, with him being the core hero of a past-set story, and the current bots trying to get a Macguffin he protected or his or whatever. It was kind of a schmozz anyway. I...

I vaguely remember this term being thrown around when IDW G1 was new, but I never liked it. It's like calling all toothpaste Colgate or something. And I don't really think it's endured as a term, especially now that the Ultimate brand and universe, still new enough at the time that it was a...

Frankly, even at the time, it was clear that Aligned having One True Story or whatever was an interesting idea, but in practice would always be a fool's errand given the sheer spread of the brand's story and product arms, and the lack of incentive or reason for Hasbro to allow anyone to set and...

That memory dump of such a fun era was a trip. Thanks to all of you who played a role in getting it together. Some of those are particularly cool, and it's just gratifying to see so many UT-era concepts and molds again. There really was an energy and ethos that's just missing from the brand...

I recently used Mrs. Doubtfire as an example in a lecture and the kids just looked at me blankly. When I tell you I crumbled into dust and blew away right then... Anyway. I'd absolutely love a Grandus. This might make me go back on my "not buying any more Titans" rule. Actually, maybe make it...

Nah, not for me. What I'd love out of Wreckers is for, by some miracle, the unreleased toys from the catalog to be made. From their original molds.

One Galva Convoy, please.

A miserable little pile of secr--

I got a good deal on the first one and I'd like this one but money's much tighter now and I doubt I'll get as good a deal.

It's too late...

I was this close to typing "but Scourge has a new hat!", and froze when I found myself actually entertaining the idea of buying a Scourge that had just such a hat.

This is indeed gorgeous (I especially like how different the face shape turned out), but I think it was this one by GXE18 that caught my eye: Which may still not be QUITE Unite Warriors, but the bluish tint and lighter clear orange made me think of that. Either way, yeah, I think Hasbro's...

I like T30 Roadbuster well enough except for the clown slippers. The head could stand to be more G1-y (idk if the changes are part of distancing it from Dorvack or whatever) but it isn't a bad sculpt in my eyes. It's certainly closer than the toy-style Selects one, but I'd probably consider...
