Just make it Overwatch, comparisons be damned.

GI Joe is one of the more frustrating properties, with perhaps one of the more counterproductive fandoms. Steevy Maximus has summed this up better elsewhere (but I think that may have been pre-Allspark outage). The property at large was one of those that got sidelined in the late 80s/early 90s...

I just want more offscreen character redecos. But sure, if we have to go the mission redeco route... but give us something more interesting than literally "here's the same thing but in gray", which those NEST redecos no one asked for were.

Yeah, when Hollywood is accused of cash grabs, no one is talking about the key grip or the wardrobe manager. It's a bunch of execs demanding to get Chris Pratt to voice Denver The Last Dinosaur so money machine go brrr.

Maybe now, all these years later, the brand is finally ready for... Prowl 3.

Absolutely. And Silverbolt! Filch coming out reminds me of that other purple birdbot.

There are some iffy decisions on Quickswitch, but I like it well enough to wish I could track down that decent deal on the redeco I saw once. Oh well, that's money the mainline demands. I do remember hearing good things about Glacialord, and that was one of the nicer ideas they had. Love the...

I got the City Commander and Protector kits, then had to put them and other stuff in storage, then they REALLY got kept in storage when we moved, and by the time I got back to them they had been passed by and outclassed. I remember being impressed just by the facility of creating something so...

Give me all of these, and then redecos and retools aplenty. Universe Stockade. Botcon Cyclonus. Uh, toy colors Thrust. And then a few Deluxes of offscreen characters. Hammerstrike, Battle Unicorn, Night Viper, Scavenger, Mirage. And they should ALL have spark crystals.

This is probably not worth the effort to digibash, but I'm realizing that DK3 Breaker and Lift Ticket can basically parts swap (and take a bit of paint) to make blue Diaclone Hoist. Annoyingly there's nothing on Toyhax for the hazard striping on the side of the vehicle (because Hoist and Lift...

This only makes sense, as "add articulation" becomes less effective as a move when applied to generations already engineered with it. Then it becomes about improving proportions or changing up the articulation that was already there (hopefully for the better). Burn Out is a bigger "leap" than...

This is gorgeous, but I'd rather they give it the Selects Primal Prime treatment.

That's a good point. I'm probably going to skip or at least delay Bee, but I'm hoping Glyph and Tapout finally get made, and if those are from versions of this mold, why not. Aside: has anyone made like a proper injected plastic (or whatever, just not a 3d print thing) version of that upgrade...

I can shrug off not redoing PMOP that soon, and the Evolution aspect of Orion Pax works well enough for me in tandem with Hot Rod/Rodimus. But I might've been interested in a PMOP in Takara's Gen Selects instead of Star Convoy. (Although I suppose that would've changed the manga by a fair bit...

It's the first I'm hearing of it, honestly, and it sounds a little sad. Anyway, not surprised to see the marketing skew toward the 80s cartoon. As much as i appreciate every era and iteration of Transformers since, I'd be very surprised if it did anything other than that -- for many reasons...

Heh, I think we had one of those too for that April Fool's joke. Although iirc the mockup used an Earthrise Grapple. But I do miss the vibe of getting random, "ordinary", real-world things as new Transformers. I remember walking out of the 2007 movie and seeing a parking lot full of generic...

I don't disagree, but personally...

I'm still just waiting for some M.A.S.K love. 2023 brought transforming masks as a prank.

I agree. This is a big part of why the T30 range started out with small main cast members iirc, to go with Metroplex. And we've been getting more and more such city/basebots for them to go with in the years since. Idk if they're specifically avoiding splitting or diluting the buying audience...

And they've got to do a Wirewolfman too.
