    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I wholeheartedly agree, but the answer to that is to write the robot properly, not this holomatter avatar idea. Even if the latter were somehow to be followed, the same type of writing (the humans don't fare much better in those movies) brings us back where we started. This is fair,, and I...

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

    I am realizing how weird this sentence is as I type it, but: I wish SS86 Brawn's feet were more substantial. Less-weird thing to say and phrase: man, I am not sold on that face. Forget gap fillers and such, give me a better headsculpt for Brawn as an upgrade kit option. Actually, I wish more...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    TBH, I don't disagree with Bay entirely here, but then I am very lukewarm on the whole integrating GI Joe thing. The only thing I halfway like about it is that approaching it from this vector lends itself to a more comic-booky, sci-fi-y take that may play better because it isn't a Woo Realistic...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Ehh, idk. I agree with how his formula has poisoned the well, but it's less that people want the same crap from new product and more that people have come to associate the films as a whole with that crap, to the point where any new product is preemptively dismissed as more of the same, and it'll...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I couldn't disagree more with the "less humans more Transformers" stances, even regarding ROTB. The human element should always be a part of these narratives for various reasons. Of course it's best if done well, but even done middlingly is better than to not have it.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Man, that's pushing all the right buttons for me. If Hasbro starts in this direction, I'm doomed.

    Huh. Actually, exactly same.

    Delisted Transformers Games coming to Game Pass?

    No fan of Activision, me, but I think it makes some sense to not invest in a license that you don't think is going to make you money. The whole point of value propositions. Now, they might be wrong about that, but prior to the last few years of nostalgia for that era/gameplay idk how much they...

    Much tougher to pull off those seductive thighs.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Love it. Wish the arms, legs, and ladder were white, but idk how the sprues work out in that case. I actually tried to make this at one point.

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

    I may have posted this before, but... anyone able to take a picture of Cyberverse Spark Armor Jetfire and SG Collection Starscream side by side? I've long toyed with the idea of getting the cockpit chest from the former and putting it on the latter (somehow) to add to the look. Especially since...

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

    Really wish we could just get a new tank Megs already, with the appropriate tank front chest and shoulder railgun. There are at least 3 significantly different color schemes they could squeeze out of it-- G2 green (or BW2 Megastorm, or split the difference by incorporating both camo colors), G2...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    It's one of those things that sounds weird but looks amazing. There's something about those toy based shapes and proportions that just speaks directly to me. I hope it's not too long before they get around to a Hot Rod.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I don't mind this Axer, although that does sound neat. But now I want a RID2001 Sideways/Axor versus pack. I can see why this mold fits Spacewarp, and after some initial coolness to it, it's growing on me. I do dig that Drift, and all the Mini-Cons are adorable. I think Fracture should be...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Never had a problem with subs, and actually prefer them even in media whose audio language I can understand. But I'm aware that's not a universal experience. Of course, one more reason I might be less annoyed by the Japanese audio kids could be that too: that I can't understand the language...

    I'm baffled at all these newly-announced things just... showing up out of the blue. Baffled, but mostly jealous.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Defending the writing of the kids in Armada etc is like defending, say, heels (bad guys) in wrestling. "Of course you don't like them, they're the bad guys, we're meant to hate them" only goes so far, as booing/disliking them can come from a character/narrative place (as it should), or just...

    Ah, thank you! Now I can sleep. Really wish I could track down this booklet thing.
