Such a crisp deco.

Always wondered but never got around to checking -- which Matrix goes with which Cybertron Satellite Town Commander? 11 seems to be D/Mito Prime, and 10 seems to be N/Fukutsu Prime. These were the only ones released. 3 - A / Sapporo Prime? 5 - H / Akiba Prime? 2, 6, and 9 seem like a tossup...

Earthrise Prowl into BTA Red Alert? I want a yellow Tracks like nobody's business. SO tempted to give that and Dead End a try...

Not sure why it took me so long to realize BT Asterisk Broadblast would be a relatively quick Crosscut repaint (with a Skids head probably).

In a similar sense the Prime toys capture my imagination way more than the show (I am oddly more fond of RID2015 in terms of shows, go figure). The show hit a rut fairly early on and kept finding new ruts despite the occasional interesting ideas. In the end, the voice acting -- always happy to...

I kind of wrote Armada off after the first third or so, just coming back for a few key episodes and the finale. Energon same thing. As much for the quality issues as for the difficulty at the time of obtaining copies of the shows, which didn't air locally. It just got to be too much work for too...

Update: the "Jet Power Armor" from the Kuro Kara Kuri up for preorder. This is an armor set for gearing up their previous (#04) Kuro Kara Kuri Optimus Prime. They're reissuing the #04 kit as well.

I love that the comics have been so strong and inventive and bonkers. It's never going to be quite the same level of brand-building and keeping it in the public eye as a mainstream show (as Transformers has likewise illustrated well), but they keep the wheel turning with nice juicy lore and...

Idk, much as I like having Jolt in an all new color, I still would've preferred getting two Jolts (one red, one yellow) packed in, even if it meant not getting the guns and blast effects. That might have gotten me to backtrack and get regular Hot Shot.

I may display him with the rest of the Toxitron wave. Just a great vibrant look.

Ayup, I rechecked our screencaps of the stream where they announced him and the display model does indeed have the rocket launcher up and level with the shoulders (as opposed to the stock image/render, which has it swiveled down and back to point up). I've gone back and edited that bit out of my...

I dunno. My only real basis is Dino Fury since I just got started watching that after having not watched regularly in like 20+ years, but even with that being mostly original stuff (having the costumes to work with, having in-house cgi for most other stuff) rather than mostly writing around...

Same, actually. This is one of the releases that have aged the best.

Found one more soon-to-be-retired Classic custom. It's just as well. I've painted myself into a corner, in more ways than one. Admittedly I'm not sure what to do with some of these now, heh.

I had a brainfart for a moment there and assumed "Retro Duke and Scarlett" were going to be more 1:18 o-ring figures.

I'm nonplussed, and caught up in all the uncertainty surrounding the brand right now. This sort of cloud comes back over the brand every now and then, and it's had numerous "this is the last season", "the brand is done", etc production moments in its history. But knowing that doesn't make me...

And now that they've done Nemesis, the board is clear for Titan class Nightscream.

Gorgeous. I actually tracked this down instead of the recent Commander class redeco (and mercifully found it for less than that would've run me). Actually somewhat tempted to backtrack and get the Henkei one, despite having the Hasbro release. (Come to think of it, I did also get Tread Bolt at...

I likewise don't think Speilberg has anything to do with this still being a thing 16 years after it made its mark in the first film, and about 14 years since it stopped being interesting in the second.

If that's the case, I hope it's Silverbolt's design that is the base and not the other way around. They can do great things with partial retools, but sometimes the results are uneven with hard-to-ignore compromises (Elita/Minerva/Strongarm) and I'd rather my favorite BW guy dodge that bullet...
