    Or: Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip It started from this metal planet Aboard this shiny ship. The mate was a mighty Dinobot, The Skipper proud and sure Five Dinobots took off that day On a three hour tour A three hour tour...

    Studio Series discussion

    My preferred scale is roughly Gobot/Legend/Legion/Core, so with that in mind, most of the original combiners work just fine for me. Hasbro, on the other hand, favors a scale centered around the Deluxe, and so I've picked up some combiners here and there to interact with figures that are only...

    There's six Constructicons, but 2 are being sold in one box, right? So technically, both are correct.

    New "Wildocking" Animal Limb Combiners from TakaraTomy

    This has my attention. I wonder, are the Beasts actual limbs, or power-ups/weapons? Much more interested in the Beasts than Optimus or Megatron at the moment, so I wonder how well they work as stand-alone figures?

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    To be fair, there is also a distinct line between 'retool/pretool' and 'shared engineering'. If a transformation works, there's no rule that says two distinct molds can't have the same transformation design. We've just gotten so used to the practice of pre-planned shared molds that the automatic...

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I mean, soon is a relative term. I feel fairly confident in saying we're getting Studio Series Elita-1 sooner than, say, Studio Series Leader-1 or Cy-Kill, for instance (both of whom severely need screen-accurate updates, but seem bizarrely passed over by Hasbro...)

    On the one hand, I'll probably regret not buying these Constructicons if I get the chance. They are likely to be THE hot ticket from Studio Series in the coming year. On the other hand, I have a set of original Constructicons, as well as a couple different knockoffs, and the Energon...

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I am going to try and get one of those, too, but Studio Series is kind of an overall line that covers many movies and games. I'm talking more about the specifically Transformers ONE branded Prime Changers, which is the movie tie-in line. It just seems weird to me that half of the main cast is...

    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    Ectotron: Halloween parties for Transformers are awkward. Robots in Disguise in disguise? I never can decide what to go as. A Gobot? A T-800? An anime character? What costume are you going to use, Gigawatt? Gigawatt: I'm already in costume. I'm going as a Man DeLorean.

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    So, I was walking through the toy aisles at a nearby Walmart (as one does), and they still have the cardboard 4-sided display up for ONE figures, and it occurred to me: the Prime Changers are pretty much the movie's main line, and we've only got 2 of the film's 4 main characters in it. Elita-1...

    Studio Series discussion

    I am one fan who is down for new character toys, but I am also a big fan of characters with shared body types; I like the Seekers, the Super Datsun Bros., the Bee/Cliffjumper minibots, etc. Budget permitting, I would love molds in as many color combinations as possible, and if some of those are...

    I pre-ordered Hatchet. I'm not a big fan of the Bayverse or that aesthetic, but darn it, I'm a sucker for a vehicle that has an animal robot mode.

    G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    I do recognize the reality of what you're saying; a lot of people rely on streaming and the Tube of You for their TV viewing. Physical media is not as financially viable as it used to be. However, the thought of letting someone else curate what I watch always reminds me of this: Not saying...

    G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    On the one hand, that makes sense. On the other hand, the previous M.A.S.S. device was a build-a-vehicle with parts spread out over 5 sets and 3 additional figures, and by all accounts was fairly difficult to complete (though I somehow managed to have a complete one and I don't recall any undue...

    On Gimmicks and Transformers: What works?

    So there have been a few varied discussions on the board that got me thinking about gimmicks on Transformers. There have been some great ones over the years, and there have been some...less than great ones. To start with, the idea of a toy that transforms, sorry, CONVERTS from one form to...

    Excited for Hatchet! It's a character I would love to see crossed over into a Generations aesthetic, but this looks cool! Wish we got more Transformers with beasts for robot modes.
