Honestly it's a little silly but I miss the 80s Marvel Comic era of toy shilling. Where Transformers and GIJoe books had to near constantly introduce new toys while telling their story.
It was one of those challenges that forced the writer to be more creative to tell stories around it. But...
The general guess is that Gears had that head pre-planed as an existing part of the mold so it was free to be used, but the BB mold didn't have a counterpart.
-ZacWilliam, I mean the Goldbug head is closer but also not exactly the G1 head, so shrug..
Ooh, ones we want them to make:
Botanica
Show-design BM Jetstorm
Scrounge
Spanner
A School Bus transformer
Any of the Autobot Pretenders besides Metalhawk
Headmaster Nightbeat, Siren and Hosehead
Beet Papil homage
King Solon
RiD 2015 Sideswipe
Azimuth (the Kronoform watch)...
I'm sure they'll do the Thunder Hawk right off, since it's THE iconic Mask thing. The obvious counterpoint to that is the Switchblade but it's notably bigger and might end up being pretty expensive at modern toy prices.
I hope they do the Condor and Piranha myself. Both are pretty small so...
For whatever reason despite loving he-man in general, I never got attached to the She-Ra characters very much until the modern Princesses of Power show. That show was easily one of the best things ever to come out of the MotU blanket. That's what I'm waiting for. Even if it was just She-Ra and...
Sentinel was very obviously being a fake superficial condescending dick to them even when he was saying the nice things. There is a real sense of underlying menace from him in that scene to the audience while the characters don't see it. That's a really strong scene because they don't see how...
I think Benji the Hunted was the only one I saw as a kid but he was enough of a "thing" that I knew who "Benji" was.
What surprised me as an adult was finding out he co-stared in a 1980 Chevy Chase comedy "Oh Heavenly Dog." Where in a weird meta bit Benji (the fictional dog actor) plays the...
My mom got us to one movie late as a child. Benji the Hunted. By the time me my siblings and I think a friend or two got there the movie was well started and the dog was already lost in the woods and we had no idea what was going on.
It was so deeply bothering to me as a kid that like 40 years...
I've got Filch cause I ordered her. No sign of any Star Seekers at any Walmart here.
-ZacWilliam, I won't be upset if I never see them, but it would be nice to...
All evidence says yes they are.
It would be kinda weird if any potential sequel did not deal with the Quintessons. They are the huge "dangling plot thread" of the film.
They're presented as this huge threat that conquered the planet easily and dwarfed the threat of Sentinel, treating him and...
Honestly I thought they did it a sight better than Anakin to Vader. One of my main problems with RotS was that the Fall never really felt right to me. Where as in this film the arc is stronger imo. The last step where he lets Orion fall is probably just a hair too abrupt, I'll agree, but on the...
I thought the joke was fine. It was mediocre the first time, yes, but obeyed the rule "repetition equals humor" and got funnier in subsequent uses. When he bellows it like a crazed war-cry in his first real battle it was actually quite funny.
-ZacWilliam, it seemed very in character for this BB...
I mean it's not the same as watching the whole play (which I got to do when it came to Hartford earlier this year. It was great.) but most of the main musical numbers have fan-made animatics online, some of which are very good.
-ZacWilliam, after seeing it I was saying it really felt like it...
The funniest fact about that origin is that Go-Bots kinda used it first.
-ZacWilliam, I mean about as well as Go-Bots did anything storywise but still...
