Okay, the game definitely suffers from "You know the rules already, right?" syndrome. The actual mechanics are spread out and hard to find (and the index is utterly useless for the purpose), which usually happens when the writers have been using the system for a while. "Essence 20" is...

I ordered it ages ago and it finally arrived in the mail this week. It looks like they're taking most of the deep history from IDW's first continuity (but a tiny bit from the Ruckley version), trying to fold in most of the G1 cartoon, and bits and pieces from Prime/RiD and Cyberverse, so that...

I agree that the sudden escalation of that one plot point was a bit too abrupt. It'd have been nice if there'd been a smaller example of it in a previous episode, as foreshadowing that it might actually verge into the fantastic rather than just being the more common mundane version. ---Dave

Nope, wave 6 (Galvatron and Shockwave) only just showed up here last month. None of my regular sighters have seen even that much. ---Dave

Fourth and final Dark Ranger, Colonel Chondrite is Amari with Drone arms and a lot of putty. Rocky texture from snow putty filed down a bit. And here's a group shot of all the Meteor Empire forces: ---Dave

I liked S3, it wove together several plots of both galactic and personal scale, but then in S4 it felt like the writers had no real idea where to go with the characters after that, so they blew up a bunch of stuff and went back to the Michael Show. ---Dave

(It's an index.)

I suspect Jen's expenses have gotten higher too, impressive that she actually has $8K in savings. Hulk-sized clothing ain't cheap. ---Dave

I got a bunch, and despite my comments about the first episode I did stick it out and watch the rest of the season. Here's my reviews of a few of the toys. https://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/misc/DICE1 https://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/misc/DICE2 ---Dave

Decided to give him his rollerskates. ---Dave

Any anger they have felt on her behalf was overwhelmed by fear felt on their own behalf. Behalves? Whatever. Once the immediate crisis cools down, a lot of them are gonna be ready to tear Intelligencia a new one. ---Dave

The rapid response at the end suggests that it was part of the setup (either knowingly or as patsies), and even if Jen had kept her cool they'd have moved in on some pretext. ---Dave

Nah, I mean even the G4 contradictions. At what point would Discord have been trapped in a mirror by the sisters? Celestia turned him to stone, and after his intentional release and rehabilitation there was no point during their reign when he would have needed re-trapping. After sealing away...

The continuity issues are a sign that this is an alternate universe, deliberate in-universe misinformation, or just lazy writing. ---Dave

Yeah, I picked up the Smash Changer last week as well, at Target. I was wondering why it looked movieverse. ---Dave

I opened it and assembled the combiner. Windrazor is probably the worst victim of cheapening, but Rippersnapper's head doesn't pop off, which is something every single official version of that mold suffers from. Joints are kinda loose, but pegs are solid. And yes, the legs are "wrong" but I'm...

Most blatant knockoff I've seen at a regular store in a while, found at Family Dollar: ---Dave

Third of the Dark Rangers, Commander Crater is too stupid to think of betraying Diabolide, but also not smart enough to be very effective, he ends up on a lot of diversion missions. He's not intended to be seen without the helmet, but since gluing it onto the head would have made assembly very...

I thought so...I only follow him on facebook, but it's hard to tell height from a seated position and they could've put him in a wig. :) ---Dave

I'm pretty sure his seven lady friends fund the place. (Interesting that none of them showed up, though.) Note, I'm pretty sure that was not Dan Slott himself driving the Slott's Towing truck. ---Dave
