Being a total outsider to these shows and their fandom, I think the response Sabr got for calling out the fantastically off subtitling is not so much because of the perceived quality or importance or lack thereof of the shows themselves. It might just be a kneejerk reaction to the nicheness of...

Yeeeesh.

I guess part of that depends on the store layout and how much of a crap the staff still give. But either way I think there's way too much of it around; who knows what the clearance period will look like. Although to be fair, they're aggressively keeping up with the Blokees waves. But yeah, not...

Yeah, that's another reason at the moment for dipping out. Sometimes it's distribution, sometimes it's whoever's running the store that just seems to shift focus to lines you're not into. One branch near me was great up to like Legacy Evolution, but now it's all Yolopark and Blokees and ONE...

I would be surprised if we didn't get a Windcharger and Powerglide in the next few years. They make sense for crossing off the list, and have plenty of redeco/retool potential. Windcharger wouldn't even have to be particularly novel; just do what they did with Beachcomber and enhance/upsize the...

Really don't want to be tempted by this guy, but I have such a fondness for Vector and the UT in general that I'm surprised I've held off on this, Hot Shot, and Starscream so far. Plus he looks better and better in photos I see of him. Those leg covers (and reprolabels?) really do help a lot. I...

I haven't been in one of these since I think before the big outage/s. Not coincidentally, my life has lacked meaning for about as long. Hmm.

At this point if I had a consistently good and well-priced online channel for entertainment and hobby stuff, I'd be getting my stuff mostly through that. (Amazon, BBTS, Pulse etc do ship here, but it's costly and will definitely add up.) As it is I already do most of my buying from specialty...

Yeah, there's still room for the traditional approach and the online approach. If only because for some contexts the former is the only really feasible option. Not even getting into the emotional side of things where it's satisfying to go out and see something you want in person -- for some...

I really appreciate this increasing trend from Hasbro -- while sure, it smacks faintly of "let's save a bit on producing stuff for the line", this practice of more frequent package refreshes has been helpful. Sometimes it's odd choices like Earthrise Arcee, but sometimes it's stuff that makes...

Blokees is on an absolute roll, having carved out their niche in Transformers in 2024 and having populated it with a wide range of Transformers from G1, the live-action movies, ONE, and more. Weibo user @NOTRAB shares pics of TF One Starscream (which has been listed in at least one outlet as...

Man, I hate that name. There are few better examples of juvenile, lazy fandom ideas. "Yellow! Call it piss, huh huh. Oh it's clear too? Even better." And it's never gone away.

To be fair, what Hasbro gave us was infinitely more affordable. And only that Megatron and Unit-3 (and I did want that Reflector and Airazor!) were really what I'd call worth convention prices. Some of the others were neat ideas or pairings of colors and molds that might have been nice from a...

I remember this too, and same with Takra's Mega/Voyager one. But I loved the Energon one once I got it. Kingdom pre-release and now SS86 pre-release photos are really carrying on that "what damn color IS this Galvatron" tradition. Also, maybe some company can just whip up an upgrade kit horn...

Burton's Megatron is generally the voice I TRY to play back in my head for IDW1 Megatron, but every time I rewatch Animated I'm reminded that the voice as is is actually too cold and mean to be the character's voice as he goes on his post-Dark Cybertron journey. I think McCann's Megatron takes...

The year won't end without at least one more surprise, as Hasbro has just revealed via the official Transformers Instagram that 2025 will feature an "updated Age of the Primes G1 Trypticon", in the form of an animation-based redeco of the Titans Return Titan class Trypticon! Preorders open in...

I actually like the colors on that Arcee mold in the first one. Maybe make the legs more purple as well.

The Return of Op-t-pose Prime

I don't want to know where the finger holes would be on THAT version.

I have this experience half the time transforming this, and a completely different and smooth one the rest of the time. Idk how that happens.
