I'm generally willing to wait for how the Zords look and turn out, but so far I'm happy with the Shokugan Modeling Project offerings (just had to acclimate to the much smaller scale, but having a bunch I want in the same scale helps a lot), so these will have to be really interesting...

Go the Leinad route and call him Hcaoc.

I don't really collect the line, but the other Bravo class molds are better than this. Barricade (barring the hilarious Cars-like windshield "eyes") and Ratchet look pretty good, Optimus Primal delivers on the basic design very well, and the first Grimlock mold is passable. The (somewhat...

I think it tends to come down to a few factors, like "what is the current media going for" (Windblade was a product of an era that pushed for new elements, both at Hasbro and in the fandom; Elita is deep in a time when the focus is more on the roots than creating new things) and "what is easily...

Sure wouldn't mind an inner robot Magnus and a Pepsi Convoy out of the Earthrise mold. The main redeco I want out of the Commander class Armada OP is the Costco 2-pack hazmat one. I'm glad we're getting a Nemesis deco from the Animated one, but I'd love to see an Elite Guard colors one at some...

Maybe we'll see a Cyberworld display blocked by a bald man in a suit.

Interesting. More AOE and more concepts (and honestly toyline-only/offscreen characters) are things I've wanted since the line started. And really there's room for more Bay-era stuff in general. I don't urgently need new Dinobots in this area but they're not unwelcome. But give me all the KSI...

Magnifique.

Interestingly, there WAS a Bravo class Arcee, with iirc an entirely different mold and transformation.

Very nice. This was basically the violet shade I pictured (although huh, seeing that together with the model sheet shows I was a bit off then too). But teeny bit darker gray, and full colored wings rather than bordered. Still, oof, there's no de-greebling this guy. I really wish that particular...

BWAAAAAAAA BWAAAAAAA

I don't see Dramatic Capture Astrotrain as precluding a Hasbro release. That worked fine with Soundwave. Come to think of it -- and this may just be because the Galvatron colors have made it top of mind -- that purple on him seems a bit warm, which is odd for Takara who usually nails shades as...

Well, here's hoping.

I don't know. "Mecha anime" feels somewhat hollow as a term to throw in there, and I can't attach anything to it that I'd expect them to give sufficient weight to. Aside from the buzzwordyness of it, it just feels like it fits right in with the downward spiral the kid toylines have been on...

Oh, only one of these two will be staying...

I don't disagree that this is essentially what RID2015 did (I had to think about "regularly appearing characters not getting toys", but you're not wrong there). But the toyline was still pretty unsatisfying even given that. I think RID2015 was the first sign of that change in toyline styles...

Also, part of me feels we should really have gotten this one-scene-wonder Rodimus Prime disguise (not an animation error) from "The Ultimate Weapon" in SOME form by now...

Unsurprisingly (and fittingly, given who this is) the intrusive thoughts won. Purple vs. Violet: the Grape Escape

How much retooling would it take to turn Sky Lynx into the Giant Purple Griffin? CW seems like it'd be easier (and is already griffinish, being a winged quadruped) but not as giant.

I know that leaks have indicated we're getting a Sureshot, but I'd like to see a redeco of this concept Sunstreaker mold as him as well.
