    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    Missing a ton of figures (No Earthspark or Decepticons, for instance!), but I wanted to get a pic in while it was still topical! (and, no, the location is not a statement, simply the best lighting in our basement) EDIT: almost forgot Nickel, so here's some Decepticons, too! EDIT 2: Anyone...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Has anyone done a Devastator with the purple and green swapped? I tried a Google search and came up with nothing.

    Yes, Tailwhip would do much better than Dropkick! Thank you!

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Smolder was one of the coolest characters to come out of PCC! I would team him up with movie Barricade, a theoretical Flatline, maybe BB Dropkick (for the helicopter, not a great fit...), and Road Pig or one of his redecos, and make a Decepticon counterpart team to the Protectobots! (Not a...

    Who should be Commander Class

    Tangential to the main discussion, but while I love the Deluxe Beast updates, I would absolutely re-buy every Beast in Core-class scale (LOVED the RotB Beast weapons). Not to scale with G1 characters, but to display with my Gobots. I also once envisioned a reimagining of the Pretender concept...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I've got the first 3 United Cores (E-Megatron, Tazmania Kid, and Bouldercrash) from the nearest Target to me. So far, that's all the United I've found.

    What would you want in a Transformers Playset?

    I guess what's ironic is that GI Joe, the original action figure, was created to get in on the action started by Barbie where you sold one doll (or figure), and then made bank selling the accessories and/or vehicles separately. It worked for 12" Joe, and it worked for the original ARAH 3-3/4"...

    "Cel shading? This Bad Comedy!" -Galvatron (sorry, I know, wrong medium) AE, Artificial Embellishment, maybe?

    What would you want in a Transformers Playset?

    For GI Joe, yes, and yet SpinMaster is cranking out vehicles for their DC figures all the time (granted, they're mostly different versions of the Batmobile, but still...) I really wish that Hasbro would revisit some of the big-ticket vehicles and playsets, too, but they could start small: For...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I like those colors on that mold, and it would rock as a redeco if he had a little Scorponok Battlemaster, but I think I would want a G1-ified Blackout run through the Animated filter first? Shorter legs, bulkier torso, I think I want a Blackout (and Lugnut, and Strika, if they were to happen)...

    What would you want in a Transformers Playset?

    FWIW, this is the same reason I still prefer GIJoe figures at 3-3/4"-4" scale over the pretty-to-look-at-but-also-larger Classified figures, as vehicles and playsets for the larger scale become prohibitively expensive and harder to store for all but the smallest things...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    My brain keeps translating that Junkion ship on the backdrop as a Junk-colored Cyclonus; something about the angle and perspective doesn't parse right in my head.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    To clarify, it is generally considered good etiquette here to try to post in an existing relevant thread if it exists. Sandstorm is a Legacy release, so posts about it should go into the Legacy thread that Sabrblade linked. (If you click the "jump to new" button at the top of the thread, it...

    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    I have taught my 5-year-old son an appreciation for the works of Weird Al; he is in the shower right now singing "I lost on Jeopardy" (not even his favorite song). Im...I'm not sure I have much left to teach him. His training is complete.

    What would you want in a Transformers Playset?

    For me, a Deluxe-scale playset would need to be a good display background and have a lot of accessories; things like Teletraan-1's room, Wheeljack's lab, Shockwave's tower, the Insecticons' hideout, etc. Honestly, I think a playset would lend itself more to Core-class scale figures. For those...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Liked because I like that deco on that figure, just not as RiD01 Scourge; I actually like the idea of Scourge sharing DNA with Optimus without being an outright clone (figuratively speaking).

    BotCon 2024: The 30th Wreckoning

    Since it's not on their site and I don't remember, what was the cost of the registration packages last year? Was there a discount for kids? Haywire3 will still be 5 in June, so I guess Im wondering if I should plan on going alone or could afford to bring him along?
