Aaaaand I just discovered that there are two different European Robots in Disguise packaging variants?!? What the hell... This is the usual, totally unsurprising release of RID Rollbar in European packaging I already posted above: Texts are in English, French, Dutch and German. Just as...

Aaaaaand then there is the ever-changing Canadian French name for the Predacons. Now, European French/Dutch/German packaging always called them "Predators" for whatever reason (whereas Europen English/Spanish/Italian packaging called them "Predacons"). Canadian French, though? Initially, the...

Speaking of: The "Combiners" logo on 2001 RID packaging went through some changes. The first figures to feature the logo were the Team Bullet Train members, which were released as part of wave 2 of the "Mega" assortment. They all featured an English-only "Combiners" logo on their packaging...

This is weird: Apparently, the wave 1 2001 Robots in Disguise Basics released in Europe/the UK were just barely modidied trilingual American cardbacks (with texts in English, French and Spanish), with new European-market age labels, and stickers featuring Hasbro UK contact info on the back. The...

The markings on the Thrilling 30 Mini-Con Assault Team are all Leetspeak, though one of them is more of an oddball than the other two: On Windshear, we find "7H37A", or "Theta". On Runway, we find "VP51LN", or "Upsilon" aka "Ypsilon". And on Heavytread, we find "TVCB1D6", or... "TUCBIDG"...

Can corporate paychecks be used as a coolant?

TFw2005 user payres claims that Scourge, Bludgeon and the Dreadwind/Smokejumper two-pack were available at Toys"R"Us in the United Kingdom. Couldn't find any photos of Dreadwind in European packaging so far, but I did find this old TFormers news post: Update: Also this Toy News International...

There's this abominable right-wing extremist group called "Atomwaffen Division", which has horrible misogynist slogans such as "if it bleeds, it breeds". I'm starting to think those jackasses are not actually a mere fringe group.

Because unlike Republicans, most Democrats aren't complete monsters who are deliberately seeking opportunities to get their political opponents killed and getting away with it.

The answer is "yes".

I've been saying that ever since all those morons refused to wear masks just to "own the libs".

So I've been busy... the only thing I have to offer right now to keep this thread alive is something non-Transformers for a change, but still kinda related: M.A.S.K. In Europe, the packaging design was slightly changed to remove instances of weapons being fired. Compare the US Thunderhawk box...

Note that all of them are changed from their original releases. Jazz uses bright yellow instead of dark gold paint operations, Ratchet has more paint operations on his head, painted rims and a more accurate deco for his alternate mode (similar to the Takara Premium Finish version), Optimus...

Chris only claims that Brave Raideen was the first transforming toy. He doesn't acknowledge Space Explorer.

Jewish space lasers.

Was he black? If yes, it's still a victory for them. EDIT: He was. They just killed another black who would have grown up into a black man. Nothing of value lost to them, then.

Nah, blame the EU instead.

So what was the first combining robot? From what I could gather, the first fictional depiction was Getter Robo, but were there toys available that did include the feature? Or were GoLion (aka Lion Force Voltron) and Dairugger 15 (aka Vehicle Force Voltron) the first? Were the Diaclone...
