    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    At this point I would love a GI Joe that was informed by, uh, National Treasure. Like work some history bits and lore in there, make it about exploring and searching for something (treasure, a Macguffin like the Abernathy axe, etc) with minimal military presence. Lead with a movie that's driven...

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

    I MAY need a Primus, because a while back I got the very pretty Takara 2010 one but never got to open and display it because of a move. And since then I've discovered via the wiki that apparently he has one of those crumbling metal-flake plastic diseases, so I've just left him in the box...

    That would be neat. I haven't been able to get Legacy Junkions, sadly (I did manage to get Tow-Line and eventually Road Pig), but I want to backtrack and get them later on. I've been hooked on the idea since Weaponizers were introduced. (In another universe I imagine the third part of the WFC...

    I kinda want to get the TAV Insecticons for the cartoon colors, so they can be smaller clones of the Legacy ones. I support the idea of a Targetmaster Hot Rod in whatever line. They can revisit that canceled toy colors one, or do the AKOM colors the MP did. Use either Siege Firedrive or a...

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

    This is actually a still from the super dark and edgy fan remake of TFTM1986, where Prime does that double axe handle haymaker thing to Megatron, except it's 122% more badass because he has a sword and cuts Megatron across the chest and wires and oil and oh man it's gory AF please like our...

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

    I remember the reveal of Masterpiece OP and Alternators Smokescreen. I wish I could backtrack and reread the threads here and elsewhere (or that I had the energy to go through the steps that entails), because the pure amazement and gushing that fans had at the time was magic and should be...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I think it's workable enough on a per-story basis (response and travel time alone would be a big card to play), but it's not the sort of thing that can keep happening that way and just be ignored. Before long it's "some highly trained special mission force, lol". But like I said and to your...

    And Zordon has a brother, Zoidon, who built the Zoids, so we can work even more stuff into this...

    And now I'm looking at some photos where he hews even more blue, which looks good. I guess it's somewhat fitting for THIS goddamn mold to be an optical illusion as always, given how badly it played with visual perception when it was first, first leaked.

    I'd try to pay $200. Eventually, I might even be able to.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    It's always tricky having GI Joe and Transformers coexist in the same universe because the latter element escalates things immediately. It's hard to isolate and ignore it for the sake of telling GI Joe stories. They're the elephant in the room that always has to be acknowledged because why would...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'll be honest, that was almost entirely facetious. I mainly don't like the replacement, with an immediate distaste for it that isn't strictly rational. But here's my current entirely subjective best effort at pinning down why. I mean, the idea alone that you have to go back and "fix" this...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Oh, that doesn't affect me at all. I've long known to try and keep Alvarez' ideas at arms' length. He might as well have come up with "Muscular Aardvark Saves Kalamazoo" and I'd be like of course he did. That might actually be less dumb than this one.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    It stings because I really really wanted a MASK comeback. But it always made more sense as something that could happen as a subset of GI Joe (an impression helped along by the Matt Trakker they did for 25th) rather than as one of many things they spun up out of nothing and then expected people...

    Totally get that. The only thing I'm sure on is Hatchet. Passing on Skywarp, still mulling over which scorpion colorway, and Galvatron I'll consider quite a bit down the line. And i agree, it's nice to have a gap in the buy list. It's a relief. But I'm glad Hatchet is finally getting made.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Oh, those can just be picked out in gold chrome or glow in the dark paint, and the rest of the helmet will be painted in dark colors (to match the movie shot) so they really stand out. The smoke effect will 3mm peg into the mouth.

    On Gimmicks and Transformers: What works?

    I forgot to mention Cyber Keys and the like. On the one hand, I'd rather not have clunky weapons and main figure-compromising spring-loaded features (Override). On the other hand, when it's well-integrated (Hot Shot) or split off into the accessories (Ransack, Thunderblast) I can deal. The...
