    Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Reheated Leftover POTPie

    My biggest regret about Energon Towline was not trying harder to track down the Botcon Ratchet version of the mold. I got the Ironhide, if I'd have ponied up the money for a Ratchet, I could have saved a ton on the Universe and Henkei iterations of the characters. (For some reason that escapes...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    As Wheeljack, I'm not impressed. As a transforming VW microbus robot, I am mildly interested. As a figure that could probably be customized into a workable Mystery Machine with a Velma robot mode...Ima have to buy a couple of these. (And if they were going for a Steve Urkel look, the altmode...

    DC Toy Thread

    I wouldn't call Luthor shortpacked; I've seen several of him in 2 different Walmarts. When I did find Shazam, there were only 2 left. It would be interesting to know what the case distribution for these actually is, and if Walmart is packing the holiday trains, then someone is making the figure...

    Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Reheated Leftover POTPie

    Well, yeah, material and engineering costs figure a lot into what figures get done and how they are designed. IF money were no object, I would have preferred Earthrise Ironhide, for instance, to have the shield redesigned to closer approximate the battle sled. Maybe it could have had a flap to...

    Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Reheated Leftover POTPie

    There is a kind of magic in getting a cartoon-accurate Ironhide out of a Onebox van. On the other hand, I kind of miss the Battle Sled (since that's the only part of my original G1 Ironhide that survived long enough to play with...) If they had kept the battle sled in a toon/G1 toy hybrid...

    Star Wars/Dinosaucers mashup?

    Why do people only use the "Like" emoji but not the faces?

    I use Love, HaHa, and Wow quite a bit. A lot of the stuff I hit Like on, I might use other options if they were available, but the limited selection makes Like sort of a default acknowledgement reaction. Something like 🤔 or 🤨 I might use if it were an option. I would also be all for TF-specific...

    G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    So, for the last 3 years for Christmas, my brothers have put together a GI Joe photo story book for my son, Haywire 3. This year's story they've really gone all-out, using a lot more modeling and diorama techniques, and some pretty extensive set work. And most of the effects are practical...

    DC Toy Thread

    Between 4 different Walmarts, I have found 2 different assortments of the DC Heroes in the Holiday Train displays. Both have Superman, Wonder Woman, and bearded Aquaman, but I have seen some displays with several Lex Luthors and no Shazam, and one with a couple Shazams and no Luthor. I doubt...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    So, this is kind of a weird one, not sure how much of a repaint it would really be; long story short, I thought I remembered there was an instance where Menasor was named with an alternate spelling of Menasaur. According to the wiki, this is not correct, but it got the mental gears turning...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I don't know what it is about Battletrap's face, but I keep getting Cybertron Gigantion vibes from it; some amalgamation of Quickmix and Menasor, anyway. I really like the looks of that one, anyway.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Well, I'm not familiar enough with Marvel the comics, did Drax even exist as a character back when Marvel had the Transformers license? Regardless, the Transformers did intersect with the Marvel universe, or a Marvel universe, meeting up with black suit Spiderman (which led to the introduction...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I'm still trying to puzzle out that cameo. After all, Marvel did the Transformers comics back in the day, I would think if any transforming robot killed a relative of Drax, it would be a Transformer? Or at least Deaths Head. Gobots or Transformers, Hasbro would’ve had to sign off on the...

    End of the front page?

    I will second this; the front page loads very poorly for me compared to the forum itself, even after I upgraded phones. Because of this, I go directly to the forums, and only go to the front page when someone links to it in a post. Also, back when I used my wife's iPhone to read the Allspark...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    It seems like a decent-enough Medix. It would have been nice if they could have remolded the head to be closer to the Rescue Bots toy, but it does a fair job emulating the Botcon head, and the colors are kind of a blend of the 2. If it's not ungodly expensive to pick up, I will want to get one.

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Just to be clear, I would assume Darth_Prime's comment refers to where the movies are going, not the toyline. Last Knight already threw the 'earth-is-Unicron' card on the table, so I guess it remains to be seen if the writers remember that plot point and roll with it. But in general, yeah...

    Doubledealer Boo, what's the matter with you? You don't act like the other 'Cons do. You wear a Disguise to look like Autobot guys, But you're not a 'Bot, you're a Doubledealer Boo!

    Well, the 80s anime girl still had a distinct nose, so that begs the question, who or what have they been irresponsibly breeding with? 😱

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    Do we definitely know that it will transform? A playset of the Autobot or Decepticon bases, or for that matter, Maximal and Predacon bases, something to display at least some of the recent figures in might celebrate the brand without singling out a single character.
