    Gobots and Machine Robo News & Discussion

    Earlier in the year, BBTS listed a Drill Robo from Megahouse. It's slated for release in early 2023, so I don't think anyone has one yet to comment on the quality. As far as I know, this was the first anyone knew that someone other than Action Toys was doing Machine Robo. As far as extras, it...

    Gobots and Machine Robo News & Discussion

    It looks like the engine is on the back of the robot mode in the pic. Not sure how it gets there, there's no obvious point of movement, but if so, it would be a similar look to the original DX Bike Robo, where the engine (and wheels) rotated around the body to the back of the torso for robot mode.

    If you aren't subscribed to the Godzilla channel on youtube, I would check it out. Their Godzilla Fest 2022 is live. They just announced a (Shin) Godzilla 2 for next November, and they are showing off some really interesting stuff, like Akira Takarada's collection of scripts for his films...

    The last store I worked at, I brought in a bowl of durian-flavored candy, left it on the counter and sat back and watched the hilarity ensue!

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    On the one hand, I don't disagree with your overall point; the higher the price tag, the less likely Hasbro is going to risk a retail spot on an obscure character. Larger, more complex figures with little or no redeco potential like Deathsaurus are less risky for them as a Haslab. On the other...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'd buy them both, if I had the chance. If your attachment is to Minerva and Shuta Go, the human characters from the Masterforce fiction, I can understand why a non-headmaster version would be off-putting. Me, I'm much more into the transtectors' designs, so both figures would be acceptable to...

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    See, I would be down for that. A Core-scale Breastforce would be great for my Gobot-scaled collection, would acceptably scale to my Kabaya Deathsaurus, and would be affordable enough to pick up some extras for potential custom fodder. Be nice to finally retire the knockoffs with the...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    It wouldn't be an exact match, but there's also Quark: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Quark And, honestly, the mold would probably look good in any number of other color combos, there's just no previous character precedent for any others.

    HasLab Deathsaurus

    Yeah, based on that blurb, it sounds like a Deathsaurus figure was intended for Legacy, but that the size and complexity of figure they wanted to do was only going to work as a Haslab. It doesn't read like the figure we're being shown is the exact same figure that was planned for retail, though...

    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    Just watched the Speed Racer movie with the 4-year-old. That thing is a seriously underrated gem of a film. And then Haywire 3 asked to watch more, so we cracked open the original series, and he's loving it. ...passing an appreciation for the classics on to him makes me so proud!

    Prevailing theory seems to be its the Amazon Prime crossover mold that's been in limbo for a while.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    There was a Minerva Headmaster, available with Legends God Ginrai I think. Whether the new Minerva could be semi-easily modded to fit a Headmaster is perhaps a question for someone who has her?

    She was briefly on Hasbro Pulse as a premium exclusive, but already sold out. There may or may not be more available on Pulse later, but the listing does confirm its a Walgreens exclusive, so maybe keep an eye on Walgreens.com?
