And this is why we're getting three more incremental Galvatron redecos that year.

It works much better if it's IN the box though

And a pink or magenta one, please, with an IDW Arcee head.

I love clear plastic in general (light piping and clear energy weapons are among my favorite gimmicks), but I've realized I can take or leave it when it's vehicle windows. (And honestly it's funny how the pendulum has swung back -- fandom demands clear windows, gets them... and then starts...

Really wish they'd chosen (or been able to choose, idk) the Trashmaster mold as a base instead. Seeing Dreadwing there and noticing that between him and Thundertron, Legacy's from-scratch remakes of Prime designs have now more than once gone very big on shoulder pads. Like the originals HAD...

That Optimus doesn't look too bad. Robot mode is okay, although the truck mode is pretty bad. Either way, a relatively easy skip. Are they bringing back plastic panel windows? One shot of Sentinel in box seems to have one. Plus it would help keep box integrity with these fairly large windows.

Well, that's disappointing.

That's a big box window. And they're not even labeling it Gamer Edition anymore?

It does make sense, in that it's a "real" or at least more familiar word, and in that he is on the Dark Side of the Force...

First of all, it's preferable to me because, given the choice, I find a new character more interesting to work with than the same character dressed differently. And that's preferable to me for the different storytelling possibilities it affords, rather than just because "that's what we got." I...

I did grow to like Silverstreak. Glad they brought it back and I hope it keeps getting use here and there. Now do Shockblast, Blastcharge, Blastwave, Decepticharge...

It really is like poetry, it rhymes. Once he introduced the world to Dark Vader, all bets were off.

This reminds me of that one fan contest a 3P company had to name their OSKO of Studio Series Blackout. As you do. The list of "top 10" entries was loaded with various combinations of Night and Shadow and Blade and Dark and Demon -- not even any fancy synonyms or wordplay, just literally those...

I think that really speaks to two things that we now know to be staples of how things were done then -- one, they weren't quite thinking of these storyworlds and characters as an enduring franchise yet, and two, relatedly, they were firmly set on clearing the roster and introducing a new cast...

I remember getting it just to have a Sky Lynx. It was unfortunate that he couldn't do the full two robot modes thing, but it was a good looking compromise. Earthrise Sky Lynx was a great flex of what the Commander class could do, and the handling on the show was very "of COURSE that's how this...

Lot of fun ideas to mull over in here so far. The whole "Magnus armor as life support" thing makes me think of a scenario where Optimus is written off as "dead" and the next arc debuts new leader Ultra Magnus, who is not shown to transform until much later and then not frequently. He's later...

Wall of text warning. I'll put it behind a spoiler... I needed a boost of positivity after being sick and just... the enormity of this week, and I realized I'd put off writing this response for a while, so here goes.

Just crossed my mind that it would be hilariously circuitous and oddly apt for Rung to turn into a Neuralizer.

And it's plausible too, in a "Clark Kent disappears in an emergency that Superman then shows up to save us from" kind of way. "We have some dockworkers unaccounted for! Dion, Orion P-" "Never mind that right now. Who's that red and blue beefcake jumping off those rooves"?" Maybe if he were...
