    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Thrilled to get Dan Mora, loved his work on Once and Future. Kirkman, I have my reservations, but we'll see how it goes.

    BotCon 2025 - June 12th-15th at Grand Wayne Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana (Again)

    Nice haul! I'm suddenly nostalgic for some Spychangers... You gonna open that Shadow Striker/Roulette or leave it MIB? Bit of a shame either way since they look so good in both modes, and the package is so nice... both really nice color schemes I'd like to see used again.

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    Still can't tell if that's a cyber key port on the front of the motorcycle. I suspect not since it wasn't mentioned, but we shall see...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Mostly just fighting, but at least one major plot point pushes forward.

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    I'm glad the G2 Dinobots exist, if only for nostalgia's sake (I had green Slag and blue Grimlock, but grey Snarl). Though I won't be getting them, already got the G1 ones, good enough for me. I'll be passing on most of this I think, though I'll probably bite on a G2 Aerialbot set (or some other...

    Leader-sized comics Fort Max!! Purple Soundwave!! Can't wait to complain they didn't get the shade right ;) (Also, I hope they're just 'normal' colors, didn't care much for the faux "comics shading" on the comics Grimlock and Shockwave we got.)

    Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    Question for all the MP experts... CoffeeHorse's pic here made decide to finally take the plunge and buy an MP Prowl. However, my research seems to indicate that only KOs come with two black launchers. As far as I can tell, the original Japanese release only came with one black launcher (and...

    Which way, western bots?

    Marvel comics decos! (sob) It kinda varies on a case-by-case basis though. I think in a vacuum, generally the toy decos are more vibrant and interesting, but sometimes I do want something that looks like the cartoon. Or I even just prefer the cartoon look, as Shadewing says. Kingdom Cyclonus...

    Studio Series discussion

    I wonder if we'll get a giant gun handle to re-enact Skybound Megatron's gun mode or if that's too risky even for 3P. Though I know there's already at least one 3D-print design out there for the Siege toy.

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    Grimlock's dinosaur front half looks like it fused the little T-rex arms with chonky Dinobot legs and he is rather surprised by this.

    Studio Series discussion

    I agree with Exatron that I think the main problem is the middle portion is shorter than it should be, and the area where it's missing (red line below) got 'given' to the back end, making it longer than it should be. If the middle chunk was as big as the yellow line it would look a lot better...

    Studio Series discussion

    Looks pretty damn good given the constraints of "make the G1 cartoon model turn into a tank." The three things that leap out at me are (1) lower legs too bluish, (2) fusion cannon looks weird, and (3) upper shoulders look weird. I do agree that the photo is likely oversaturated and the leg...

    Takara announces T-Spark: a transforming IDW Rodimus and more

    On the other hand, in order to be the torso, Razorclaw is twice as tall as everyone else and wearing a Predaking-sized diaper. That combined form does look pretty great though, and for most people I bet that's really the ultimate factor. It's the Macross-TF crossover as shown off here.

    Your Favorite Limb (or Torso)?

    Aerialbots (Superion): none of them really stick out to me but I'd probably go with Sky Dive for the reasons you mentioned. And he got some face time in G2 (in a sort of generic Furman "could've picked anyone for this role" way, but still). Silverbolt is honorable mention, the other three feel...

    Yeah TF #20 was a good return to form, finally lots of stuff happening again.

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X NFL)

    Those are cool, I'll definitely get a Raiders one if they come out with one (and I am honor-bound to hate at least 3 of those first 4.)

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Not sure when the info got posted to the Kickstarter, but it states the second volume is #47-80, TFTM #1-3, and G2 #1-12. So I suppose that fixes one potential problem for the Til All Are One combo - Goldbug will just get his UK origin since the GIJOE crossover is omitted. Kinda trying to...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Yeah the new one looks a lot more like Optimus but just swapping the red for Decepticon purple, plus some yellow-greenish highlights. The original scheme with the magneta, bluish-grey, and black looks so much better IMO.
