I like the geometric chevrons on Starscream's chest evoking layered robes. Just a nice detail. Where does Optimus the Ox-and-cart rank on the list of weirdest Transformers? That's a pretty unique alt mode and I hope to see more oddball stuff like that.

I didn't realize this was a common sentiment among fans. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I really like Kingdoms Airazor, and the two ROTB Airazors were good. Am I going to be crucified for saying I like Earthrise Nightshade? And let's be honest, this bird Starscream isn't much worse...

Newsprint and halftone/Ben Day dots. I don't think the old comics stand up to modern printing and "fancy" papers. They need the "grit" of the older techniques to really make it look good.

Did I hear something about Japan Post not shipping to the US because of the tariffs? How will that effect Amazon.jp orders? I just started using Amazon Japan when the Wild King stuff came out. I've got a pre-order in for Missing Link Nemesis and I'm wondering if I should cancel it and order from...

Just like G1 Soundwave! A nice amount of detailing there. A few lines on the arms, some greebles on the outside of the legs, and a bunch of stickers I would like to see as lightly-sculpted details. The NF one does that nicely for me.

Cyberworld Snarl is a piece of junk.

Horn/tusk swap. Verdict: the curvy ones looks great on both figures and the straight ones look doofy on both figures.

Does the cab include new engineering in the legs to allow the feet to swing back in super mode? The picture on the right makes sense, but I don't know what's going with the left's big white panel. Edit: the picture on the left is just bad photoshopping: it looks like a big white panel but it's...

Exactly. The thighs on mine are also fine. It has been documented here on this message board. Therefore, it is not universal. Incidentally, where has it been said that the thighs are actually tight at all, outside of the wiki? I'm happy to believe it, but I haven't exposed myself to any reviews...

Absolutely agreed. I will say, however, that the wiki's absolute claim that "the thighs are tight," is still false, because it is not universally true. If it said "some copies have tight thighs," or whatever, that would be okay. Even better is to cite a source. Where did that claim come from...

I find that the wiki is sometimes overly cautious. The wiki states OP's thigh swivels are "extraordinarily tight." This is not true. I didn't even know the toy had thigh swivels until I read that, so I tried them out, and they're totally fine. Needed to "crack" the joint, but after that, it's...

And it uses the USS Flagg as a surfboard.

I've been on a Nemesis kick lately, so... (Should he have the Megatron/Skeletor check armor?)

The smartest idea: spend no money. I once tried to stop buying Transformers around the time of Cybertron, but now I'm just sad I don't own half of those Mini-Con repaints, lol.

Yeah, planning finances is a hoot with BBTS. Maybe the preorder will come in and they'll charge it in February, or maybe it'll be March. Or April... I cancelled MP Lift-Ticket at BBTS (still on pre-order) and got it from Entertainment Earth. Same price, but free shipping. Arrived yesterday. The...

Question: what sites do you typically use for preorders? Many years ago, I used robotkingdom or HLJ. I used TF Source for a long while. I used to use Pulse all the time, but so often now, the perorders sell out too quickly for me. I've been using BBTS for the past few years, but I'm getting a...

I know this isn't going to change anyone's opinion, but the ladder is designed to attach like this: I think it looks a little cleaner this way.

Just some innocent gator wrasslin'.

Does anyone know if Swapticons Alligator Megatron's robot mode is referencing anything? The lower legs could be a design nod to the BW figure, but nothing else lines up.
