"Farm Blazing Fork!"Spell check doesn't catch everything, you know...
So, in keeping with my previous thought about vehicles with animal robot modes, someone ought to make a set of 5 vehicles that all turn into robot lions, and then combine into one humanoid robot. It could be Vehicle Voltron and Lion Voltron simultaneously!
We could call him Vehicle Lion Combiner, or 'VLC'. His special power is he can play nearly anything.
And the fork was my attempt to find something that would look like a farm implement. My FAILED attempt, sure, but...

And World Events Productions would sue!
These damn things are addictive.

That depends upon the final form of the robot and its look, because the copyright otherwise wouldn't apply as combining robots are dime a dozen and not just exclusive to TF, PR & Voltron, as there is a LOT of combining robots out there, espeically in Japan, where Voltron comes from in the first place along with PR robots
the Cyberjets were some of my favourites because they could actually strike a pose
It's funny, because some people are like "Kids don't care about posability! Hey, kids, you don't care if your fighting robot toys can't shoot at each other unless you pick them up and point their feet at the enemy, right?" "We--" "See? They don't care."
Glorious as this is, it brings to mind a question: Are those leg panels beneath the top of the ramps supposed to be tilted down? I see a lot of pics where they're like that, and I'm not sure if that's meant to go that way, or if it's just gravity and hinges that can't support the weight.
To be fair, that was when they took over the main line, rather than supplemented it.
You know that Transformers with Mega Man-style proportions are totally my jam.These damn things are addictive.

Yeah. I missed Action Masters myself. Heck, I've never had one. They look fun though. I can see the appeal.
I can also see why everyone hated them though. Not only did non-transforming figures supplant actual transforming toys in the line, but it was the swan song for G1 in North America. For a lot of kids and fans the line abandoned its central conceit out of desperation and died.
I get why Action Masters got the flack they did with that context.
Other lines- like Blokees- have come along to prove that the idea has value, it just can't supplant the main line.
The biggest failure with Transformers Red was that they were just... kinda low quality.
It's unavoidable. The instructions don't mention it at all, it's just gravity and hinges in tandem.
Funnily enough this is my first go around with the Power Master Optimus Prime/God Ginrai mould.
I vaguely remember that my childhood PMOP's leg flaps stayed up in base mode. But it's been a long time, I'm not sure what bin what's left of that toy is in down in the basement, and even if I could find it, age might've loosened the joints enough by now that they wouldn't stay up anyway. Or rusted the pins enough that they'd stay up from the increased friction.
Sixo has a review up of Fire Guts God Ginrai and the flaps droop in base mode on his. May just be orange plastic not wanting to cooperate.
"Bloody good day for a turbofox hunt! Tally-ho, lads! Chop Chop!"
"Shoot him..."
"On it."
"Shoot him..."
"On it."
Careful yours doesn't end up breaking like mine did (well I don't have Fire Guts, I just got the regular God Ginrai reissue)
Mind you it didn't break in a way that ruined the toy or whatever, it still works and looks fine but it still did break.
