I seem to recall issues years back where people tried to associate to each 07-series by number...but since NONE of the films used numerals and nobody could remember which came when...we all settled on abbreviations of the titles rather than by the numeric sequence.
Studio Series discussion
- Thread starter Paladin
- Start date
Never used the numbers myself; just figured this might work since this is how store listings tend to have it (the Bumblebee stuff in particular). And really, it isn't THAT hard to keep track of these, although it can be hard to remember TLK exists.
Stick a new head on that Sunstreaker and you've got a nice new Speedia resident. The wheels even kinda fit.
So the "replacement" for my screwed up SS86 Magnus arrived today. True to my prediction, it is something that I do not want and will have to get rid of:
Other than fitting with the SS86 theme, I'm not so sure that this lines up financially with what I spent on Magnus. But as mentioned in a previous post, they have my SS86 Magnus money, so what do they care?

Oof, yeah. That is not a fair exchange in any way, shape, or form.
Man, I can't see this as anything but an excuse to clear out old, unpopular inventory.
Especially since that very set is one of the specific TF items that Hasbro Pulse currently has listed on clearance.
So, which one is Ann and which one is Andy?
Meanwhile, Hasbro Consumer Care is ghosting me on my emails about my issue while telling the person from the retailer that I should reach out to Hasbro Consumer Care.
Really makes you feel valued, doesn't it? Nice to know that they stand behind their products
Prowl is Andy. C'mon, rescue vehicles and the like are my thing. This is well-established.
The abbreviations could be worse, I remember when due to some bad font choices, we were wondering why people were talking about "Transformers: Steve" and I admit to posting the MST3K video from youtube about "Steve" right after. But I am also bad at interpreting them anyway, when POTP was put up, I thought "Poo-TP?" which I guess made sense but I couldn't for the life of me see why they would say it like that, then I found out people were pronouncing it "Pot-Pie" which made no more sense but at least didn't require a BotBot team.
Woof, gamer series Sideswipe might actually be worse than the last one, and that was *dire*.
Sideswipe looks far better than the old FOC verison which was a retool of FOC Jazz, but that wasn't the worse figure in the world, just not the best either, thou Jazz did truly own that mold. The only problem with these Gamer figures so far, I would say is the gimmick of the weapon, my Optimus prime, his arm has a tendancy to come out when you don't want it to and it kind of anyoning.
Would it be too much to ask for people to drop a link when they start talking about something new in this thread (or really any toyline thread) so other people don't have to go out and search for it themselves or nah?

I don't think it's particularly good, but really don't understand the "worse than Stasrscream" reaction.
I ended up using a bit of nailpolish to thicken the peg just a bit to make it less prone to just falling off; but still removable.
