A purchase from FCBD at my local shop. They obviously had him a while.

The original Soundwave toy's transformation: Often imitated, never duplicated, and damnit they tried.

No pics as I'm tired, but I recently found my (incomplete) collection of the 2003 Fleer "Transformers Armada" trading cards and started putting them in card sleeves. I hope whomever organized the card's placement was ******* fired! (Warning: VERY Picky pettiness ahead! Was probably covered when...

The FCBD 2024 "Energon Universe Special" came out today, with 3 short stories for the 3 books: Transformers, Void Rivals, and (upcoming) G.I. Joe:

I mean, while the spirit is petty and mean, that actually took some thought. Still, don't be hating on '23 Metroplex for not doing the things, or for not even being, the '14 version of the '86 guy when all the flaws fall on the company who forced the creators to compromise. tl;dr: Don't hate...

Or, since he (PxC) resides in Japan, just refer to him as "Megalo Convoy"?

Same. but then, Mattel probably already have the molds and the rights to the vehicles used in 84-85. So aside from new bottoms they probably won't need to make too many new pieces which save Mattel a cubic butt-load of money.

Literally the ONLY G1 toy I got during G1 that actually survived. (I also have Action Master Blaster, but saying he 'survived' would be generous.)

That's the thing, I don't want new hands and I certainly don't want a new Drillbit. I wanted the ability to use the 2005 Metroplex's Mini-con and Cyber key on the Legacy Metroplex. Simple ports for Drillbit and a random clip that coincidently is the perfect shape to hold a planet key. You...

A Third Party add-on for the Classics Seeker had Leader-1-ish head and wing hinges (in addition to THAT Crown, THOSE shoulder pads, and a cape), and I decided to go with the second scheme to cut down on the painting. Just had to cannibalize a Generations Thundercracker and Dirge for parts...

So LG Vector Prime comes with a Cyber Key and can support the original's Mini-con. Hasbro just keeps giving titan Cyb Metroplex reasons to cry.

Well, the Legacy Vector Prime looks like a younger Vector Prime. Good for some timey-wimey shenanigans. Reading comments elsewhere about the walmart Cybertron Skywarp: they're calling it a recolor of the LG CYB Starscream, granted there is precedent for that, but "Cybertron" Skywarp to me is...

A convention over the weekend allowed me to add a few more signs to my books, 2 of which I've waited 20 years to get.

Might even be able to buy the exact coloring book and lunchbox used in "Spaceballs". (Not the used-in-movie ones of course) Also when this was announced, Rik Alveraz probably experienced a sudden cold sweat.

Okay, I have put everything with everyone I have and I still have a few missiles I can't place.
