The almighty fuel auditor should come with a G1 Trypticon, modified so that any batteries you use with him only last for about 3 steps before it's time to call it quits.

I dearly wish I could get this. Sadly, we're now having to pay for an unplanned basement reno due to a sewage backup, so I don't think I can manage to afford it. ...Unless maybe I can sell some high-dollar items from my collection before the pre-order discount ends. I might have to check prices...

Could someone please remind me, wasn't there a leak of a non-comic-series leader Straxus? I'd like to get him, but I'd really prefer without the comic shading.

I'd been assuming that Optimus was a smaller version of the character just for this A-level assortment. But did I catch that right that they said they're scaling down all the TFOne characters for Studio Series? I.e., this is the primary TFOne Optimus, and all the characters will be scaled to...

...Did I just enter the Twilight Zone or something? The Netflix WfC series is the good show that makes up for disappointment over TF One? ...What!?

I like Vector Prime well enough as a new release of the Cybertron character. As a presumable preview of what to expect of the original 13 being the focus of the line the next couple years, he's a bit underwhelming. It suggests the 13 are just going to be normal Transformers, with nothing special...

Seems that MPM-15 will be announced Friday. I'm assuming Brawl. If so, really hope he comes with Frenzy to complete the cast from the first movie. https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=779196177765&spm=a21dvs.23580594.0.0.275c3d0de8FtRt&spm=a2141.7631565.tbshopmod-photo_retouch.0...

I expect that they're regular transformers, and this year's Vector Prime will be a preview of what we can expect from the rest of the range. I.e., similar to how CW Buzzsaw featured TR gimmickry, Vector Prime should give us an idea if there will be any patterns to expect from the remaining 12...

They really don't necessarily need to stick to TFTM for any accessories they include. E.g. Hot Rod came with his toy's guns, Starscream came with Megatron's chair from MtMtE Part 1, and Swoop is coming with swords for him and Grimlock. With those as precedents, they could certainly include a...

ER Optimus is a really good toy. Good enough that I'm not at all taking it for granted that SS86 will be any better. I'm sure it will have a bigger trailer if that's something you care about. But for the figure itself, if ER Op didn't have those extra bits on the legs from the carryover Siege...

Just the opposite for me. I love the N64, but I always wished the PS1 would have stuck more with 2D stuff. The 3D graphics just weren't good. Games like FF8-9 could justify it by being just way too big to ever work on the N64, but it's largely games like SotN and MMX4-6 that I associate with the...

Right after Buzzsaw.

I like this Swoop, but I'm still not crazy about the weapon situation. So we have to get comic Grimlock to get swords for all of them, Snarl's sword won't match the rest, and Snarl still doesn't get his gun. I think I'm going to just skip all that and hope there's some 3P set that gives them all...

I'll definitely be getting one. I'd love to get 4, or maybe even 5, but money and space are just too tight. Not sure if I'll default to displaying him as Leo or with the unique head. I'll probably headcannon him as a mimic who carries around all the weapons, but copies the style of the...

The back is pretty simple - just a black expanded PVC foam sheet. Not very exciting, but the storage rack I found on clearance has a nice finished look and is all black, so I decided to just have the back match the rest of the rack. I like the idea, but I think the problem I'd run into is that...
