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...

I'm interested in finally getting a G1 Shockwave. One of the reasons I've always been reluctant is just how big he is compared to the other main bots I'd have him with. I don't suppose anyone ever made an undersized KO that would be closer to Megatron or Soundwave's height?

I'm building a new display case as part of a basement remodel. It's largely intended to finally have a good display space for Unicron, so it's pretty big - 4' wide and 2' deep. Unicron's going to dominate the upper half of it. For the lower half, I want to set up a display of my Decepticon army...

Still feels kinda weird not backing a TF HasLab, especially right when I'm finally setting up a place where I can properly display them. But he's just too big. There's no place I could add him to any part of my collection where he would fit in, and I have no interest in him as a standalone...

My favorite scenes: G1 - The fight between Optimus and Megatron in Heavy Metal War. TFTM - So many scenes. Such heroic nonsense. The Optimus/Megatron fight. The reformatting. The coronation. Unicron's transformation. Arise, Rodimus Prime. BW - Megatron rising from the lava in his new dragon...

On the topic of Insecticons, BBTS just got a restock on Shrapnel and Kickback, among others, in case anyone missed them.

Pre-orders are now live on Pulse.
