That robot mode is gorgeous. It's really too bad the vehicle mode (which isn't terrrrible) looks nothing like his old Viper form. (And I know haterz gunna hate, but that original Side Burn toy remains one of my favorite TFs to transform. Yes, it's ridiculously fiddly, but there's a certain joy...

Anyone else digitally subscribed to Void Rivals through Amazon/Comixology and not get #8? Usually you get charged for an issue a week or two in advance, but it looks like my subscription hiccupped and paid for #9 early (two weekends ago) and skipped #8 entirely. I suppose at this point I'll just...

I'm sorry, but "Here's 12 new toys redecoed as 12 old toys"--while perhaps the sanest/safest course of action to take with a MW-themed convention set--is by far the most boring option.

Lunar-Tread (Siege Countdown recolor)?

I didn't mind the slowness. I think Ruckley wrote the slow buildup better than he did the action, which got a bit samey towards the end. I loved his penchant for grabbing characters from absolutely anywhere and mixing them all up. It would have been really interesting to see where he would have...

CatSCAN first, please!

I can get my Snarl's forehead to barely sit flush by messing with the ball joints of his legs (that are inside his head) but the right side still tends to pop out once everything else gets snapped firmly into place.

I went to download my issue #5 from Amazon, but it said the e-version won't be released until Feb 21st...?!

I was just recently going through my old X-Files and Marvel/X-Men trading cards, and thinking how I would be extremely tempted by a modern set of collectible cards. I wasn't expecting TFs to immediately read my mind...

RIP to one of the greats. His Marvel G1 run has to be the longest uninterrupted run for any TF artist, no? (#s 36 to 60, I believe?)

Legacy Slapdash confirmed???

How dare you, sir! Prime's disembodied head straight from the comics is the main selling point for this set.

I love the idea of Blue Bolts, but man, these don't look like that much of an upgrade from the originals. Like, I had to look real close at those renders of Fire Convoy's truck and super robot modes to convince myself they weren't the 2001 versions. (The smaller 'bot mode definitely gives it...

Yeah, it was revealed early on that DWJ was only doing the first 6-issue arc. I didn't realize he was continuing on as writer, though. (Definitely won't complain there!) The wiki described that as Reflector being rebuilt, which I mostly made out. My real question was, if Cybertronian tech is...

Loved issue #4. That final shot of Optimus was a shocker. LET'S GOOOOO
