WHICH 2016 clown panic?
@  NotVeryKnightly : (28 February 2021 - 07:22 AM)

Didn't that come right after the 2016 clown panic? No way to make clowns not disturbing at the time, surely.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:26 AM)

The clown guise is supposed to lure kids in, it's no good if it looks sus in one glance.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:15 AM)

The new one tries too hard to be unsettling from the start. Curry's look is just a plain old clown, until he very much is not.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (28 February 2021 - 04:14 AM)

And Curry has a far more disturbing look at times than the newbie.
@  Sabrblade : (28 February 2021 - 02:22 AM)

And the original was a showcase of Tim Curry's delightfulness as an actor. 'Nuff said.

It just depends on what it is. It is preferable to take it to P&R though. But sometimes current news as it's happening is less restrictive.
@  fourteenwings : (24 February 2021 - 12:18 AM)

Huh, good point (x3)
@  ▲ndrusi : (23 February 2021 - 11:46 AM)

Yeah. 1. People treat it like Twitter. 2. There's no "take it to P&R" since there's no P&R for the Shoutbox. 3. There's similarly no way to avoid either subjects or people in the Shoutbox since there's no division and it doesn't respect the ignore function, so people end up engaging when they normally wouldn't.
@  fourteenwings : (23 February 2021 - 10:56 AM)

Is there something about the Shoutbox that just means we get politics taking over the thing at least once a week?
@  wonko the sane? : (23 February 2021 - 08:26 AM)

At least your government is willing to talk about the collapsing medicare system. In quebec, their ignoring it in favour of talking about language again! Oh, and unconstitutionally denying access to eduction.
@  Shockwave 75 : (23 February 2021 - 07:52 AM)

At least here in my home province of Ontario we have a conservative gov't who doesn't want to cuz $$$$, but the argument is that they'll end up paying in medical care anyways for those sick people so why not?
@  Shockwave 75 : (23 February 2021 - 07:51 AM)

We have paid sick leave here in Canada too, but it's not very much and not everyone has it. So we're trying to get the gov't to extend it, and give it to everyone.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:23 AM)

The only reason people still go to work despite being sick is because they feel emotionally obliged to serve their employer.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM)

Some people abuse the system by somehow getting sick with a different plague every five weeks.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM)

Those six weeks are out of the employer's pocket by legal mandate. If you're still sick after those six weeks, the health insurance company takes over the payment.
@  Nevermore : (23 February 2021 - 02:19 AM)

That's the good thing in Germany - we have legally mandated paid sick days. Six weeks (!) for a single cause (consecutive or recurring, as long as it's the same cause; reinfections long after the fact don't count), Everytime the employee gets sick with a new cause, another six weeks start.
@  tigerhawk : (22 February 2021 - 04:48 PM)

That's how my family got sick, my brothers a teacher, he has a class for expelled students, they gave full attendance these past few lockdowns out of sheer boredom, they can turn in sick and break isolation and he nor the other staff, who also got sick, couldn't do anything about it.
@  TM2-Megatron : (22 February 2021 - 03:03 PM)

Yeah, pretty sure the only reason people don't stay home when they're sick is that the vast majority of society lives paycheque to paycheque, and they can't afford even one missed day of work.
@  -LittleAutob... : (22 February 2021 - 11:27 AM)

That's unfortunate... I know masks can be annoying, but I think not being able to breath comfortably for a while is better than actually having the virus and not being able to breath at all. bUt Oh, pEoPLe dOn'T bELiVe ThE dAmN vIrUs Is rEaL
@  wonko the sane? : (22 February 2021 - 08:28 AM)

Hahahaha! Oh, you're serious. Yeah, no one is going to do that. Far too many are in positions where they simply cannot afford the time off, and most of the rest are the kind who won't wear the mask in a global pandemic, never mind when they alone have the sniffles.
@  Shockwave 75 : (22 February 2021 - 08:20 AM)

I just hope a take-away from this will be for people to stay home when they're sick, and if they have to go out, wear a mask so as not to spread their illness.
@  TM2-Megatron : (21 February 2021 - 08:25 PM)

I think it's mostly the masking that's kept the flu season down so much, and that's unlikely to be kept up for that long. I'm sure there'll be some people who keep wearing masks for years after this, but I suspect a larger number are anticipating people able to toss them once vaccinations are complete.
@  wonko the sane? : (21 February 2021 - 05:27 PM)

Same in canada. Doctors report it to be basically non-existant. I kinda hope they keep some stuff up after everyone is vaccinated. Like hand sanitizer at store entrances, and actually cleaning the shopping carts.
@  tigerhawk : (21 February 2021 - 05:17 PM)

On the plus side cold and flu cases are down 80% this winter thanks to lockdowns, or at least that's the case in the UK.
@  Hg Dragon : (21 February 2021 - 04:37 PM)

@  Bass X0 : (15 February 2021 - 04:07 PM)

@  Sabrblade : (15 February 2021 - 12:04 PM)

Heh, that new Binaltech comic that Ichikawa wrote for one of the Japanese Generations books even had the other Dinobots make fun of Grimlock for his "Autobot Car" body.
@  wonko the sane? : (15 February 2021 - 12:03 PM)

They got that rescue bot grimlock that turns into a motorcycle. That's... pretty neat...
@  Otaku : (15 February 2021 - 11:35 AM)

Just to make Grimlock feel more "wrong", they even highlight how his character just seems ill-suited for a sports car alternate mode in his own backstory.  Hindsight is 20/20, so I now wish they'd made a T-rex that transformed into a sportscar.  Still probably would have been as much or more of a pain to transform, but at least it'd feel more like Grimlock. :D

If The Leak was correct, it's voyager Ironhide.


The numbers go "all wave 1s, all wave 2s, etc.", so Ironhide in Voyager wave 3 would have a higher number.

Deluxe wave 1
01 Bumblebee
02 Decepticon Stinger
03 Crowbar
04 Autobot Ratchet

Voyager wave 1
05 Optimus Prime
06 Starscream

Leader wave 1
07 Grimlock
08 Decepticon Blackout

Deluxe wave 2
10 Autobot Jazz
11 Lockdown

Voyager wave 2
12 Decepticon Brawl
13 Megatron

09 is thus presumably something that will come out alongside wave 1, which a TRU exclusive probably would.

Amazon listings. Oddly, I couldn't find the wave 1 Deluxes or Voyagers or any of the Leaders, but wave 2 and 3 stuff is there.

Deluxe Class wave 2 Autobot Jazz
Deluxe Class wave 2 Lockdown

Deluxe Class wave 3 Bumblebee (code name "Stryker 1", confirmed as "TF6 Bumblebee" via Amazon Italy, so presumably the Volkswagen Beetle from the Bumblebee Movie)
Deluxe Class wave 3 Ratchet (possibly a Dark of the Moon redeco)
Deluxe Class wave 3 "Bluelight" (code name; listed as "TF 6 Blue Light 1" at Amazon Italy, so this is someone from the Bumblebee movie)
Deluxe Class wave 3 "Mercenary" (code name)



Voyager Class wave 2 Megatron
Voyager Class wave 2 Decepticon Brawl (listing says "Deluxe", this appears to be an error originating with Hasbro since he's also listed that way at ACD Distribution)

Voyager Class wave 3 Ironhide

A Nitro-based Thundercracker is such a weird thing to turn up in this line. Not that I'm complaining, although I wish they'd picked someone who doesn't already have a movie toy. Acid Storm or something.

Grimlock continues to look really metal. It looks like he has complete dino heads on both shoulders, and then the actual dino head kind of half conceals in his left hand. Is that right?

I believe he has his actual skull on one shoulder and a duplicate skull that hides inside his tail on the other shoulder, and that his real lower jaw ends up on his left forearm.

 

I love how convincingly they've replicated his colors for this toy.

 

EDIT: Hey dumbass, the real skull is probably his left shoulder, since that's the arm with the lower jaw, huh?

I had the same thought as Broadside. As the jet mode and arm make me think of that.

But assuredly that's not likely as who would homage another Thundercracker. :(

Well, that's what I'm hoping - the grey altmode would certainly be another point in favour of Cybertron stylings - but I'm afraid they're just going to give him a G1 head and blue and black colours (with red wing stripes, of course) and call it a day.

I'm sure it'll be more a Movie 1 Thundercracker head than a G1 Thundercracker head, but close enough.

 

This team ain't doing Cybertron anybody.
