I got Earthrise Megatron, he's better then I thought he'd be though Netflix Megatron is still tops.

The original Rocky movie is also showing. May go next weekend. That’s how you get people back in the theatres - show the old classics every adult loves.

They did a limited run showing of it up here too, back when the theaters were open... red zones suck.

The original Back To The Future is showing in the Odeon in the UK now. I think I will go see it tomorrow.

It was either the Bumblebee or Cliffjumper. Can't remember the colors.

What did it look like?

I swear I remember getting the Happymeal G1 minibot as a child, but I live 2.5 hours from St. Louis, which is the only place they apparently came out. It's possible that I got it on a family vacation, though, as we went to Six Flags pretty often.

Conversely, I had the Gobot helicopter from Wendy's and I was absolutely convinced it was an actual Transformer.

I used to rubber-band Hot-Wheels style construction vehicles together and pretend it was Devestator.

When I was about four years old, my parents bought me Bugbite and tried to tell me it was Bumblebee. I was not yet a fan of Transformers, but I knew that wasn't Bumblebee. I didn't even have the real Bumblebee at that time.

It would come with two soundtracks: the eighties classic and one featuring dubstep and the VAs are popular Youtubers.

But yeah, reading it: I came off as a bit of an ass.

I just couldn't think of worse music than disco...

What were you trying to imply with the mocking sarcasm, though? Nobody suggested that '80s music was any more "of it's time" than '70s music.

I said that disco wouldn't fare much better with the same context: media is property of it's time; biases, culture and limitations are all inherent in that. Some stuff can be brought forward because of an inherently timeless nature or the simplicity with which it was made but lots of media is a time capsule of the period of when it was made.

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply, or what you even think I said.

Yeah, cause disco would make the transition so much better...

I feel the '80s music would be jarring when running over current-day CGI instead of well, '80s visuals.

Not a remake, reanimated scene for scene, like that fan vid titled they were always real to me.

Because we need more remakes these days.

Be a hoot if these Studio Series 86 toys led to Transformers The Move Reanimated like Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution.

only takes three pounds to be a cereal killer.

5 pounds is a lot of cereal! /deadpan

Seems the area near my work place is due to be gentrified. Electric car ports, fifty pound haircuts and five pound bowls of cereal in breakfast cafes I'll bet.

@ZakuConvoy Lumines Electric Symphony. So still halfway interesting, and it’ll play on the PS TV

@Maximus: I paired the Battle Patrol with Ironworks and they look good together, though the Off Road Patrol would probably fit best as vehicles you're likely to find at a construction site.

So...was it something like Tearaway or Gravity Rush or was it just a FIFA or a Madden?

Sounds like they need to clean more often.

From the depths of Walmart's backroom comes...a Playstation Vita game in 2020?

and my bow

<GIMLI> And my axe! </GIMLI>

He's got my vote!

Mayor?

Greasepit for the Sports Car Patrol, Airwave for the Airstrike Patrol, Hot House for the Rescue Patrol, Ironworks for ????

My local Walmart FINALLY got a restock of Generations during the early September reset and got a big shipment of Earthrise wave 1 (the first I’d seen around here). IF, and that’s a big IF, they restock I’m expecting a bunch of wave 3. Or wave 2. But we’ll be skipping one of those waves.

Barricade hanging around

Brunt barely appeared here at all, wave 3 was pretty much skipped for a big load of wave 4, with Impactor and

Brunt is shelfwarming around me. One walmart moved the whole lot of them off to a side shelf, but couldn't be added to liquidate them.

Ironworks is a plague. No idea if it was overproduced or if nobody wants it but thing's clogging shelves.

My walmart the few times I go in will be lucky to have two or three transformers period.

I mostly just see walls of Ironworks. And the occassional Siege Hound.

condolences.

My local Symths is still chock full of Earthrise wave 1.

Yup, generally so much they don't bother with any other waves as the existing stock doesn't sell out.

All the damn time.

If there's anything there's going to be plenty of stock, it's wave 1.

I'm really not worried about wave 1 of a new line EVER.

At least you got listings for kingdom. walmart canada won't list them until they're actually in stock and that could very well never happen. I'm gonna get mine from BBTS cause I'm not missing out on the maximals.

And I don't buy the "they all sold out" explanation. The Kingdom figures are still listed.

I don't see any of Friday's reveals at Walmart.
