*good week

It's been a good work for The Hunt: got Netflix Bumblebee (suck it Walmart!) and stopped at Walgreens and found a lone Bluestreak. I'm pretty much done until new stuff rolls out in February

There's some fab fandubs of comic scenes on Youtube, it's MTMTE/LL mostly but there's some great stuff such as Tarn learning of Megatron's defection and Megatron talking to Ravage.

Wonderful audio separation and balance.

For Transformers The Movie 86

I will say, the blu ray remaster, especially the audio is pretty spot on. Watching it on Apple TV has been enlightening.

Vode An!

I do not overly care for the Bad Batch, but it will be interesting to see what the animated series will bring to the table.

Alpha, Delta Squad, Omega Squad, and the Muunilinst 10 are quite the contrast to what we have at present in Disney canon.

Who else here read the pre-2008 Clone Commandos and ARC Troopers back in the day?

Monoliths in Utah and Romania.

Also, the face of the black redeco is painted gray.

To be a little fair, the original was also lacking in more detailed color. The Telemocha Series figure fixed that.

The unpainted face and all the greys make that look like a knockoff.

One could headcanon this one as such.

@Bass X0 Weird how they come close, with the likes of Onyx Primal and Nemesis Prime (Universe 2003), but no actual evil gorilla...

Oh my god! WFC ravage is adorable! Who's a pudgy kitty? Yes you are!

The 86 line prevented made me reconsider a new years resolution.

And Devastator because I'm a sucker for combiners

Decided to stick with the main cast from 2007 and a few assorted ones here and there.

I said I wouldn't buy a lot, now I have seven. And at least three might be on the culling pile.

"I'll just get one" I said now I have almost twenty Studio Series figures.

The geese are fleeing... death comes soon...

Not even head, just a faceeven

Just stick a Megatron head on Optimal Optimus.

There was also an evil-looking black and gray redeco of the RobotMasters toy

That's KIND-OF what I consider the Throne of the Primes Primal to be...

I would buy the hell out a nemesis primal...

I'm surprised there's not been a Nemesis Primal given all the Nemesis Primes.

The real Drifts were the Windblades we made along the way

Drift-kun 2 Electric Boobylube

I'm pretty sure Drift 2 was Empire of Stone.

I thought people said Prime Wheeljack was Drift 2.

Windblade was Drift.2.

Drift with boobs.

I can't imagine a live action movie version of Windblade being all that different from Drift. Not my thing, but not the worst thing I've ever seen.

The thought of Movie aesthetic Windblade makes me feel sick.

Though, the fact that Japanese people would pay for Windblade toys in the $30-40 range doesn't mean they'd pay however much MPs are going for now.

Back when I made a habit of checking Mandarake for pre-owned TFs, Windblade's toys went for surprisingly high prices. By which I mean not lower than the original price.

If she's in the next movie you might get her.

Japan didn't get most of the IDW comics and are the target market for MP. They basically know windblade from a few crappy pack-in comics and a show that wasn't particularly popular there. Unless they start cranking out Cyberverse MPs, it's not very likely.

Again, depends if she's popular enough in Japan to warrant it. Our view of which characters are popular is not the same as Takara's.

So characters like Windblade then.

They're complicated and expensive to design. By necessity, they're gonna be restricted to well-known characters who are more likely to sell.

I don’t think Masterpiece toys should be restricted to only show characters.

If she wasn't in the Sunbow cartoon, Live Action movie or Beast Wars and can't be repainted from someone else, she's not getting an MP.

They'll make their money back if they include the metal thong...

Is she popular enough in Japan that Takara would even try?

depends. will that one also have a giant metal thong?

Should there be a Masterpiece Windblade?
