    Post Pictures of your Transformers: Turkey Time!

    It's a nifty design, but I'm distracted by the sharp quality of the close-up... the clarity of the texture makes the gun look like it's made out of a pool noodle.

    Outside? Inside? No, thinking ABOUT the box: your thoughts on Transformers packaging

    (continued) ROTF ran for seemingly forever, with this impression being added to by its subline imprint not really having substantially different packaging. NEST Global Alliance basically added a new badge for the faction to the packaging (on the card for Legend and Scout 2-packs, on the bubble...

    Outside? Inside? No, thinking ABOUT the box: your thoughts on Transformers packaging

    The 2000s, 9: Revengeance The 25th anniversary of Transformers coincided with the hotly-anticipate sequel to the brand's 2007 live-action debut on the silver screen. The hype for this sequel was intense, despite a writer's strike that could not stop Michael Bay from filming and putting the film...

    Oh, the US is getting cheap Tranaformers in bundles and at prices we'll never get here? Cool, cool. Countdown until this gets posted in the Deal thread and this is the only reaction I can manage.

    Happy Birthday Allspark

    Nowhere else has felt like home, or like a place worth being, with conversations worth having with peers worth knowing.

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    Tbh one of the reasons I consciously decided to scale down around the time of AOTP launching was that even then I was feeling the cost crunch. And space, because I'm still trying to bail myself out but selling off old stuff is taking forever. I think past me would be a bit disappointed and...

    Transformers: Cyberworld, Literally GOAT'd

    And they're trying to get Optimus back up to level after being attacked by Eagleton Ron? Why don't the others just throw the match?

    Transformers: Cyberworld, Literally GOAT'd

    The Aligned Binder of Revelation has been REVEALED

    I think the packaging artwork may have been leaner since it didn't have to be animated transforming (even allowing for some mass-shifting). Everyone's a fair bit boxier in the show. I'd love for a better-matching Strongarm toy in the future, that's a middle ground between her RID2015 Deluxe and...

    Transformers: Cyberworld, Literally GOAT'd

    I think that's exactly what it is, and they've been doing okay. The disjointed feel is less from that and more from the in medias res start of the series that has them piecing together the past, and this latest episode seemingly not continuing from the cliffhanger of the last one.

    The Aligned Binder of Revelation has been REVEALED

    I think you're both right, there. To your point, that was an incredibly effective, fun take, written and performed impeccably, so it would have been well-received. However, as Exatron suggests, applied to Rodimus it would have also steered that character into that specific direction to the...
