  1. Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    Wheelie say "I have looked into the dark cold abyss with my dead eyes and see in it the reflection of lifelessness that we all in the end succumb to-" *what we hear due to his speech impairment* "-find friend today!" Maybe he's a preview of the new Transformers X WH40K crossover and he's an...
  2. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    A friend suggested Battle Catman is a really awesome take on what could happen if Snarf channeled the Power of Grayskull.
  3. Transformers Collaborative | Hot Wheels x Transformers

    "My super strong rival punched me in the face in a magical universe and now I'm a voice-acting single parent of quadruplets using my evil necromancer skills to flip real estate in New Jersey" At least that's my first guess on the title. They're all something like that.
  4. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    They have plenty of Transformers that don't transform on the market now, from little $2 toys to thousand-buck statues and everything in between. This is more 'we took your 80's franchises and taught them to cosplay each other'.

    You may be able to replace He-Man's hand with that axe. Which for him is not a great thing, come to think of it. I wish they'd posted a picture of the glow effect. This might be a good Ghost Starscream of the 'the ghost's appearance degrades as he forgets what he looked like when he was...
  6. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Optimus HeMan and Scare Glow Starscream pics are out. Starscream-Glow looks like a cross between a Pretender Shell and a Necron. And unless I am mistaken, HeMan has the peg on the axe so you can cut his hand off and replace it with the same axe, which is fine for Optimus but for an organic...

    Meanwhile, in SpaceBallsXTransformers: The Search For Merchandising Tie Ins: Megatron: "How many Shockwaves are ON this ship?!" Every Deception and also every captured Autobot prisoner on the bridge all take their masks off : "Yo!" Megatron: "I knew it, I'm surrounded by Shockwaves..."

    My biggest problem was some of the limbs tended to pop off their posts very easily, sometimes 'boing'ing out quite a ways when the springs snapped shut. But cracks also tended to appear around ball joints, especially with the Minicons. I assumed it was a clear-plastic thing for them.

    So I'm not the only one who had trouble with some brittleness? Though the PCC Dinobots were solid.

    I was thinking of the old Club Energon combiner for a template but as a voyager I guess not?

    Shockwave was Shockwave the whole time... He was also Elvis. Became quite popular, I hear, though I'm not sure where he got the Pretender shell from. Amazing voice and dance moves but never could figure out how to write a movie to save his life. Seriously, though, it wouldn't surprise me if...

    Assuming he has the usual 5mm posts/ports I don't see how he'd not be. Probably a lot of improv involved but I think he's probably the Prime of that, too.

    I've heard the Squid mode was very popular on both Quintessa and in Japan. Shockwave doesn't like to talk about it.

    In my headcanon this design and the rest of the concepts are temporary Alt-modes from Shockwave's photo shoot he did for a Swimsuit Calendar in his college years. He was young and needed the money.
