He still hasn't gotten over its use for his Hall of Fame video in 2011.

Vector and Nexus weren't created until after The Ultimate Guide first introduced the group as a concept. Furman had more plans to flesh out his original vision of the Thirteen before Dreamwave went under. One of those plans was to reveal Grimlock to be direct descendant of the Thirteen (because...

Hydrophant having tusks that look more like water cannons makes some sense when you get to know the character more. He's gentle, kindhearted, timid, easily frightened, lacking in self-confidence, and prefers peace over fighting. So, it makes sense that his tusks wouldn't be so aggressive...

Retailers were demanding more movie product thanks to the success of the movie increasing the demand that much more. That's also why those Walmart-exclusive Cybertron and Classics Deluxe redecos were sold as Movie toys instead of as part of the Universe 2008 line. Walmart wanted more movie toys.

The thing about Alpha Trion still being alive and around is the main reason why The Ultimate Guide didn't include him among the then-known members of the Thirteen Original Transformers when it first established the concept. The book introduced the group as being so ancient that they all (minus...

Maybe Boston is where they will finally have the indefinitely-postponed-but-never-formally-canceled HasCon 2019 take place. :p

All kidding aside, they are: Convoy (Tokubetsu Shiyō) -- Deep red, blue windows, Matrix inside, tall smokestacks, hand holes, newish condition Missing Link C-01 Convoy -- Deep red, clear windows, Matrix inside, tall smokestacks, actual headlights instead of hand holes, newish condition...

What does that matter? People still hated that Beast Machines ignored Primus and changed Vector Sigma into something new and different from what it had been like before.

It's so funny to me how we're all now like "There can be multiple different origin myths, not everything must be beholden to one true mythology" when a mass refusal to even entertain that idea was a big reason behind the early fandom's hatred of the Oracle and Cybertron's organic core in Beast...
