    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    Yup. Appears to be a female driver for this release.

    ^ I once had to spend a full week off of Prodigy (circa 1993) for swearing. I regret nothing!!

    Oh man, that Arcee mold. I believe I have almost - if not every - iteration of that T30 figure (Hasbro releases with both hand variations, Takara release, Nightbird, exclusives, etc.). I love it so much, and as @lastmaximal mentioned, a very cool origin story. Even though it lacks some...

    Agreed on both counts, sir. I love the heck out of that T30 Waspinator. As for Rhinox, well, I opted for Takara's TG-31 release and have never regretted it.

    I don't follow the comics (or much fiction at all, for that matter) but I thought that this "take" on Optimus was an interesting one. My understanding is that up until now, the only viable toy options were upgrade kits, so this at least provides a fully sanctioned, official option. While this...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers: Autumnbots and Halloween Horrorcons!

    I absolutely love that Elitascream mold. I have had countless hours of fun cutomizing mine, trying out different options (she is currently being piloted by a female Diaclone Reboot pilot in an all-white deco to match, and she has a Gundam sword and shield, which integrates fully into her...

    Hasbro "Transformers Timelines" comic packs

    I really like the way Optimus turned out, but that Starscream? Not so much.

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

    Just an FYI that preorders are up at Walmart for Retro Outback and Wheelie. Good luck...

    The new Transformers Deal Thread

    I picked up a few Classified Joes that I previously had slept on (Agent Helix, Mutt and Junkyard, Jinx). Not a bad sale, just not quite as much TF stuff as I thought there might be.

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

    So my Retro G1 Seaspray arrived today, and he's glorious! Thanks again for the suggestion, @The Mighty Mollusk . I canceled my original preorder (which was still due to arrive by September 25th!). Truly bizarre stuff, their preorders. But Seaspray is great, nonetheless.

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

    Thanks, I will give that a try. I've heard horror stories about Walmart and things like this, but I have yet to experience anything, until / unless this is it.

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

    I have lived in Florida for the past 20 years, because of family. It's a pretty sucky state to live in. So, about these Walmart G1 Retro releases: anyone have their Seaspray shipped? Mine is still says, "To be Released on September 25th". However, if I cancel the preorder and buy a new one...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers: Autumnbots and Halloween Horrorcons!

    Yeah, I just kind of gave up on all fiction, for the most part, around the AEC era. If I'm being honest, I never really have picked it back up. I suppose that makes me a bad Transformers fan, because other than watching a few episodes of Animated, Prime, and some of the live-action movies, I...

    The nicest thing that I can say is that SS86 Galvatron has the best-looking face of all of his permutations, IMO. The colors just work so well. I've got the DNA kit for the Kingdom release, and it does improve his presence quite a bit. It doesn't save him, but it does go a long way to making...
