I would love the '86 cast to be done in the Core class size! So like, they could release a new Metroplex and call it "Studio Series '86 Autobot City". Then, they could do the '86 cast as Core figures across several waves. Then, Hasbro could just sit back and watch the money roll in. Then...

To be honest, I used to rely solely on the instructions for the first transformation. However, because video reviews show so much detail and tend to point out QC quirks and issues, I rely on them for the first pass-through these days. My MO is generally to watch a video review, pay attention...

I uh, still need to open mine...

I've got that Megatron and still need to build it. Count me in on a Mega Man kit!!

I have cherry picked Diaclone over the years and I have enough to make me happy. I don't go for everything, and I really like the smaller sets that include Dianauts and maybe a few vehicles. It's very fun world building and goes together really well with modern Transformers (for dios and...

I didn't realize that was the going rate. I haven't seen it available on anything like BBTS, so I don't have a frame of reference. If that's the case, though, I will admire it from afar.

That is beautiful!! :love::love::love:

TR Fort Max is not a good Transformer, but he is a good super robot. He's one of two Titans I've purchased knowing that I will rarely - if ever - transform it (the other being The Ark). If you missed out on any iterations of this guy along the way, $160 is a pretty reasonable ask.

It's been exciting to see the reveals and some of these "how the sausage is made" missives from Mark. However, I am firmly in the "don't care about The Thirteen" camp. The truth is that I left the shores of Transformer fiction long ago. I just enjoy a well-designed, fun bot though, and...

I like and have preordered both versions, but if I had to drop one, it would be the prototype. The anime is the version that I would have 100% bought as a kid, to round out the Movie cast. It is the look that I want. The prototype is cool for what it would have been and is an interesting...

I don't know anything about Flatline's character, but that deco looks so cool.

I wish that they could've found a way to give that Earth mode Sideswipe his Countach-looking wheels, like Sunstreaker had. Don't get me wrong, it's my favorite version of Sideswipe, but that really would have been a nice visual cue and rounded out the look more completely.

Those all look like package refreshes / slight deco changes, if they are real. Not sure what is going on with that box art, but Sideswipe definitely registers more as Red Alert for me.

Part of the reason why I think that this set appeals to me, is that it really conjurs up the old (good) feeling of "Takara's release is different". I used to love waiting to see what deco choices they would go with, and I miss a little of the fanfare around that. Arguably, most of the Dramatic...
