    Studio Series discussion

    They dropped the ball a bit on his cannon - it's not accurate in robot mode and doesnt fit or work as part of the turret either. I'm really not sure what they were thinking, other than maybe it was designed to transform more and it was cut for parts at the last second. But otherwise I think...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    They had to replace so many Victory Leos I have to imagine it rendered the entire project loss making and they didn't do anything, so I'm not holding my breath. Though I've skipped LioKaiser, so I don't have to put up with this nonsense any more.

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    Hasbro don't seem to have any functional replacement program yet, so they've probably got a few more weeks. I think it's kind of a waste of time shipping them out at this point, and wonder if Hasbro UK don't even bother and wait for replacements.

    You say that like terrible QC hasn't been a regular occurrence.

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    Hasbro's price increases don't reflect the Chinese tariffs, they reflect the Vietnamese ones since those are where Transformers are made. A 10% tariff on the wholesale cost has a lot of second order effects. I think Hasbro's costcutting has been problematic for years, but I think it's pretty...

    New "Wildocking" Animal Limb Combiners from TakaraTomy

    Ah, a shame. It turns out the text in front of the alt modes in the initial images were hiding the fact the animal modes were rubbish.

    I opened my Rodimus a few days ago, he's so lovely.

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: 2026 Computer Listings - Big Convoy, Quickstrike, Armada Sideways, and more.

    Lol at the idea that a new mold with 2025 budgets would be less hollow than anything from the Thrilling 30 Era. Skybyte looks okay, but ultimately he adds nothing new but will be more cheaply made than the two very good Skybyte toys I already have. Unless budgets are fixed and part counts...

    Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    So, Super Ginrai is in hand and... doesn't really feel worth how expensive he was? It's very much like a mainline toy with a few bits of niceness, the cab torso transformation is weirdly fussy, and the arms are just mostly just friction joints so nothing to justify the lack of compression in alt...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    Sky Garry was briefly Supreme Commander in Battlestars. And would (along with Grandus) fit well with Star Convoy.

    It's very hard to see where the budget is going on these two, and those windows look pig ugly.

    I just think they're the same guy tbh. The G2 comic absolutely loved miscolouring people purple. Like all the time.

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    Are we including the appearance from Cheetor's dream sequence in S1 as Ghost Starscream (I mean he'd still be long dead...)? He's in jet form there.
