I just moved across the country last summer, and now I’m going to have to move across the country again this summer. This is after living in the same city for 40+ years. 😮‍💨 I should say, I’ve always stored my stuff in zipper bags, going back to the late 90s. Just about all of my TF (everything...

I've always read that you can do a light soapy water wash to remove the stickiness. But it's just a natural part of plastics. I don't know the science, but some plastics just age this way. I've even had it happen to a couple toys that were just sitting out on a shelf, not confined. Here's a...

The old guy in the red and yellow shirt was the actor who played Billy in the 70s Shazam TV show. I quite liked the movie. I think they did a fair enough job balancing the eleven actors who played the Shazam people and their normal person counterparts. Going in, I wasn't looking forward to...

I don't remember. I have the original Armada, the Energon, and both the Takara and Hasbro G1 head versions. I went through them all last summer, but I don't remember which came with batteries, or if any did at all.

Oh, don't forget to take out batteries! The Armada Unicron mold, one of the later G1 head versions, his battery panel was bulging outward with bad batteries when I checked in on him this past summer. It's not a huge problem that I run into (I have hundreds of TFs that I stored in an alternating...

Yup, I own that one. I had him in mind when typing my previous comment. At least he’s fully based on the shell. I don’t think anyone wants a Metalhawk body based on inner robot but with human head. Cow skull and lizard face fit into the “that’s rad!” category. Human faces do not. I won’t say...

Considering his biological head is a human face, it would be 100x odder if they had.

I use a small chip brush to dust. I store in alt mode 95% of the time because it’s usually smaller. I put each fig in a zipper bag, then in a tub. But I don’t zip the bags so that the plastic can “breathe.” I’ve thought about drilling small holes in the bins for the same reason, but haven’t...

Skywasp’s neck post sticks down from the head just like Kickback’s. I don’t have Kickback, so I haven’t swapped that head, but Skywasp’s pops off with enough force.

Yes, that is an inconsistency in the chart. I only split out the first two because it was a little confusing for me to have [blue Trailbreaker and blue Hoist] and [red Skids and red Crosscut] on the same line. But I should break out those others you mention, for consistency's sake.

I just want to go on record and say that I don't agree with any of that.

Here's a chart I made a while ago. The left column is the Transformer name. The following columns are the Diaclone colors and the names of the TF if it has been released on a TF mold, and what sort of mold (Classics/Generations, Masterpiece, or G1). The only Diaclone cars that haven't made the...

I wouldn't expect recycled audio recorded 25 years ago for a children's cartoon to jive with a big budget movie from today. I embrace new-ness in the franchise. New actors voicing legacy characters is not a problem. But with all the Cullen-worship in TF media in the past decade or so, it's...

I like that they look like robots and not shredded metal, for the most part. OP, Arcee, and the beasts all look fantastic.

Do you know of any tutorials or pics? I think I remember someone back in the day did it. Way back when, I popped the engines out. But I could never figure out how to connect the engines to the Titan Masters securely and without hampering the arms. I pulled out all the pieces last month to give...

I messed in bad by choosing not to back Victory Saber. I’m regretting that. Is there any chance of getting one for under $300-$400?

From Mark Maher's IG post: How do you all interpret this? I can't stop dissecting it. To me, it sounds like the regular robot head was meant for Skywasp and by extrapolation, the mutant head is for Parasite, despite being packaged in the reverse. Interesting that he calls it Parasite when the...

I think I get it. I didn't know the new Slicer toy is marketed as SG. But then I have to laugh, because the next cards in the slideshow are Flamewar's, who uses the same deco for both G1 and SG.

Are they confused about SG Wheeljack? So now the G1 Slicer deco is SG Slicer and there's a new G1 Slicer deco that looks like Armada Wheeljack?
