Eeek yeah sorry fell way behind. I'll put up some more today and then should be relatively quick the closer to the end we get.

Yeah, decent attempt, but like Road Rocket I think it's just off enough it'll be a pass for me (though like you it's decent enough to be tempting if I see in person at retail). I do appreciate that they did the pipes in transparent pink to homage the original laser rod functionality. But yeah...

I don't think I'll ever cease to be amused over the Circular Reporting type mistakes. Though you really would think something like a toy deco would have enough time for more research (as opposed to say a comic book colorist rushing to figure out how to color Relatively Obscure Character #28). I...

Yeah I was kinda shocked this is getting released on consoles and isn't a mobile game. The (lack of) animation on the robot mode portions is staggeringly stiff and unfinished. Looks pretty trash TBH.

Not the Chop Shop redeco concept I was expecting.

#45: Transformers: Generation 2 #9 - "Swarm" Derek Yaniger Each G2 artist drew the Swarm somewhat differently - Manny Galan tended to draw it as a dark tendril-y blob (usually grey or dark purple with black dashes), appearing quite substantially physical. Geoff Senior drew it as a more wispy...

Back from intermission. #50: The Transformers #77 - "Exodus!" Andrew Wildman Something I noticed is that Wildman was pretty good about variety in his cover compositions, as I don't think there's really a repeated motif or design layout across his covers. I admit I'm a bit of a sucker for the...

You joke but I think there's at least a decent chance this might actually be intended. I had the same thought when reading the issue...

Soundwave is just reusing the artwork from Core Soundwave, isn't it? I'll have to dig out my original, but yeah, something looks off. One thing is, like Quake, the magneta looks too reddish (which actually gives me hope that both are actually magenta in person). The lavender also looks a bit...

Wow that Xaaron/Flame pack is pretty damn good, I'm tempted. And cool of Hasbro to let a guy with a Xaaron avatar reveal them. Animated Motormaster is basically exactly what I expected. Never been a big fan of the deco TBH, but it's basically gotta copy what it is (same as the animation colors...

Yeah I'm probably splitting hairs, but I guess I was thinking of the "damaged" category as "alive but not really able to contribute" whereas we've seen a top-half-only Wheeljack be able to help out. Might be more similar to Jetfire I suppose, where he's limited. Also - is this the first time...

Same... while I'm glad Missing Link exists and it's cool conceptually, I had no personal interest in it, especially at its price. At $20-25, this one I might well pick up though, even if he is screaming for some additional paint apps or stickers. Kinda disappointed on Geocron. Bouldercrash...

TF #9 out today!

Right, I was calling it magenta, which is a combo of red and purple. The new leans a bit too far to the red side of that spectrum IMO. (The original does look more brick red in the first photo you posted, but the middle one is the one I think of for Quake) That is... huh.

Agreed. The blue looks wonderful, but the magenta still looks a bit too red and not purple enough to my eye.

I'm always a fan of Slipstream's colors, but that mold just looks really chintzy to me, probably a combination of the Cyberverse aesthetic (not quite a fan) and the shrinkflation on Deluxes in general. Definite pass. Quake I'm meh on. Obviously the color issue as others have mentioned, but...

Now I actually wonder if it was done for that reason purposefully as a sort of homage/reference.

#55: The Transformers #55 - "The Interplanetary Wrestling Championship!" Jose Délbo, Danny Bulanadi Somewhat infamously, Budiansky's final issue. Like a lot of issues from around this time, the main story concept is somewhat silly, but I actually like the way the cover is composited, drawing...

Getting to the point where it's difficult to rank these. Lots of good covers I like here, but often they get pushed down due to one flaw here or there. #60: The Transformers #35 - "Child's Play" Frank Springer, Ian Akin, Brian Garvey This feels like it could've been higher - I mean, it's one...
