    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Same thing. I even found a Brawn in a store the other day and again debated getting him, but in the end decided I'm not gonna be paying $25 for a deluxe that I'm not immediately sold on. Though every time I skip a guy like this I worry in 5 years I'll be regretting it. At least for Brawn I still...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    https://www.thepopverse.com/transformers-jorge-corona-daniel-warren-johnson-image-comic-skybound-hasbro (note, has a cover of #7 which may be somewhat spoiler-y) Looks like a new artist as of #7, though DWJ will still be writing. Spicer will still be the colorist and Corona's artwork looks...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Yeah issue #4 was great. Really felt like things are moving along again, and quite a few striking panels... definitely was not expecting Optimus' arm replacement, even with the "what's in the trailer?" moment beforehand. And I loved the scene with the kid being awestruck at Prime turning into a...

    Best figures of 2023?

    Looking at the list of what came out this year I realize I didn't really buy all that much, but didn't really realize it because I bought a bunch in 2022 and kinda trickled out opening them (just opened Minerva earlier this month, for example... and still haven't unboxed Motormaster yet...) Most...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    TF #3 continues to have some really good fight sequences, but I'm starting to wish the actual plot began moving forward. We're still largely in the same place as the end of #1, it feels. And while it's certainly logical/sensible, I've just never really cared for the whole "humans initially...

    Transformers: Reactivate (console MMO)

    Sorry if this already got posted elsewhere, but didn't see it yet. The Reactivate 2-packs (Optimus/Soundwave and Starscream/Bumblebee) are up for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse: https://hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers/products/transformers-reactivate-optimus-prime-and-soundwave...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    We'll have to see what happens in the Duke comic, but given that he's an earthling I suspect his title will be far more tied to the Transformers. Whereas Jetfire literally jetted off across the galaxy, then died shortly after reaching Earth, likely to never interact with the Agorrians and...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    TF #2 came out today. Another solid issue, though is sort of a breather to explain things and set some pieces up. Still plenty of good stuff here, some good backstory, some character moments, and another good fight scene. DWJ absolutely nails Cullen's Prime voice, really easy to hear it in his...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    He's certainly got a bunch of shiny copper, but no brown. The toy has a lot of copper AND brown, and I think the latter is really what is throwing it off. I think the contrast between the two colors accentuates it as well (as opposed to if it was just all the same copper color). The hips being...

    Transformers: Reactivate (console MMO)

    Same here. It strikes me as a good mix of the WFC and ROTB designs, but I think the bland deco (especially all that light grey) and headsculpt kinda kill it for me. Hopefully we get better decos on it. Also depends on how good the Soundwave is.

    The New TFwiki Discussion Thread (2023)

    Works for me now (may have been due to abates' fix)

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Yeah, my first reaction was "the new toy looks a bit better but not by much" then I went back and looked at some photos of the original and you're right - it's close, but there are a lot of little bits that add up. That said, I'm still on the fence as whether the new one is (personally) worth...

    On Legacy Nacelle and fungus - a PSA for those who care.

    This does seem more likely to me. Has this issue been reported for any toys besides Nacelle? I haven't heard of any; and I'd be surprised that Nacelle would be the only toy made at a certain production factory (but I may well be wrong, I dunno how things are set up). If it was mold in the...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Not sure that's really accurate... we just had a blockbuster summer movie that was mostly Beast Wars guys and new characters (with some name re-use), the only '84 guys are Optimus and arguably Bumblebee. The next line of toys (United) doesn't have a single G1 guy in it, much less '84. So one...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    I found this to be a solid, if not spectacular, start. The art is absolutely amazing, very kinetic and colorful. Even the panel that's just Optimus and Ratchet driving in vehicle mode looks awesome. My only complaint visually is probably the scratchy font they chose, kinda hard to read. As for...

    I generally don't care for the Animated aesthetic but that Optimus looks pretty cool.

    Transformers Hall of Fame 2023

    So it's definitely gonna be Sky-Byte and Armada Prime right? I haven't even opened the latter yet and was tempted to cast my vote for him. Maybe Nemesis will get a good chunk of votes but I can't see her winning.

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X NFL)

    Zero interest, but he does look spiffy. Especially like the lightning rod remold. I wonder if the final toy will have shoulders in black (as in the toy pics) or green (as in the packaging pics).

    Marvel Transformers #80 cover variant question

    This sorta thing seems like it might be up Nevermore's alley but it's about a comic and not a toy/packaging so not sure it belonged in his variant thread. I've noticed there seem to be two different variations of Transformers #80 floating around: one that has a normal bar code in the lower...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    What're its problems? Just curious since I don't have a copy of the mold yet - been holding out for a G1 Skyquake (or something off that mold like MW Starscream or King Atlas).
