    Transformers Legacy toyline

    He is in the toy universe! "Blanker" (lmao) looks pretty good, hits all the design points I wanted. I hope he comes with a gun though... Dead End is meh (those feet!) but I'll be getting him to complete the set. Crankcase and Skullgrin might be passes for me, I'll need to see more photos...

    Thanks for the link, pre-ordered him. Pulse required me to be a Premium member so wasn't gonna be able to do so there.

    Transformers: Last Bot Standing - IDW Publishing comic miniseries

    #3 was a pretty great issue. We've had plots before about how destructive Cybertronians are to the universe at large, but actually eating people is certainly an extra-sinister take on it. (Does make me wonder why they bother having Autobot/Decepticon sigils though... especially since they appear...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Very interesting to see how Pointblank turns out... I've always loved his G1 toy design, especially his shoulders and the car design with the mismatched front, fins, etc, so really fingers crossed they can keep all that in the update. I know it's often derided but "G1 with knees" is mostly what...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    Yeah I'm hoping that's a non-final prototype, because, woof. Not that I was gonna buy a Wheelie anyways, the one I got from SS86 Grimlock is already more than I need. Can't imagine this one will sell well, being a fairly unpopular character and a pretty bad looking mold.

    Minions overtake Transformers

    I wonder how they define "biggest opening over Independence Day" since the day off doesn't always fall on a weekend. The number they have for DotM ($115M) seems be the Friday-Monday number (where July 4 was a Monday), but it first released late Tuesday June 28 and doesn't include the numbers...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    With so many other cool things we've gotten over the years, I think Red Helmet Ratchet (on a good mold) is my TF white whale.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I know it's hard to tell with the figures in white space but my first thought was that they made Inferno a deluxe. Then I saw the box confirmed he's a voyager, but it still looks pretty simplistic to me. Comparing it to Tarantulas and estimating the difference does make the bulk more apparent...

    Beast Wars Comic Thread

    It's not THAT bad (lol) but this was a pretty dull thud of an ending. It does get some sympathy from me because I know it's always tough to wrap things up when you find out suddenly that the book is coming to an abrupt end, especially here where it was for reasons out of the creators' control...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Sadly I think I'll probably pass on all these guys (except Scourge who I already loved when he first got leaked). Road Rocket and Slicer are the most enticing, but.. well, they did a pretty good job with what they had for Road Rocket, but the lack of the awesome sidearm cutter is a big demerit...

    Monopoly, featuring... Beast Wars?!

    Looks like it, which would be good, hopefully there's something to change up the actual gameplay beyond just a simple reskin. Disappointing they didn't change up the corner spaces (Go, Jail, Free Parking, Go to Jail) to something more thematically appropriate.

    LEGO Optimus Prime

    If you can't find it in person, don't have any worries about ordering online - other than the receipt taking a bit longer to get by email than expected, no problems. Shipping was free given the price, and it arrived in less than a week of ordering.

    Then what're you waiting for, go buy them!! But yeah, I'll snap all of 'em up... Laser Rods, Rotor Force, Cyberjets, heck even Color Changers...

    Hasbro files trademarks for Maximal and Predacon faction insignias. Also: Extensive faction insignia trademark history.

    Perhaps the tail end of RiD? I don't think it had any Maximals, but it did have some Predacons, and Cryotek came out as late as (early) 2002 (though from what I can tell by looking at pics of his packaging, no TM/R symbol by the faction sign). So perhaps they just registered the three main...

    LEGO Optimus Prime

    Same here, haven't gotten it (and I paid with CC). Funny enough I did get the "thanks for signing up" email, though even that took about 40 minutes to arrive.

    Going to the website has me in a queue, but doesn't say how long that queue is... wonderful EDIT: Finally got through and pre-ordered. It's up as of now (9pm PST)

    Shattered Glass Thread

    That's surprising, considering they're ending the main story... I guess they figured they could still get a mini or two out before the license expires?

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I passed on G2 Laser Prime since I still have the original, but strongly leaning towards getting Black Convoy. He's got a lot of that teal and hot pink (NOT red) which I love, even more than the original; and I think it really makes the black and silver color scheme pop.

    Transformers: Last Bot Standing - IDW Publishing comic miniseries

    An intriguing beginning (especially the necklaces), and a decent fake-out with the nameless Visitor purposely sharing Rodimus' silhouette. I would've preferred a little bit more to go on as it's only a 4 issue mini, but we'll see how it goes. I wonder if the horses sharing the name of Hot Rod's...

    LEGO Optimus Prime

    Long rumored, finally here... and it looks... okay? Definitely some concessions made for it being able to transform. Ah heck, who am I kidding, I was always gonna buy this. I love all the accessories, especially that Matrix.
