Plus, I'm sure that getting the movie out early enough to make kids want the toys before the Christmas buying season was over was a factor. A Christmas release is too late for that.

I was, like Cybersnark, born in '79 (mid-December '79, but it still counts!), so I was watching it from the get-go. I'm 90% sure that my parents didn't take me to the movie in 1986, so I missed out on that experience, but I do distinctly remember going to see Gobots: Battle of the Rock Lords in...

ah, yes, I think you are correct!

Found this turret. So familiar, but can't quite place it. 5mm mounting port with 3mm effects ports on the gun barrels.

Yes, we need more FFoD bots. I would absolutely love it if we got a U-haul robot out of this line, and/or Trannis.

Pics of Prima's head from Baidu: Seems to be inspired by the "Powerful Robot" from Five Faces of Darkness

Haven't moved my Alternators to my new house yet, but I have an extra Skids from a flea market so, with the arrival of Agent Knight today, I was finally able to do a side-by-side comparison to decide that, yes, Alternators is the line that he fits in best with.

Nice! I like that they gave him a new head!

Seems to me that GI Joe I.P. would make for a good Call of Duty type game. All the playable characters would have a weapons loadout and special ability or two based on the character. You could do a single player story mode based on old episodes/comics from either a Joe or Cobra perspective, or...

Man, I do miss them. I loved the days of being able to go into almost any discount store like Big Lots or Tuesday Morning and walk out with some kind of bootleg robot.

All mine had was a couple of Earthspark toys.

I never cared for Bumblebee's face, either. His design, I think, is actually one of the stronger Bay era designs, and I even really like the "helmet" portion of his head, but I never did care for his face. It has an odd, sunken, almost skull-like look that I don't care for. His battlemask...

I would also accept this as Studio Series Bug Bite:

Welp, that sucks. I think it's just a symptom of society moving away from going to the movies in general, unfortunately, as TF: One and Dungeons and Dragons were both actually really good movies.

I know, right? I'm not really a Joe fan, so I haven't been buying these crossovers, though I do admire them from afar. But if I saw that Soundwave for $25 I'd be all over it.

Huh. I'd like to get some better views of the alt mode, but at first glance it doesn't look like it would be out of place next to origins Bumblebee, Jazz, and Wheeljack.

A very small criminal. *rimshot* Thank you, folks! I'll be here all week!

This. I loved both these lines. I feel like Kre-O needed a bit of modification in it's approach (keep the focus on the micro changers for "standard" sized characters, with the larger building sets being large figures like Metroplex, Trypticon, Grandus, or playsets like the Ark, the Nemesis...

Love that guy. Anybody made out of dinosaurs is A-Ok in my book.
