I wonder if Hasbro ever considered bringing it over.

Brave is still the peak. Super robot aesthetics never got better than that.

He'll donate it to some "charitable foundation" he likes. Or the administration will just take a "What'cha gonna do about it?" stance until this drops out of the news.

There's nothing odd about it. Super robots need huge chonky boots. It just works.

Oh man that is a gorgeous purple. And yes, painting the area around the eye is necessary. Nice job. I'm not generally into WFC/FOC designs but I love what I'm seeing here.

Even if T30 Skids could stand I'd still hate the legs. I hate the aesthetic. I like my super robots with proper huge boots. They're great for stability, but visually they also balance out the proportions, as Transformers tend to have huge chests. A lot of IDW designs instead pile all the mass...

Plus Chris Cocks said Hasbro has some options to cut costs to offset the tariffs to a degree. And when this guy says he's found some costs he can cut, I think we should take him seriously.

I'm debating whether to revive this. This one got my attention today. I looked and I did in fact have a missed call...

Technically it's not dead. The Senate is weird.

Have they done any of the Chogokin era stuff yet?
