Caught me by surprise, too! I'm on the Pulse mailing list, so I saw it in a email from them a bit ago and quickly ordered.

D'oh! That's true. I had completely forgotten about that.

The Flip Racers and TransRacers are both pretty much exactly what my son had.

Maybe toss in Thundercracker, who's profile made him out to not really be a believer in the Decepticon cause (even if it didn't come up in the cartoon). I'm sure there's some others, too.

This one is Transformer-adjacent. Rom the Spaceknight is currently up for preorder on Hasbro Pulse. Love that he comes with a scale comic book of his first appearance!

I've been one Nemesis Prime away from having the complete set of Alternators ever since the line ended (not counting Binaltech, just the American releases). It's always stuck in my craw a bit being so close but missing one. One of these days I'll spring for him on ebay.

Very much this. I've been recently slooooowly watching through Season 3 (I have no memory of watching anything post-movie as a child, so a lot of this is basically new to me) and there are a lot of really interesting ideas there that I would love to see handled.....more competently. I love the...

My son has always been super into little toy cars. We bought a couple of knockoff versions of those flip-panel cars from the Dollar Tree probably 10ish years ago. They were surprisingly fun! They were very much dollar store ko quality, so the panels tended to be a bit finicky, but they would...

Ah! That does add another wrinkle to the whole thing. After Xaaron's comment, I went to the wiki and read the quick synopsis of the Binaltech story, but it didn't mention any of that.

From the point of view of it being a movie (with all the narrative tropes that that implies) and with the distinct goal of making you care about the NEW toys instead of the OLD toys, yes. But my question was more "in universe." Ah, interesting! As deep as my love of all things Alternators...

Saw this question posted on Facebook and I realized I had never thought of it this way. Was there anything special about Hot Rod that made him "the chosen one?" Or was it just that the Matrix was created for a specific purpose and was only ever going to open inside of Unicron, no matter who...

Director's Cut

Mohg needs some fresh rhubarb. He's baking a pie. an EEEEVIL pie.

Turbo Edition

I'm glad I didn't read the full title first. The surprise was half the fun.

I'd take a whole sublne of "nightwatch" figures in cool blues, greens, and blacks. Nightwatch Cliffjumper could double as Tap-out and Bumblebee would double as Glyph.

Very much this. If they do a new mold Soundwave, there's a good chance that I won't buy him as I'm pretty well stocked on Soundwaves. But if they do some new cassettes for him, like a good Ravage, or Enemy, or Slugfest and Overkill or any of the other cassettes that I don't have yet, I'm going...

I don't hate the Ratbat mold. It's no Masterpiece Ratbat, but it's not at all bad for it's size/cost. Ravage, though, is pretty rough and needs a ground-up rethinking.

Man, when I bought the latest Leader Soundwave pack, I wondered if there wasn't a SS coming just around the corner. Really, though, other than a little too much stege and some vestigial parts from the original "spaceship" mode, there's not much more I would want from a new mold. Even most of...
