    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    The Last Autobot. The Ultimate Warrior. The Soul of Cybertron. The visual basis for Vector Prime's design. He was literally right there, ripe for the picking. But like Logos, they probably didn't know about him for how obscure he was at the time. And instead of Alpha Trion, they could have used...

    Frankly, since Prima was the leader with both the Matrix and the fancy sword, I think it would have been more interesting to make any King Arthur analog be him instead, since he's pretty much been a blank slate for most of his existence, only really gaining a personality once the Covenant book...

    The new Transformers Deal Thread

    He was certainly the last of the pirates that I bought, mostly because the others were so much harder to find while Feraks were everywhere. Buuuuuut, if I could have known about this sale beforehand, I would have waited and gotten it online for that price instead paying for one in-store some...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X NFL)

    The whole front of the car should have become the robot mode's head. Did they not learn from the "Ugly Sonic" fiasco that fans get mad if Sonic's whole head isn't the largest single body part of his whole body? :p

    Heh. As of this typing, this dumb lore pun post got 13 reactions. 13. Of all numbers.

    Which only happened because Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio went online and interacted with the fandom on ATT. They were perfectly willing to take Beast Wars in their own direction, but saw just how obsessed over-protective whiny passionate the fandom was about G1 and its lore that Forward and...

    HasLab Victory Saber

    I highly recommend the one I got from this set. And if you want a smaller hilt to give to Saber for the smaller official blade, the second set has you covered. Both are sold out at TFSafari, but I got mine from eBay (this auction allows you to choose between one, the other, or both sets, with...

    HasLab Victory Saber

    As have I, but I looked at their Victory Saber kit multiple times and each time I was like "I don't like/want any of this". The sword blade looks too big, the cannons are too long, the wing extensions make the wings stick out too far and throw off the proportions of their shape... and the new...

    That would explain why your post reads like a machine translation. You feelin' okay? :p

    Speaking of that "Tread Unit" (as Mark called it in the stream video), turns out we have ourselves another case of the early 90s online fandom passing around a mistranslation until it became widespread enough to be believed by everyone. The name "Tread Unit" seems to have been born out of...

    Short of actually featuring, well, Lori. (Yes, I specifically picked a pic of "Lori with lore") :p

    To be a little fair... "Megatron must be stopped! No matter the cost!" "One shall stand, one shall fall!" "Why throw away your life so recklessly?" "That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron!" "You, who are without mercy, now plead for it?! I thought you were made of sterner...

    Ha! Even Marvel knew that when they made their adaptation of TFTM: Look! No Hot Rod interference, and Megatron still guns him down! He first came on to the Transformers brand during the Transmetal 2 portion of Beast Wars, working on such toys as the gimmick-heavy TM2 Megatron. Before that...

    I bought four upgrade kits for mine, and none of them were the one from DNA Design.

    How many of those deep cuts in early Aligned were to things from Japanese-original fiction never officially released in English markets? The deep cuts made by the current Hasbro team are because the current team are deep in the sauce like we are. They weren't in charge of the brand back when...
