Parts that are grey (his rib stripes, hips/thighs) were originally black, and the blue parts (hands/lower legs) was originally more a dark slate blue, almost grey. I suspect part of the problem is that the picture on the wiki of the original toy makes the blue look brighter (and the silver...

The head is kinda cool but the rest (at first glance at least) just looks like another MP Op. I am more curious to see if "Style Gen" continues with other characters and what we might get from that.

Agreed, the brown is kinda a bummer. Despite being an IDW comic reader I have no real connection to the character, but the mold does look pretty awesome on its own merits. But it also looks like it would be so much more awesome with a different paint deco, so I think I'm gonna wait and hope for...

And honestly the original TM2 Dinobot toy was kinda naff so there's lots of room for improvement. Depth Charge too, to a lesser extent (that giant backpack). On the other hand I wonder if they could live up to the original Rampage toy with today's budgets, especially the treaded tank mode.

Going back one year, one that stands out to me is that we've gotten Crosshairs (sans TM though) and Pointblank recently, but no sign of Sureshot. Granted he's not nearly as cool looking as the other two, but still feels like the set should be completed. Agreed, we could use more Pretenders...

TF #18 was a decent ending to the arc, action heavy as you say but glad to finally get some plot moving. Spoilers for detailed discusison just in case.

332 issues but generally each one was half as long as a US issue, right? So hopefully not that much, though I guess anything that had to go through Kickstarter rather than regular press is gonna have a bump in price too (so it's not as easy as looking at the Compendium price and saying, $65/50...

Comics three-pack: Blue-and-lavender Blurr, blue-and-grey Kup, purple Hot Rod, give all of them their Targetmasters. Make it happen Hasbro.

Yeah IDW sometimes colored him a very light beige, and sometimes colored him white (or maybe a shade or two greyer than white), but it's not dark grey like that toy. Even that panel is mostly him shaded just to let the light pop.

I'm perfectly happy with CW Bruticus but damn that Vortex looks amazing. If the other Combaticons look that good I'll be tempted. And yeah that Sideways just looks like the original mold to me, just lacking some paint apps. Disappointing colors on Ironfist Fistiron, what is up with all that...

Maybe 2nd part will include the Universe profiles?

Yeah definitely regret on not picking up any of the Earthrise Datsun bros...

The building is the fun part! I agree they are kinda ugly though. Like Don, I wouldn't get these myself but I wouldn't hate getting them as a gift.

TF #17 out this week. It advances a lot of separate plots (TC looking for Skywarp, Arcee and Beachcomber looking for Magnus, Optimus and company trying to save Seattle from the Decepticon intra-conflict, Cliffjumper resurrecting his old buddies) so not much to say.

Ooooh nice, thanks. I was just in a Walmart yesterday looking at it (they had it for like 10% off) thinking if it got to around the price of a usual deluxe I'd bite.

G2 Sideswipe is tempting but the Masterpiece has kinda filled the void for me, not sure I like it enough to get the Slamdance too.

I'm thinking I might pick up the Megatron/Bumblebee set, as I really dig that cannon Megs, and train Bumblebee looks pretty good. Starscream is decent, Prime is meh, and they both seem too brightly colored for the aesthetic. I usually like bright colors but HoS is something that actually needs...

The CW version certainly has a lot of drawbacks that could use fixing, but the new version looks like 1 step forward, 1 step back in a lot of ways. They posted official pics of Hook and Long Haul and while the latter definitely looks a lot better, Hook still looks bad to me, with the same...

Yeah, unfortunately it's the 'cheaper' running change with the plastic tires and no paint on either head. I also don't know if I'll ever transform SG Magnus again. Damn small pegs...

Months ago @Sabrblade had requested a group shot of all the G1 Ultra Magnuses, including Classics with the Fans Project City Commander trailer. I finally had the chance to dig out some toys! I only have SG Magnus of the Siege/Kingdom mold but figured it'd work... Unfortunately I couldn't find...
