It looks like the pegasi were driven by their social media lifestyle to develop communications tech to a higher level, plus the whole "Need for the royals to fake it" thing driving more tech. But yeah, the unicorns probably relied too much on magic that by the time magic faded, they had no real...

Got the MS-11 Mini Sentinel. It comes with the tank from MF-34 (full sized Omega) and uses the Diaclone armor design as a base. There's parts to attach to the power armor to make it into a skinny-legged Omega Sentinel (and regular arms if you'd rather have those). The tank is shown in its...

Boop!

I do recognize that Hasbro might later reveal that this is indeed the future of G4, but it'll make as much sense as the first few episodes of RiD15 being the future of TF:Prime...not much, and require a lot of "Um, ignore all those details and impossible timelines, it just works, okay?" from the...

They managed to take a stock sitcom plot ("Mother keeps trying to fix her son up with a wife") and made it VERY Star Trek. I mean, this is a universe with Lwaxana Troi, so they have to step up their game to actually make a Meddling Mom part of a comedy show. ---Dave

They're "rebuild and not all the parts are used" style. Hence never bothering with the vehicle modes. In fact, IIRC that long piece sticking down as a cape on "Optimus" was officially left out of the robot build, but I stuck it on anyway. ---Dave

Not much to look at, and I never did bother to build the vehicle modes. ---Dave

To repeat from the general G5 thread, I think this is an alternate world, where it's just Convenient Coincidence that Sunny had dolls of the Mane 6. Too much stuff is different, there'd need to be a disaster of proportions undreamed up by the CMC to leave G4 Equestria in this shape. It's like...

I'm in the "It's Earth-1/Earth-2" camp based on all the differences. And I totally wanna see someone better than me do a version of the Flash of Two Worlds cover, but with Zipp and Dash. (Also, yay, new board software supports just pasting images in!) ---Dave

Five Below has much smaller brick OP and BB. Well, sort of OP and BB. And not worth $5 for the two. ---Dave

This isn't "I can make it fit" either, it's very clear that the peg and "pull out the kickstand" tab on the cannon were designed to go into the holes on Rodimus's back. ---Dave

I like how it has so many Star Trek tropes and cliches to explore that it has yet to dip significantly into the sludge that is the standard set of sitcom tropes and cliches. ---Dave

I mean, it barely did. Improved Cheetor, then a bunch of stuff that was really Earthrise or nowhere at all. ---Dave

Undocumented feature!

The color scheme has been used before, sometimes in the movie lines, but I mostly remember it from the third season of RiD15, the TRU exclusive power-up Bumblebee being mostly silver. My headcanon is that they are Go-Bots Silverstreak (sportscar), Silverbolt (VTOL) and Silverrush (off-roader)...

Yeah, I found that at Ross yesterday too (different Ross, obviously). Ben Yee wants one, but has no Ross nearby. ---Dave

Grabbing Road Rage, passing on Draculus. ---Dave

Other notes: the tires are rubber and spin nicely. The kickstand is messed up in some way and the cycle falls over. It has Harley Davidson logos on it, may even be licensed, but there's no text to that effect on the package or in the (black and white line-art) instructions. ---Dave

Transformation is far from perfect. A lot of places it felt like it was going to break, a fair amount of partforming, and you have to split the "trunk" in two along a seam, which feels like breaking it open entirely. Transformed and next to Voyager Wreck-Gar for comparison. Negligible...

(Okay, where's the Eda as a MLP-style griffin, or Luz-pony?) ---Dave, got into Owl House just as it went on hiatus....
