Even with the prospect of an initial QC challenge, this is a gorgeous set and it's a shame to have to miss out. Same mostly true for Liokaiser. But that's how it's gotta be for the foreseeable future. C'est la vie.

Well, that's fun news! I hope these are good. Again, it's really going to come down to the faces; the regular TF Blokees range (I don't know which of the many subtitles this is, but it feels like the "main"/default one) has faces that are a bit long/gaunt looking in the helmets. And Mega Man...

We'll have to wait a while longer for 2 Trans 2 Formers.

The "faux retro" is pretty much the appeal, but looks like you and I aren't the target audience for that specifically. I love that GI Joe fans who were open to a new scale and/or who can afford to start a new collection are eating really good with a line made by people who clearly have a love...

I agree that there are a lot of non-Mainframe directions that can be taken. I did say "hard" but maybe that's not the word I should've used. I think what I was trying to say is that it's clearly taken time to get onto the idea that this can just be called Beast Wars and have the "cast of...

G1 being remixed and G1 fans' reactions to the remixing are two different things, heh. Or really just fans in general... I get why BW has been hard to retool, because the original narrative shines partly because of the separation from G1. Either the fact that the cast are so removed from what...

I'm not wild about that bit in the Almanacs, which like the rest of the Almanacs seemed to just want to cram name this into homage that and garnish with references. Like, it technically FITS the backstory of consumer goods/defense vs military, but eh. But I am intrigued by the idea of using the...

The segments make sense, as we've been shown in annual reports. Tiers of toy complexity (which not-coincidentally align with production cost) pair with distinctive aesthetic approaches and presentation to create a ladder that young fans can progress through to grow up with the brand as a whole...

Sort of. I remember them shoehorning in a Great Shutdown on Cybertron that conveniently paralleled the Earth-based Cybertronians' slumber. Shockwave's whole new world order situation was set up over only the most recent few thousand years. Which still feel like kind of a big window for those...

Video games in general are a messy landscape these days, and AAA video games in particular are an expensive, long-production-process minefield. Similar time and money would likely be better sunk into a movie or series. If an existing studio wants to license the brand and characters and take on...

I've been wanting a new Unicron Trilogy-level remix for some time. Have some recognizable elements and names, but change everything up that you can.

I mean, really, what is it good for.

A custom concept from an Optimus Prime that isn't Nemesis Prime or Shattered Glass Optimus, and that hearkens back to a fun 20-year-old release? How... refreshing. Continuing the search for Some Kind Of (Ice) Bucket.

Might have also been intrigued by the old Target exclusive "burning" colors.

I think the Binder is more along those lines. This was a fiction text written based on parameters set in the Binder/Bible. Funny enough, this being a somewhat sacred text archiving the stories of their deities and early peoples, it's an in-universe Bible of sorts more than a series bible.

Whoever's reading this, just keep living your best life. You do NOT need to call your ex.

I will always get a laugh out of how the Exodus novel itself seemed to acknowledge how dumb or at least clunky a name that is by NARRATING how the crowd changes their chant of "Megatronus" to "Megatron"... AND explicitly justifies it by saying "as if they wanted to end on a stronger syllable" or...

Maybe put each arm on the opposite side so the elbow joint bends upward?

I wonder if the shoulders are on 5mm pegs and there might be enough clearance to peg them further forward, above the wheel. That would at least have just the forearm/pipes sticking out in the back, just generally better proportions.

Conceptually I've always preferred them to be out of reach, intangible fiction-only elements of history. I've always been in that weird in-between space where I did and didn't want toys. (This never includes Alpha Trion, whom I've always wanted a toy of since before he got folded into the...
