The Galaxy Version Defender minis make me crave a Blokees line of Mega Man characters, wh whether in that smaller scale or the regular Blokees size. As long as they hew more faithfully to the aesthetic rather than the awkward stylizing of their MCU stuff, it'd be great. Most of the parts are...

For whatever reason, I can't not think of a Brushguard from this.

...read that again, haha.

First, from nostalgia: I don't have very strong feelings about most of the combiner teams or their members, although a few are remembered fondly because my late uncle (who was somewhat close to my age and who got me into Transformers and GI Joe) would either own or have borrowed some...

That's looking really good, especially after a brief on/off S3 rewatch. And especially especially after seeing some Gigastorm upgrade things online recently. But I really can't with another Titan. I don't even know where I'm going to put Hot Rod's Star Convoy accessory.

I think the toy being a beautifully colored plank mainly denied Rodimus one more redeeming element, but the damage was already done. An amazing toy might have swayed a few but he'll always be a meme as the guy who got Optimus killed, as the Not Optimus. There's certainly some merit to using the...

Oh man, packages now? This shipping is getting out of hand. What, was Draco Malfoy not available

Well, that's the last time I study Cybertronian history from articles in that fanzine by @.NotMyMatrixBearer420.

I think ultimately it was a very powerful demonstration of the significance of IP. The loss and backlash would have demonstrated that too, but their caving really solidified it -- showing that a company would go out of its way to undo something. Especially given the context was before just...

Love the colors. That gunmetal is a bit darker than usual, and it's a good look.

I'm tired, boss.

Yeah, I have the Siege one and think the same. The improvement in color scheme is the main draw. Even the current price of the set seems a solid value, and the lovely colors on Blitzwing are quite tempting.

I just keep telling myself to wait for SS86 Astrotrain, and that's working well enough. But even Starscream looks great.

If we got a whole G1 line informed by Guido's work as much as T30 was informed by Milne's at the time, I'd be very happy.

Don's try at a "movie-ized G1" style was indeed short-lived, but idk if he was doing more than the then-unsubtitled G1 ongoing at the time. This was also notably a time when the art style consistency was all over the place, with some tie-ins ignoring Don's redesigns in favor of matching with the...

I don't disagree, but the draw was unexpectedly strong to me as someone who doesn't really look for that so urgently. And Legacy Skids' lower legs are quite a bit bigger and boxier than usual, even for things like Earthrise Ironhide, which would ordinarily give me pause. But in those reveal...

I got lost partway through this and wondered why people wanted a G1 Megatron arm for RID Optimus

I don't really mind that aspect of T30 Skids, but I do have an odd fondness for Legacy Skids' huge chonky boots. Even from the first reveal photos that made a strong impression.

I agree mainly with the notion that it's more a matter of the toy design sensibilities from the time vs the actual design itself. Of course I'm glad to have BOTH a blocky G1 style Skids and the more lithe, horribly brweaponed Milne art style Skids. But there's so much spring-loaded hoopla and...

Pretty sure "Optimus with Megatron arm/cannon" is going to be way up there. Even a KO of SS86 Op is getting in on that action. Shredhead and Ballpoint have also got to be on that list. The former is even a fairly easy Skids rework.
