Okay, that's as far as that goes in this thread, please. I don't even necessarily disagree, and it's difficult to decouple this flood of crap from the pipe, but we have to start somewhere.

This is Mattel, but I'd be surprised if this weren't indicative of how similar big ships like Hasbro would have to respond to this situation.
Very nice. Skipped the first SS86 release, would gladly get this.
(Would also love an ehobby Dion and Barrelroller, even though we got a War Dawn Dion.)
What did you do with the thighs? I just unscrewed the lower legs, swapped the thighs, and put the lower legs back on.
I need to check whether the forearms on mine were a problem. And just to see this again, what a gorgeous release that really captures the "G1 projected onto non-G1 and it's...
I wish I'd managed to stock up on those. Mainly the feet, because they complete the leg shape much better and improve the proportions. The existing hand pieces are fine as hands -- I have no real need for articulated fingers, on these.
Fair enough, we can agree to disagree. Between the giving up on engineering to go for partsforming (based on what little I've seen) and the aforementioned random lion heads, it's just not for me. Although I did love the vibe of King Exkaiser being a little Hot Rod-ish car that combines with the...
I get that, but narratively the core concept is a crossover, a meeting of two worlds. And I think that helps distinguish it from the usual combiner archetype we've seen almost every other time. Although hey, there could very well be a torso bot native to that planet (I have not been following...
I think it'd make sense to keep the vehicle core + animal limbs thing going. But there are so many options.
Vehicle main bodies who are the "main" brand icons you can expect: Starscream, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Jazz, Shockwave, Hot Rod
And varying, mixed-release clusters of animals. All new...
I'm digging all of these, although some less than others -- that Spino is a bit weaker, but that pterodactyl is wow. But I love the colors on all of them.
If they indeed make a stego (and they might as well, the triceratops shows that body type can be fudged from the base) I will get it on...
I imagine the goal is to reach all 32 teams eventually, but I'm guessing we're not seeing that in one huge pile for the same reason we don't usually see 32 anythings released at once, unless it's, like, Botbots. (Please don't make 32 Lacefaces, I miss the line enough that I'll be roped into...
