The comparisons are cool, thanks for posting! I can't remember, are the Pulsecon exclusives only listed on Pulse, or do online retailers like BBTS also carry them? I would be very interested in Dinoking, but my luck with Pulse has been...varied.

Here's an odd request: anyone want to try Beast Wars Retrax with a deco based on Unicron? His rolled up mode kind of reminds me of the planet eater...

At least around here (US Midwest), the Toxitron stuff had their own price tags that said capsule on them, so I don't know that their distribution issues are due to other Transformers on shelves. That said, not every Walmart around here got them. Those that did seemed to have gotten 2-3 cases...

For what its worth, the subtitles on the Victory DVDs from several years back tended to refer to Breastforce buddies as "Chestars". (Of course, they also chose to call the Breastforce "Chestforce". If it had been me, I would have just called them the Beastforce, which would both make sense and...

Well, it looks like it has the exact same paint ops as the other version with the gray plastic, but the light blue windows are pretty jarring on the translucent version. I think it would look better with a darker metallic blue or even black for windows. The thing that surprises me is, we've...

Can you do this deco on Velocitron Override?

Eh, they just took the idea from the Challenge of the Gobots episode "Et Tu, CyKill?". Or possibly Revenge of the Sith.

So, as I mentioned in the Anime thread, Haywire3 has been watching a lot of classic anime with me, and one of his particular favorites is Tetsujin 28 (aka Gigantor): So I got to thinking, now would be a great time to make a Tetsujin costume. Haywire3 could dress up as Shotaro Kaneda, and it...

I would prefer a Reverse Convoy, but I agree with the sentiment. G2 Megatron's look is more than just throwing a green and purple deco on any tankbot.

Lost In Space, on the other hand, was a factual documentary disguised as weekly entertainment program...

I think the yellow triangle thingy goes to the Titans Return Repugnus Titan Master?

Yeah, especially when a lot of the molds they use were the cheap off-brand toys that were sold as alternates to GI Joe vehicles. That said, if they ever re-engineered the Processed Plastics Huey Cobra-like helicopter for 3-3/4 figures, I'd probably bite the bullet and buy at least one. Lots of...

https://timmeeusa.com/products/jl-timmee-star-battle-station https://timmeeusa.com/products/jl-timmee-star-battle-station-x4 These are too rich for my blood, but I love the modularity, and they would work for lots of toylines.

Crashbar (the figure Road Pig is retooled from) is pretty fun. The transformation is pretty intuitive, and he's got a lot of options for weapons.

Not to mention they made Cyclonus and Starscream torsos that were just begging for troop-building limb minions. Now, if we'd gotten a torso bot based on G2 Dreadwing/ATB Megatron/BB/Gigant Bomb with matching Seeker limbs, that would be awesome!

Weren't the Scramble City limbs still in stores at that point? Those would be around the right size for Fort Max, wouldn't they?

I would actually buy all of those! Need more CW minions!

I stopped at Gen 3, because a DS was just getting too expensive to justify, and getting 2 to trade between games was out of the question at the time. As it was, the screen broke on my second GBA, and I had to set trades up on my working one and then do them based on sound and matching key...

They were better before they won the Franchise Wars...

On the one hand, I agree that the 40th anniversary, SS86 version of the brand's main bad guy SHOULD be a new mold. On the other hand, Hasbro and Takara's repeated reusage of the Siege mold seems to indicate that someone in a position to make the decisions considers it to be the definitive...
