I would put my money on the '89 Batmobile, just because of the 80's property synergy. However, don't forget the '66 Batmobile. It's nearly as iconic and fondly remembered, and could provide some interesting body pieces to integrate into a robot mode.

So, Triple-T Kup just hit my Pile of Loot at BBTS, and I'm pretty excited for this one. I had Sgt Slaughter and the Triple-T when I was a kid, and so this is the first GI Joe x TF crossover I've splurged and paid full price for. (Got HISS Megatron and AWE Striker Bumblebee on deep clearance...

Oh, I absolutely agree (though I have gotten behind on actually reading the issues I've been collecting, i did manage to get through the first arc), the story is better-written for sure, and they do seem to remember who all these characters are, but the action sequences are violent and...

Rodents Of Unusual Size...

The cliff(jumper)s notes, not super spoilery, version of the comics is: Energon is what keeps the Cybertronians going, and there's not a lot of it readily available. Teletran can reassemble them seemingly from random spare parts, but requires Energon to do so. Ratchet can also reassemble his...

I like the idea, in concept, of a "what if DiC had continued the G1 cartoon?". If GI Joe is anything to go by, it would have certainly had a different feel from the Sunbow seasons. I would imagine there would be at least one anti-drug episode, as that seemed to be a staple of DiC shows at the...

I think it's a Japanese grammar thing? The katakana for "kya" in "carry" becomes "gya" with the addition of the dakuten ("), probably due to the sounds its following? (It has been many years since I actually studied Japanese) Machine Robo has the Jet Garry and Machine Robo Rescue had Siren...

I didn't buy a lot of mainline Prime stuff, but I can confirm the Cyberverse Commander figures had clear plastic bits to interact with the light up functions on a couple of the vehicles.

There is no strong coffee, only weak people...

The only real issue I have is that these are the "Track Fleet" series, which is not as widely available as the "Super Rigs" that are carried at almost every Walmart and Target around. Otherwise, they're kind of cool little bits of merch!

I want to try an albino deco, based on a Rankin-Bass movie called "The Ivory Ape", with maybe magenta robot accents. Not sure how it will come out, but it would be visually distinct from the original.

I like the artwork, but the money I would spend on cards is the same money I spend on TF figures, Lego, movies, and comics. Gotta draw the line somewhere...

Use the Razorcrest, and then retool it into the Serenity...

I have had preorders for blonde Cover Girl and Comic BAT in since BBTS listed them early way back when; put in a preorder for the Extensive Enterprises twins today. Classified figures look cool, but I grew up on o-ring Joes, and I'm excited to see what other figures Super7 has in store. (Hoping...

Tessho Genda just has one of those voices that works for Convoy. I grew up with Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime, and Genda's Convoy still sounds right! (Incidentally, I still think we need a City Hunter/Transformers crossover with Optimus and Umibouzu teamed up!)

Energon Strongarm could finally get his gauntlets!

With a touch of Venom or Carnage thrown in...

The app is not ideal, no. The way I see it, it can give a false negative, but if it brings up a positive in-store hit, there is probably something there to look for (when I found Lockdown, it said they had Filch as well, but no dice). We have 4 major and 4 minor Walmarts within a 45-ish mile...

I agree 100% with this. The issue (I think, based on anecdotal evidence) is retailer buy-in for shelf/hook space. Target has carried Core pretty consistently, but Walmart has been extremely hit or miss, and (when they do have them) their annoying habit of overloading on 3-5 figures at Christmas...

I don't think they're getting dedicated hooks this go-around; I think that was the reason behind them having normal United packaging? When Ferak hit our nearest Walmart, I scanned it with the Walmart app to see what it's listing read like; seems like "Star Raiders" is the keyword phrase to get...
