I was born in 1981, and me and my brothers and sisters grew up with GI Joe. I remember figures like Star Wars and Indiana Jones in stores when I was a kid that were closer to the ReAction style, but I remember, even then, considering them inferior to the poseability and detail of the Joes. I...

Well, a 1:1 deco recreation would probably have to be licensed, but I would bet they could find a way to evoke the spirit of the deco without being exactly the same. Something like the Prime Cyberverse Smokescreen that came with the Sky Claw vehicle.

In Oregon, where it's Full Service?

The darker blue on the hood looks about right. The yellow is right for BH Smokescreen; it would need to be slightly greener for Alternators Smokescreen. Either way, I'm loving these! Thanks for sharing them!

We had that game! The only thing I remember about it is being commanded to "Experience Bij!" at regular intervals. To this day, my siblings and I will occasionally still shout that at each other...

In terms of popularity, yes, "testing the waters" may have been the wrong phrase. I was mostly referring to the age of the series and any nostalgia that might come into play. I kinda hated to leave Leader-1 off the list, but I wasn't super-thrilled about a simple Seeker redeco. The robot mode...

"If he studies hard, he could be a doctor or a lawyer..." "More likely a (Kung Fu) stuntman..."

It would be more than a little weird if it wasn't a parody, right?

Maybe expand the roster of Cybertron colonies: "Legacy of Gobotron" Deluxe: *Coptur from Siege Spinister, remolded head *Speedbot from Kingdom Sideswipe, remolded head *Mototron redeco from Speedbot above *Buzzerbot redeco of Kingdom Waspinator *Treads redeco from Kingdom Warpath *Steamer (one...

My wife has trained me to keep an eye on clearance aisles, so I've picked up quite a lot of things at drastically reduced prices. Got Netflix Soundwave for $13, reissue Blaster and Siege Sixgun for $2, reissue Rattrap for $5, reissue Scorponok for $7. Those are the most recent highlights, anyway.

YMMV, but my local, admittedly crap, Walmart just restocked the Velocitron deluxes. First time I've actually seen a Cosmos on the hooks with the rest. (snagged mine straight out of the first case before they even got put up) I'll be surprised if it's still there the next time I go in, but the...

I've seen Grimlock, tank Megatron, and Primal at nearby Walmarts. I'll be keeping an eye out for gator Megatron, though. My son and I have a running joke about alligators.

If this makes it to the states in time, I think I just found my son's next Christmas present.

Yeah, it looks like the standard Buzzworthy packaging, but with empty yellow where the window would normally be. ...if I see them, I might have to pick up a couple more Sky-Bytes, though. The one I have is popular with the 4-year old and his friends...

I have an extra that I picked up a while ago. I will PM you.

I...would be down for that. Always appreciate new Battlemasters!

If you want a little more poseability, what about Energon Prowl? Has a similar transformation, and lots of ways to adjust poses and tweak the transformation to fit the character. EDIT: It looks like there's a few on ebay for relatively reasonable prices for custom fodder.

I really need to get caught up on Gridman, but in the second picture, why does his pose remind me of Shinji Ikari?

Yeah, seems like the Core Dinobots are the likelier source of redeco options. Maybe Swoop will come with the Leader-class dino's swords, or possibly a gear pack of some kind like what was done with Centurion.

I honestly tire quickly of the universal stream designations. To me, it's a lot easier to describe something as "like the original G1 cartoon, but everyone wears ducks on their heads" or "just like the Marvel comics, but with a French accent" than "Primax 4.8.15.16.2342", or whatever. Each...
