As far a size goes, go Core class or go home... What? Big transformers are a pain to store, display, and play with.

That is awesome!

Just realized, the Vamp mk2 would make a good altmode for an updated Ironfist.

Oddly, it’s kind of common for Japanese toys around that era to use Garry instead of Carry. Bandai had Jet Garry and Siren Garry, for example. I’m not sure if it’s a concession to pronunciation issues, or if there’s a grammatical rule involving dakuten that causes it (the character for the Ka...

Likewise, Dinoking, and I would be fine with an updated version that has dinosaur altmodes and does away with the shells. Or, hard plastic shells, but I think the former is more likely than the latter.

I wish we had gotten a Battlemaster that homaged Armada Laserbeak. That would have been cool!

Probably one of my luckiest finds is the big Imperial Godzilla (in the pics above with Rodan and Gorosaurus) at a flea market. It is the 3-year-old's favorite, and incredibly sturdy. I just have to avoid checking ebay prices when hes smashing it around, and taking it on car rides to strange...

I have a few of the Neca figures, but my Kaiju collection mostly has to pass the ‘can a 3 year old play with it?’ test. Ghidorah and Rodan are 2 of his favorites! For me, I’d like to get a Trendmasters Spacegodzilla, as I like the colors on it better than the later ones, and a good Biollante...

I am jealous of both your cityscape, and your Biollante figure! ...shouldn’t the more Dakka picture have a quote about “all this intravenous stuff’s no good for you. Stick to Smoking!”?

Oh, I don’t doubt that the cost of making a transformer that size figures in to some of the decision making process. However, putting a Battle Android Trooper aka B.A.T. head on a transforming HiSS figure is hardly making it a “generic” robot. It is THE most iconic robot in GI Joe lore. It...

The sad thing is, despite all my nitpicks with it, HiSS Megatron is absolutely a figure I want, but the $90 price tag puts it out of my budget. My hope is that it will do well enough that Hasbro would consider doing something similar at the deluxe and/or voyager price points, without the need...

IDK, Tiger Force and Python Patrol are getting some love as exclusives in the GI Joe Classified line. And, that version was called the Tiger Sting, and sting was a keyword in that cross-sell blurb. Its not completely unlikely. Just seems like it would take the kind of imagination that isnt there...

I am also puzzled by the apparent need to make these existing Transformers characters, when every previous crossover wasnt. Stick a Battle Android Trooper styled head on this thing, give it a suitable snake-themed name, and imply that it is one of many, and you have a theme-accurate crossover...

Wouldn’t be any worse than the Septic Tank version of the HISS. I do like the black photoshop. It definitely gels better than the G1 colors, and makes the bits hanging off less obvious. I think all the previous Crossovers have worked because the robot modes still fit within their respective...

If Trooper 2 is Bee, it’s probably the VAMP mk2, the tan one with the missile launcher. EDIT: As I think about it, its not just the placement of the cockpit that compromises HISS Megatron, its also that working gun turret. A ton of space gets used up by making that 3 3/4 compatible. I would...

I will admit, I love the ARAH cartoon, but there was usually a pretty big dollop of goofy in every episode. The second mini-series was marginally better, but the third ratchets the goofy up to 11. Obviously, Joe is not to everyones taste, and thats okay. However, I would recommend the episodes...

I mean, if we are going to get a 3 3/4 scale Transformer, the HISS is really the best choice. I am surprised at how shellformery it looks; as others have said, it should have been a Megatron that turns into a HISS, not G1 Megatron doing a ship girl impression with HISS bits. I cant tell from the...

Word of warning: I had a Kingdom Core Hot Rod in my hand at a nearby Walmart. Didnt think to check if it would scan, when I went to check out, it didnt. Customer Service got involved and confiscated it because they assumed it was a walmart.com return that they werent authorized to sell, and got...

Granted, Transformers as actual GI Joe vehicles may have limited interest outside of the US, but the point is that Joe and Cobra have some unique vehicle designs that are already paid for: no licensing fees. Use the vehicles as altmodes on figures in traditional Transformer colors first, then...

Thanks again! The pictures from your link helped me get the most solid info we’ve ever had; it was produced by the Processed Plastics Co out of Montgomery IL and the model # is 7410. The company went under in 2005, so finding one in decent shape for a decent price may be a struggle without...
