    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I would love this. Make it a traveling show with the Cybertronic Spree playing the music live along with the film, giant drone-show Unicron looming over the audience, the whole shebang!

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I went to a small, 100% Engineering school, so it was basically Nerd Central. I remember one day walking into my dorm after classes and a large group was gathered watching TFTM on the big screen in the lobby. Naturally, I stopped to watch. A friend of mine who was from Greece and therefore...

    The new Transformers Deal Thread

    My Ross had Metalhawk (who I bought) but sadly no Twincast (who was the one I really wanted.) I did see that G1 loopy track. If it had been a good homage to the old Tyco slot car track, I would have gotten it. As it was, the Transformers branding was pretty much contained to the box and a...

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I'd keep Bumblebee above '07, but I'll admit that it's a close race. I feel like Bumblebee was the better story, but '07 was the better "spectacle."

    Retro Comics was always my go-to until the crash.

    Interesting old transforming toyline that I just discovered

    They seem to be roughly 1:64, Hot Wheels/Matchbox scale. For the Chopper and Van, they unfolded into playsets. Found some old commercials from GiG (same Italian company that distributed Transformers back in the day)

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see firetrucks fighting with sharks!

    I would not be shocked to see the new Studio Series Long Haul remolded / repainted into Landfill as they actually do share a lot of visuals with the truck front forming the chest. Mixmaster into Quickmix wouldn't be quite as on-the-nose, but I would probably still buy it.

    Toys Transformers Merch Retro-Review: G1 Stamps!

    I have to admit, I've never been a huge G1 toy collector. I'll definitely pick them up if I find them at garage sales / thrift stores / flea markets where the prices are reasonable (or ridiculously low on a good day), but I've never made a point of trying to seek them out, as modern toys are so...

    Toys Transformers Merch Retro-Review: G1 Stamps!

    Beautiful pictures and great review. I never knew about the Optimus head carrying case. Now I have an intense need for one of them.

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I'd be glad if this comes to fruition. I loved One and would like to see more in this world.

    Studio Series discussion

    This comes up occasionally, and my opinion is pretty much the same. I do vastly prefer the look of clear windows. Ideally, they're somewhat tinted to hide the folded up robot bits inside, but it's not 100% necessary. Painted windows aren't an absolute dealbreaker, but I do wish they'd avoid...

    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    We can send a man to the moon, but we can't make this a reality? We've failed as a society.

    G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    I don't really follow GI Joe, but I would buy some reasonably priced Mega Construx Joe/Cobra figures as they'd scale nicely with Transformers

    The Original Gobots returning to TV

    Ah, well that wouldn't be so bad, then. I don't have Prime, but I do have an Amazon account.

    The Original Gobots returning to TV

    Aaaaand Amazon is shutting down Freevee. Well, I guess I got a couple few weeks of enjoyment out of it.

    Interesting old transforming toyline that I just discovered

    Yeah, they definitely seem to vary in how successful the combined robot modes are. I wish I had access to better images of the rest of them. Surely SOMEONE out there has to have good pictures.

    Interesting old transforming toyline that I just discovered

    I follow a Facebook group that showcases obscure old robots from the 70's through the 90's. Recently, someone posted in search of information on a toy that they had had as a child. Some various people chimed in, and long story short, they were a from a Spanish toyline called Autotech by a...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see firetrucks fighting with sharks!

    I've been checking my Ross and a Burlington Coat Factory out of town that I was near over the weekend, but no luck so far. I didn't need a full priced Twincast, but I would definitely take a severely discounted one.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    And it wouldn't be completely without precedent. Hasbro did a Legends of Cybertron version back at SDCC 2005.
