but will they ruin the franchise forever?

Yeah, '89 would be my preference. There have been a lot of good Batmobiles over the years, but that one hit the public conciousness pretty hard.

Whatever they are, I'm assuming that the Nemesis Prime/Clench is a repaint of Optimus/Magnus and Shadow Panther/Ravage is a repaint of Cheetor/Tigatron.

From the Front Page, Jtprime17 over on TFW has leaked listings for a new subline called Swapticons. TRA SWAPTICONS OP ULTRA MAGNUS Product Number: G1055 TRA SWAPTICONS MEG SHOCKWAVE Product Number: G1056 TRA SWAPTICONS BB HOT ROD Product Number: G1057 TRA SWAPTICONS GRIMLOCK SNARL Product...

Brought to you by well-known leaker Jtprime17 on TFW2005, we have assortment information for what sounds like a new gimmick subline called Swapticons. Each toy or pack appears to somehow "swap" between two different characters linked by a common trait. What that means is anyone's guess! See...

Yeah, the cartoon definitely had a much better looking trailer mode. Some very odd decisions all the way around the this design. Also, before clicking your link, I never knew that Ginrai was drawn 100% accurate to the toy, with the real truck front on his back and the fake truck torso being a...

I can't say I'm crazy about this one. Standard robot mode / cab is pretty nice, but I have some quibbles with the trailer. It's too far back in trailer mode, and the proportions are a little off in robot mode. I have no knowledge of cartoon Ginrai, so these opinions are 100% based on my...

I will definitely give the Siege mold credit for going from standard Seeker robot mode to a 90% accurate Tetrajet. It's an A-, but it's still in the A tier. Part of me would love to see an even more refined version of that idea, but another part of me realizes that it'd be extremely hard to...

I'm expecting my Wheeljack today. These things are beautiful nonsense and I love them. Honestly, I was a little disappointed that Siege wasn't a line made up 100% of this sort of figure. There weren't that many established Cybertronian modes, but I would have loved a whole line of toys made...

I halfway wonder if this sample is missing one paint operation? Like, if you had the white border around the faded flames, it'd be pretty close?

was tied up all day, so I missed Pulse which is my usual go-to. Luckily I was still able to get one ordered on BBTS

There's a theater in a better town about 45 minutes from here that gets a lot of these events. I'll have to see if they are showing it.

Ooh! Make this a new iteration of Megaplex. His normal form is a Seeker, but he can also transform into a Megatron body double when needed.

I kind of wish the real G2 "tank front chest" style transformation had stuck around. That's a great look. You lose the iconic arm cannon, but you could always make it detach and connect to the arm as an option.

But a really bad one. Very "how do you do, fellow kids" sort of vibe.

Detritus needed to be a little less flesh tone. At least as far as I can tell from pics on the Wiki (wik-piks, as I like to call them) it's accurate to the original toy, but a deeper brown and army khaki would have been a lot more pleasant of a look.

There's already been the one that came with the Centurion pack and the one that was part of Core Class Megs. They could use either of those.

Yeah, that would 100% be my preference. It seems like an obvious solution that has somehow never been attempted. And being a new, never-before-used alt mode for Megatron, it would be a pretty interesting new development that may spur some people to buy that otherwise might be fine with the...

Yeah, SS86 Megatron is definitely the most "just curious to see what they do here" upcoming figure. I'm guessing it's just going to be the most cartoon-accurate robot mode they can do that transforms into a tank that looks like it's made out of gun parts. I'm just hoping they get the head...
