You know, say what you will about the quality of the Bay movies, I think that the rise in Transformer's ability to command retail shelf space can be traced directly back to their success. If we hadn't suffered through Skids and Mudflap, we never would have gotten a Jhiaxus.

They're just trying to replicate the "Classics" Seeker experience. Wide-release of Starscream, followed by Skywarp only in a store-exclusive two pack, then Thundercracker only existing as a part of a Botcon box set until 4 years later. Those were the days!

Damn, you beat me to it.

I'd wager that the paint app budget that would have made that possible was used up, or I'm sure they would have. That's exactly the kind of little extra touch that the Transformers team has been trying to do lately.

Yes, Strafe from TFW2005 posted some pics in a thread over on that forum: thread There's a few great ones in there. Most of the Gamer Geeks are must-haves, like Pew Pew Pew, Go-Naut, Retro Recon, Joystick. They're all pretty great.

The Wheeljack you THOUGHT you knew was secretly Wheeljack's evil twin brother. The REAL Wheeljack had amnesia after hitting his head while fainting after finding out that he was accidentally switched-at-birth due to the nurse's split personality disorder and was actually the heir to the...

Well shoot, that is disappointing news.

I lied. After some consideration, I realized that THIS is my preferred configuration:

Got mine yesterday as well. Here's my preferred configuration:

I am glad that Christmas Prime is pretty "on brand" for Christmas, unlike the tragic misunderstanding that led to the poorly received Arbor Day Optimus Prime:

That Christmas Prime is stupid in the best way and I think I have to have it. It also helps that it actually looks like a really good new Optimus mold and a licensed Volvo to boot. Hoping it's not too expensive.

But then, we never would have been treated to the vision of FrogTroi and InsectaWorf

A crime for which he will never be forgiven.

He's Starfleet's only sane man.

Maybe a mecannibal?
