BM Cheetor had some really scary transformation joints but his points of articulation were generally floppy. He’s the only one I had. Also consider hybrid style convoy, to enjoy the worst truck mode ever aside from maybe the twopack Optimus with the spinny waist.

My deepest condolences. would you like another?

Lol maybe they'll do the opposite of the Robot Masher toy and make Rescue Bots Heatwave by accident this time.

Way I see it, Onslaught’s chest isn’t part of the vehicle mode so they could easily retool it into an approximation of Heatwave’s. I don’t think Heatwave would warrant an all-new mold since he only has fiction limited to defunct niche Botcon stuff and their Commander schedule’s already packed...

It does fulfill the military truck torso, two planes, a tank and a helicopter combination but the vehicles are different in practice and robot modes would be way off unless they devote a lot of retooling. Depends on how much fidelity they want on a relatively minor character at a cumulatively...

In other news i ended up preordering a knockoff of first edition Prime Bulkhead. Comes without the random gold on the original toy and has two maces, the Solus hammer and blasters. Have the original but the colors never were my preference and the added stuff’s cool.

Why does Bumblebee have the matrix in the zoomed out group photo?

I admire the balls on Threezero. Even Bandai hasn’t tried to charge that much for a Mazinger Z or something.

Let’s see what new stuff’s on sale. Surely there’s bound to be some cool stuff that’s priced decently. Jesus Christ.

It’s also one of the least popular series. Didn’t even get an OVA like Zone did. Solo star convoy might do well but tack the other two on and it’s gonna tank like the $400 lightsaber they were peddling.

it’s Optimus in a cheap Brave halloween costume. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world but nothing exceptional considering he’s got nothing special among Optimuses aside from connecting to dollar store Fighbird and a box in truck mode.

May as well make an entirely new toy at that point.

A local retailer put up preorders for a POTP Optimus Prime reissue. Not the toy from that line I'd pick to reissue but there's that for anybody who still needs an Optimus or Orion at this point.

Those are the same people who want gray Megatrons and Dinobots with yellow.

You’d think they’d just take a photo of the half-vehicle and a photo of the combined mode and save themselves the trouble.

Took a look at my Ironhide. I’d recommend filing or sanding down the tabs on the roof that connect into the windshield part and the tabs on the side windows that attach to his forearms in vehicle mode. The roof/shin parts undergo a lot of tension in vehicle mode and take an uncomfortable amount...

I won’t lie: clear plastic looks way better. At the new smaller scale though with more involved transformations, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. That said, if they do painted windows, pick a color that doesn’t look like crap

Which part broke?

Probably some intern picking a wiki image as their reference again. Or maybe a digibash from some fan forum.
