Oops. We went from toy design, to elbows, to shark wheels...

That's another thing with Wheel-Byte, the actual wheels! They're painted AND metal pinned, free-rolling! He rolls better than quite a few actual CAR bots nowadays.

"If you're Happy and you Know It clap your...uh...ok, ok, no worries...just got to think about this...." There is so much about this toy that's bizarre, the way the arms are built makes for a great TM2 asymmetry even though anything behind the wrist ISN'T, it's just mold-mirrored. The upper...

Depending on what the Junkion has been watching, "Scrappy Slagging Spastic BotBot BloodyBooger The Second", function: Insult Comic. Repeating his own name causes Hasbro executives to have to check British English dictionaries to be sure they won't be sued.

re: Optimus/Grimlock, it certainly has been tried, for a long while now, but doesn't get traction. I once when Toys R Us existed got a freebie mini-block kit that made a small Grimlock with a tiny Op to ride it. I still have it too, though the mini-Optimus gets more use from my nephew who has...

"Shale", which can refer to corrosion and rusting on metal, and also rock where you can find oil? I'm not familiar with the character, but if it has a club, Shale could smash someone with their shillelagh...'fracking' the other Dinos call the attack, though no one knows why...

I'm probably a curmudgeon anyway, rather than pay aftermarket prices for that Space Suit figure, I just got an orange Roboto during a clearance sale and stood it up in the corner of my Grayskull. Does the job! Edit: And got a better look at the 'Vintage' Grayskull and Space Suit set...I...

No worries, He-Man has about a BAZILLION characters, and a great many of them overlap their gimmicks (arm-swapping Roboto/Triclops, three faces/eyes rotating, neck/limbs extending, battle armor EVERYONE, etc), I don't know them all and I had a Skeletor the year he came out for the first time...

Could always do what I do. Wait YEARS due to a mix of economics and apathy, so your Collection Upgrades come in weird jumps and nothing ever matches. Like how I used a Cybertron Downshift as my Wheeljack till Reveal The Shield, then years after I went straight to Origins Wheeljack. Or from a...

I don't know...any Animated Blitzwing that does NOT wind up with a Man-E-Faces crossover I think missed the boat, despite the hero/villain mix being off.

I think the new scale for 200x is due to the difference between the original figures and the taller/differently proportioned ones. I have an original 200x Trap Jaw and he's quite a bit bigger. That being said, I don't think it was a smart choice. It makes every prior base/vehicle a question as...

Thank you Richard! I had mentioned that Hot Wheels SkyByte was the one thing from cyber world I was looking for. I was at Target just Friday. Nothing. But today there was ONE, a friend saw it, and now I've got it! As utterly bizarre as the original pictures made it appear! I'll try to get a good...

While it wasn't a thing for the G1 toy I hope Bruticus's various weapons can combine for the super robot, seeing as Ruination is probably a PulseCon combiner or something later, like they did with Toy Menasor. Though it wouldn't surprise me if the Brawl double-cannons somehow added to...

According to the most recent pictures it's 99% to Botanica already, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was one of the Amazon exclusives later or the like.

Agreed, I never understood the whole "But they should have named it-" things. If I ever think I have a better name I just change it to whatever I want, it's MY shelf... I am considering Bruticus. Not sure. I've found most of the 'frame' stuff to be a bit dull and I did miss out on Liokaiser...

If you're referring to the joke I made, it was about the original RID Autobots. I don't know if the Hot Wheels guys have clear joints? I hope not. Also, for completionists, in theory any Volkswagen Bumblebee and truck Prime are Hot Wheels Transformers too and so is Tracks.

Maybe he's just a Robotech fan, in the Roy x Minmei fanfc camp... Though the idea of Cybertronian civilians on a Wrestling-style showboating racing circuit now has my attention. Explains the lack of factions, the gaudy licenced alt-modes, the mixed corporate sponsorships, everything. Hasbro and...

So what you're saying is the fourth movie was the Thor Looser? -I never saw it and till now didn't know there was a fourth Thor movie, so I guess that does actually mean something...

Maybe he's in the Cybertronian franchise of the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Intimidating alt-mode. Tuned for high-performance street racing. Sits at home on the couch watching Svengoolie and yelling about how the Transformers Franchise peaked in 1986.

The awkward part will come when Fool-Around and Find-Out attend the Cold Slither concert at Comic Con and accidentally live up to their names on live TV.
