Whatever might be said about the place of "divinity and mythology" in the Transformers franchise, I'm not sure I'm on board with calling it "a simple war between factions." Whatever else has been proven about the Transformers, they're not simple.

For those with Amazon exclusives originally said to be shipping in November that you've heard will be shipping presently, if you try to "change shipping speed" and just select your current option again, you'll almost certainly find that the system resets to a more current shipping date. (If you...

It's hard for me to agree that this Wheelie toy is worse than G1, but I'll certainly agree that it's blockier. (This Wheelie toy absolutely looks worse than the TR version, which was... as has already been observed... a floppy mess in vehicle mode)

Sounds like amazing SDCC fodder to me!

True. Since that hasn't already happened, I was thinking of other possibilities, and the previous post about human characters (several of which hail specifically from the Marvel Comics) got me thinking along a different line....

Is there any way we might see a "comic series" (or whatever the print-equivalent of "Studio Series" would be)? Maybe we could finally get a red-helmeted Ratchet that way....

I'm not sure recognizing the fact that we in the US have avoided any actual assassinations in the past 50+ years, when we have so many thousands of gun deaths every single year, is at all the correct metric, when we can so easily point to Japan's near total lack of gun deaths (despite this very...

That's very much what I expect they'll do, and very much what I've no interest in. The BotCon toy from several years ago does that just fine. If that's all they're doing, I don't need another. That, at least, would be different (I didn't get the TR figure), but it's really not what I want.

Actual Pretender or I don't care. I already have a perfectly good non-Pretender Metalhawk.

While I'd certainly be pleased to have the option, the obsessive in me would never be able to ignore that Marvel Ratchet also has a white waist, vs. the cartoon red one.

Apparently not... (Yeah, I know.... I really don't expect Studio Series to finally give me the Marvel version. Still, I'll never not prefer these colors to the animation model)

That term "activist judges" looks more and more hypocritical every day.

I'm mostly bugged by the HUGE tower hub on vehicle mode. It should be about half that tall....

These two goals are by no means mutually exclusive. I've seen commentary more than once that suggests that even if the former (building a case for criminal charges) is successful, it would ultimately mean little to nothing if no minds are changed. Folks who support Trump, or who would take his...

It's just possible (this being Wikipedia) that someone had removed it during the window in which you consulted the site, but it's been there for some time. I checked it myself just after posting my comment (I'd already known that Hasbro had given up Micro Machines, but had forgotten the exact...

I no longer take methatrexate (and being male, would be unlikely to have an abortion, anyway), but I do remember being told that I couldn't (or shouldn't) father a child while taking it, because it could cause severe genetic defects. But, ultimately, this shouldn't be about banning the...

There's assault, and there's assault. I agree with the idea that 45 is a coward, but he's also known to have a temper. After all, he didn't actually punch the Secret Service guy, or actually wring his neck. He just made clear he wanted to, in a moment of temper.

Well, the "they" in my post was specifically the Supreme Court, which has shifted more recently, but your comments about the evangelical right wing more generally are certainly acknowledged.

Honestly, before this past week, I'd have argued that "one doesn't have to be religious to understand the 'murder' argument," but we're getting to the point where "religion" (and, specifically, a specific variety of Christianity) is the out-and-out justification, and they're not even trying to...
