I was initially on the fence about this HasLab, for many of the reasons that others have already stated. But I absolutely love Fire Convoy, and this seems like the best avenue for those of us that want a modern update (even though I still consider the original to be modern). I just wish that I...
Cool little site; not sure if I ever visited that one. I guess the Beast Machines Area never made it past the "Under Construction" phase! And it is kind of quaint to see references to the Movie at a time when there was only one Movie.
Edit: I wonder if that Transmetal Megatron is still for...
100% this! I miss the "big reveal" of seeing what the robot mode looks like after transformation. And I know that images in both modes are generally shown on the packaging. It's just that it made that first transformation into robot mode more exciting and rewarding.
Yeah, like Deathy, I had enough by the time Predaking came around. Every now and then I think about getting him but then I'm like, "nah." I still like Devastator in combined mode though, and I think that the recent Stunticons / Menasor are mostly good (but don't get me started on Breakdown...).
Beast Machines was a great series that took a lot of chances. Not all of them worked, but I'm glad that Hasbro took the shot. Also, it cannot be overstated how impactful the return of vehicles was! I was in the screening room at Botcon '99 when we were treated to the first look at the show...
Qft. Before the internet devolved into a giant mall.
Edit: I've mentioned it before, but to me, The Allspark feels connected to those early TF sites in the best way. It's one of the many reasons why this place has been my internet home for so long.
The Deluxe Insecticons have been on my want list for a while too. To be honest, I want the Omnibots harder and would rather have them. However, these redo / retools are enough for me to scratch the itch, and I feel like they'll do the job just fine.
He's very cool, Gizmoboy - you should do it! I've picked up each of the G.I. Joe crossovers so far, and IMO, Soundwave is the best; he looks good in both modes. I initially felt like the Thunder Machine was the wrong choice of vehicle, but after having it a while, it sort of works. Plus, my...
Yeah, I think that the modern Fasttrack might be a bit on the large side to interact with a vintage Scorponok - especially in city mode. But then again, his weapon mode might be kinda cool for him to hold, so...to each their own, I guess!
^Yep. The alt mode for TR Fort Max (and Metroplex before him) definitely felt like an afterthought. What bugs me the most is that I shouldn't be seeing giant, visible hands in the alt mode of a $150 - $200 figure. Especially when they occupy a prominent spot of the alt mode. Not being able...
Let's see...off the top of my head, they would be:
-The "...and definitely don't shake hands with her!" scene from the G1 episode, Enter the Nightbird.
-Any G1 episodes involving Skyfire.
-Most any scene from The Transformers The Movie is permanently burned into my brain. However, when...
