    Robots in Disguise (2001) Appreciation Thread

    Yeah, I dodged a bullet with mine but definitely heard about some of the issues.

    If Hasbro were to reissue the G1 Citybots as Titan Class figures, would you get one?

    Yeah, I don't think that I would be interested in paying current Titan-class prices for vintage, mostly-non-Titan sized G1 toys. I've got the G1 stuff already, and would be much more likely to buy modern updates of Metroplex and Fort Max. I'm good with Titans Trypticon and Scorponok though, as...

    One favorite thing from each era (or line, or year) of Transformers

    This is fun! I will try to cobble together some of my personal "high water marks" from over the years: -G1 - Just Transformers existing in general! They're all pretty incredible, but Prowl and Trailbreaker were my first in '84, so they'll always be special. -G2 - Tank Megatron and Sideswipe...

    Studio Series discussion

    I am in the minority of folks that think Galvatron could do with a second pass. I get that for most, the recent Kingdom/Legacy releases are fine - and they are. But I feel like his proportions in robot mode need to be tweaked a bit (chest, legs), and he could do with a different better head...

    Robots in Disguise (2001) Appreciation Thread

    I always liked that Combat Hero Prime mold. Never picked up the Scourge deco of it but it looks pretty cool in black. I personally don't care what he's called, but if he's The One True Scourge to you, cool; if not, that's also cool.

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    I ceased my in-person toy hunting years ago. It was fun to a point, but became far too frustrating (and expensive!) to continue. If I find something toy-related that I want at a brick and mortar store these days, it's usually a happy accident. Preordering online is definitely the way to go if...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    Perhaps the blade would make the set feel more complete. But it would seem to me that having a solid base to hold the figure(s) - especially when wielding the sword - would be more of a priority.

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    I hear you. I wish that the Tier 2 and Tier 1 Unlockables had been reversed. I mean, I'm optimistic and I think that the campaign will make it to 16k backers. But it seems like stands should have been first.

    I like his head sculpt.

    Diaclone Reboot

    Preorders are up for the Wave 3 Vehicles: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/268377?o=1 I went in on them; they look really cool and fun.

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    You said it. My sociology major taught me how to interpret data and that's pretty much all that I use it for. I mean, I like sociology, I just don't use most of what I learned in my 9-to-5 gig.

    Top reasons why Prime was a better leader then Hot Rod or Top Reasons why Hot Rod was (40th)

    Ultra Magnus was the best leader. He was not prepared, not groomed for it, and had leadership thrust upon him. He took on the role anyway and did a great job (until he was drawn and quartered). But still, I admire the guy for stepping up and [briefly] taking command.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I just don't really care about the 5 pack. I've already got most of the figures from the first go-around and honestly, I'm kind of over Hound now. I've got the WFC Stege release and while it's not my ideal version, it's good enough. I would like the earth mode (or would have liked it, were it...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    Backed it. I love what they're doing with Super Fire Convoy and do not want to pass up the opportunity to get him. Magnus and Bluebolts will likely remain in the box but good god, will I play with Convoy.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    SS86 Swoop and the ever-elusive Hound will be available as an exclusive Jiffy Lube two-pack. The preorders will first go live on Pulse at precisely 3:12pm on a random Wednesday, and will stay open for 4 minutes (or until they sell out; whichever comes first). The comic decos of each will...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    That Sandstorm looks very good in all 3 modes! The Marvel stuff is cool I guess, but the changes aren't enough for me to double dip on either character. I feel like they're wringing all they can out of that Siege Shockwave, so there will probably be an all-new mold in the next couple of years.

    I love that dune buggy. Can't find any further info on it though.

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    I'm still good with the LG Super Ginrai and Godbomber combo, honestly. They can be a bit wonky, and the transformation is kinda "eh", but both still do a great job of representing who they are supposed to represent, in a still-modern-enough-for-me way.

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    They could just do a nice nod to Generations 2.0 Galvatron by designing the RID version first as a Haslab entry, scrapping it, and then doing a mass-market release that still has weird, "path not taken" elements all over it.
