I admit I confuse a few of the Stunticons and ALL the Arielbots. Part of the reason I waited till Bruticus was confirmed was I wanted a mix of alt-modes, it's why my first CW combiner was Defensor. For color, I am good with either extreme, simply because I've seen both done well. Devestator is...

Very nice video for Predaking, editing for my price speculation which was too low, it's actually $450 at BBTS. 300 mm is 11.8 inches, so taller than the Combiner Wars standard and shorter than the Frame style (according to what I saw in Dave's Reviews, since the only Frame Combiner I have so...

I was hoping the 'Pulse Combiner' leak listing was Monstructor, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was a TFCC homage Nexus Prime homage, like how they did Gift Set Menasor. Was Nexus one of the statues in the pictures? I've totally lost track of who was who in art vs. toy at this point or...

And durability. Very few things from then ever broke, and when they did (Energon Starscream and Snow Cat) they did it on clear joints.

*Bell rings.* *Shark gets his wheels.* *Bell is returned to factory by confused angel with a note explaining it is defective.*

It may be a different toy, his head is wrongly colored too.

Re: the haul, wow, you got both bases covered at once! "I did it! I did it! I'm doing the 'G1 Prime Leap', look!" "He got that high up by having a bunch of explosives go off under him, I've TOLD you this!" -He tried so hard, bless him...

Does this mean that some people think Quintus Prime is actually a misidentified Beast Wars Prowl?

Though the side-tusk things do make it look like he's anime-crying from some angles. Meanwhile...

Thank you, I never saw the detail, before. In those frames you can see the cars and planes on the back of the legs but Bruticus has solid legs from the knee down. I also realized since Onslaught uses the truck guns on his own and Bruticus's back both, that the 'frame' parts are actually rather...

Well, assuming the 'full' art that was shown today is accurate (and we know already that it often isn't, the "Star Convoy/PowerMaster Optimus Prime hybrid statue in the art doesn't so far actually exist) then Bruticus IS a different use of the frame system, where Brawl and Swindle are on the...

"And when they go wild, ALL the Matrices show!!!" "Ok, that's it, I don't CARE what sort of Utopian World results in your post-war setting, Wreck-Gar and Swindle are never allowed to work together again." "And then things get REALLY crazy when the Kotobukiya girls show up!" "-CUT!!!!"

Re: 5mm pegs, "sort of"? Most of their pegs and joints definitely are in that range, but they're oddly shaped, so they don't plug in easily. It was a spare Z-builder bit I tried to modify as an adapter to attach an Animated axe to HasLab Optimus, but I had to sand the tapered end quite a bit and...

If the universe is half dead, half alive, blame Dr. Frankenstein. Or possibly Walt Disney, depending on who you ask.

The trouble is, there's no such thing as infinite growth. There's a finite amount of expansion possible, there's no way around that. Collaborations are just like symbiosis in natural systems, a way to skirt that rule by cooperatively expanding into each other's resources by sharing them to...

Am I the only one who is reminded of the Zoids Z-Builders that formed around these small cube-cores? I have a ton of them, and they look so similar in some cases!

The bird is NOT the word, it is, in fact, a hand gesture. A hand gesture that can only be made correctly if the hand itself is made out of a dinosaur, which makes dealing with the aftermath of the Report very tricky depending on just what the Report contains. Or so I understand, anyway, I...

I wonder if SkyByte will have a red repaint now.

I think the big problem is, if a brand operates entirely on nostalgia and has no NEW fans coming, in, it's basically limiting it's own lifespan as a product line, and quite a few 'toy' companies are nowadays just nostalgia companies. That's part of why I never got the frustration some have over...

It does make sense, though, to have something like a unifying scale. A lot of other makers are copying the general six inch frame of reference, to one extent or another, same as MEGO used to be the 'gold' eight inch standard of a different era, and still rules in some collectors circles to the...
