You have a really weird idea of where MotU is right now. You have a an extremely optimistic concept of where a 40 year old cartoon that was primitive and simplistic at the time would rate with modern kids. It's cool to like and love what you like and love for nostalgia but you're imagining...

Burned through the rest of the drop. Thoughts. Looking forward to the next third of the season a lot. -ZacWilliam, Hoping Breakdown makes it back someday in one piece...

Just watched the first 3 Episodes of the new drop (Season 1 Part 2) and they were REALLY good. One episode focusing on each of the new Maltobots from the end of the last group. -ZacWilliam, off to watch some more eps before lunch.

It's not. Seige was just loosely inspired by the idea of alien vehicles. Buzzworthy is exactly the cartoon designs in the cartoon style as closely as physically possible. -ZacWilliam, they are very different design philosophies/approaches to a similar goal.

"We are telling our own story with the characters we choose not slavishly serving up the exact pieces of a really old cartoon?" -ZacWilliam, I mean they're semi-doing that now, but slowly, as sort of a limited side course apart from the main line.

And Target. -ZacWilliam, cause "Buzzworthy"

I really really want him. G1 Omega Supreme is one of my all time favorite toys/characters. The Guardian robot toy has one of my absolute favorite color schemes: Love blue, white and soft grey together. The E-Hobby version of this is one of my holly grails of toys I would like to own but I've...

Background character with no lines. Would not be surprised if ALL the maximals outside of Primal are. -ZacWilliam, who wants their robots to be characters with personality?

This Friday to be precise. -ZacWilliam, not getting here fast enough at that.

I'd like a Powermaster Prime that looked like the Comic design. He used the body most there and that head is pretty distinct. -ZacWilliam, corse I also would like a Comic scale Fort Max and Scorponok

The most recent time for me was Beastbox White Noise. https://www.amazon.com/52TOYS-Beastbox-WHITENOISE-Deformation-Collectible/dp/B0B6878HXZ I've wanted to try Beast Box for a few years and he was my first time actually going for it and damn is he awesome. The transformation is complex and...

These pictures kinda turned me around on these guys. Sludge looked so awful it turned me off on the whole concept of these guys, Slag was a little better but not enough to counter the Sludge factor and then Grimlock's dino mode looking terrible... I felt like that cemented me on skipping...

RiD Grimlock's previous name was Steelwall. -ZacWilliam, love that bit from Academy.

Nope. Paddles Skar Strafe Slash and Grimstone -ZacWilliam, Just enough to make a second team of five if anyone can talk Hasbro into it...

no. The Dinobot Combiner is a pre mold of Dinoking. This necessitates 6 Dinobots. All the original altmodes plus an Ankylosaur. Skar was a Dinobot in IDW. They changed it to Scarr here to differentiate him from the Powermaster Partner likely. -ZacWilliam, stunned that Swoop is the first Core...

"EDIT: Oh, the Spychangers! They should be huge improvements over their old toys in every way but rolling ability." This is funny to me because I was just fiddling with Spychanger Ultra Magnus last night and thinking: They should really just make more Spychangers. Not updates or generations...

I remember reading an interview with a cartoon creator of the period talking about how the powers that be often required you to put a "bad example" character in cartoons at the time. The Hero modeled how kids should act and was rewarded for it while the Eric-type demonstrated how not to act and...

After just watching another episode... Moon Girl's personality shift from the comic's extremely gifted kid left frustrated, lonely and stifled by her public school and parents who don't understand to the cartoon's upbeat friendly cool smart girl with large loving musical family is kind of a...

The Original Moon Girl: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Girl_(EC_Comics) She's public domain now. I've been reading Lunella since her first appearance because my son was the perfect age for the comic at the time it was coming out and really liked it. (One of his favorites along with...

Just to give an idea how hot I went I nuked some water for 3 minutes in the microwave till it was bubbling and steaming. About a minute in that an they all opened up pretty good on mine. -ZacWilliam, really wish they'd announce the last 3
