That's my problem with it. IDW, near the end of their time with the licence, made a big deal about rolling out a new Beast Wars story. And it was just... the Mainframe show with some OCs added. There was nothing it had to tie into. It could have been its own thing, and given how it was a...

Of all of Sorensen's... creative... flourishes that stuff and the FFoD name drops were by far the least egregious for me. The FFoD stuff gave recognizable names to guys who should have been named all along, and this stuff? Well I appreciated how it introduced some fluidity to Cybertronian...

Star Wars and Marvel kids stuff has sort of homogenized around a four inch scale with basic articulation. It's honestly not too bad, even if Spin Master is doing more at that size for a comparable price with DC. Still, their offerings aren't that terrible all things considered, if you just...

I think I prefer that. Forcing human forms into a toy that had to transform into an animal was never going to work. Might as well lean into the body horror and make it a feature rather than a bug.

One thing I liked from The Allspark Almanacs was the backstory they gave for the Autobots and Decepticons in the Animated universe. The Autobots began as a subgroup of Protectobots, who began as a subgroup of Guardians. The Decepticons, meanwhile, arose out of the Destrons. You can...

TJOmega can be a big No Fun Fuddy :p The Animorphs stuff just didn't work, that much is true. Still, I feel like the Andalite figures that didn't have to try and make a human form work were pretty cool monster/Transformer action figures. The Tri-Rex suffers from the problem the other human...

I mean... Legacy did a whole subline of cancelled G2 decos that were as garish as possible. As for the Bayformer figures being drab... the whole point of Studio Series is screen accuracy. Can't blame Hasbro if the film makers made a pile of silver shards. That's just what the designs are.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other 😛

I kind of get why because it's the single most complete source of Cybertronian pre-history so if you want to explore that stuff the CoP is as good a place to start as any. That doesn't make it good, though. I'd argue that the CoP is best used as a source of ideas to draw from, and change and...

I feel like SkyBound shortening the Great War to two hundred years is a step in the right direction.

A few things... IDW had three separate founder groups and it all got a bit wahoozy. You had the Guiding Hand, who was Primus and his fellow gods. Then the Knights of Cybertron. And then the Thirteen. The problem is that the KoC and Thirteen both exist in the same role, narratively, as the...

Hasbro canonizing the definitive Thirteen was always going to happen. And it could have even been fun. The problem was they did it in the most boring and eye rolling way possible. That being said, a story can be as bad or as good as the means by which it's told. I hated the idea of The...

I'm really excited to see what they do at that price point after seeing Micronus.

I think it's cool how they've been innovative with these figures. Megatronus does nothing unique, but he's easily the most fun and chunky Leader we've had in a while. Prima has the deep cut that is his FFoD head. Solus has neat touches like her elf shoes and blacksmith apron that imply...

"Oh there it is!"
