Also if they can properly size it, being able to put other autobots in there is really cool. Same reason the Soundwave toy was awesome, really.

There was a definite drop in fidelity when we went from sprites, which were just getting better and better quality, to primitive polygonal models. The industry had gotten very good at rendering sprites but 3D graphics were still in their infancy. The PS1/N64 generation could have stood to have...

I've said it elsewhere, but Beast Wars is so dated at this point that it honestly just looks stylized to me. Like it's an intentionally retro design.

Mainframe is still around (As Mainframe Studios) and it looks like they primarily make animated Barbie stuff these days.

The problem with the cutting edge is that it gets dulled over time. In 1996, with the technology and budget they had available, Beast Wars looks pretty good, but nearly 30 years later it just looks dated because it's been surpassed so much.

Those two vehicles look pretty different, honestly. Like they didn't even get the hood correct, even ignoring the engine block, the middle is concave in cyberverse but convex on the toy. All of the shapes and stylings are off, the windows are the wrong shade, the wheels are almost flat on the...

Most backers probably weren't getting charged Japan prices, which IIRC, were quite high in comparison.

What in Tarnation is going on here?

The problem typically is they want him to look like cartoon Megatron and that requires finding places for tank kibble so his legs and chest look sufficiently G1. I really feel like some characters, such as Megatron and Arcee, just need new designs instead of trying to fit the square pegs of G1...

No chance in hell this hits my theater, otherwise I'd be there in a heartbeat.

It's April 1st, catch me tomorrow.

Given how terrible the names have been when they're not just direct references to the property (i.e. Gigawatt) I would suspect it's all a rights issue; any name Hasbro slaps onto these figures needs to be something they wouldn't slap onto one of their own figures, so they wind up being...

Yes! Another one off the list! https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/03/28/new-collab-listings-found-star-wars-knight-rider-507610 Not sure how they're going to get $50 out of it unless it includes K.A.R.R. as well. Just need Mad Max's Interceptor and Dom's Charger and I think I'll be good for...

Stop posting things I was going to post before I post them! EDIT: Kind of makes me want to revise the "Star Wars: Super Droid Lifeform" pitch I did awhile ago.

How do you get that coupon? EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. I can almost justify getting the set for $60 even though I only really want Squeezeplay. Prime Cliffjumper can go hang with Prime Arcee, and I guess I'm replacing my Tarn and.. I really have no use for that tarantulus, genuinely.

Kind of impressed they managed to get that Squeezeplay out of Mindwipe. Shame I don't want anything else in this set.

I think the full class breakdown originally came from an old Ghostbusters RPG and basically got incorporated into canon. https://ghostbusters.fandom.com/wiki/CDI_System Class I RPG - These are undeveloped forms, insubstantial and difficult to see. Interaction with their environment is...

In the original film, the ghosts were pretty much pests and the ghostbusters were basically exterminators. Once they started adding in more "human" and intelligent ghosts, that concept breaks down and brings up questions of personhood and how the Ghostbusters have basically installed themselves...

Wanted BM cheetor (I want all of the beast crews in tiny scale so they fit better with the G1 crew), Gears and Silverbolt, but also picked up Chromia (It's a terrible Cyberverse Chromia, but I like the beefier take on the character.) and Shard (who I was eyeballing before due to how cool she...
