Me trying to get as many shots in before it gets dark to take advantage of the natural light...

I'm not even saying he needs to be called The Last Autobot, if they really wanted to keep the Thirteen unaffiliated with the contemporary 'bot and 'con factions (though various depictions of Megatronus really call that assumption into question) but taking the character and slapping a new name on...

I don't see Hasbro rushing to push Zoids onto Western toy shelves, do you?

Now granted my Marvel G1 knowledge is pretty base level but... wasn't The Last Autobot fairly significant in the Marvel G1 lore? Like ok Logos I can understand, he was from a niche Japanese piece that hadn't even been fully translated into English. But surely Aaron Archer and Rik Alvarez (head...

I agree with that. Which means that the Thirteenth could be... anyone. Rik's assertion hints that the people behind Aligned/the Covenant felt someone special had to be #13 but... why? Make Prima the Big Damn Hero and make #13 just... someone else. Easy. It sounds like Optimus being made the...

As someone who studied medieval history and really digs Arthur's mythos... I'd have dug it.

FFS Rik... "Hey guys! This is Awesomus Prime, the thirteenth and Primus' most favourite and bestest boy! He vanished while fighting Unicron/Devil Z/Dracula/the Zodiac Killer and some say he'll return one day when Cybertron needs him most." Right there you basically have just done Optimus'...

I'm imagining Megatron standing off to the side with the biggest troll face in the world. I see you too are a man of culture. The whole video is full of terms that sound like they're only there because Hasbro's copyright lawyer went Christmas tree over the script. When I was a young-in and...

I think older collectors (30 and up) need to get out of their own head space. Some of us still have Classics '06 Optimus as our collection's Optimus because they like him that much and nothing since has really compelled them. So every take on G1 Optimus since is like... enough, enough. But...

As I've gotten older I've become more and more critical of Aaron Archer's overall philosophy. One can appreciate a person's talent and achievements while still being critical of them.

I donno. I suspect there will always be a market for not just G1, but the Beast Era, UT, Bayverse, Animated, Prime, etc... casts. There are new collectors coming into the hobby all the time. And older figures, even if they're perfectly fine and don't need much if any improvements, will always...

I happily went all in on the Infernac guys because they were new and fun. But you know what? Archer was wrong. Like... I look at my SS '86 Dinobots. Or ER Optimus (or SS '86 Optimus for the rest of you, no I'm not out of touch you're all out of touch!) and it's like... this stuff is perfect...

I'm still incredibly happy with both Victory Sabre and Deathsaurus.

I'm under 300 lbs for the first time in like five years, having dropped 13 lbs over the last month to get to 295.
