I like it! Now you just need to work in his time as an extreme skateboarder.

This could work with Orion Pax. The myth of Orion is very old on Earth, a hunter myth we get from ancient Greece which in all likelihood predates ancient Greece. And "Pax" is just Latin for "peace." So "Orion Pax" could be a translation of "peaceful hunter" or, if you wanted to stretch it, a...

That they're going (primarily) DW with Megatronus/The Fallen and G2 for Liege Maximo is a good sign in my opinion. The Aligned designs were uninspired and really embodied just how bland Transformers design of the early 2010s could get. Plus robot Loki is no buys but G2 Liege? All the buys...

It sounds more "alien," but otherwise I prefer "Orion Pax" myself. Yeah, it uses faux Latin but it's not the first or last time the franchise indulged in that. Dreamwave's take on G1 seems to mostly be forgotten with IDW1, Sunbow, and to a lesser extent Marvel and IDW2 seeming to be the...

yeah.......

Yikes. I had a relatively easy time of it, with only one limb on each Ravage really being troublesome. Sorry your tolerances seemed to be so shot :(

I don't mind Predaking and Devastator being larger than either the CW or Legacy combiners, because they weren't Scramble City style so in my mind they're "different" which means they don't have to be the same size. Truth be told, though, scale has always, and will always, be whack. I recently...

Oh yeah. I've been repurposing him as Finback since Classics became a thing. He and Energon Scorponok are the two oldest figures still on my main CHUG shelf (I don't have the space for Titans so Scorponok gets to just be a regular dude in the LGI-verse). He is, on the whole, the worst of the...

We don't talk about that. I mean Transformers' tendency to gravitate towards faux Greek and faux Latin is fun to dunk on, but "Orion Pax" still has "hero's journey" energy, ya know? "Optronix" sounds like a place my dad buys new glasses from.

Hopefully they'll do more characters in this line if Optimus and Megs sell well enough. The problem with PR wasn't that Hasbro couldn't... it's that they didn't want to. Once Goldner died the regime at Hasbro just didn't care.

I love it when TT gets down to nonsense like this

This being a toy that I can buy at Walmart is messing with my "was reading DW at the time" brain

One explanation I heard was that Cybertronians give themselves their own names. If they haven't found a name they like then they just stick with whatever their numerical designation was when they came online. Orion Pax named himself, but B-127 and D-16 hadn't found names they liked yet. This...

I had that question as someone in his mid 30s when I took my US citizenship test! People must still be getting it wrong if it's still on official evaluation. We in the field of academic history like to say that history is endlessly foundational. Whatever the main topic is, you have to give at...
