    Transformers Hall of Fame 2024 voting now open - until Sept 9

    That was a thought I had back when DW established their list of Matrix bearers because having "Alpha Prime" and "Alpha Trion" as separate guys didn't seem to click right. Especially considering that A3 having that space would be consistent with his traditional depiction. When Hasbro canonized...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see firetrucks fighting with sharks!

    He's delightful. Very cleverly engineered and so fun to pose. The downside is that he's on the smaller side, but he does scale with the rest of the mainline TF One guys. So as a collection they're internally consistent.

    Customs Custom G1-ified DotM Sentinel Prime

    I only recently realized that the CW Hot Shot/PotP Inferno mould shared an alternate mode with DotM Sentinel Prime, specifically a Rosenbauer Panther 8x8 firetruck. This, and the general excitement behind my favourite problematic boy with the ML repaint and his role in TF One, pushed me to try...

    I picked up a complete set of Star Seekers at the 8220 N Dale Mabry Walmart. No idea if they still have 'em but might be worth checking it out if you can get out there.

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    In the same interview they mentioned they'd never run out of Titans. Which tells me they're not gonna just ignore Animated Omega. He's absolutely on the shortlist for the size class. Smaller Titan class? What? What makes you think it's going to be "smaller"? People have explained that Star...

    First off, thanks for these! I've been waiting to see dedicated artwork of these models. To this point though... I think Hasbro would keep TF One designs to Studio Series and leave the Generations releases to pull from comics and tv shows. That would ingenuously allow them to double dip on...

    The problem is that the very people who are tired of Optimus and Megs are the diehards- those of us who care enough to find a Transformers message board and post on it. We consume more TF media than most other people, of course there's an outsized subgroup of us tired of the status quo. But...

    Sadly no toy. You're right. I was confusing DinoZaurs with Dinosaucers

    Allosaurus is my favourite dinosaur and has been since I was a kid. I've been waiting YEARS of a Sentai/Power Rangers or Transformers robotic Allosaurus and it's been nothing but broken dreams so... YES PLEASE

    I'm sad now 😔 I'm even more sad! 😭 Last time I made it back home to Ontario before the pandemic was for a friend's birthday and I hit up a Toys R Us both to see what stuff was available in Canada and just to hit one up again since they all closed in the States. And it definitely felt like the...

    True enough, but I've been in the fandom since I hoped on the internet looking for info about RiD '01, and I feel like I've been around long enough to notice general trends. "Why doesn't Optimus come with a trailer?" was a pretty loud complaint during the Classics run. "Why does Optimus come...

    It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. One of my favourite wiki gags was the caption they tossed on the Hasbro release of the first MP Starscream; "The fandom rejoiced... and then complained." I remember a lot of complaining back when Voyager Classics Prime came out because he...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'd rather it not be. I used to be on board with ditching the trailer but ER actually got me into the idea. Yeah it doesn't do much, but there's something nostalgically awesome about Prime pulling a trailer and I'd rather have it with the figure I'm putting $50+ down on then having it be an...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    IIRC both Hasbro and TT came to the ideas independently but given the pipeline for these things both sides have known about the other project for a while and so both are just doing their thing for the anniversary. I think it was stated that it was designed to be the size it is to go with the ER...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I know. But it gets tossed around with the implication that it's inherently better than not having diecast and/or the complaint that it doesn't show up in modern products. Which it does. Not mainline, no, but it's still very much used in modern Transformers today. Just that expecting a toy in...
