    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Wasn't it specifically Lio Convoy's body with BM Snarl's head so that they could fudge it either way the mould use permissions came down? Now THAT would be an interesting figure.

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    I was always against breaking stuff like IDW off from G1 because you look at it and it's clearly G1-inspired and rooted. Had Skybound started its G1 continuity by having the 'bots and 'cons get here in the present I'd never think twice about it. Skybound stuck very faithfully to the classic G1...

    I don't know if I'm over the idea of Optimus and Megs being pals pre-war but I'm starting to be over the idea of Megs as a social revolutionary Who Just Goes Too Far. Why not make the Decepticons the fascists? Would fit the end goal better. Make Megs Orion's pre-war buddy he lost to like... the...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Sorry for the grave dig but the idea of what constitutes a continuity family has been rattling around in my brain thanks to the TF One discussion about where that film might fit and Tuxedo Prime volunteered this thread. Posting here seemed more on topic than filling the TF One thread with stuff...

    I'm talking about the prequel material for the first film which depicts Optimus as the head of Cybertron's science academy and Megatron as the planet's "Lord Protector" before he decides he wants the AllSpark and kicks off the war. This movie seems to depict Orion and D-16 as nobodies before...

    I bought the first mould and I preordered this version. Yeah they got me. Oh well.

    Not to turn this into a Wiki discussion but I think there's value in lumping BB and RotB in with the Bay movies. They all share very similar aesthetics even if characters do get redesigns. And it's not like the five Bay films had the most rock solid continuity among themselves. TF One, though...

    I haven't seen the movie but I suspect guys like Shockwave, Soundwave, and Starscream live since they're top tier names and ideally this thing wants to kick off a franchise. Not gonna kill all the A-list guys in the origin story. I know this was mostly in jest, but the more I think about it the...

    I think that between the Selects being clearly toy-centric and Kingdom launching alongside SS '86 it's clear that Kingdom Cyclonus was always Hasbro's take of an animation-accurate deco. Given recent history its very possible they re-release that colour scheme (with better grey plastic) in a...

    That was pretty much what Kingdom Cyclonus was.

    I hinted at it when I mentioned John Warden wanting another shot at Roadbuster when I said "y'all are in luck" instead of "we're in luck" because... I kinda like T30 Roadbuster. Whirl is more of a mixed bag because they tried to shove two versions of the character design onto one figure but...

    So according to TF Wiki the Dorvack moulds that became Whirl and Roadbuster have Ashi Productions copyrights stamped into them and the company's AP logo was included on the Transformers G1 packaging from Hasbro for those toys. So it seems that the Dorvack IP- including the character designs...

    Bandai owns the Brave IP these days and TT is doing Brave stuff again for the first time in like twenty years so I'd say they can. According to wikipedia (I know) the tv show was conceived as a means to promote Takatoku's toys. So either it was owned by Takatoku (and thus Bandai today), Fuji...
