I don't think this is the burn you think it is. Anyhow the vehicle mode is a made up space car. It never looked like anything real. If Override's car mode was based on a real car and the older one better captured the look of that real car then ok. It's not though, so we're basically arguing...

Folks, it may have been seventeen years ago (turns to dust) but I remember Cybertron pretty vividly and I'm NOT getting the hate some people are tossing at this thing. It looks like a great update of the original design.

There's some ignorance about economics here that's been covered. Anyway Sixo must love you... I'm a fan of retro toys. I love classic Power Rangers/Sentai figures, and a lot of Brave stuff I collect has that same retro feel G1 TFers have. I even have a few G1 moulds myself. I dig it. There's a...

I really like Toyhax's offerings. Hasbro's stickers suck because of the quality. They're usually cut at the wrong sizes and printed on material that's flimsy and peals easily.

TR remains my favourite "modern" line due to how fun it was.

Leader 1 is a F-15 (same as the G1 Seekers). Sky Jack (and Maverick) is a F-14.

I really love Classics Prime. Well the Henkei version...but still. That mould/design. It's still awesome to me, even if it's showing its age these days. It survived every other CHUG style Optimus release to replace it on my shelf. That being said when I got ER Prime in hand it was like... this...

Negative? Let's be clear about something. When you take the history of the TF brand under Archer it's clear he accomplished a lot. Even stuff one could say was more Hollywood than Hasbro....the speed to which Archer and his team adapted to the Bayverse designs is incredible. You can see them...

I'm psyched.

I may have had a death ray, but my employees all got an excellent benefits package!

He's the last Classics guy standing in my collection. He's really great and the newer version's faux chest piece really didn't land with me.

Eh? He also could have used that splash of colour that retro US Army emblem give it.

I'm not sure it's "tradition" as much as it is "the brand was different." Transformers wasn't engrained in pop culture in 1994 like it is in 2022. As for the "new bodies moving the timeline forward," I'm a comics fan. An Iron Man fan at that. Costume changes that reflect the time is an idea...

There are a few ways to approach this. The first is that reinvention and uniqueness and freshness are not inherently good things in and of themselves. The products that you wish to imbue with these aspects need to be good. You can also get into the fact that, as has been pointed out, a lot of...

I keep coming back to Galvatron because it was such a head scratcher that encompassed all the insane doublethink of that era. It's 2008, movie stuff is big, and kids don't know what stuffy G1 is. So to make G1 stuff in Universe viable it needs to look and feel like the movie stuff. So alt modes...

I mean I agreed with him at the time. Adult collectors weren't a huge factor, and some G1 concepts didn't seem to fit about what we knew about the 2000s toy business. I guess my point is...either some things changed or what we all thought we knew in 2008 was off base. By all accounts the...

There's something perversely funny about Hasbro trotting out both BtR and Kre-O and never landing with either. Meanwhile Lego nails it on the first attempt and it's like "yes, this is what it was always supposed to be."

I only want...like...two of these. And both are getting their Wrecker sigils covered up. Does that make me a bad person?

It's why I love Warden's tenure. Combiners? Headmasters? Sure! Archer's approach was cool in its own way, but it often felt like his team (or the people directly above him) were too caught up in their own design ethos to just do the thing that works. Like how Universe 2.0, the much anticipated...

I'm just not a fan of flat, matte animation decos. I like a degree of toy-etic, or realistic, decos. I'm also not a fan of the desire to sacrifice everything in the name of 100% Sunbow accuracy. MP 44 having so little of his truck mode actually end up in the robot mode for example, or MP...
