See, now they REALLY have to make one. Hell, include three.

Fully agreed on the birds. The WFC mold was solid, and all I'd ask for is a flapping up/down joint for the wings. And, perhaps more simply since it's not an engineering need, some actual retooling to the top surface to be less greeble and more cassette. But I like the idea of just letting the...

At that price point it may be a Power Core Combiners like situation where the limbs have rudimentary robot modes, if that. But who knows.

(shrug) that's fine? I wasn't really basing any of that on what 80s electronics looked like. I'm not sure where that came from.

I kind of need something in between. Stege is too much and looks like a mess. The Sunbow "man in boxes" looks a bit off in an "uncanny valley" sense (which really doesn't apply in its original sense, but I hope the idea comes across). So I need something that has some light texturing, enough...

I'd wager it's a bit of both, as companies are typically trying to set themselves apart while staying within the scope of "what's working now". So more a continuum than an either/or. But that would be an interesting discussion. I'm just usually not paying attention to much more than...

"Black is just cooler, man, you babies with your kiddie baby toys just wouldn't get it." Ah well. I don't even necessarily disagree; even outside the edginess there is a sophistication and elegance to a black box with understated colors. See it all the time outside toys. And that pendulum has...

Chests like that do tend to sell lots of calendars.

Also just the notion of making a Transformer out of that sort of appliance. Good times.

Someday, Botbots, someday...

It does seem to be a "pendulum swinging" situation with them and even Mattel, whose WWE line has occasionally cycled back to lighter-colored cards. Their Cars line too, I think? They had a long run on red cards, then light gray... It's just refreshing after a period of solid, often dark, colors...

These names swing between bland and bad. And nothing that even leverages or puns on "Battersea"? Here's hoping this is a Metroplex pretool or something.

It's nifty, but I don't need it at all and I'm glad for that. But I'd love to see a retool of this into someone else.

It's this.

I wish they'd include both heads or had a swappable masked/unmasked face, but oh well. The color scheme I really want to see is the Silver Knight one, with some chromed bits. But of course there's really no reason to bother making one. Unless they need to pad out the price point and feel like...

There's a first time for everything. Except unseeing this, perhaps.

I think the added articulation is my favorite thing about it. Did see that on Shopee (the set's about twice what Achai's head alone goes for?) but idk how flipping half that set would go.

Gizmoboy! Look over there, quick! ... Damn it, I CAN'T reach into my phone and grab things

Aka the BLAMmoth.

I couldn't decide, so have both. Just pretend I'm Hastak making Soundwaves.
