You'll have to speak up, I can't hear you over the sound of putting names on toys in L33TSP34K.

That definitely sounds like it has the vibe of one of them awesomely mind-boggling "let's use all the toys in this line and then some" mangas we used to get. The Aerialbots are here, the Stunticons are around, short stache Trion, Vector Prime for some Vector Time (Travel), why not.

Well, there is a mispronunciation involved, but mercifully this isn't one of mine. That was more of a reference to people in my local community misreading HenkEI as HenkIE, and pronouncing it like "hankie". Some spell it i-e to this day. Just language thangs.

Eh, tropes are tools. And that at least explains why Star Optimus' artifact is the Zetaiac. I mean, the Zodiac. Yes. No.

Love both of those, and the Megatron that goes with that Primal (or Prime, iirc, in Cybertron). I love a redeco I can more feasibly/comfortably repurpose, since most of the time I'm going to change up the names anyway. Currently, one that comes to mind is DOTM Nascar Sideswipe. There's also...

(continued) The Japanese counterpart to Classics and Universe 2.0, Hentai Henkie Henkei! Henkei! Transformers continued the Japanese packaging vibe that had largely been sustained in previous lines. The line mostly kept to its US counterparts' format, sticking to Deluxes and Voyagers (some...

The 2000s, 5: Classic Hasbro The whole time the Unicron Trilogy was rolling (and indeed before, as a pervasive rumbling underneath), there was talk of a live-action movie being developed. This undertaking missed the 20th anniversary mark, but eventually got some momentum under it and a calendar...

It was 4:45 on a Friday and they had tickets to SummerSlam.

Now if we could just get Hasbro to MAKE one again... The POTP/Selects one was so long ago now, and the SS86 Jazz mold is right there.

The Tom and Jerry vibes are strong.

I wouldn't say it was the tail end of that era. That's still happening five years [oh my GODDDD] later. More like he came out toward the end of a LINE, at which point the budget mojo had already been worked. I mean, Sureshot has the benefit of being (mostly? entirely? they've done such wild...

Adding "universally" to it kind of doomed it.

Redone Crosshairs can be in a 2-pack with redone Crankcase or Windsweeper. Put them in a line with a new Side Burn and Minerva and Strongarm. Compromises to fudge an nth retool out of a mold can be rough. Sometimes things work out and it's a Devcon with enough new parts to capture the character...

Maybe that discussion can continue in a thread and forum better suited to it.

I really wish I'd found a way to get those AOE dino mold reuses. :(

I don't disagree, but I could absolutely not care less. Call it Tim; that's concise as hell. Just release it.

I think that's less the wiki and more people being people, a bad game of telephone.

I'm very curious about this one, as modern articulation can change up the only real weakness of the original, which was the awkward posing of the lanky legs. Some of it will remain just because some of the proportions are more or less the same, but the ankles will be a big help in at least...

This could all have been avoided if the Thirteenth Prime were Skull-Fckr.

And then on top of that every third Transformer he gets has two left hands. And an incomplete var mode.
