    Transformers: The Basics

    I wish I could read the Binder.

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    To be fair, I would like to be informed of the possibility so I can remember to try and take some care. Some detail would be appreciated, of course, rather than some vague mention of it. Because I'm a moron who also can't afford to replace things, I'd rather avoid creating a need to do so. I...

    Transformers: Cyberworld, WTF (Why The Faces)

    There is mention of a truce, and Grimlock may be putting that and some at risk by doing this, so there may be more to it than just capricious abandonment.

    More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

    That's what I figured it was, but I began to wonder if for some reason it was a homicidal manatee or something.

    Transformers: Cyberworld, WTF (Why The Faces)

    Yeah, if there was ever a show for RID2015's scan-into-a-game gimmick, this would be it. (I will also keep making noises about wanting more more more 5mm accessories, which fits this show so stinkin' well.) I originally wrote "if there was ever a TIME", but replaced that because I'm realizing...

    Transformers: The Basics

    That's what I'm saying. The best way to "make use" of the Messianic hoopla is to not. It's rough and at best is making the most of a dumb situation, I agree, but it's better than the option of "he IS The Guy! ... Now what". A lot of story mileage and character interactions came out of that...

    Transformers: The Basics

    All the more reason to not have that Messianic archetype be the anchor for the Thirteenth. Frankly it's more boring and constrictive than it's really worth. Barber made the best use of it, and that's by kind of sidestepping it, having Optimus leverage the possibility of it despite its not...

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

    Thanks for that. It'll go on the "someday if there's room after the current list and these obscene bills". I do go back and forth between the colors because the Silver Rathalos sometimes reads a bit flat (I just like it as the apparent nonstandard option... Not really an MH guy). Either way, not...

    Transformers: The Basics

    I mean, if the task at hand is to draft something that's supposedly going to align everything and provide a basis for what would come later, you'd think there'd be a more exhaustive effort to gather, well, that everything. I've toyed with the idea of just combining the Megatronus and Liege...

    That Cybertronian Laserbeak is neat! What's the, uh, bloody one?

    Transformers: The Basics

    This is equal parts "makes sense", "at least", and "yeeesh". (I like the idea of Rodimus at least being teased or hinted to link to it, since the 86 movie did have a sorta chosen one, prophecy vibe attached to it. Glad IDW went a slightly different direction and made him insufferable just in...

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

    The proportions are a bit silly and the clunky skirt is a problem. And it looks like it might not be reconfigurable as a cape instead. Still, this has a great look. I wonder if the black and white one will be harder to get or more expensive; I haven't really been keeping up.

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    Both are problems, to varying degrees, and they're going to have (or are having) the expected effects. Costs are being felt by buyers, and the more that becomes a factor the more of a chilling effect that'll have. But the bigger issue at the moment is logistics. Even if people could afford to...

    Should probably get while the getting's good. They may go down a bit once the current generation becomes more available and more people start offloading their CWs. (Although the Legacy Stunticons have gotten similarly hard to complete, I think.)

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Well, blurple. And it was offset by different enough colors in different enough proportions that it didn't really look like G1 Soundwave, whereas the current effort is to map the colors more closely. It did look quite nice though, I'm with you there. (I don't recall if I ever got that Space...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    It comes down to what you're looking for from "dynamic", but it happens. Basara Prime wasn't in too static a pose (wearing guitar, arm raised to strum), and ML Sunstreaker was just standing, but in an A stance with arms up a bit, both in ways the G1 toy couldn't manage. Neither were exactly...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    Yeah, this is the perfect line to do that with. Especially since "can also basically double as the bricky original" is part of the way to illustrate the cleverness of the reengineering.

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

    Despite myself, I'm starting to talk myself into at least one framebiner torso. The thought of buying one thing and having a passable approximation of the combiner (a somewhat... Bare one) is not unappealing.

    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    If I had a nickel for every lazy-ass "MEN/WOMEN/TRANSFORMERS" restroom meme I run into, I could retire tomorrow. Alas, I just have eye strain from rolling them so often.
