    Outside? Inside? No, thinking ABOUT the box: your thoughts on Transformers packaging

    Some SORT of Bucket, ah. Thanks! I ran out of time looking for that. I love all of it. BIG OL' TOWER.

    Yeah, "he's similar to Combat Hero OP" is just all the more reason to make a new mold (the Volvo OP comes close) now that can be pretooled as one or the other, as is the current practice with molds anyway. Sacrifice the powerlinking, make it pre-Spark of Combination Rodimus, whatever. Tooling...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Hmmm. There's been rumors here and there of a Thunder Clash retool, but... how about a heavy retool of Legacy Motormaster as Hyperdrive?

    Outside? Inside? No, thinking ABOUT the box: your thoughts on Transformers packaging

    The 1990s, 1 As one decade shifted into another, the need to keep the packaging fresh for what must have been a surprisingly long runner (these were unprecedented times, as hard as that might be to imagine now) was becoming clear. The logo got stylized further and italicized (this was an era of...

    Outside? Inside? No, thinking ABOUT the box: your thoughts on Transformers packaging

    This brand is more than forty years old, and that history has come with an undeniable amount of refreshing, reinventing, and rebooting. That also means it's been in stores, both physical and virtual, for all that time, and many of us (certainly the older element) have indelible memories of the...

    Absolutely. I do allude to the Titanium's leg transformation in my idea above. And for all its flaws this was at the time a very welcome design experiment, in my mind. Let's keep doing this (Rodimus having his own non-Hot Rod Plus transformation) again so that we can eventually reach something...

    But what happens if you add Kurt Angle to the mix shut up, self, no wonder math gives you trouble Thanks for that. I think it's making sense now, as it's dawning on me that of course the specials don't replace anyone ELSE in the lineup other than their regular versions. Right? You'll always get...

    On the one hand, I want an urban camo ruination. On the other hand, I wonder how a Wreckers Ruination from a straight G1 Bruticus would look.

    Just realizing after the excitement fades: The problem with being interested in the rares is, well, they're rares. Burning justice Rodimus is 1/144. Matrix Rodimus is 5/144, as is Waiter Grimlock. They do tout "Secret Hidden in every case", but that requires getting, well, a box... And I don't...

    This is an interesting package. I remember the box feeling pleasantly heavy in hand; not exactly "I feel great about the price now" heavy but very distinct from, say, Commander fare. It definitely gives the impression that this cost something above normal to make. I appreciate that Hot Rod is...

    Combiners: Unified colors or Rainbow Warriors? Lets discuss!

    I've thought about this a bit, and I still don't really have a preference. Sometimes I like things like RID Landfill (a walking bag of Skittles), and sometimes I like things like, uh... RID Landfill (yellow/black). In fact, what I REALLY like is having options. I guess overall I gravitate...

    I am a little miffed that it seems to echo one of the worst aspects of the POTP version's vehicle mode: the angled, cut-off pipes. A huge part of the original's appeal are those crazy curved pipes that extend the Hot Rod exhausts into this absurd curving shape that turns giant box into giant hot...

    Toys Blokees Galaxy Defender Version series 4 pics: Rodimus Prime, Grimlock, Scourge, Rumble (blue), SG Megatron, Blitzwing, Starscream, Brawl!

    I hadn't heard about cancellations. I think they pulled a US release (iirc Hasbro's call) but they're still available in... China? Asia? through some convoluted process.

    Yeah, the Voyager price point is a big factor here. That's what drew me to the Combiner Force comparison.

    From the front page: the Blokees socials have revealed pics of the full fourth wave of Defender Version figures. Next combiner seems to be Bruticus, as this leads with vehicle-mode Brawl (with a conspicuous peghole toward the front of the tank).
