    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    I'm in a lot of the modern game for the redecos. Sadly after the apparent heyday of Selects we're down to a bit less than before (and most of it in an exclusive capsule or another), but sometimes we still get the occasional Razorclaw (yay). It's just enough drip-fed hope to get me to still...

    No dispute here regarding "there are better mentor figures to match with Man-At-Arms". There are many better. But at the same time I've gotten used to the fact that this isn't how these lines are designed. (I was begrudgingly fine with Bee getting crammed into the GI Joe collab, but not as the...

    Ironhide as Man-at-Arms armor is preferable to Brawn. For this sort of thing, both role and visual interest are important -- it has to "make sense" characterwise (and this is where I feel Bee falls short) but should also have a distinct enough look and feel from the norm. It's one reason...

    Studio Series discussion

    If it doesn't have the cockpit hanging off the back of the robot mode, I might consider starting all over again. The rest is a mostly lateral, slightly upward move, but I like that it's markedly less greebly, and that integration would be a significant improvement. I would like the first one I...

    While I'm priced right out of this genre (i just want the Ravage, but fat chance of that) I'm appreciative of the improving designs. They've come a pretty long way from HISS Tank cosplay Megs. If they make a transforming Serpentor chariot, though...

    Toys SDCC 2025: Hasbro makes us ask, "Can it be 2026 yet?" with a slew of Transformers official product images and info

    SDCC 2025 is in full swing, and Hasbro has absolutely come out swinging with strong product presentations for their various iconic brands. Transformers is definitely no exception, as so many corners of the brand are getting a lot of love in the next few months and the next year. Studio Series...

    This would be the most interesting thing. Kingdom Tigatron as Battle Cat is probably an easy heavy partial, but they have great vehicles they can do too. My gut reaction was "why not Brawn as Man-At-Arms armor?" but then I realized... That's just Man-At-Arms again.

    I'm all in on Razorclaw. Maybe Big Convoy. I never really had much skin in the game because I'm holding off on the Primes, but I wish Quintus turned into one of the weird spiral ships.

    All I know about those is having heard that some (?) have GPS in some form, so be careful. Especially around the hinges. (Although I think that was an earlier set than this one -- apparently these are annual? -- so maybe they've sorted it out. Here's hoping, not least because this has...

    At first glance the Tidal Wave wings look like Megatron's got his arms out, going "Really, lifting a guy into the air? Really?"

    I genuinely want that as well. But this time with the trailer. I'm craving a ton of early 2000s stuff really. Sam's Club Prowl (Red Alert) and Starscream. Costco Optimus Prime. Universe 1.0 Primal and Silverbolt. Cryotek. We're getting Razorclaw. Battle in a Box Magnus, Smokescreen (Hot Shot)...

    At that price, these are even more tempting. I haven't had a chance to get a good look-- who has the clear plastic ball joints and where?

    A swappable head would up the value of this for sure. Even if they used the dumb "swappable front half of head" thing from the Buzzworthy army builders. I also wish it came with a Run-Over. Although yeah, not in the show.

    Oh, I can confide it survives. In fact it's SO alive we're getting a Thor Five. It remains to be seen if now it'll thrive, because the quality of 4 was that big of a dive.

    Is it the lighting or is the teal on Perceptor darker? Aside: that hunt sounds insane. Glad you finally got what you were after. (Snip old man grumbling about the hunt) I've definitely found a comfort zone away from the old style of hunting in the last few years. Same dopamine, more convenient...

    I like that it has the mangled face. Definitely sets it apart. Although there'll be times I crave something less distinct (or something with a silver faceplate to break up the sea of dark navy), so I may get one of those Achai heads for the Armada mold.

    I certainly am. And I'm glad not to need to find storage for another trailer, although I skipped the original Commander so it would've been nice to experience the combination.

    Just going to drop this in here as it fits in more with the main line than elsewhere, and seemed better than giving it a new thread. Gamespot has revealed a $75 pack of Armada Nemesis Prime with the Air Defense Team Mini-Cons! I can't believe I actually miss the tan, and that blue could be a...

    I have no real attachment to the Devastation decos, but I love that splash of yellow-orange against the charcoal and black. Just purely in terms of color schemes (i.e. not a Devastation one in particular) I might prefer blue legs or tan rather than red though. From Devastation, I'd like to see...
