Retailers were demanding more movie product thanks to the success of the movie increasing the demand that much more. That's also why those Walmart-exclusive Cybertron and Classics Deluxe redecos were sold as Movie toys instead of as part of the Universe 2008 line. Walmart wanted more movie toys.

The thing about Alpha Trion still being alive and around is the main reason why The Ultimate Guide didn't include him among the then-known members of the Thirteen Original Transformers when it first established the concept. The book introduced the group as being so ancient that they all (minus...

Yeah, Premium Series was meant to be the last hurrah for the 2007 movie line, going out with the most screen-accurate versions that the line was willing to redeco and/or retool. But it was also thanks to Premium Series clogging the shelves so late in the game that the first waves of Animated...

AllSpark Power preceded Premium Series, and Screen Battles preceded both.

The funny thing about the Primus invocations in Beast Wars is that the writers didn't actually know what "Primus" was or meant. They simply saw fans using it in swears on ATT and just threw it in the show for funsies.

Maybe Boston is where they will finally have the indefinitely-postponed-but-never-formally-canceled HasCon 2019 take place. :p

All kidding aside, they are: Convoy (Tokubetsu Shiyō) -- Deep red, blue windows, Matrix inside, tall smokestacks, hand holes, newish condition Missing Link C-01 Convoy -- Deep red, clear windows, Matrix inside, tall smokestacks, actual headlights instead of hand holes, newish condition...

What does that matter? People still hated that Beast Machines ignored Primus and changed Vector Sigma into something new and different from what it had been like before.

It's so funny to me how we're all now like "There can be multiple different origin myths, not everything must be beholden to one true mythology" when a mass refusal to even entertain that idea was a big reason behind the early fandom's hatred of the Oracle and Cybertron's organic core in Beast...

Convoy, Convoy, Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus

It's Pikachu!

Oh yeah, I know those guys! They're the... ... Uh... ... Umm... ... Hrmm... ... ...The Buildrons! Yeah, that's it!

"It is Wheelie."

The word y'all are searching for is "pink". ;)

Why did you partially paint the forehead crest red? 😜

Just imagine them making a redeco of the Titan. That would be amazing.

Checking the designers... hmm, yeah, I could see Eric Siebenaler or Joe Kyde having Magnus on the brain when designing it. Had it been Aaron "I'm not a fan of G1" Archer himself, however, then yeah, coincidences all around. But then again, Siebenaler also designed Armada Wheeljack and somehow...

I vaguely feel like I might have seen it in stores once or twice, but never knew of its rarity and didn't have much spending money back then since I was still going off of allowance cash at that point, being still too young to have a job. So despite having seen it, I never bought it. I did have...

When I was at BotCon earlier this year, Flint Dille said at one of his panels said that he likened Hot Rod being chosen by the Matrix to King Arthur being chosen by Excalibur (that is, if you watered down the story of Arthur pulling the sword from the stone to its most basic elements).

*edits post* That better? 😅
