    Transformers: Cyberworld, WTF (Why The Faces)

    I think 3 makes the most sense from a parent POV, although depending on the nature of the toy (and prior experience) 1 is also likely. But I've definitely heard a sibling be told "you'll be bored of it before we even get home" before, haha. (And in my case it was definitely books, which I'd try...

    Transformers Collaborative | Hot Wheels x Transformers

    Sports Label returns! This is also what I recall from the leak (although it's been so long idk if it's part of the leak or just an idea someone mentioned after hearing "Transformers x NFL"). These being easily-repurposable helmets also lends itself well for that. And honestly it's a great idea...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    Being able to strike more dynamic poses and effect a different silhouette helps distract from Earthrise OP's arms/legs/waist situation a fair bit. Of course the G1 Rodimus toy has more strikingly off proportions there, but anything to change up short sticks vs long sticks would be pleasant...

    I agree, but I also can't really consider it that fair a comparison for the reason I've stated.

    I keep thinking Vortex looks amazing. But then I remember it's fairly easy to look amazing when you don't actually combine so much as get stapled to a combiner. Still, the Combaticons stand the best chance conceptually of getting me to commit to a set. (To be fair, I am still waffling on the...

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

    I'm good with it, although I'd like the facets/cheek shapes to protrude more like the show model. And for the blue/s to be grayer.

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    I think there are a number of loopholes that are part of the process -- "made in __" doesn't necessarily (legally) ONLY mean "start-to-finish manufactured in __". There are many cases where just the finishing touches (including sewing on the actual "made in __" tag) are done in that country...

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    And ugh, that's only of my least favorite things to come from the Almanac/AVP. But I've gone into a whole thing about that elsewhere already so no need to clutter the thread with it again. Prime Nova to Nova Prime is indeed one of those elegantly simple things, but I always liked the original...

    Ah yes, the brief time when it was The Matrix of Readership.

    I'm struggling to remember where mine is stored (from that move a decade or so ago) and whether the crystal bits were with the main robot (in which case they're in a separate accessory box) or in the same baggie as the micron (in which case they're still there wherever the micron is stored).

    He's my boy forever, and that's always come with a few hurdles to deal with. But I will always wish they'd taken a few more passes for Hot Rod's new name for his promotion to Prime.

    Also man, early CHUG had such charm to it. I'm oddly more flexible in paring down G1 Remakes Batch 1 from CHUG and replacing it with the 2010s-2020s trilogies stuff than I am with letting go of early CHUG, especially Unicron Trilogy redecos and repurposings. Of course, I'm not longing for a...

    And they'll have to ramp that up more and likely charge more to offset the losses elsewhere. But it's so hard to gauge anything at this point because the people making the situation volatile are so volatile.
