(shrug) I'd be fine with that. People are going to say and do what they want regardless. Not going to trade in five closer likenesses/homages to avoid something that'll happen anyway. Besides, it IS the modern combiner frame situation. Let DNA or whoever has time and a 3D printer whip up...

That's a big part of what draws me to it. It's a big weird reboot before those were really that much of a thing in Transformers (specifically "weird", in that BW cut away as cleanly as it could at first, but this has it both ways in the strangest manner). It's got some of the same divergent...

I'll always wish for another cassette box set until it happens somehow. This is probably quite unlikely at this point, lol. Or hey, maybe have them pull a Legacy United Soundwave and release a Twincast with Rosanna, Rewind, and Nightstalker. I already have Twincast/Rewind, but I may talk myself...

The box art for this line was all tweaked versions of earlier box art anwyay, but I'd rather the toys match the toys. Even going with Mirage/Hoist or Scraphook for the other Autobots doesn't preclude using a Motormaster for Prime in this scenario. Of course the next question is the feasibility...

Yeah, I can see Shadewing's objection to this. The Autobots in particular sacrifice better likenesses for the inexplicable benefit of being a combiner, and I for one would much rather have the former. Combiner Wars and POTP tired me out on the "so you look very little like you're supposed to...

Wasn't the first use of that Legacy mold AS Skyquake? Albeit with a lackluster headsculpt.

And I am eternally grateful that they did. Of ideas that have been on the table but not seen fruition, I guess. There's still a bunch of stuff out there. And this is the team that dipped into Halloween Horrorcons (to make, well, one of them) for a Cheetor redeco. (I do appreciate that batch...

Well, that's a shame. But then, maybe it's a matter of being outvoted for what seemed like better capsules. There have been a few less-than-stellar items but generally the capsules have been pretty good. Maybe someday after they make a Thunderclash!

Ah, so my Skyquake in storage gets to be yet another Schrodinger's pile of bits. Hoo-freakin-ray.

That's interesting background, but not really the point I was making. I think what hurt them more was the availability of molds they could use as marketable characters/designs, and the ease or lack thereof of working with the factories to get colors and sculpt ideas across and executed as...

That was one of the rougher Botcons. Some of the souvenirs were better than the stuff from the box set, which was half not Machine Wars (but which was two very good figures nonetheless) anyway. Just a tough time between available molds and markerable concepts, especially for the numbers Botcon...

Iirc people also wanted more blast effects (although I myself am not super into having them in only those two colors). And Tricranius himself was pretty neat! I do wish we'd gotten more in the style of the Centurion Drone. That one quickly climbed out of my price range on the secondary market...

Autobase Aichi brings our attention to an eBay auction that seems to showcase the upcoming G2-themed redeco of Studio Series 86 Grimlock and Wheelie. The big bozo King of the Dinobots is in his blue G2 variant colors (with the G2 faction sigil/name label), while Wheelie is in his two-tone...

Likewise no real order, just notable from the year: Legacy United Silverbolt Legacy United G1 Optimus Prime Legacy United Magmatron SS86 Optimus Prime Star Raider Filch Star Raider Ferak Gobots 3-pack Studio Series Mohawk Earthspark DX Terran Hashtag Notable but don't have them yet: Fractured...

I think that's what they went for. I had the original toy briefly (gave it up in a batch of stuff because of financial reasons) and am very fond of its colors, so I was hoping to see it again. But the focus is different here, alas.

I so wish this had more of the original toy's pink rather than lavender. Maybe it'll get the same 14 redecos its G1 namesake did.

This does say "multipack", distinct from "two pack" as previously specified for the G2 dinos. And "presumably for Target" suggests it might be in line with what recent Target exclusive multipacks have tended to be (outside, sure, the early-Buzzworthy 2-packs and the We Dead SS86 2-packs that...

I thought it was another 4-pack, like the former Buzzworthy ones. If it is, these 2 out of 4 are already selling me on it. And there's no shortage of fun Deluxes they could do to round it out. Like maybe Riggorus, Roulette, Nightra, Double Punch, another of the Corvicons... And if it is just a...

...yes, that's what I was saying. Some people didn't care enough about it. Or some people didn't care enough about that specific flaw. Or some people cared about that flaw, but weren't bothered enough by it to discuss it. Or some people cared about that flaw, but didn't see the point of...
