I can picture this happening, but I think it's far more likely that they had Optimus in mind from the get-go. Especially since he was going to be front and center for Aligned and particularly Prime, the show that would supposedly explore "what it means to be a Prime".

I think the slow burn might have worked if there was at least some clear progression. (Also what I'd envisioned isn't THAT slow a burn, just not wrapping everything up neatly by the end of FFOD.) As opposed to the Aesop Amnesia that seemed to plague S3 as written. But then again, this was on...

I've tended to use "scramble-type", myself (and I'm sure I just picked that up from others hereabouts). When first encountering it I just assumed it referred to "the type of combiner featured in 'Scramble City' ". The funny thing is there seems to be much less moping in FFOD than later in the...

Takara Tomy's official Transformers Twitter/X page has announced a silver, white, and black redeco of the upcoming T-Spark/Synergenex Monster Hunter x Transformers "Rathalos Prime". Preorders for Silver Rathalos Prime are set to go live on February 13, 2025. Where does the Rathalos Prime...

I'm sure that would HELP, but nothing's going to un-trauma that trauma. Audiences might have warmed to him more, or more quickly, but the damage is done. It's early days for the brand, so you don't quite have the comparative older worldview or detachment of a BW viewer meeting Primal. Older...

Game of the Year Edition

Optimus Prime was still alive at that point. Checks out.

See? Just relatable af. It could be worse, I guess. He could be Scourge. "Dweller" came on the other day and I burst out laughing at the camera *following Galvatron's fist* as he punched Scourge in the face. (Pretty neat episode in general, some of the nicer/more detailed animation of the...

I maintain that one of my favorite parts of The Rebirth is Optimus Prime hearing out Alpha Trion's vague technobabbly predictions about the Plasma Energy Chamber and responding, in a tone that feels sharp for Peter Cullen, "Alpha Trion... THAT MAKES NO SENSE!". So for that, I'm glad Optimus was...

This mold continues to be ridiculous. Dating aaaaalll the way back to its first leaks (pleasant Stockholm syndrome 2021 nostalgia) it's always had this weird occasional anti-photogenicness and refusal to look "right" in flattened 2d, with torso proportions and head size/height being all wrong in...

I rather liked TR Galvatron myself but it was unfeasible to get all the 3d printed upgrades I wanted at the time (full helmet, ungimmicked replacement for the spring loaded neck mechanism). And now I think those are gone.

It was heartwarming reading these (snazzy custom btw), and being reminded of something I'd done a while back... I might be able to help with the Shattered Glass Rodimus decal situation. To make the above, I scanned the Toyhax POTP Rodimus sheet I bought to get the sizes and shapes of what to...

The legs seem to transform entirely differently too.

The clear barrel does look much better on him. I'll use Galvatron II's.

Retailer In Demand Toys has new stock images up for upcoming EarthSpark figures, featuring Deluxe class incarnations of Soundwave and Terran Hashtag. Unlike the Takara "DX" release, this iteration of Hashtag appears to be its own mold rather than a slight retool of the Warrior class release...

...perhaps.

Has that been a staircase in the back this whole time, and these toys have been posing perilously perched precariously in a pictorial predicament to please posters in a picture posting thread who have been pleasantly passing the time peacefully unaware of this potential pitfall?

I... Am aware of all that? I wasn't listing all the reuses of the mold in existence. Neither Gizmoboy nor I were talking about that.

The three iterations of Galvatron I have (sold the Kingdom/Legacy one before caving and getting SS86) are pretty visually different. Movie violet, toy light gray (with the Dark-ism head), and Selects Reformatting. I think the Siege Megs retools I've got similarly distinct, albeit a bit less so...

Oh, I think that hasn't been true of Transformers for some time now. The live-action movies at least have fostered a whole community of buyers and complainers of their own. I think to a lesser extent the UT stuff as well. But for Power Rangers, maybe so. But even then Lightning Collection was...
