Been thinking about building a shelf for the '86 movie, so I'm probably getting Galvatron. Hatchet is just such a weird figure that I have to get him. (How many times have we gotten "vehicle that turns into animal" in this franchise? Alternators Ravage?)

I could see lightening the purple a touch, but why is this Galvatron blue?

Also this thing is nearly two feet long. I can't imagine how heavy (and expensive) die-cast would make it.

One thing to note about IDW is that when it started, there WAS no toyline. In 2005 we were still in the middle of Cybertron and Classics wouldn't be out for another year. When they had Simon Furman sit down and concept out a new take on G1, it was with the implicit idea that there was no...

The TFwiki has a page for them that assembled some summaries of the marketing material. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Titan_Master

Speak of the devil, apparently they're reissuing Scorponok. https://www.hasbropulse.com/product/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-earthrise-titan-wfce25-scorponok/E76725L00

Scorponok might have been an Earthrise release, but he's compatible with the Titan Master system, still, right?

Mirage was hunting turbofoxes in his character bio back in 1984.

Yeah, you're always supposed to make the tease for the next thing the mid-credits stinger and then have the funny one be at the end.

Yeah, if I needed a Bee, I'd grab that and paint the eyes. I don't even paint, and I would still paint those eyes.

I wouldn't have expected a lot of crossover between American Football fans and Taylor Swift, but here we are. Is there a vehicle associated with Football? At this point they could do the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile and say it was NFL related and I'd just shrug and say "If you say so." And then...

That's a mental difference, not a physical one.

Technically, the smaller "IDW" Prime is kind of a made up figure. He was never a data archivist in IDW, and he was forged as a beefy dude, rather than getting upgraded by the Matrix. So basically there's no physical difference between Pax and Prime in IDW, IIRC.

Well, Starscream got captured before he could have gotten his throat repaired (rememebr, this is a franchise where throat damage can leave you permanently mute) so, narratively, threre's your answer. The real reason is it's a reference to the original Starscream's voice.

The violence in the movie is kind of weird. Like, they'll cut away from some of the more violent kills But also show Pax shredding a Death Tracker, and It just seems incongruit with each other that. Almost like they had a limited amount of robot carnage they could show and had to pick...

Your mistaking my desire for a different flowstate for the plot with saying the plot didn't make sense, which I not something I'm doing. I never at any point insinuated the High Guard getting discovered to be a "random plot coincidence" and in fact it's literally spelled out later in the movie...

Look up the assassination of Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand if you want a crash course of how must history driven by seemingly inconsequential people who just happen to be in the right (or wrong) place the right time.

You wouldn't need to do anything that drastic. Remember, the film doesn't need to be in "real time." You could leave the movie mostly the same until they get captured by the High Guard. Instead of instantly getting captured by Sentinel, Pax and Megatron convince the high guard to go on the...

To be fair, those were some big rodents. (Not much bigger than two meters)

Luke Skywalker joined up with an existing, fully formed rebellion, and even that was single pronged. Or to put it another way, the Rebellion wasn't sitting around, doing hit and run attacks and then Luke went "Hey, let's take the fight to the Empire!" and suddenly everyone found their spine...
