    The Repaint Concept Thread

    It may be a phonics across language thing, as they're made by a company called Buluke. If it's a take on their name, the hard /k/ sound is already represented.

    Transformers Retro series (Walmart TFTM Reissues)

    I actually kind of like the gray and yellow. But rather than interesting me in this, it's making me want to replace my CW Bombshell with the Takara one, which is in show colors closer to this. (Actually I then started to think of selling off the Legacy Insecticons in favor of the Legends ones...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I remain eternally grateful that Marvel and Budiansky were involved right at the beginning. Granted, IP and C-suite culture wasn't yet what it would become, but it would've been very easy to just have someone go "they have names in Japan, right? Oh, just the car names? Take those and mix in...

    The Loyal Subjects to relaunch MASK, and other Legacy Hasbro Brands

    "M.A.S.K. has all the crazy features, vehicles, small figures with removable helmets, closed-box packaging with that killer logo splash, artwork, and product shots — all coming back. They’re in the same scale, and we’re serving it hot and fresh like ‘85 never left.” definitely has me listening.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I might be intrigued by "Transformers: The Covenant", or the Covenant of Primus Trilogy (Thirteen, Omega Point, Primus Unleashed). Or, to continue the intergenerational vibe from Legacy and set up the Cybertron-based capsule, "Transformers: OUR WORLDS ARE IN DANGER."

    Transformers Retro series (Walmart TFTM Reissues)

    Oh don't get me wrong, I really like them. While I wouldn't really put them alongside the best of the franchise, they're very pretty and look great together as a subseries almost. I kind of even want to see a sleeve for the Optimus with trailer they're doing, just on the strength of how bright...

    Transformers Retro series (Walmart TFTM Reissues)

    I wish we'd get that magenta Hot Rod in G1 style window packaging, but i suppose that's not likely given Hot Rod in G1 packaging's already been done. ...I guess I could just swap the ones I already have...

    Get him a couple of Skullcrunchers for alligator shoes. For his suddenly Cotton Hill legs.

    It should be easy enough to get a consensus from the 30 people worldwide that got one.

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see firetrucks fighting with sharks!

    I like the earlier attempts at accessory packs as well (well, Tricranius was more of a blast effect pack). It's just a shame Centurion Drone was so goddamn difficult to get (and so many of the accessories were tiny things). More cool generics and accessories are welcome. Hell, bring back the...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see firetrucks fighting with sharks!

    There's a great neck adaptor with a free STL up on Cults3D, iirc with versions for the Datsun and Earth mode van. It's a bit of an extra step, but it'd be cheaper and simpler than obtaining a second Autotrooper for the custom I had in mind. Then again, the second Autotrooper would at least be a...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see firetrucks fighting with sharks!

    It's definitely one of those things that appear different on a screen/via a camera and in person. (It even varies depending on the lighting; doesn't look the same between Coffee's and LGI's pics.) It's distinct from Thundercracker's slightly greener blue, which, in both Earthrise and Siege...

    G1 Marvel Comic Collections

    I was so glad to get Classics volume 8. I'd always wanted the Universe profiles all in one collection, and in better quality than the somewhat meh condition floppies I'd bought in the interim. Plus those would be lacking the follow-up profiles published in the comics later on.

    Saw a 3d print model for a toy based head (complete with the backplate) and arms (all black with sculpted wheels) for that Bee. If a proper injection molded upgrade kit shows up with those I might consider it. Wish the stock head had been at least as friendly and upbeat as the Origin Bee one...

    That might be the version I hold on to (or if they make the Legends Leo Prime; just great colors). I don't know why I can't seem to get into Thundertron as a toy. The character concept is cool enough, and this new mold seems to be an improvement in key ways from the original. I think there's...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I do hope that one of the things that gets put in a 3P upgrade kit is a cover for those. Could just be smooth/featureless and just match the overall look of the surrounding area, even; could be cog-based, but I might prefer the former. Given the lack of a role in transformation for the shins...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Frankly this would get me to buy this after having skipped Vector Prime. Sure, he now turns into this rather than the weird Cybertronic Ghost Hawk, but it's close enough. Funny enough, there IS a comic-based subline this would be perfect for...

    Transformers Hall of Fame 2024 voting now open - until Sept 9

    I'm as big a Rodimus booster as you'll ever see, and sure I'd love to see him get his due. But I don't think i want him to be the Arisen because i don't want an Arisen character. Some vague prophecy about an Autobot who will light the darkest hour sure, because that can be repurposed to be a...
