    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    I'm probably going to save up and get the OP at some point. Maaaybe splurge on the one with the trailer since it's spendy anyway. A one-off landmark purchase, and it's a hell of a concept I'd Iike a piece of. I'm still floored by the sheer incongruity of the old design and the modern...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I think I may have enjoyed the rock aesthetic if applied to beasts rather than vehicles. The Fossilizers are named as such, but the molds are more bone than stone in appearance.

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I'm just so disappointed about that big chunk of burgundy in the middle of Vector Prime's altmode. The original had a huge block of it on the surface, but it was clearly overlaid on top of the ship's main color. Here it's like that chunk got broken and someone replaced it with the same part from...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Yeah, it's wild how they kept doing stuff but kept ending up at least one Seeker short for each trio. Voyager had Dirge and "Thrust", no Ramjet. Legends had Starscream and Skywarp, no Thundercracker. Ramjet and Thrust, no Dirge.

    The first sentence tells you everything you need to know. It's not about quality, it's about the old-timers wanting the warm blanket of nostalgia and being the audience, not those silly kids.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I... didn't decide it would be Skywarp, so I'm not sure why you're telling me. I never even said anything about preferring Skywarp as a deco for this mold, just that the Cybertron-based mold hadn't gotten a redeco yet, so this being Skywarp was more likely than a complex retool of the Earthrise...

    This, and a Voyager mold just waiting for a redeco (as opposed to the suggested more extensive retool).

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    These look nice but idk if I'll track these down. They ARE nice new looks and ripe for repurposing (that Bluestreaky Seeker is neat and the shade of color on Runablue gives Boss vibes), so it'll be tempting. But agreed on those coneheads. I do wish they'd at least crank out the canceled G2...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    For this I can comfortably hold on to the original. It's a respectable effort but it was always going to be hard to take such a distinctive design and steer it toward another distinctive design; at that point just use a new-tooling slot. This would be one to keep in robot mode if ever.

    FFS. It can also stop happening. This is exactly why they need to pull the thumb out and just start the hell over already. Commit to SOMETHING rather than keeping wtihin the gray area of reboot-or-not, to no one's real benefit. Tell the new story and let it be its own story. The second best...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    The Cybertron toyline is a near perfect distillation of Transformers, to me. A little of everything, beasts, vehicles, good range of aesthetics, Mini-Cons, huge Transformers, Earth and Cybertronian altmodes, gimmickry both intrusive and otherwise, a splash of homaging and a lot of new twists...

    Time to redo SG Starscream AND Goldbug. And hell, might as well make a new Galaxy Upgrade OP. But omg, give me a new Excellion NOW.

    I've definitely noticed the Movie Ironhide vibe at least. Not very well versed in the latter.

    Googling suggests it's a third party Overdrive by X-Transbots, limited yellow colorway.

    It works until you have to say it out loud, like they would in one of these shows. Unless it follows the same syllabic stress as Elita, as in E-REE-al. Ultimately I don't think it's really worth the effort at this point, since they've gone multiple series with her just being Elita so that...

    Yeah, like it illustrates Bee's silly but shallow humor, and that IS the joke... But it's also a joke you put in a trailer that's the first indication of what your movie's humor (among other things) will be like. The follow-up deep voice bit is the same joke again, in multiple ways (it's saying...

    Took a break from drowning in work and other work, and saw this was live, so checked it out. I'm glad everyone is high on this, because at least my lone flat opinion won't skew the overall vibe as much. I'm... Mostly shrugging at it. As a trailer it's fairly standard, having the usual...
