    When is the last time we got an original character redeco from a G1 character?

    The ehobby reissues were the first thing that came to mind (that and maybe the Kiss Players cassettes?) but I figured there had to be more recent ones than that.

    Studio Series discussion

    Which also means an opaque Eject, which is frankly what I'd be buying this for if I were buying it. Right now I just don't know, man.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Yeah, specialty stores on this side of the world may bring it in, and there's a slim chance that mainstream retail might gamble on striking a deal for these exclusives again (they did get some Target exclusives during WFC, and the Walmart beasts from Legacy as well as Velocitron wave 1). None of...

    One favorite thing from each era (or line, or year) of Transformers

    Revisiting this with some time to think, but I'll try and go slow. GENERATION 1 (1980s/original run) This is cheating a bit as it covers so much ground, but I'd be mad to say anything other than the 1986 Movie was the most formative part of original G1 for me. Never got the comic, the cartoon...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Maybe they straight up retooled the wings; the wing edges have serrations rather than the ribbed panels from Cyclonus. The head seems new too (i wish one of the Cyclonus releases had had a new head tooling; not this necessarily but something better than the original).

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Okay, I'm all over that batch of Deluxes and Ferak. Except maybe Lockdown. I wonder if you can store cannonball's accessories in those giant leg gaps, haha. I hope they take another stab at SG Starscream with this mold, hopefully with a better batch of plastic.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I kept getting confused by how Windsweeper (and friends)/Breakdown is referred to as a 2-pack while the Insecticons and Malleus whatever are a 3-pack. You'd think they'd hype up that there are four TFs in that first set. But then I remembered that Needlenose and partners was one Deluxe class...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'm realizing now that the most Bulkhead part of that mold is really the truck cab, which is more or less Bulkhead's face (with much bigger eyes). This paint job highlights it by picking out that bumper as Bulkhead's jaw. That, or I need to stop just taking breaks from studying and actually go...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    TBH, Trashmaster was my first thought. Has that stocky, squared-off robot mode, a broad chest that doesn't have to look like window panels, Maybe give him some different accessories (change the claw thing to something else), plus the hammer accessory from Wreckers Bulkhead. Maybe the mold wasn't...

    The 3rd Party Toy Picture thread

    If and when, I might not ever bother with the lights. Maybe once, but if they're a lot of trouble either way, maybe never. This is not a good thing to be contemplating ALONGSIDE being tempted by the tiny Dr. Wu stuff.

    If Hasbro were to reissue the G1 Citybots as Titan Class figures, would you get one?

    May have meant a reengineered version of the partner for the 1987 toy?

    The 3rd Party Toy Picture thread

    I think I'd be fine with this actually. Have no need for the lights and such, but it looks great overall (even before unluckiness' great paint work). Seems hefty, and will be big enough vs the mainline to "feel" like a citybot. Nothing's going to really be in scale anyway, short of something...

    Favorite scenes in TF media (tv, movies, comics, games) (40th)

    Arrival to Earth will always define the live-action movies for me. Also, this: I'd grown a bit cynical and disconnected from the still-enjoyable MTMTE stories at the time, but this had me all misty. It's always striking when a too-cool-for-school characters (cast) who are sassing and quipping...

    Robots in Disguise (2001) Appreciation Thread

    I mean, the drop test failure simply happening at all already makes it "at least one contributor" to the release being scuttled. I am fascinated by how drop tests also test the packaged toy. Always thought it was just the toy itself. But this makes sense. Still baffled by the choice to go...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I do remember seeing a Dinoking box set in one of those listings leaks. I've held out for that, only getting Snarl and Slag (favorites and the better looking ones) and Skarr to hang out with POTP Slash. Wouldn't be surprised if third-party shells of varying quality popped up afterward.
