    HasLab Victory Saber

    As have I, but I looked at their Victory Saber kit multiple times and each time I was like "I don't like/want any of this". The sword blade looks too big, the cannons are too long, the wing extensions make the wings stick out too far and throw off the proportions of their shape... and the new...

    That would explain why your post reads like a machine translation. You feelin' okay? :p

    Speaking of that "Tread Unit" (as Mark called it in the stream video), turns out we have ourselves another case of the early 90s online fandom passing around a mistranslation until it became widespread enough to be believed by everyone. The name "Tread Unit" seems to have been born out of...

    Short of actually featuring, well, Lori. (Yes, I specifically picked a pic of "Lori with lore") :p

    To be a little fair... "Megatron must be stopped! No matter the cost!" "One shall stand, one shall fall!" "Why throw away your life so recklessly?" "That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron!" "You, who are without mercy, now plead for it?! I thought you were made of sterner...

    Ha! Even Marvel knew that when they made their adaptation of TFTM: Look! No Hot Rod interference, and Megatron still guns him down! He first came on to the Transformers brand during the Transmetal 2 portion of Beast Wars, working on such toys as the gimmick-heavy TM2 Megatron. Before that...

    I bought four upgrade kits for mine, and none of them were the one from DNA Design.

    How many of those deep cuts in early Aligned were to things from Japanese-original fiction never officially released in English markets? The deep cuts made by the current Hasbro team are because the current team are deep in the sauce like we are. They weren't in charge of the brand back when...

    Alignment at least got a big ol' two-page spread of acknowledgement in The Ultimate Guide book that a lot of people did read including several writers who would go on to work on the brand in an official capacity. Named "Soundblaster". The BWR story that introduced him was released after that...

    It's because Beast Wars Reborn is an uber-obscure prose story that has only ever really been heard of by us diehards who are deep in the sauce and/or have kept up with Andrew Hall's translation work. And at the time of 2010, only two of its four chapters had been fan-translated into English...

    In JG1, it's the power that created the universe dating back to the Big Bang. The particular piece that featured in both Zone and The Battlestars was the piece that belonged to (and likely created) the Earth itself, with Dai Atlas calling it "the Soul of the Earth".

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

    Starscream was not a ghost in Cheetor's dream sequence in "The Web". (He looks a little fuzzy because everything in that dream sequence was fuzzy, to make it look more dreamlike and less like a flashback) The first script for "Possession" (September 4, 1996) was actually first drafted only 14...
