Hmm. Still need to track down and rebuy that Transmetal.

..."apologist views". For a toyline. And I'M the one with "clouded judgment" who's unwilling to accept a point of view "contrary to my own." I'm not the one who renamed a toyline to invalidate its entire design sensibility (aside from certain designs I so magnanimously decide would fit my...

Hasbro's really making use of their lightsaber toy expertise to keep making light-up versions of these roleplay blades. I'm glad that options like these are available without the pretentious Super Grown-up Collectible with Real Metal Parts Because Metal, at least.

I'd believe literally any of that more if you hadn't spent all this time trying to make "Notbots" happen. This personal rejection of the line is fine, whatever, like what you like, but you can just admit these aren't for you and pass on them, without trying to beef up that position with the...

It's neat that 20 years later Armada Prime's self-transforming trailer finally gets an homage. Of course they Geewun'd it up. /sarcasm

Both of your suggestions are great, but I was mainly looking for a chance to get that corrected color scheme on the Earthrise mold. But again, neither of those are bad ideas.

None of those changes parallel your earlier idea of streamlining Botbots to focus on the "proper looking ones" and repainting a new-character burger to look like Optimus Prime. Lines can (don't always do, but can) change when brought from one market to another, but that isn't always the case...

The price hike is kind of hard to get past, now. Really feeling it over here, as the prices have almost doubled locally compared to where they were for most of WFC. I may slow down even more on these. Jhiaxus is so deliciously silly looking in altmode, and the possibly milky white plastic isn't...

So anyway. Boy, are they really going to stick to that 2023 release date for the Netflix series 6?

It'd be neat if they did a solo redo of Prime in more Botcon-ish shades, even with battle damage and whatnot (the original whad some scuffy detailing), as a proper part of the line. Perhaps with the trailer, although that I can take or leave.

Again, missing the point of this toyline This line was never meant to fit into any of those categories. Tiny Turbo Changers, sure, that's much closer to that sort of thing, harp on that. But this line has from day one been a clean slate, and that's by design. It's not "here are the nth chibi...

Shattered Glass Magnus, who comes with both the skeletal Botcon head and the classic Delta Magnus head

Acid Storm packaging:

I only got my Golden Disk one through sheer luck, enough that I want to just be fine with it. Don't feel up to jumping through the different-but-still-demanding hoops to get this hypothetical Target exclusive (that's what it's said to be, right?). But I'm sorely tempted, because the small...

The cursing does nothing for me. Never needed it, and suddenly having it is more a gratuitous meta move than anything and kind of meh as a result. Glad to have gotten a nice worldbuilding-y excursion in the Aqua part of the world, as well as finally getting to revisit the Superboy stuff, as the...

"Primal Team" 3-pack on Amazon.

If either Hasbro or Takara Tomy concerned themselves with "proper looking ones", they would be utterly missing the very goddamn basic point of this toyline.

14 years apart: got the bulks from this set sometime in 2008, and finally tracked down this set for a great price so I could get the Mini-Cons. Will likely try and sell the bulk partners, who are now doubles. I miss this toyline. Now I just need Swerve and (mainly) Roadhandler. And a...
