Yeah, sticking to just 10 is tough for me, too. I left off the Omnibots and I want modern versions of them really badly. Also a nice, big Commander Class G1 Roadbuster would be insanely cool.

That picture rocks

Hmm...this is where I take my annual attempt at requesting a Beast Machines Tankor, so... 1). Beast Machines Tankor. My wish would be for Leader Class (he's a big, beefy boy). Ideally, he would include a Diagnostic Drone and Key to Vector Sigma 2). A different better take on '86 Galvatron...

My family moved states (Florida to Lousiana; New Orleans, to be exact) when G1 started. My parents didn't mind taking me around town because it helped them get the lay of the land, and they would sometimes take me to a toy store. Oftentimes, I would spend allowance money on Transformers but...

I'm still an old school, hopeless Geewunner at heart, lol. Although I have found many, many things to love about almost each subsequent line over the years. But yeah, my bread and butter remains the '84 - '87 (and some of '88) US G1 run, and these Arcees keep pinging my brain's reward center hard!

Yeah, I have more than enough in my current collection to keep me happy forever. There are a select few "it would be nice if" figures that I would still buy, but the feeling of "needing" any particular character to feel complete left my brain a long, long time ago. I feel especially spoiled...

I ordered two of the G1 version and one of the prototype. Like I said before, I just really, really want these in my G1 collection - and have ever since I saw the '86 movie. My inner 10-year-old self is doing backflips!

They do look very nice. And you know what? If these were released individually in a prior era (you know, when Takra's offerings were different and often more detailed), I would have happily jumped on them. As it is now, I really don't want another iteration of the Astrotrain mold, I already...

And preorder links are live on BBTS! https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?PageSize=50&Brand=1971&Series=40621&o=1

Wha?

Yeah, my go-to's are always BBTS and Pulse over anything else.

Time out! Does it convert??

I noticed that too! Is it wrong that I want this set mainly for the forklift (which will probably be released in alternate colors in a smaller expansion pack at some point)?

It just makes me happy that Takara care enough to produce these. I am excited for the prototype version but doubly so for what I hope will be a toon/movie-colored deco. As someone who loved the movie designs and toys growing up, it always bothered me that Arcee was absent. The modern takes on...

I think we'll get to at least Deathcobra. Not sure about the other tiers, but I guess we'll see!

Yeah, he does look really nice. I bought the OG from Target back in the day and liked it well enough. Like Gizmoboy though, I sold mine off sometime in the mid 2000s, because I was paring back my Beast-Era collection. I don't regret selling it, as I really never intereacted much with it. But...

So full disclosure: I actually sprung for both the Hasbro and Takara offerings for Computron. There were lots of subtle (and not so subtle!) differences between the two, and getting Scrounge was a nice touch. Despite having both, I would spring for a third version in a heartbeat, because they...

Honestly, the only traditionally-sized CW teams that I liked the look of were the Aerialbots and Technobots. Both of those used the same basic torso setup, so there's that. Menasor and Bruticus look okayish, but both are not "living their best lives," so to speak. Menasor, for me, was...

^Oh, it's pretty simple: when you go to cancel one of the orders, Hal's voice pipes in and says, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that."

I have absolutely zero connection to these characters, but I love the set. I've only ever seen a G1 Liokaiser that a friend and fellow collector owns, so this is going to be a real treat. Backed hard.
