Oh, good. The tailfins from my TFSS jets (Fractyl, Windsheer, SG Starscream) all had the exact same problem, so I was really iffy on the new Superion if it would be a repeat. If my nephew starts being interested in them I will see what I can find for him. Edit: that reminds me, the nosecones...

I meant more the type of plastic on the fins, if it was the stiffer or more flexible kind. I've noticed the worst problems with when the soft stuff is near painted parts. I'm considering getting a Superion set for my nephew for later on, but I was hoping to avoid the trouble the POTP...

Question on the new Airielbots, are their wings or tail fins the flexible plastic like Combiner Wars, or the hard stuff? Some of my old CW and POTP jets fins are dissolving the plastic, I was wondering if Version 2 might have the same issue.

So many lines, reissues, and recolors have made things so blurred it's hard to guess, honestly. I'm reminded of when Classics/Generations and Reveal the Shield overlapped in such a confusing manner even TfWiki openly griped about where to put things in G1 or Live Movie headings.

The actual truth is, many of the original Transformers were so sick of the war that they just kitbashed a lot of Insecticon corpses, spray painted themselves black, or even made life size decoys of themselves entirely out of coal dust, in an attempt to quietly escape the carnage, sneaking away...

Thundercracker and Skywarp faked their deaths and returned to Earth where, with the help of Elvis, got jobs as roadies helping him tour around the US posing as an impersonator of himself, as described in his autobiographical work "Bubba Ho Tep". After his injury they went their separate ways...

The Slingshot was one of my favorites, ultimate shellformer simplicity but it worked perfectly. Matt Tracker got the jet when my Thunderhawk broke apart. I also liked the Piranha, super simple but great for a kid. Though I did find that, for a 'submarine', its stickers didn't hit handle the...

Poor jet...it did so many stunts in its early career it wound up in a wheelchair for the anniversary cast reunion show... Definitely one of the strangest crossovers I've ever seen, and could be equal parts Rodimus/Optimus if they wanted to G1-Character it. I see the intent, but the...

Does anyone know if the figures for the new MASK line are close to the same scale as the originals? I was thinking I could put the spare mask on my original maskless carless Matt and make a copilot.

I wonder if that's actually for a reason? It's not common, but it wouldn't be the first time Swerve/Gears/Optimus were retooled from each other. Edit: Just saw better pictures of 'car shark' Sky Byte. Good grief, that's terrible. It's either a homage of those 'animal' Hot Wheels, or it's one...

Probably for the best if there aren't...I have the feeling that if the CyberNet Space Cube showed up, everyone would think it was the Borg and panic or something... Thing is, back in the Vector Prime days, that's probably canon in SOME continuity...

"Star Truck, the Next Generation" -or is that Generation 2? Are there Space Cubes involved?

Maybe a warehouse delayed shipping? I remember years ago when an odd mix of last line Alternators and several earlier ones showed up at Wal-Mart's all at once and got dumped on end caps because their spots hadn't existed for a year+. I got a Sunstreaker that way...

I was just shocked at the number of Gears. I thought the retro-line would sell out, but they seem to be everywhere.

And that case was a Gear Box...

So here's my plan, we get the kids to show up for the movies by replacing all the voice actors with popular stars and...oh...wait...

"Somehow, Gene Wilder returned..." "Wrong meme!" "-WITHOUT a proper receipt!" "...wait, where are we going with this...?" -The opening text crawl for Young Young Frankenstein

*squints hard at Sky-byte* "...she's RIGHT!" -You never realize just how bad the resolution on your old CRT TV really was...

But the real piles of oil-leaking dry rotted plastic-ruining rubber were the ones we made along the way. I do hope for a secret box set that pulls a Pretender Beast sort of effect with a remolded beast mode inside a simple shell, but that's highly unlikely.

I would love a mini-Monstructor. Except for Dinoking I was able to use a Safari LTD armored T-rex for an 'alternate' mount for Goryu, I have no idea how I'd add to the Monsters. I guess I'll wait to see what they come up with and go from there. I'm mainly enthusiastic about it as Dinoking...
