Metal singers must all be part Muppet since they all end up sounding like either Cookie Monster or post-puberty Elmo

There are people with their Blitzwing still on preorder. That thing’s preorders started in 2016 and only had rough 3D renders at that time. Transbots and DX9 have since announced, released and reissued their MP Blitzwings for the Hasui style. FT released new renders and a price bump in 2020...

No chance. FT price gouges like a muther and that other company with the similarly sized Metroplex charged $1500 but that thing actually looks to be on track to release next year.

I dunno, it’s not wise per se since they essentially have no track record aside from maybe their shoddy Omega Supreme, but Devastator is essentially just six smaller toys. It’s the zealots who think they’re actually making Fort Max that get me. Even if it does get made, this is the company that...

I just think their designer is a hack who skates by because they do characters nobody else is doing at the MP scale where people have more money than sense. I still don’t know how they’re still around after their absolutely horrid monsterbots and diaper-wearing Ginrai with no thighs.

Don't be silly. The windows aren't cel-shaded.

how do you make Overload even uglier than the original? Armada Overload wasn't exactly a looker but everything about him exuded no-thrills walking high-caliber weapon. This guy has a large torso and small limbs, evoking someone like Bulkhead more.

His altmodes suck and all but the real question is: why is Megatron's crotch so enormous? Also lol at Starscream's Lego mace

I find it awkward about the toy is that they designed a way to hide the face that’s only visible when the tank is flipped over when his shoulders and thighs are in full view. his facial expression’s weird too.

Big Prime sounds likely if they continue the naming convention but it kinda gives off second-rate Soundcloud rapper vibes.

Yeah, parodies can happen with the permissions of the rights holder. The point is in most other places, you wouldn’t even need permission at all. That’s how strict their laws are and why Takara would be very careful around them. For fandom works, as I understand, they are technically against...

They're very strict about copyright to the point where unauthorized uses have to be mosaiced out or otherwise censored for broadcast. This goes even for things that are clearly parodies, as those aren't covered as fair use there unlike in most other countries. It’s not often enforced but it...

Not saying it’s not possible but there’s a reason why some Japan-only characters get toys and the others don’t. As has been noted before, just because they do obscure stuff every once and a while doesn’t mean they do it full time. They have many more universes to work with, with characters more...

It appears to be pretty decent, aside from the submarine having a hand instead of the claw and selling the claw submarine separately with the otherwise unchanged drones. Personally find that he has a pretty bad headsculpt.

I feel that even with the more obscure characters, they’re still thinking with marketability in mind. Lio Convoy/Prime was the go-to lion mold repaint for over a decade and Magmatron was actually released internationally. Both also showed up in mass-release comics. Galvatron… got his colors used...

Never forget.

If i were in charge of making a new Magmatron, the only thing that'd be on the list to change for sure are the head wings. Dude thinks he's Dumbo.

I see. Haven’t had the time to watch the video yet.

Thought so but man, they’re tiny. Smaller-looking than the previous effect parts though that may just be a shrunken image of them I guess.

What are the little purple things on the box?
