Isn’t that just a soft taco?

Yeah, probably adherence to Japan kids’ toy standards of accuracy. Even their cheapo sentai and Kamen Rider vinyl toys are impressively accurate.

Yeah, SRW 30 was good enough for me.

That photo is improperly transformed. There are tabs to hold the arms in place, though it is fiddly because the meaty mitts slam into each other.

Eh. Ship's sailed for Brave as far as I'm concerned. All I really wanted to know was what happened after the end of GGG Final and I don't really care enough for a new series, especially if they can't be bothered to animate it. Maybe if somebody comes up with a Genesic GGG that transforms and...

Takara’s reported to have cut back on their funding as well. Transformers is effectively a dead brand over there.

The arms have no way to attach to the wheel in truck mode. The ratchets can hold the arms in position but that’s just lame when even the original BW toy fastened the arms to the wheel. There’s really no excuse not to secure those in a 20+ year more advanced toy with an unlimited budget when...

Even if they weren’t beholden to stockholders, skipping a year would still be a dumb decision financially and Hasbro would still want to make money regardless. When you get to the levels of cash that multinational corporations have, stagnation is simply just losing money.

The stockholders would sue them for breaching fiduciary duty. Brand probably dies faster as well.

They’re still Optimal Optimus’ vehicle modes and therefore garbage. The truck mode doesn’t even bother to secure his arms and they just float around pretending to be attached to the wheel. The new jet mode tries to hide the arms but it’s still not all that great. If this were engineered to have...

I blame the extreme cost cutting. The voyagers, Leaders and Core are okay for the most part but the Deluxes get the brunt of it. Skids in particular is the worst toy I've seen in quite a while. Looks like a bad upsized knockoff of a Legends toy. Also, in Armada Optimus' case, they may have had...

I'm not gonna bother with the vehicle modes. They're jive and the transformations are terrible. The little gorilla minicon's kind of crappy in terms of build quality but the originals were a bit janky as well, so I can't complain, especially for the price.

This is the best toy HasTak have put out in a while. Mke me wonder what happened with the majority of the Legacy line.

This is a great toy. Probably the best commander they've put out so far, though I feel that his proportions are a bit too refrigerator-like and his hands suck. Tried to break up the colors a bit more as well but paint budget's nothing new. Painted in the correct eye color and some spots of...

There is a pope in the Cars world. This implies that there is at least a concept of car Jesus. How did they crucify him? Did they nail his front wheels to a cross, nail his doors to a cross or do they use a differently shaped wooden construct? Did they just put wheel locks on both front tires...

The original Perfect Effect release had a Primal Prime but the knockoff has not so far. That said, the original mold has a problem with disintegrating joints, so I would not recommend it.

I’d probably go with the crappy localized vampires that lived in a hole in the ground and were likely tuberculosis outbreaks. Shitty lore, never all that popular but a great core concept.

The official toy vehicle modes don't look very good but they're generally just the beast mode with a few extra parts flipped out. Optimal Optimus' are just the robot mode doing a faceplant with the arms in different positions. This one has a bunch of complicated steps but still result in Optimal...

The vehicle modes just aren't worth it.

When you realize that Nosferatu was the exact MO as 3rd party TF toys.
