"Swapticons and Mixmashers and Gimmicks, Oh My!"

With scant few exceptions (Mega Man Legends, Metal Gear Solid, maybe a few others), the 3D video game graphics of that age (which, incidentally, is around when Beast Wars was airing) felt like a big downgrade from what we had on SNES and 2D games on the same platform to me. It wasn't until the...

That is a significant reason I am sorry I overlooked.

NGL, one of my favorite things about Fortress Maximus in G1 has been the idea that instead of Spike running that whole thing, it could be me! Kinda lost something to me when they swapped out for Emissary in Titans Return, though.

Yeah, that's kind of how I view it. Sort of like the growing nostalgia for PS1 era game graphics.

Primus's work.

Safety last!

Maybe they find piloted mecha more aspirational. Oh, huh. I could have sworn the Japanese toys I'd seen had blue eyes, while the American had red.

Good to know! Thanks! Maybe I'll get lucky and find something good.

It depends. I first saw Dragon Ball/Z in dub form, and I prefer those voices, though earlier on, the localization kinda blew, but that got better with time. Even watching through Super now, I prefer hearing the English cast I'm familiar with. Death Note, English is what was on TV, and I liked...

Honestly, as far as the mold goes, the only thing that really bothers me is the... protrusion... on the front. (The flames should be better, too, but that's a separate issue.) In RiD 2001, even. They just made X-Brawn's headlights into circles and called it a day.

Cool, but I've not had the good fortune to attend a BotCon yet, and I don't think this is going to be the year, either.

I don't hate it, but for reasons mentioned (not least of which being the price), I think I'll wait and see if they do better for something more mainline. Interesting that the smaller robot has the American version's red eyes, though. I do appreciate that it looks like fully arming the battle...

"Jettison some weight, or we'll never make it back to Cybertron!" "What about your gigantic-ass gun? The thing runs the length of the entire ship?" "No, my gigantic-ass gun is not an option! I will literally transform, dump you all out into space, grab my gun back, and whip you with it before...

I think the visuals improved a little by the end, but the animation more so.

Neat. Where do I find the Amazon Warehouse stuff?

Deep sigh.

Nothing for Canada yet, but I signed up to be notified. ...then I ganked their background to put in my desktop wallpaper folder. Miscolored fusion cannon or no, it's pretty sick. Actually, that's a lie. I ganked the background first, then I signed up for updates.
