    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Raksha eventually "won" in a way. Her whole thing wasn't just "I like the Decepticons," it was all about how the Decepticons were the real good guys and the Autobots were oppressing them. Which is an insane take to have with the G1 cartoon, which just went all in on the villain ham for the...

    That justification is so hilarious on multiple levels. Because yeah, Minerva isn't a a Cybertronian Headmaster controlling a lifeless body, she's a human with the ability to turn into a Headmaster controlling a lifeless body. Minerva losing her ability to be a Headmaster and fusing with the...

    I'd be so down for that. Jetlita needs more love

    It's really not nearly as bad as its reputation makes it out to be. It just didn't catch on. Which is unfortunate.

    I'm not sure the cities wiped off the map during the Thirty Years' War would agree with Mr. Pratchett.

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    My hubby and I collect a few lines across multiple companies. Everyone has been raising prices, and that's to be expected. I can't even blame them for that, because this tariff stuff is out of their hands. Still, seeing this across multiple companies, it does seem like Hasbro is being the most...

    Studio Series discussion

    The Sunbow aesthetic has never been my favourite anyway, but yeah... the lack of detailing, diaper, and that head sculpt are really seeming like bigger problems the more we see of it. Did they let whoever designed TFO Starscream's head do the SS '86 Seeker head? They should probably not let that...

    I honestly don't think it's worth it with aftermarket prices. Once Hasbro basically said it was done with the brand, those skyrocketed. Kind of like how art appreciates after an artist dies 🤣 So you have everything going for more than it should, and all of that for a line where some teams never...

    I wouldn't say so either, but I do think it's interesting that the more widespread version of G1 isn't necessarily what became the basis going forward like you'd think it would. Not saying it's a bad thing- the Marvel version has its merits and you did a good job explaining why the Primus origin...

    This is actually the first time I've ever owned Galidor toys, which is perhaps the problem. I remember seeing them in stores back in the day, but just never felt compelled to get any, or even ask for any from my parents. I was fifteen. All of my allowance was going towards CDs and Leafs...

    Tron: Ares crosses over in October

    The original Tron is "whatever" for me. It's a fun movie, but it doesn't really do it for me. Legacy, however, is a fantastic film. I love everything about that movie. So a third Tron movie that doesn't follow up from that, but instead does its own thing and barely acknowledges Legacy was...

    Not to sound dismissive to the UK fanbase but... well... I don't think this being true makes my statement about the Sunbow cartoon being more well known overall any less true either.

    Maybe DD did that? That whole run is a blank spot in my knowledge. HoS had the same general setup but instead of the Ark they were, IIRC, in stasis in a cave. Which is conceptually similar, but I'm talking about the Ark as it was in 1984. That exact set piece and starting point. For being...
