    It's one reason I was very happy to see SkyBound use the "crashed and unconscious in the Ark" setup. That hasn't been done since actual G1. It's a retread, sure, but it feels shockingly more refreshing to go back to that stuff then another fandom reboot where they're all on Earth for the first...

    From a toy perspective, however, it's probably the easiest to work with. Fan-made conversion kits to get this look already exist for ER and SS '86 Prime, probably because it's incredibly easy to work a blocky robot arm into G1 Optimus' design and transformation, since he's already a blocky...

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

    I mean... BW's writers intended for the show to be a G1 sequel, they just didn't nail down what version of G1 they were making a sequel to. If you dig through every BW reference to G1 you broadly end up with a version of Sunbow G1 with a heaping helping of Marvel G1 elements, as well as some...

    Hasbro's usual WTFery was in hyperdrive with Lightning Collection stuff. Half of the MMPR releases would come with Blade Blasters detailed with silver, the other half with Blade Blasters detailed with white. Some MMPR Rangers got detailing painted on their Morphers, some didn't. Some got all...

    I read the comics. I disagree. And ultimately the image was a cool one, and doesn't have an (official) figure yet. Add-ons and full 3P offerings exist, and the jump from $60 to $80 almost arbitrarily will likely dampen the demand for this. But ultimately any demand that is there is rooted in...

    She comes with a right gripping hand and a right Spider-Man thwippy hand, and left karate chop hand and left thwippy hand. Kind of odd choices because I'd have preferred a bit more options. I think the thwippy hands are supposed to her wolf hand gestures? So that makes sense, but I'd have...

    It would not shock me at all if his "Trump Always Chickens Out" stuff was just him manipulating the markets so his buddies can make a quick buck.

    I remember a guy from TFormers who was so upset by the Bayverse design for Starscream he made up a whole other character name for him because he refused to refer to him as "Starscream" And would just drop this fanfic name into conversation about the movies and expect people to get his bull***t.

    It makes sense. I just think it looks really cool/creative. If this is the place they're willing to go, then I'm very excited for this line. It opens up so many pre-industrial historical eras.

    I don't know where ox cart Optimus ranks, but it's one of the most creative designs I've seen in a long, long while from this franchise. And Starscream? His bird mode is not great, but between the flintlock null rays and the robe detailing on the robot mode, it's tempting.

    Trump still has it in his mind that the world works like it did in the 1920s-1960s where you can just bring manufacturing jobs back because "tariffs." That was his whole thing with iPhones. "Why can't we just make them here?" He has the mentality that because car factories got turned into tank...

    I had T30 Arcee and SS '86 Arcee but ended up selling them off. I ended up landing on ER Arcee for my collection. Now hear me out... I concede that it's an awful Transformer but I like it the most as an Arcee action figure. Her proportions work best for me, and she can really bust a move when...

    They are, and Vietnam cut a deal with the US when Trump started all of this, which is good for the hobby all political reasoning aside. Still, it'll affect us. Most of Hasbro's non-TF output is China-based, meaning this will still impact their bottom line and the degree to which they can...

    Steven Moffat is on record saying that the idea that show under him canonized that the Doctor is the reason the word "Doctor" means what it means, since their time travel adventures seeded the association of "wise man and healer" through time. Which is the kind of thing you think of when...
