I'm glad they did the brown/bronze scheme. I found the "Onyx was Shockwave the whole time" twist to be the final straw that broke me with IDW1's storytelling. It had been grating on me more and more for a while but that was it. They can do a IDW blue repaint down the road and that can be...

The NF Ravage's cassette mode is half-assed, but at least it does try a bit? It really does seem like the new ones gave up.

I also suspect an updated Ravage more in the style of more recent cassettes is part of the draw for fence sitters.

Why not?

Alpha Bravo is a quick and easy repaint for any G1 Vortex mould going forward, so it makes sense that they wouldn't go out of their way to make sure it couldn't work. Anyway Nexus is a Voyager and Evan (I think?) said "he's a combiner of sorts." Given what they've done with Amalgamous and...

I think ER really hit the sweet spot for detailing. They toned it way down from Siege, but still worked in a lot of neat little aesthetic additions to the sculpted surfaces. The ER cars and jets are criminally underrated in the amount of real world detail they worked in. The break mechanisms...

"NOT NOW, ANTHONY, I'M INNER MONOLOGUING!"

*John Hasbro cackles evily*

The long reign of ToyBiz' Marvel Legends Mandarin being the only Marvel Legends comics Mandarin is finally over!

I just don't care for the super smooth Sunbow look. And I've reached the point where the Netflix and ER guys are the peak of what I wanted. Sure, new versions may be more G1 animation accurate, but I'm kinda content?

That's fair. But I'm just saying that the MCU has always been fast and loose with the definition of their superhero power sets. This is by design. They can have their characters seem as vulnerable or powerful as they need without having to be constricted by past canon. It's a genius writing...

This almost looks like a Hasbro retail take on the new Diaclone stuff. Insanely cool.

The "great" thing about super soldier powersets is that they're pretty vague so the writer can tone them down or up depending on what's needed. You can't have a consistent power set if the writer never establishes the limits!

Which is what ended up happening with Star Wars.

I do find it interesting how Hasbro always seems to cycle back to "primarily white packaging with some red highlights" eventually. Cybertron... but then it goes away for Classics and the movie stuff but it's back for Animated... goes away for Universe 2.0, movie stuff, RtS, but it's back for...
