Yeah, the US box and most of the US marketing materials just call him Laser Optimus Prime. It was always odd that the flagship toy for the gimmick dropped part of the gimmick's name, but not on all materials and not in all markets. But despite his still being called Laser Rod Optimus Prime in...

Any conversations about Laser Rod Optimus Prime always remind me how amusing I find it whenever people insist that he is absolutely not called Laser Rod Optimus Prime. 😆

Honestly, I don't at all like how bots like G2 Op and Armada Megs look with the moving shoulder pylons. They make me not want to use what articulation they have because they look so much better with their arms straight down. The new molds might have some limitations on their artculation, but...

This is exactly where I'm at, too. I used to keep everything back in the UT days. It worked out well enough storing stuff in the boxes, with the cards underneath. As that became unworkable, I started saving just the box backs and storing everything more compactly in crates. Now, that's still...

In each case of 12, you get one of each character (with the vehicles each counting as a character too), so each character has a 1/12 chance of being in any single box. However, each case will contain a chase version of one of the two applicable characters. I.e. each case will have a Rodimus, but...

I also like both, enough so that I don't think I can say I like one approach more than the other. Devastator is my favorite combiner, and the uniform green and purple probably contribute to that. I also really like Predaking. Each of those teams really feel like a cohesive unit with a common...

I would challenge this. Thus far, all of the 13 toys have resembled the AotP statue art in terms of broad strokes. That includes Star Convoy. Certainly, his artwork torso looks a lot more like PMOP than Star Convoy, but otherwise that's straight-up classic Star Convoy. The art is basically the...

Yeah, there was an interview where that was mentioned. https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/08/01/sdcc-2025-hasbro-interview-age-of-the-primes-studio-series-haslabs-more-542176 I don't see anything that would imply you could swap bots between the teams without also swapping the frame pieces, though...

The new combiners definitely aren't full Scramble City combiners, but they do have some of that functionality. Even with Menasor, you can swap his limbs with Superion. You just have to swap the frame sections rather than just the bot itself. Now, it appears they've gone one step further where...

Vortex arrived from Pulse yesterday. So... did we know that he's completely compatible with Superion? Same keying for connecting to the arms. His front wheels even line up perfectly with the frame indentations for the jets' rear wheels. Either there is something planned for compatibility...

So turns out it is Rodimus Prime in Defender wave 4. So probably Hot Rod in Galaxy. https://x.com/BlokeesOfficial/status/1952550122610647385?t=M-CLa292mTs0DcIps0Q-aA&s=19

I suspect Bruticus's frame might be a hybrid between the styles used for Menasor/Superion and Devastator. Probably the same as the former for the upper body and arms, but I'm guessing Brawl and Swindle will just connect at the knee like Scrapper and Mixmaster. Having to incorporate the combiner...

Yeah, those are assembled correctly. On the ones that are misassembled, the tops of the shoulders are about level with the outer corners of his torso. They're supposed to rise above that, as they do here. So looks like it's purely a matter of deco now.

Nintendo's really hammering home that AoI is canonical. I'd say they got the message about AoC. https://x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1950908183708381609?t=P3VC-XkU0bfjkP7OQ16YaQ&s=19

Worth noting that the Direct voiceover immediately following the trailer explicitly calls it "the canonical events that led to" TotK.

Really does come down to color preference. SS86 has a bluer purple closer to the cartoon and an opaque, painted orange cannon. Legacy has a redder purple and a translucent orange cannon like the G1 toy. Overall, I prefer the Legacy version, but both are nice. Just avoid the Kingdom version. In...

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_Dark_of_the_Moon_(novel) Basically, Optimus and Megatron team up to take down Sentinel, and Megatron takes the Decepticons back to Cybertron after. No having Optimus execute the guy who just saved his life.

I would've really liked to see novelizations for AoE and TLK. I really appreciated getting to see how DotM was originally intended to end. I preferred that original ending over what we ended up getting. I think I would've liked to get a fuller picture of what was intended for the last two. TLK...
