    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion ll Update: 2026 Product revealed - Combaticons, Beast Wars and more Primes

    Onslaught is looking very good overall. However, I'm a little disappointed that his cannons look so stubby, wide, and short in truck mode. Not sure why they did that, as it just looks...off. But I'm still looking forward to the finished product and am sure that there will be a $60+ upgrade...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    Yup. Appears to be a female driver for this release.

    ^ I once had to spend a full week off of Prodigy (circa 1993) for swearing. I regret nothing!!

    Oh man, that Arcee mold. I believe I have almost - if not every - iteration of that T30 figure (Hasbro releases with both hand variations, Takara release, Nightbird, exclusives, etc.). I love it so much, and as @lastmaximal mentioned, a very cool origin story. Even though it lacks some...

    Agreed on both counts, sir. I love the heck out of that T30 Waspinator. As for Rhinox, well, I opted for Takara's TG-31 release and have never regretted it.

    I don't follow the comics (or much fiction at all, for that matter) but I thought that this "take" on Optimus was an interesting one. My understanding is that up until now, the only viable toy options were upgrade kits, so this at least provides a fully sanctioned, official option. While this...

    I absolutely love that Elitascream mold. I have had countless hours of fun cutomizing mine, trying out different options (she is currently being piloted by a female Diaclone Reboot pilot in an all-white deco to match, and she has a Gundam sword and shield, which integrates fully into her...

    Hasbro "Transformers Timelines" comic packs

    I really like the way Optimus turned out, but that Starscream? Not so much.

    Just an FYI that preorders are up at Walmart for Retro Outback and Wheelie. Good luck...

    The new Transformers Deal Thread

    I picked up a few Classified Joes that I previously had slept on (Agent Helix, Mutt and Junkyard, Jinx). Not a bad sale, just not quite as much TF stuff as I thought there might be.

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    So my Retro G1 Seaspray arrived today, and he's glorious! Thanks again for the suggestion, @The Mighty Mollusk . I canceled my original preorder (which was still due to arrive by September 25th!). Truly bizarre stuff, their preorders. But Seaspray is great, nonetheless.

    Maybe Waspinator :LOL:

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    Thanks, I will give that a try. I've heard horror stories about Walmart and things like this, but I have yet to experience anything, until / unless this is it.

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    I have lived in Florida for the past 20 years, because of family. It's a pretty sucky state to live in. So, about these Walmart G1 Retro releases: anyone have their Seaspray shipped? Mine is still says, "To be Released on September 25th". However, if I cancel the preorder and buy a new one...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers: Turkey Time!

    Yeah, I just kind of gave up on all fiction, for the most part, around the AEC era. If I'm being honest, I never really have picked it back up. I suppose that makes me a bad Transformers fan, because other than watching a few episodes of Animated, Prime, and some of the live-action movies, I...

    The nicest thing that I can say is that SS86 Galvatron has the best-looking face of all of his permutations, IMO. The colors just work so well. I've got the DNA kit for the Kingdom release, and it does improve his presence quite a bit. It doesn't save him, but it does go a long way to making...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers: Turkey Time!

    I started out watching Armada, but never finished it. I suppose @LordGigaIce's assessment is apt, because the first part seemed pretty bad to me back then. Of course, the show also dovetailed nicely with my general, waning interest in the fiction surrounding most then-new Transformers. Most...

    Ah. Still, not bad deals all around. Especially that Skullgrin, IMO.
