In fairness, Takara definitely threw fuel on the fire by including drivers, and in Ultra Magnus' case they didn't stop there in restoring Diacloneness that Transformers originally cut.

That's how I feel about it. It is aggressively adequate in every way. Sometimes even stylishly adequate. I understand why that was a popular change of pace after Armada and Energon took a decidedly unbalanced approach, but it just leaves me kinda bored.

That's just stupid. A mini one could be cool, but this is just competing with the original, which you can still find for sale because it was built to last until the end of time.

I remember that one. It was the same company that was doing BW NEO Unicron and then just gave up and quietly disappeared, right?

It's terrible but I don't blame Hasbro. For a long time they didn't much care what writers did as long as the toys sold. Then they realized the lore was valuable, so they checked TFWiki to see what their lore actually was and O_O so they decided to develop a template they could understand...

As neat as this feature is, for me it's just another little thing that beaks the illusion. Unless there's a little seat back there, it's too obvious that this is backported from the toon, not something that might have existed in an alternate universe Diaclone toy. Some of my frustration is...

If it were as small as that Primus I'd be interested.

That looks worse than the original in every way. Who made it and why?

This remains the most frustrating toy ever. It fails the assignment and nothing is likely to ever fulfill that assignment now... but man it does look like the best Ironhide they've ever made.

It helps that I'm dealing with the same inspector as last year. As annoying as this is, he's a good guy. He also knows I'm crazy. He tells me to slow down instead of telling me to hurry up.

I was thinking in a corpo goon kind of way. If they do enough crossovers, eventually it could become the thing to do crossovers with. Like Funko Pops, but in an aesthetic that's not purposefully obnoxious for whatever reason.

I can see it. I was about to do a digibash but most of the colors are already right where they need to be.

You're going to have to have a slap fight and see which thread wins.

Pretenders in general may have been a dumb concept as toys, but I always thought the Mega and Ultra Pretenders were fine. If that's the approach here, yay.

Work on that house is projected to be done in seven days. If the city is satisfied and leaves me alone, I can sell it and be done with that nightmare.

That's going to make money. Classified crossovers are a great idea.

Just call Dreamwave its own multiverse, and say that's their Unicron. There's no contradiction with how their G1 universe's Unicron arc played out, because we never got it.

Bumblebee gets a sled and Ironhide doesn't? What are we doing here?

Toywise, I find Cybertron boringly adequate. Armada's gimmicks are more intrusive, and I don't blame anyone for considering them too much. They are intrusive to the point of characters being designed around them, but that also makes it really easy to remember who does what. Cybertron's gimmicks...
