That does make sense, as does letting a big-ticket item not be exclusive.

Trypticon and the two-pack are already listed as sold out. Since I'm pretty sure we're still in the Premium pre-order window, oof. UPDATE: Never mind-- I didn't realize that Amazon (at least) was stocking them too. Somehow I was under the impression that at least the two-pack was a Pulse...

Either way, it's at least *something*. *glares at almost every Devastator ever (not you, Construction Maximus-- you're my favorite)

As much as I was annoyed by yet another combining system with Menasor, I do like Silverbolt's backwards compatibility/mix-and-match potential. If we're gonna do frames, ugh, fine, can we at least have some fun with our toys?

Ok, I was close-ish. (Someone going undercover and pretending to be one of The Thirteen is such a fun idea, though. I mean, he wouldn't fool the actual Other Twelve, but how do you check an ancient demigod's ID?)

Can I just say, that IMO "Maccadam is a Prime/Ancient/quasi-deity" only really *works* as a rumor-slash-gag, not as an established fact? The hyper-literalness sometimes gets out of control. It gets out of control and we're lucky to survive it. (Along the sane lines, wasn't Logos Prime...

please excuse my son from Thirteen Class because he is on fire signed, The Fallen's Mother

RiD 2001 Grimlock has entered the chat. (You said "a" Grimlock.)

That should be the new default Shockwave redeco.. Anytime a Shockwave/Shockblast toy comes out, it gets that redeco after half a year or so.

pretty sure that's G1 Duststorm

They tried that with the Dinobots and, well. (I love them, especially with the 5mm connections, but my opinion is a distinct minority.)

This could be a good way to get Beachcomber out again-- that wave had *terrible* distribution. (Devcon might be a little tricker. But that would be fun-- G1/reissue-style repacks of characters that didn't have G1 toys. Call it The Lost Series or Secret History or something.)

It's also outsourced in a sense to the *past*-- with legacy characters, you're just supposed to know who Optimus Prime and Megatron and Ferak and Wingblaster and Leader-B and Batman and Scarecrow and Mrs. King and whoever are.

Probably-- all I remember is that it was apparently not the main TF team. (And as has been said, no Takara involvement. TFs made strictly by Hasbro-- and ones made strictly by Takara(Tomy), are usually lesser in some way than the team effort approach.) IMO they should've put experienced...

IMO the Marvel ones benefitted by not being based on specific fictional vehicles. A lot of Star Wars ships are just trickier. There was also less leeway that, say, actual airplanes get. But yeah, "mech version of existing character" isn't really what a lot of us wanted. (It worked okay...

it's a real shame we never got Emu Xaaron

MegaMan has a lot of potential as a quasi-converting toy line-- from transforming robot animals, to robot animals combining with humanoid robots, to multi-stage mecha... Even if just the robots' arms transformed-- that'd be something. Not a lot of directly-competing-with-Transformers X-to-Y...

Yeah, IMO TF X MM is more likely to involve things like a Megatron that turns into a Wily Machine, a MegaMan-themed Optimus Prime, or Yellow Deviltron than any Robot Masters.

TurboMan and NitroMan are RIGHT THERE. (Granted, they're very un-toyetic, and Collaborative has been mostly about Hall of Fame-level TFs or brand new characters, but, y'know, thematically...)

It could be Fourth Declension and be Straxus with a long U [like 'goose']. Or if it's originally Greek, Straxes. (I am certain Straxus was not Greek. His palm tree suggests he or his forbears migrated from somewhere more tropical.)
