I don't think we ever found out how Beast Machines Bruticus was supposed to work. It was supposed to have a Spark gimmick at some point, and it's otherwise pretty clearly an unfinished design. I know a lot of figures never make it past concept stages (some were on War for Cybertron packaging...

It's the first time I can remember that store exclusives were re-issued as general retail. (And not as redecoes or retools.) I could be mistaken, but even if I am, it sure doesn't happen often. (That being said, I don't recall any new molds being exclusives until Origins Bumblebee...

Cyberworld seems like a step down from Cyberverse. Reminds me of Dr Who and how they'd attach Cyber to anything Cyberman-related, only cyber-dumber.

Yeah, the C might help- "Blockees" vs "Blokees." It's objectively dumber, so I can see why they didn't.

Lotta crossover potential: Transformers: Primal Rage Transformers: John Prine or if they do "remixes" like Beast Machine(s) Wars: Combiner Machines Armada Wars Power of the Legacy Powerlinx Battles for the Dark Spark

The Truth the Eyes Have Met Before

"Actual" colors in B&W movies can be tricky-- sometimes the art direction would have odd colors because they showed better contrast or otherwise looked better on-screen. So color stills (or actual costumes, props, etc.) of a B&W movie set may not be an accurate reflection of the intention...

Yeah, a Joe/TF crossover only works when either A) both are active/vibrant franchises, or 2. when it's a ground-up reboot. Grafting a dormant property onto a successful one IMO is much harder.

There's enough zany/wacky kid-appeal character in what we've seen that I half expect Bee to get PTSD during the film. It would, thematically, tie in nicely to Charlie's depression in her movie. In this essay I will

There's also a race and establishing the corrupt system and then presumably some of the revolution. Gonna be a lot going on.

There's also the exclusive/limited factor. In the Old Days, Botcon (for example) exclusives were generally 2-3x the cost of the original molds. I don't know how limited Dinoking will be, but almost certainly not mass retail numbers. (IIRC the last non-convention exclusive we actually got...

RED ALERT WOO WOO WOO Hey, that G2 Grimlock doesn't say (repack) so maybe it'll be blue (as God intended) and maaaaybe we'll get other G2 Dinobots please please I hope I hope

One of the swords on mine will *not* peg into either spot underneath. The tolerances between some of the other weapons/spots are finicky. (The heads store fine.) With seven separate weapons, it's hard to get a perfect score.

Party Wallop arrived the other day, and he's fine. The accessory storage doesn't quite work with a few of the weapons, which is okay because there are a lot of them, and it's not like I'm going to switch up the colors and weapons much. They kind of missed an opportunity to do Metalhead, but A)...

I'm just waiting for the rock lobster.

There's also Motormaster, but I'm not sure how often he showed up in the same frame/panel with a clear scale reference. ANYWAY IIRC someone once made a robot-mode scale chart based on the actual vehicle sizes and it was wiiiild. The Minibots were obvious offenders, and of course the Seekers...

What was the original release plan? I seem to remember "mid-July" but I don't remember if that was based on anything or just my guess. (And do we know if it's supposed to be two waves or just one?)

See also Huffer. And, of course, vehicle-scale Scramble City would be a mess. (A fun mess, I think, but that's me.)
