    I remember getting G1 Wheelie as a child. It was probably the only Transformer that I was ever actively disappointed in. I do think this figure looks pretty good, but I'm probably good on Wheelies unless they do this mold in "Wild Boy of Quintessa" colors which, given that they did that for...

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    As with all things (I am not currently seeking feedback on this position), Animated did it right. I love Megatron's dual-rotor helicopter with huge underslung cannon alt mode.

    I bought some for my son, who was the right age for them at the time, but he was never really into them. Playmobil recently has had some pseudo Dino Riders lately, too.

    Well! The more you know! Honestly, I can see his point. I enjoyed trains as much as the next kid, but they could never compete with Dino Riders for my attention

    Nonnef has been working on Dino Riders add-ons for Hammond Collection JP dinos for a while now. He showed this rough prototype at TFCON:

    I think the current in-store offerings don't have the armor. They have two different sets of molds that they keep releasing in different colors/gimmicks. One set of molds has the armor, one set is the "catch the dinosaurs" version that has no armor for the dinosaurs but has a couple of...

    I've got a bunch of the Zuru 5-Surprise Dino Strike figures (I mean, cheap Dino Riders. I wasn't gonna NOT buy them) and I think that they work pretty well for Dinoforce shells. There's no sauropod, so I guess Rairyu is a plesiosaur now.

    That's one of the few third party add-on kits that I'd be excited about, but I also know that it would cost 37 bajillion dollars.

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    I wondered the same thing. Especially with Siege Shockwave's ability to have a four-armed mode, there are a lot of similarities

    I'm not sure that a line of Core/Legends scaled, simple-to-transform figures but with main-line flavored details and styling couldn't succeed as the Kid-Focus / Entry Level toy line. Cyberworld is close, really. If those figures had elbows, you'd basically be there.

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    I've been keeping an eye on my local Walmarts for Wave 2 as well. I don't want/need a LOT of these, but I do want the Dinobots and probably Clench, so I've been waiting. Forever, the shelf was full of Wave 1 packs that didn't seem to be moving, but after Christmas, almost all of them were...

    It does look like it's been run through some sort of AI filter, but the specifics of the remolding seems to make too much sense for AI to have come up with them. I'm wondering if maybe someone had a blurry picture that they tried to sharpen with AI? Or were just looking to alter the file...

    My bottom shelves are all "small scale" shelves, where I display my Titans alongside Legends-and-smaller sized robutts to make them seem appropriately huge, so this Monstructor will go there. That said, I would be surprised if Monstructor doesn't get a full-scale toy SOMEday, which I will...
