    Makits: Hasbro wants in on that Blokees money

    But don't you see, evil Hasbro HAS to be doing the worst, greediest thing possible, to (and this is a direct quote) "screw over the fans". "They want to make kit figures of their own" is a reasonable bit of speculation to make on what little we actually know about this, but wow...

    Makits: Hasbro wants in on that Blokees money

    Hmm. Didn't even occur to me at the time, but there's some visual similarities to the logos between Kre-O and Mākits. I do wonder where this is going. I mean, Mashers came back... That this is Hasbro Mākits rather than a filing specifically connected to one property is interesting. Kre-O...

    I've been after this for some time, and was looking forward to this solo release. But after getting and handling Chase I'm a little apprehensive about the clear plastic. (I do think the main struts are opaque and just the roof/windows are clear that sit atop that.) Then again, Wasp had even...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Before I scrolled down I thought it was going to be something sweet about uppies. Sigh. C'mon, Scorpiono-- Scorpino-- Scorponxo- just, c'mon.

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

    This whole thing just reeks of being an afterthought that came to them at 4:45 on a Friday. The idea itself is already underwhelming, but the execution of "just put pegholes wherever" doesn't help it. I suppose the excuse is that if all the artifacts are there then these unsightly punch-holes...

    Blokees

    This severely dampens the excitement for this line, for me. Really just true blind packing in general. (Snip whining) Shopping for these in the wild is, well, wild. Just happening upon a case as it's opened at least has you just grappling with pure luck, but that's hardly a common experience...

    Unicron Trilogy: Which series is best?

    I don't disagree that the multiverse as a concept allows for a lot of interesting possibilities, and if a writer doesn't want to use it, they can just not mention or use it (just don't contradict it I guess). I dig a multiverse, really. Came into DC after Crisis, but welcomed the return around...

    Unicron Trilogy: Which series is best?

    Definitely this, but also if they'd just developed it as an overall ideal framework and commissioned specific pieces to flesh out certain specific parts, rather than expect everyone hired to make Transformers stuff suddenly care about fitting it into this larger mosaic they likely had little to...

    Unicron Trilogy: Which series is best?

    Brands are just firmly settled into "our evergreen stuff is it" these days. There's still some innovation but there's a lot of retreading the known, proven stuff. This would've happened with or without the multiversal singularities (specifically) ending up like they did. I wouldn't be surprised...

    I'd be up for that, I think. A G1 Thunderwing with little Stormbringer touches and the Ultra Mode whatever.

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    I'm pretty sure that's the read on the line's whole "what could have been possible then" that drives this. It ended up completing a bunch of other assignments.

    I'd love one in the Henkei deco. Siege also went darker green but the accents and overall look weren't it. Green too desaturated, bronze accents instead of yellow/gold.

    Vallejo does (did?) clear paints as part of their line that's as safe as the opaque ones to use, but the thinness is quite different and requires experience and/or talent to use well, as I have demonstrated for years by not using them well. That said, if Exatron were open to that, I imagine...

    I looked up the lineups after posting and yeah, those are still in need of redoing. I can wait on Red since the clear plastic on him isn't as pressing a structural concern. Skids I'm generally happy with but the roof/windshield can be scary. Tracks needs a new mold if that's possible, but at...

    Yeah, but I'd appreciate another shot at the Jazz. Some of the others have found second releases in the same opaque window format, but Jazz got a couple of clear windowed reissues (SS86 and a deco tweak for DCS). Maybe release him individually and swap in, idk, Ratchet so it's another Voyager...

    Mirage seems more retooled than I thought initially. And yet it feels like it's still mostly the figure I have. So far the other two still seem like the big draws. But whatever, keep giving me more opaque plastic sets. A Jazz/Smokescreen/Windcharger (who really should have been done with...
