I would just love to see the box they draw lots from or the wheel they spin to assign versions to characters. Partly out of excitement to see how they'll keep it going. Scourge the Ghost Pirate Ship, Shockwave the Spinosaurus. Blitzwing the Poolmobile? Grimlock the Bullet Train? whatever it is...

Once upon a time someone would've had Awesome Inside Sources and gone He Tell Me that this was us finally getting a G1 remake that looks like the characters stepped right out of the show, with modern articulation and accessories and Optimus would finally have a Matrix and there would be a Mākits...

To be fair, we likewise don't know how much either side is "raking in". There's every reason for the arrangement to be slanted in favor of the IP owner, and if they didn't set it up that way, that's on them. But the track record of "making ancillary stuff based on our IP" is not exactly in...

I'd probably have so much more of Cyberworld if they had elbows and neck swivels on all of them. Even just the former, but if we could have both...

And this does have the long, gator-y snout I've seen Spinos (okay, Scorn) depicted with, as opposed to the more snubby snout I've seen dimetros (okay, Sling) depicted with.

It's out ?! I must have that Kiss Players Rodimus. And perhaps paint at least the engines/pipes silver. Odd choice to go with a blah gray on all those parts. (Also, a yellow windshield might have been nicely evocative of the G1 spoiler as well as suggestive of chest flames in robot mode. But...

Yup, that's the one from this batch that really stands out. Jazzjumper makes me antsy for them to get around to the Throttlebots.

I really hope this is something that complements Blokees and the like rather than competing directly with it. Hasbro struck a great balance here, with multiple companies (Auldey, Blokees, Yolopark) paying them to create non-transforming poseable versions of various characters so that Hasbro...

That's about my experience too, yes. Paid a little extry for the set when it was first out and already scarce, and then was mystified at the price continuing to climb through and after the pandemic. And then Lancer showed up and oh, okay, they're doing this. I'm always glad for a reissue of a...

For some reason the shades make it pretty tempting. But what I'm really hoping for is for them to get past the usual Seeker colors. Do a Skywarp to round these out, then get into the further reaches and surprise us, similar to how randomly the green Bumblebee movie Thrust showed up. The concept...

Because then all the people screaming about how a dimetrodon is not a dinosaur would come out of the woodwork protesting that the name is patterned after the Dinobot name. But then much cooler people could stop them by saying "joke's on you, the name is patterned NOT after the Dinobot name...

This sounds amazing.

I mean, it WAS the 90s, who's to say Black Shadow wasn't a Space Gangsta What just happened

Roadbuster would be a perfect candidate, but I don't see them taking that layup. These remakes seem to either be "I see what you were going for but it's heavily compromised because 2/3 of it is someone else", or "wow this was blessed with its own mold and can be crazy faithful". Maybe to...

I'm in for that second one. Viper was pretty cool and I hope they make a new one along with Bad Boy. But for the former, I'd prefer new characters. For all the development they'd probably never get, it'll still be less annoying than the millionth "but why is the AWE Striker Bumblebee, he's not...

I would actually not mind a separate subline or capsule that uses the Headmasters/Titans Return play pattern.

I think part of that is just the dearth of Transformers that aren't remakes or expansions of existing concepts or designs. It's been a minute since we could randomly get something like Energon Snow Cat for the first time. Idk why they don't do it for, say, Cyberworld, but I more fervently want...

In a vacuum or in general I get it. The vehicles are supposed to be the moneymakers because they're generally large, empty chunks to produce, so pivoting to needing a lot of engineering and parts is not the move. But it's such a no-brainer for a Collaborative line. Joe compatibility has to be...
