    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    The more I ponder on this, the more puzzled I get; the Dorvack tank, Tulcas, was left out of the Deluxe Autobots lineup, ostensibly due to its lack of a head, yet the Onebox van was left in the line, albeit heavily modified in fiction (beyond the early issues of the Marvel comics). I'm not...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    This is my Encore Ironhide (with a Reprolabels Sunbow face sticker, because that's what I was like back then...) in as close to the same angle as I could approximate to the teaser image: It looks to me (and anyone can feel free to copy the image and repost side-by-side with the teaser if that...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Completely off-topic, but in the US Midwest, we have a pizza chain called Pizza Ranch; their pizza is okay(ish), but they are much more well-known for their fried chicken, so much so that some of their uniform shirts joke about calling it Chicken Ranch... More On-topic, a long time ago, on a...

    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    Due to my job, if an alarm goes off after-hours, I am the first person who gets called in to check on the store. Now, if I see evidence of an actual break-in, I would call the police. But, if everything looks intact externally, then I'm going into a dark, empty store where something set off a...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    I think the issue here is that the "mission" of Missing Link has seemed (externally looking in) to be recreating the G1 toys but with added modern engineering. This was a niche that had not previously been tapped, and even ML Arcee was based on a G1 concept prototype that existed (albeit as 2...

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    The dance game was great, very amusing.

    Transformers Collaborative series

    Old news, I know, but I found an Ertl PowRTron at a thrift store today (not the actual Knight Rider one, but still close), and anyway, I thought I'd compare it to the Knight Rider Crossover figure. As you can see, they're pretty hard to tell apart! (Agent Knight is the one on the right)

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Looking back at some of the other posts, I'm wondering if maybe I misread the assignment? Also, I clearly need to reorganize my Transformer collection, these were the only Cliffjumpers I could put my hands on in the couple minutes I had to make this...

    Lego is finally doing Megatron!

    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    Kal-El straight-up lied. It doesn't stand for "Hope", it stands for "Sitter".

    I am super-jealous! The Dread Launchers are one subteam I never quite got my hands on when I was building my Gobot collection. Nice find! (I think the Dread Launchers and Secret Riders featured in the "Guardian Academy" episode of the cartoon, for those that are just now learning about them)

    Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    Wasn't that name associated with a...different kind of adult toy? I would think Hasbro would stay away from anything that might not be google-search friendly.

    You could almost fit Optimus' trailer in there. Maybe that's where it goes...?

    Yes, it can, and yes, they can (with room to spare).

    Studio Series discussion

    The wing/jetpack assembly never wanted to stay attached on my copy. Otherwise, it was a decent rendition for the time.

    Studio Series discussion

    I agree with this sentiment in principle, but with one caveat: I like to collect characters with a shared body type. The Seekers and the Datsun Bros are the best examples of this, but there are plenty of others. In this case, I really want to see a Glyph and TapOut from the Bee/Cliff mold, but I...

    Studio Series discussion

    Honestly, if we get a Glyph and Tapout from the SS Bee/Cliff mold, I'd kind of be good with that.

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    I got lucky in my teenage years, I guess; my dad kind of pushed me to "give up" toys when I was 12 or 13, but since I was the oldest of (what was eventually) 8 kids, I could always buy toys "for my younger brothers and sisters", and playing with them was looked upon as being a good brother, and...

    Blokees

    Dipped my toes in the water for the first time with a Blokees set with the Ark Storage Box: It does what it says on the tin. Looks like the Ark (which I have sadly little representation of in my collection; couldn't swing the Titan figure), and opens easily to store small accessories. It's...
