So, this weekend, I discovered Mystery Ballerz Mech Botz. These are "blind" packed transforming robots in a gashapon-style ball. There is a code on each ball which seems to indicate the style of figure, so I'm not sure how blind these truly are. I found mine at Hobby Lobby for around $6.50 USD...

With all these movie-themed sets, maybe a Springer and Arcee "Better Things to Do Tonight Than Die" set?

In my mind, there is a fine line between making them look "like the cartoon" and making them look "cartoony". Unfortunately, there's not a hard and fast rule in my head that differentiates the two?

"I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!" "No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting." "Look, matey, I know a dead Autobot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now." "No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!" I'd finish the rest, but the...

"My Autobot counterpart is close, real close. In fact, he's right over there!" <points at similar-looking Autobot>

Skids and Mudflap in Ice Cream Truck mode could use a second run. Geewunify them and get rid of the fugly heads, and I would buy it.

Yes, the animated one, though you'll have to get to almost the end of the episode to get to the part I was referencing. There's a throughline: Comment about Bruticus' shoulder-gun being available before a leg, suggesting he use the gun as a stand-in leg --> Comparison to another dude with a gun...

It's episode 5 of the original City Hunter anime, Goodbye Makimura, when Ryo confronts Makimura's killer, The General, after single handedly wiping out the criminal syndicate that hired him. Probably easier to find locally, because I'm not tech-savvy enough to find a region-free video?

Isn't Tunnel Rat based on Larry Hama, who wrote the original Joe comic? I think Snake Eyes was kind of like the superhero of the team, in sort of a Batman-like trained to the peak of human potential kind of way. And his backstory kind of dominated the Joe comic over time (literally, Cobra...

He could pull a trick like The General (at 10:17) here. (EDIT: Thank you, Blot!) Of course, it might not end any better for him...

I got my original Twin Spin as a kid in the 3-pack with Stinger and Cy-Kill. He wound up being a stand-in for Coptur until my adult collecting years.

The extra red really does help sell the American flag motif. I'll likely get one if it's available around here (don't know why it wouldn't but distribution is a fickle thing), and might just add stripes like that myself.

They're Hack and Slash fans...

We are traveling this weekend, and, yeah, been some odd mixes of options at various McDs. Hopefully weeks 3 and 4 get decent distribution...

Yeah, all joking aside, if this results in a screening of TFTM anywhere near me, I'm probably going to try to take Haywire3 to see it.

The mold looks good in red.

I think I need Paleo-Vipers and Cobra Deinonychus in ReAction+...?

Pirate Scourge is on the table, too. Chop Shop is riding him. I was able to order Mirage on Walmarts website. Took a bit of a roundabout trip to get to me, but he arrived. Still seems to be available for shipping, for those who want him?

I may be wrong, but I have always felt like The Transformers The Movie borrowed a lot of structure (or lack thereof) from Heavy Metal. Most of it feels like somewhat isolated stories bound within the framework of a looming cosmic threat, with a rock music soundtrack in the background. (Granted...

It's Cybertronian Burt Gummer! Everyone thought he was crazy, until The Dweller appeared from the depths...
