Over time I've grown leery of the "laziness" explanation/accusation and more open to other possibilities. I mean, this was a line that was characterized by a clutch of very involved new toolings and another of dusted-off available molds. Spending on modifying cosmetic aspects of the reused...

But only for Transformers. So if all you wana is some Bots, you're good. Seriously, the old toy colors can look nice on Hound. I still have my Henkei one, which was quite a step up from the Universe 2.0 one. If they nail the shade like Retro Brawn's green, and give him accents in a nice gold as...

I'd love some insight into how that pair happened, and I'd also love to see more of them. Maybe also tweak Blitzwing'a deco so it's a bit more distinct from Flywheels/Skytread. Or just commit to it and give us a T30 or TR or Legacy Blitzwing as Skytread to go with the Botcon Battletrap. That was...

The obvious solution is to only ever release them in two-packs with ambiguous labeling.

Oh, my stars. I suddenly have some interest in that mold. (I technically have it as Flame, but you know what I mean.) I wonder if a 3P upgrade kit can give like a two-part clear green grid shield that goes between the orange forks on the front and the cannon barrel, so he could have some wings...

Yup, that seems to be it. Woof. This is all making me more excited for the SS86 anniversary one.

Ah, there we go. Must've seen one of those erroneous fanmade things or whatever.

This buccal fat removal surgery trend has gotten out of hand.

I think it's something the animation model has? Not that it looks any better for having that reason. I saw some while googling, but of course, I am not THE person to ask.

I'm not trying to start a debate or make any claims about your claims here as I have no evidence either way, but huh. I remember the opposite sentiment resonating more, in that it was unfortunate that Optimus was stuck being a red truck forever while Megatron got to be reinvented and find new...

I'll likely bite on cartoon colors. I'm more appreciative now of little things like non-standard-silver faces, but this overall looks a little plain. As can happen when mapping lower-budget/smaller-base decos onto a bigger canvas. But I'd definitely be down for a Wild Boy of Quintesson deco...

The way of all (plastic) flesh, sadly. Swerve up there has a slightly yellowed chest/torso. C'mon, Hasbro, you have that new Legacy Silverbolt mold. Time for a Windrazor...

I'm a bit torn on this, as it's basically the SS86 design released in the MP format. That's a bit underwhelming since Optimus, for all the nebulousness of "Style Gen", at least had some interesting bits with a different take on the head and some arm blades -- on top of being evocative of the...

Classics but smaller and pricier (Unless it's the Seeker mold, which at least got bigger when it got pricier, until it got displaced)

That Jazz is gorgeous. The light blue parts are muuuuuch lighter in the screencap, almost giving an Action Master Jazz vibe overall (maybe other screens show it closer), but the shade in the digibash is really pretty.

Using the Earthrise molds for all of them. But since it's not a Target exclusive, it's automatically not a stupid idea.

At which point the whining would be followed by "at least Takara stepped in to save the day again after that stupid Hasbro dropped the ball multiple times. What do you MEAN, 'but this is exclusive to Japan-based stores in the same way I was complaining about'? How is that relevant?" Funny...

I don't really disagree with any of that, Sabrblade, but you know as well as I do that none of that matters because the sole rationale is "wah a thing isn't available right at my doorstep wah".

My heart is so vicariously warmed.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but it DOES involve an upgrade kit, so I guess here's as good a place as any. This was one of the belated tailend-of-December buys that arrived in the first week or so of January. As I'm sure many others did, I missed out on the Legacy release of the Animated...
