Magnus looks like he's giving himself a backrub! So, Magnus, Sunstreaker, Cordon, and Arcee are all Missing Link figures. Does anyone else feel like Silverbolt is the odd bot out? Has there been any hints of an ML Silverbolt/Superion?

Got Elita-1, probably take more pics later, but I just thought I'd share this little detail: So, the nose of the boat folds back so it's not sticking up over her head, and it's spring loaded for whatever reason. Anyway, someone sculpted a winch and hook on the hinge! It's a cool little detail...

Make Nexus Prime count as 5?

My other major win of the week, I finally found a TR Arcee on ebay with a markup I was willing to accept, so now I have a Headmaster Arcee! My wife (who is awesome!) got me TR Brainstorm as an engagement gift, and Nautica and TR Blurr were the toppers for one of our wedding cakes, and I picked...

Yeah, it's super cool in theory, but my practical side keeps saying "why not just build a Metroplex-shaped shelf to display some Transformers?"

So, I noticed Megatron has sort of a Gerwalk-like Minotaur mode: Galvatron and Snarl can kind of do the same thing, but Megatron's looks "best".

"Finished" mine, for the moment: Now I just have to convince myself that I don't need the Devil Satan Six version...

Not to mention he doesn't have his Targetmaster buddy. No sense doing the Autobot Targetmasters without their Targetmaster partners. Spoilsport looks great, and Sureshot looks pretty good, too!

<after a show of power involving lots of pyrotechnics> "I am the Noisemaze Mass Production Type, but there are those who call me...Tim!"

Awesome! I've got Gore Jaw coming via ebay, still need a South Claw (the one with the painted wing ribs), but got 2 of the other winged arm guy, so I can at least form a passable Monsterous. Not sure why I never tried to finish the set before now, but a couple fortuitous collectible store finds...

I kind of got the impression that Snarl (and maybe others?) were following Grimlock, but when Grimlock joins Optimus team, he just kind of walks away. Alliances in this show are pretty fickle, I guess?

Yeah, I remember that they were higher than I wanted to pay at the time, but boy do I kick myself for not buying them then! Maybe they'll get an update under the current TF team...

It's weird, because 2 of the figures were revealed as Walmart exclusives. I have a feeling that the stores that aren't carrying Age of the Primes and Studio Series will eventually have them, but they're taking their sweet time clearing out the old stock it will replace.

It's kind of a weird balance with Ultra kaiju? On the one hand, there's this whole continuity and world-building established with recurring kaiju, chouju, and aliens that I like to see. On the other, the series can stagnate pretty hard if it only features things that came before. I just...

Regarding the Cyberworld toys, I've seen Grimlock, Scorponok, and the wave 1 Basic figures at Targets lately, but so far the only place I've seen the Powered up dudes (Galvatron and Bumblebee) was at Scheels. Haven't seen any of 'em at a Walmart yet. If anyone else is buying the figures, what...

Is anyone else watching Ultraman Omega each week? I'm liking the story so far. Omega's Sorato persona is interesting, not always having the answer for everything right away, sniffing for kaiju, and almost obsessive focus on food. The kaiju and meteor monsters feel fresh, and the move away from a...

On paper, I could get behind any new cassette releases. In practice, though, I was not able/willing to track down the limited Noise/Graphy/Dial/Zaur reissues when they were offered, so there is definitely an upper limit in my head for what is reasonable for a cassette-sized figure. That said, I...

Why not try the Megatron/Skywarp Mashup for Missing Link? It's not a gun mode, it's an unproduced concept that nobody has, and if they weren't married to the Skywarp fusion, they could deco the Seeker like Megaplex. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Skywarpatron.jpg

I got a Dollar Store KO of the Victory Saber set and didn't wind up getting the original. Skipping that, Reverse Convoy, and the Beasts is one of my biggest collecting regrets from that era.

Didn't Red Green build that once?
