    Blokees

    I've been collecting the G1 Galaxy Blokees. Once they were a few waves in and it was apparent that they'd be releasing a good assortment, I was all in. They're definitely a lot of fun! I'm still waiting to see if there will be more to the TF One assortment before I commit on those, though. I may...

    Are we getting a Windcharger figure?

    I really want to get a Wipe-Out. I didn't know about the United version back when he came out. I'm tempted to get one off eBay, but I'm not in love with that mold and would much rather get just him. So naturally, he'll be in a Target 4-pack if he ever happens...

    Are we getting a Windcharger figure?

    We just finally got Buzzsaw, who I was really starting to doubt was ever coming. I have to believe Windcharger has got to be coming soon now that he's the only '84 bot who hasn't gotten a WfC/Legacy/SS86 update. My guess is we'll probably see him next year.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'd prefer to shop at my local stores... if it were an acceptable option. I'd like to support my local stores, and I much prefer to actually see what I'm buying so I can ensure I get a good copy. I absolutely hate it when I receive a figure I've been looking forward to, and then discover it has...

    I guess we should look forward to a Platypus Prime Kup comic guest starring Nexus, Dillo, and Erector now?

    I like the darker grey on that Trypticon. In pretty much every other way though, I either prefer the TR Trypticon or have no preference between them. I like the original purple and teal better. I don't really like the teal kneecaps, and I really dislike having the tops of the toes not match the...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I have Legends God Ginrai, with leg stabilizers. And the PE kits for a transforming Ginrai. He looks pretty nice and has a spot in my main display case. However, he's still horribly unstable and badly in need of an update, IMO. I actually really like his size. Victory shows him being the same...

    Studio Series discussion

    Aside from combiner-mode stability, I can appreciate one thing about the frame approach. Combiners have always included mass shifting as a basic tenant of what they are. In virtually every media where they exist, the combiners are larger than simply piling their component bots on top of each...

    I want to know more about those 1:64 scale car models. I'd like to get that Hot Rod!

    Studio Series discussion

    It's definitely more kibble than CW, since CW Long Haul fully formed Devastator's waist and thighs. It is pretty comparable with G1 though, just with Devastator now being more fully formed between his stomach and knees. Given that Devastator was always a very kibble-heavy combiner, I'm more OK...

    Transforming Model Kits: Why not?

    Anger comes next, yes? Followed by offers to anyone who can help improve it? I tend to fly through stages 1 and 3 myself. 2 and 4 are my sticking points. I still haven't moved on from realizing the Choco Hot Rod kit I bought was defective and unbuildable. I can't even remember how many years...

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    I just finished watching all of the show that's out so far. Feels kinda crazy, but I realized that this is the first time I've been all caught up on a current TF show since RiD2015. Maybe even since Prime. o_O Maybe I either misinterpreted or am misremembering, but didn't it turn out that...

    Transformers Collaborative series

    I don't remember the head size being the big complaint. I recall his teeth, and his eyes to a lesser extent, being the big issues with that design. Good luck picking the right grille and headlights, I guess...

    Lore is not at all restricted to old stuff, and it isn't static. There's the brand lore (the war, Optimus & Megatron, the 13, etc.), which gets reinvented to some extent all the time. Then there's the lore for each individual series, which inevitably has some overlap with the brand as a whole...

    HasLab Victory Saber

    Mine was in storage for a large portion of these two years while we recovered from a basement flood, but he's out on display now. He's in my big display cabinet, backing up Rodimus against Unicron.

    I should specify, I'm speaking from an out-of-universe perspective here. To me, "elevating" Optimus from a normal bot who becomes a great leader to being a semi-divine direct ceation of Primus feels like it's directly aimed at taking one of the core aspects tied to Rodimus (being Primus's...

    From the wiki's Covenant of Primus page: Edit: Forgot to point out, this is also the order of the statues in the AotP artwork. Prima is first on the left, and it goes in order to Optimus at the right. For me, the 13 are the first, most direct crations of Primus. The Matrix is a portion of his...

    Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the 13th Prime is Optimus (Star or otherwise), one of his predecessors, one of the other Autobot commanders (Fort Max, Victory Saber, etc.), or anyone else. In my collection and display, they're all just going to be backup for Rodimus against Unicron anyway. I...

    SS86 Grimlock with Wheelie was a retail-budgeted release. Toxitron Grimlock with swords was an exclusive-budgeted release. AotP Grimlock is a retail release, so it uses the retail-budgeted version. I think it's really just that simple. We can speculate all we want about how much each accessory...

    I'm really surprised to see Onyx being all orange. I know his Prime Master was, but I wasn't expecting any of those to be used as a color guide. He's always been primarily black otherwise, right? I mean, it's right there in his name.
