    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    [What is actually said in this reel? I'm not able to play it with audio right now. It seems to just be a person speaking to camera in their (or A) collection display room, and the only text is "chris cocks burned down the library of alexandria" and a reply from the OP that says "I heard it from...

    I mean, I'm not here to doubt when a ginormous robot dinosaur might feel attacked over his insecurities in figure skating

    I really liked what they had going throughout Prime Wars, and just wished they had more of a retooling budget. There was a steady stream of neat little Legends class molds, and even the quick redecos like CW Windcharger got better redos later on. Plus with TR on they started having the...

    Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    Edit: Not even all of those decisions are necessarily corporate greed, as opposed to just odious and/or coming across as dumb (the last thing I'D ever do is shelf Power Rangers, especially as it's not a license and I could use it directly, like what) based on what we're privy to. I think the D&D...

    This, for me. Core was cool on a few levels; one, it allowed for this, where we'd get little versions that could hang with the Titans (it seemed tailor made for Kingdom, where there was an Ark they could be displayed with). Two, it offered a venue for characters who had to be that size in the...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I vaguely remember someone doing the Cybertron Defense Team up as Dinobots forever ago and that was a really cool looking set.

    I was glad to just pick and choose from the G1 colors (to be fair I did get half the group), but I'd definitely have made sure to get all six if they were the G2 colors (but they probably wouldn't have done my preferred Green Snarl/Red Slag). I'd still get the Dinoking like I did in this...

    Armada Scavenger donated his cloak cape thing and it was enough to make blankets for protoforms for decades.

    Yeah I got the Toxitron collection and thus Grimlock on the same principle, but I really can't sustain that for the rest of these. Maybe someday.

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    That could be better than rag, tbh. Can picture the lips forming the fr- which would account for the voice dropping from the end of the "the".

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    I am genuinely not hearing an L in there anywhere. One of the earlier slowed-down version actually makes it clearer that the voice disappears between words (to make the r sound), where the SL consonant cluster would have to be more prominent. I'm thinking that the "L" heard is likely that sharp...

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    I suspect it might be a bit of both, but much more heavily weighted on the latter. Busybodies people are always complaining about something in little pockets of community, and Hasbro probably started more seriously considering even these minimal potential trouble spots, more proactively taking...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    I'm the one who should be sorry, I was just running with the joke rather than being helpful. There was nothing offensive about it, it just lined up in a "directly below enemy scrotum" way. Your pictures definitely do capture multiple lines of metal flake convergence in the plastic mix. This...

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    Yeah I read "for all the dumb comic ideas, you'd think I'd be better at this" and then it was like abandoning all effort at humor and going "boom, buried in a crotch"

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    Hey, every Dinobot is someone's favorite Dinobot, and sometimes people just want what they grew up with. (Actual logic of fans fighting against the displacement/renaming at the time. I'm not saying I agree, although I do still call my own copy Slag instead of Slug -- while totally getting why...

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    Just listened to it on a different device, and the comparatively tinny speakers do make the electrical zap blend with the word, so I can imagine how it might sound like "slag" to someone. Earpods separate the sounds better and it's "rag". Even slowed down as suggested, the electrical sound is...

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    I hear rag, alongside a electrical sparking noise. It's not a roll-y r, flowing from "the" (so it's like "thurrag").

    Outside? Inside? No, thinking ABOUT the box: your thoughts on Transformers packaging

    The impression you get from that chain of packaging designs, I'll not argue. But I maintain that for me, "there's red on it" is not the same thing, and I don't think of those as "red packaging". "In some way" is contributing more to that claim than the bits of red on Animated packaging do to a...
