I think the packaging artwork may have been leaner since it didn't have to be animated transforming (even allowing for some mass-shifting). Everyone's a fair bit boxier in the show. I'd love for a better-matching Strongarm toy in the future, that's a middle ground between her RID2015 Deluxe and...

I think that's exactly what it is, and they've been doing okay. The disjointed feel is less from that and more from the in medias res start of the series that has them piecing together the past, and this latest episode seemingly not continuing from the cliffhanger of the last one.

I think you're both right, there. To your point, that was an incredibly effective, fun take, written and performed impeccably, so it would have been well-received. However, as Exatron suggests, applied to Rodimus it would have also steered that character into that specific direction to the...

I'm tired, boss.

Energon has an interesting interbellum (?) period, Rodimus as veteran adventurer, an Energon sun, Transformers cities on Earth and elsewhere showing one sort of TF/human partnership... Also a somewhat interesting story arc for an individual Quintesson that can be tweaked and repurposed and/or...

This was pretty neat. The most time we've spent on actually gaming and bringing up some really relevant gaming tropes, and more enjoyable than the last few times we've done this (the Red Button episode and the first one where Chop Shop joins them/the alliance breaking, it's all blurring...

I think what Exatron might be alluding to there is how the writing didn't mess with him any further (by going with a variation of the original idea, or a new bad one), just wrote him a decent little vignette that was a good showing. The name seems to just be a metonym for that time when he DID...

I might enjoy at least one series where Hot Rod/Rodimus is a jerk and/or jock, just to have him have some prominence and a bit of the upper hand. But I would hope that doesn't become his new default character niche, because I really prefer the idea of him basically being Nightwing -- elder...

Honestly not altogether surprising. Part of me thinks that's the only way it could've gone. That it's not the Covenant or Evergreen style book either is also interesting. I wonder if they just backed off the Align-ing bits and put together a general brand bible (parts of the Binder seemed geared...

Just leak them all already, ffs One thing revealed by the binder of revelation is it wasn't worth keeping under wraps and growing a mythology of its own

I'd love a Leader class Studio Series AOE Slog that doesn't use that rubbery plastic for the torso flap. Damn thing's probably melted off in storage or something. I'm so annoyed at so many of the production choices from that era.

New! Transformers Collaborative Ship Of Theseus

I'm just glad someone made a 1:1 KO of the POTP Predaking, because all I wanted was the Prime Master. The whole thing was just too tall and lanky. (I did also briefly own the OSKO of that one third party Predaking, which was before POTP I think. But I lost interest in that fairly quickly.) I...

Whose "official third party" Predaking? Takara Tomy isn't a third party. But in any case, theirs isn't a "mainline retail" offering like this. Meh, I guess it makes sense. They've reissued Titan class items before (Omega Supreme, Fortress Maximus, I want to say Scorponok at some point).

Call them Beast Machines! Aside: it was such a... strange experience seeing those for the first time. (I only know of the main ones; that big longnose rig looks neat.) I generally am eager for the silliness and bonkers designs of a lot of the media I dabble in, but I just could not get behind...

Did these finally get reissued or something? I think the Slamdance set/s did. Good, if so. Took me a long time looking for this (missed out on the first release), and was just about to give up on them entirely when someone I'd had a few dealings with on other stuff messaged me with an offer...

Wabbit season?

What do you mean, they come back every year. Although climate change has been mucking them up of late.

Frankly I thought Sabr would like that it has a thread of its own.

Eh, we can discuss it here as its own topic I think. Steevy offers some interesting talking points to start with.
