I do hope the Matrix is AA or AAA, I hate built in li-ion packs that limit the life of the toy to the life of the battery.

I hate Astrotrain's shuttle mode, his robot mode looks clunky, and his train mode has...an effect part that makes the choo-choo smoke...? ...It's a must-buy, I have my nephew's next birthday planned...

I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now...or I would if any company had the guts to make decent Invader Zim toys. The Pop things don't count. Though I will admit that I think Hasbropulse is a bit (barely) more user friendly than Mattel Creations. The non-Premium shipping isn't as troublesome.

If POS means what I think it does, I'm glad the amount of it is declining. Unfortunately, I also know it doesn't...

This is why I hate clear plastic on joints, and joints that rely on the plastic to bend to assemble in the first place, then to keep pressure on to not just flop, like ball joints, are the WORST SORT.

Ok, re: the Maximo pictures out today, if this is NOT having some Unicron-ish recolor I will be profoundly shocked. Heck, just change the head a bit and make it orange and you have Selects Beast Wars Neo prototype style Unicron right there...

"How do you know it's a monocycle?" "I looked it up the unicyclopedia."

"...but after all, deep down, isn't there a never-shown-on-screen white Optimus Prime inside each and every one of us?"

I've had good success with those 'ACT humanoid' ones for flyers, too, their post holes fit the semi-standard ones on Transformers and a wide range of Moderoid kits. Though I do admit I find the life advice written on the box to be patronizing. I'll act any way I feel like, thank you very much...

I'm hoping for Comic Con I will get to see what that Unicron Soldier might actually be, and also that Swindle will pop up for order. Beyond that, no actual plans unless they totally surprise me and put up Monstructor orders.

Sort of dumb question, but the teased 'Unicron Soldier" leader seems logically to be a Leige Maximo recolor/retool just due to the way the horns are, but supposedly each Prime isn't getting a remold? I wasn't sure if that was true or just fan-rumor, as I am not in the best shape budget wise and...

I saw it, and honestly, I really liked it. Very true to the original!

This will probably sound stupid but when I saw Nexus part of the reason I was annoyed later was at first I just saw the pictures and somehow missed the caption. I briefly thought they were of modern Raindance and Slamdance and I clicked through several looking to see how the Grandslam component...

In honor of the Muppet Show Reboot tonight, some reruns today... You do realize since Star Wars and the Muppets are both sub-brands of Disney now, 2/3 of this concept is actually possible AND legal.

Man, she twisted a giant screw right THROUGH his heart...no wonder he looks so annoyed...

Odd thought, I wonder if Maximo will result in a run on those grey Starscream thrones BBTS got in, I know in the G2 comics it was purple, what little you could see, but I could see people wanting a spare for him and Starscream both, or at least a 'not the same' alternative. Edit: This thing...

Ok, that actually surprises me...I'd expect Playmates to have been the go-to for this one. They just DID a big Voltron almost the size of Titan Devestator, complete with electronics and everything.

I think it was a combination of engineering (not holding together right at the waist despite it occurring during the era of really solid well established engineering for just that sort of combination), the total incompatibility WITH those other combiners, and some really bizarre choices like...

Don't give them ideas on MegaDinobot compatibility...remember, they DID reissue the 'top part' Grimlock without the Swoop once, so it's not beyond possibility... "Instruments of Destruction... Whose parts don't fit no way... Except to MegaDinobot, I block that memory..." -Battlechargers seen...

Since we don't know exactly how Onslaught combines, it may BE Silverbolt who has to supply the pants. If I was guessing I'd say Bruticus's front and back both hinge up to clamshell around Onslaught, so it may not fit his torso connection. Today's stream apparently mentioned limbs for Nexus...
