    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    That's a better display than I could manage at the time. (SEVEN years ago?! What the CHOP?!) It's absurd the prices that UW stuff has skyrocketed to. Never did get a Megatronia, sadly, but I'm glad (relieved) to have gotten this very pretty Baldigus set. And even at the time I was thinking it...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    Well, usually it just takes some critical thinking and a good degree of maturity and self-awareness, plus a lack of irrational attachment to being right. (Source: is frequently wrong)

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    Or change things so the cab wads up into a cube like for PMOP, freeing up the lower body.

    Dramatic Capture Series

    Budget cutbacks, one clone policy. Times are lean on Cybertron.

    More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

    I forget if I saw a Microman one in a specialty store, or a Pocket Power one, or artwork/photos in the Generations mook, but I think this existed. A new one for the humanoid current cassettebots would be nifty. Wonder if they'll just get around to a standalone Rewind/Eject like what they did...

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    I thought that's where it was all going. Beast Wars. Machine Wars. Beast Machines. Wars Wars. (funny enough, W.A.R.S. would be next.)

    Transformers: Wild King -- new "Wildocking" animal limb combiner series from TakaraTomy

    Ehhhh sure. I do like the regular robot mode a lot; it's just those long boxes thst end in longer claws for the overall combined mode. Maybe there's a way to kludge it and make it less so, since this is so modular anyway. That's the only real thing that stands out as "oh, they did... That". (I...

    More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

    Still hoping to get a WFC scale Autoscout. Wish Dr Wu had done that as part of that one set with the two-rotor drone, instead of the rover. But there's plenty of room to make one now (I wonder what would go with it).

    Transformers: Wild King -- new "Wildocking" animal limb combiner series from TakaraTomy

    It's like that guy you know from high school who got the word "strong" tattooed on his bicep in Japanese. Or, at least, what the tattoo artist told him was "strong". I don't know what to make of this just yet. Internet's still dicey so I've only gotten a few of the pics to load at a time, but...

    I'm gonna save up for that Nemesis. Just gorgeous.

    Dramatic Capture Series

    I'm content to skip the Skywarp set as I'm looking to get the Adventure versions of Shrapnel and gray Bombshell to be my clone drone guys. (I am tempted by the idea of getting a Kickback with opaque plastic wings, if that's what they are.) Even the Thundercracker set I'm now eyeing more for the...

    More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

    Ah, that's right, before the Overkill/Slugfest 2-pack. I think I got those and was underwhelmed by the somewhat loose combination. I wish I could afford to also get the SG and other decos for these, as they're neat little things. If a bit overengineered-seeming, as is typical of 3P stuff. (The...

    More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

    I remember first finding out about the later US and Japanese cassettes (basically everyone after S3), and I was hooked. One reason I liked cassettes going back to a smaller size with WFC and the "they're shields too" bit was that, in theory, they could make more. Official ones have continued to...

    40th anniversary Lio Convoy found!

    Oof. I keep telling myself I'm fine with the derpy original, and it DOES look nice aside from the face and tiny arm blades (I quite like the yellow instead of gold mane), and idk if I can swing another purchase like this in the middle of everything going on now (plus the hassle of flipping this...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    I love how many ways they've explored making this overall design, with different priorities. And all with great, fun results (I can't speak for the Devastation one, but I hear good things on here mostly.)

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    Yes, let's add one more title to the pile! This is an interesting new element of this being a YouTube thing, from this era of YouTube. But annoying. It's been a pretty interesting ride so far, and you can kind of see the patterns. Episode has a few backstory drops, spotlights a new toy or two...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I think I prefer it as an entirely separate character. The use of the Megatron base is just a nice way to get it made.

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

    The 2000s, X: The Space Between, 3 The 20th anniversary was definitely an occasion that Hasbro and Takara capitalized on, and the circumstances were ripe for them to be able to do that. The brand was riding high on a contemporary main line that the kid audience was heavily into, lapsed fans...
