"Autobot small Headmasters! You know, them and Siren."
"What, another one? Are you feeling okay?"
...come to think of it, I miss those box sets they did for this line. Like a capsule you buy all in one go. And they had some neat choices for what to go in there!
"Let's do a whole line where they're all Headmasters!"
"Cool, we can even throw in characters who were next on the to-update list. Targetmasters, Monsterbots, Galvatron... Just give 'em the gimmick too. Headmaster them up! Anyway, what wave do we put Nightbeat, Minerva, and Hosehead in?"...
I'm downright baffled that neither company ever saw fit to revisit the mold and do exactly this. He was dried vomit because realism then metallic green because Takara got that powerful new blend then no more using that mold ever.
This Galvatron mold was always wonky (fool! Galvatron can be any degree of wonkiness he wishes!). I remember leaked item pics showing up that year and every single photograph made it difficult to get a sense of the bulk or proportions or look, even the eventual decent pictures closer to release...
I'd rather a Leader, in the "that's a huge contemporary era Leader" style of the Dinobots. But I get it.
That's a nifty mold. I wish we could get it in better colors (I like how saturated the United one is, but the colors themselves a bit less).
Peekaboo!
The problem is there's not nearly enough substance to fill out those 13-episode arcs. The last one is best, and I'm sure the fourth is fondly remembered for the Starscream stuff (although "dramatic 5-part saga" immediately makes me look for the remote, and I liked Green With Evil as a...
I'm one of those who moved out to the periphery of, well, all of the Unicron Trilogy shows after the first handful of Armada. Did absolutely nothing to diminish the love I have for the era and its toys, but I was content to miss out on the "following the shows" experience. I mostly enjoyed fan...
It was a fascinating in-between state. Reboots were possible and increasingly familiar, but not quite the norm yet, with all that implies. The Ultimate universe in Marvel had been going for a short while but was still kind of this novel, exciting, unpredictable experiment. Dreamwave's G1 was...
I'd be very surprised if it WERE meant to be taken literally. I mean, nice to get official word on something or whatever (and really I love these mook publications so much I wish I had the energy to learn the language and dive in), but this is yet another case of fans making a Matrix out of a...
Alligators is just the neighbor's Chihuahua. You know how they get. "No, Alligators, stop chewing on that person's arm right now. I mean it, Alligators. Spit that out, you don't know where that's been."
Of these two that's the one I'm getting, may wait on a different Wheelie.
Which is odd because I'm also eyeing the Brawn over the Seaspray (although it's closer between those two).
You should get Outback.
Yeah, I didn't think I'd have a toy/cartoon preference either way for Wheelie, but most of my exposure to the character IS the Movie and season 3. And the way they did the eyes, especially in this deco, does that face no favors. (I kinda felt the same "I can buy either...
That was tempting, as I feel somewhat pleasantly surprised by how satisfying Star Convoy turned out to be. But I keep going back to how that doesn't mean it really needed to be more than a Commander class set.
Still, I can totally see it being a strong contender here.
That's probably still going to happen. I mean, before Soundwave Again I might have thought not, but who knows anymore. Even if this was Soundwave's entry into SS86, there's any number of workarounds for them to redo Galvatron despite already being done in SS86.
I'm just lucky that I managed to...
