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

    (continued) The Japanese counterpart to Classics and Universe 2.0, Hentai Henkie Henkei! Henkei! Transformers continued the Japanese packaging vibe that had largely been sustained in previous lines. The line mostly kept to its US counterparts' format, sticking to Deluxes and Voyagers (some...

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

    The 2000s, 5: Classic Hasbro The whole time the Unicron Trilogy was rolling (and indeed before, as a pervasive rumbling underneath), there was talk of a live-action movie being developed. This undertaking missed the 20th anniversary mark, but eventually got some momentum under it and a calendar...

    Now if we could just get Hasbro to MAKE one again... The POTP/Selects one was so long ago now, and the SS86 Jazz mold is right there.

    I wouldn't say it was the tail end of that era. That's still happening five years [oh my GODDDD] later. More like he came out toward the end of a LINE, at which point the budget mojo had already been worked. I mean, Sureshot has the benefit of being (mostly? entirely? they've done such wild...

    Adding "universally" to it kind of doomed it.

    Redone Crosshairs can be in a 2-pack with redone Crankcase or Windsweeper. Put them in a line with a new Side Burn and Minerva and Strongarm. Compromises to fudge an nth retool out of a mold can be rough. Sometimes things work out and it's a Devcon with enough new parts to capture the character...

    I really wish I'd found a way to get those AOE dino mold reuses. :(

    I don't disagree, but I could absolutely not care less. Call it Tim; that's concise as hell. Just release it.

    I think that's less the wiki and more people being people, a bad game of telephone.

    I'm very curious about this one, as modern articulation can change up the only real weakness of the original, which was the awkward posing of the lanky legs. Some of it will remain just because some of the proportions are more or less the same, but the ankles will be a big help in at least...

    And then on top of that every third Transformer he gets has two left hands. And an incomplete var mode.

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    To be fair, I would like to be informed of the possibility so I can remember to try and take some care. Some detail would be appreciated, of course, rather than some vague mention of it. Because I'm a moron who also can't afford to replace things, I'd rather avoid creating a need to do so. I...

    There is mention of a truce, and Grimlock may be putting that and some at risk by doing this, so there may be more to it than just capricious abandonment.

    More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

    That's what I figured it was, but I began to wonder if for some reason it was a homicidal manatee or something.

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    Yeah, if there was ever a show for RID2015's scan-into-a-game gimmick, this would be it. (I will also keep making noises about wanting more more more 5mm accessories, which fits this show so stinkin' well.) I originally wrote "if there was ever a TIME", but replaced that because I'm realizing...
