    Hasbro "Transformers Timelines" comic packs

    I figured mine would be this Japanese theme, but it being these same four every time is holding it back for me. I may reevaluate some things if I get that Geese Howard hakama Megatron and an armored horse ninja Bumblebee. They should do a very cheap box set of all 4 characters... And it's...

    The reception to the Origins stuff was funny, Bee in particular. At least one dude here was "aha I called it when they announced Siege, they'd make this Cybertronian Bumblebee!" Sure, Jan. Studio Series was the kind of line that could only have happened when it did. Enough separation from the...

    Combiner Wars was kind of amazing for what it was. The five loaves and two fish of toylines, it squeezed a ton of uses out of each mold (iirc they had to show a plan for maxing out the costs so they'd get the line greenlit), some of which weren't necessarily the best use of the molds but it...

    No, I agree there was a sort of lateral move for Waspinator. Which I guess is a compliment to the Kingdom design. Does some unexpected things but is overall neat. The Rhinox was a bit less effective, even after Takara painted it up all pretty for BW Again?!. (I wish Takara's Dinobot were packed...

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    Well, in a single-player game competing against other singles. Join and win thrice as many games, or all join the same game each time where only one can win anyway (in their first game against Starscream, Op had to sacrifice so Bee could win). Teamwork could help make sure one of their three won...

    Yeah this bothered me at the time, and is kind of undermining my memories of then. It was an awkward time when you could kind of notice the stuff they were working through, like when no one says anything after the factory dad works at closes but your birthday gift this year is a toothbrush. I...

    That's fair. I was referring mainly to T30 having been "the IDW toyline" at the time thanks to the Dark Cybertron tie-in; it was at the time the highest level of direct representation the comics had had in the toyline. A slew of Dark Cyb era looks, all in one go. These days we get the occasional...

    I think a Sleep Mode Prime was in one of the leaks, although I don't keep up with those and have no idea what's changed, if anything. Idk if might be in the anniversary capsule. Irrespective of anything else about it, I am still reeling a bit regarding the price. But I don't know about...

    I'd forgotten until now, but I actually did get the Toyhax stickers for it, and it's been a while but I think I did notice that. Made some cuts where I could, and just didn't use the entire sheet (I find myself doing that more and more since they started doing windshield stickers, sadly). It's...

    I have no interest in an argument either, so I will simply explain myself being "very defensive" (I disagree with the label, but if accepting it means you'll listen, sure): I questioned the need for that full rebuttal which [1] stated an opinion but also [2] minimized the opinions of people you...

    That yellow-gold looks REALLY good on that boat. In a different line with a different budget some more white to break up the pink in altmode would be appreciated, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how nice that looks. That jet is still my favorite take on the character. Terrible stickers aside...

    T30 felt very gratifying but it hasn't all aged well; a lot of it's worth a do-over. And to this day we're still kinda missing some of it... if and when this team gets around to Aileron, Arcee, Nickel, Velocity, MTMTE Rodimus, Megatron, it'll be great. They've done some great takes on...

    People can like what they like without being simps. People can not like what they don't like without being haters. Did anyone you're responding to actually post any of those strawmen you're tilting at? Why are you lashing out like any of this was a personal slight against people who did like...

    I'm not the target audience for this either as frankly I'm burnt out on this particular visual at this point. The first time it was an interesting and fresh idea, and I dug how there were other narrative effects beyond just the shocking visual. Nice writing. But then everyone and their mother...

    I hope Megatron's robot mode has a topknot and he looks like he's wearing a hakama and kimono. Or just a hakama and a fairly lean upper body. And that this gets a redeco later on as Bludgeon or Banzai-Tron.

    This is probably going to help sell it to at least a few. I really like that brightly colored everything. Although for Skybound it needs a crapton of lines and shading to get that gritty vibe across. That price for no trailer is absurd. And here I thought the Armada Nemesis Prime was steep.

    Red Bull Optimus Prime is intriguing, especially for turning into so much at once. That Starscream is okay. But sigh, they actually made a samurai-themed retool of this mold and it has nothing to do with BM Silverbolt. Would much rather have new characters, but them's the breaks with this line.

    This made it look like a rare instance where he's looking through the cannon like the scope it used to turn into. This also made me unable to see anything but this.
