I'd wager it's a bit of both, as companies are typically trying to set themselves apart while staying within the scope of "what's working now". So more a continuum than an either/or. But that would be an interesting discussion. I'm just usually not paying attention to much more than...

"Black is just cooler, man, you babies with your kiddie baby toys just wouldn't get it." Ah well. I don't even necessarily disagree; even outside the edginess there is a sophistication and elegance to a black box with understated colors. See it all the time outside toys. And that pendulum has...

Chests like that do tend to sell lots of calendars.

Also just the notion of making a Transformer out of that sort of appliance. Good times.

Someday, Botbots, someday...

It does seem to be a "pendulum swinging" situation with them and even Mattel, whose WWE line has occasionally cycled back to lighter-colored cards. Their Cars line too, I think? They had a long run on red cards, then light gray... It's just refreshing after a period of solid, often dark, colors...

These names swing between bland and bad. And nothing that even leverages or puns on "Battersea"? Here's hoping this is a Metroplex pretool or something.

It's nifty, but I don't need it at all and I'm glad for that. But I'd love to see a retool of this into someone else.

It's this.

I wish they'd include both heads or had a swappable masked/unmasked face, but oh well. The color scheme I really want to see is the Silver Knight one, with some chromed bits. But of course there's really no reason to bother making one. Unless they need to pad out the price point and feel like...

There's a first time for everything. Except unseeing this, perhaps.

I think the added articulation is my favorite thing about it. Did see that on Shopee (the set's about twice what Achai's head alone goes for?) but idk how flipping half that set would go.

Gizmoboy! Look over there, quick! ... Damn it, I CAN'T reach into my phone and grab things

Aka the BLAMmoth.

I couldn't decide, so have both. Just pretend I'm Hastak making Soundwaves.

Definitely. Takara's is not ugly (the big name text looks a bit cluttered, but at least it's not some odd serif font you'd see on a term paper). But it could be for any line (I'm struck by how similar this is to the packaging for Adventure, which I quite prefer)... and if there were a line it...

Yeah, oof, you're not kidding. That whole era and how it's officially catalogued on the wiki confuses me to no end. (It seems simpler to just call everything adjectiveless Transformers rather than inconsistently lump them under "yellow card = HFTD/RTS", but in practice I find it easier to do the...

It's tough when it's not your first language.

I tend to follow these and keep an eye out as alt heads is one of the 3P/upgrade things I'm always most on board for. They're just maddeningly expensive for what they are. Currently have my eye on a Terminus-ish head I can put on my old Miner Megs custom so he can hang out with the Legacy...

Guess it just looks a bit neater and he doesn't end up with a semi literal dump truck ass. That's one of my concerns with the Devy. That movie headsculpt for Op is great. I've been looking at the one Achai offers but idk how easily those install since the base mold has to have those movable...
