    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    I managed to find a Netflix Bee, but I may get a retro Bee and paint one up as Red Bumblebee.

    Transformers Collaborative series

    There's also that Fox Sports Football robot. Maybe they start with that and work out a suitable altmode? Kinda like the Goodyear blimp or actual football ideas, myself.

    Transformers Collaborative series

    I would put my money on the '89 Batmobile, just because of the 80's property synergy. However, don't forget the '66 Batmobile. It's nearly as iconic and fondly remembered, and could provide some interesting body pieces to integrate into a robot mode.

    Transformers Collaborative series

    So, Triple-T Kup just hit my Pile of Loot at BBTS, and I'm pretty excited for this one. I had Sgt Slaughter and the Triple-T when I was a kid, and so this is the first GI Joe x TF crossover I've splurged and paid full price for. (Got HISS Megatron and AWE Striker Bumblebee on deep clearance...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Oh, I absolutely agree (though I have gotten behind on actually reading the issues I've been collecting, i did manage to get through the first arc), the story is better-written for sure, and they do seem to remember who all these characters are, but the action sequences are violent and...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    The cliff(jumper)s notes, not super spoilery, version of the comics is: Energon is what keeps the Cybertronians going, and there's not a lot of it readily available. Teletran can reassemble them seemingly from random spare parts, but requires Energon to do so. Ratchet can also reassemble his...

    DiCFormers: Less Than Meets The Eye?

    I like the idea, in concept, of a "what if DiC had continued the G1 cartoon?". If GI Joe is anything to go by, it would have certainly had a different feel from the Sunbow seasons. I would imagine there would be at least one anti-drug episode, as that seemed to be a staple of DiC shows at the...

    Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    I think it's a Japanese grammar thing? The katakana for "kya" in "carry" becomes "gya" with the addition of the dakuten ("), probably due to the sounds its following? (It has been many years since I actually studied Japanese) Machine Robo has the Jet Garry and Machine Robo Rescue had Siren...

    Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Missing Link? Is this The Wand of Gamelon?

    I didn't buy a lot of mainline Prime stuff, but I can confirm the Cyberverse Commander figures had clear plastic bits to interact with the light up functions on a couple of the vehicles.

    Transformers x Hot Wheels images leaked!

    The only real issue I have is that these are the "Track Fleet" series, which is not as widely available as the "Super Rigs" that are carried at almost every Walmart and Target around. Otherwise, they're kind of cool little bits of merch!

    Customs Authentics Optimus Primal custom

    I want to try an albino deco, based on a Rankin-Bass movie called "The Ivory Ape", with maybe magenta robot accents. Not sure how it will come out, but it would be visually distinct from the original.

    G.I. Joe thread - Yo Jo June 2026: Hooded Cobra Commander and others

    I have had preorders for blonde Cover Girl and Comic BAT in since BBTS listed them early way back when; put in a preorder for the Extensive Enterprises twins today. Classified figures look cool, but I grew up on o-ring Joes, and I'm excited to see what other figures Super7 has in store. (Hoping...

    Japanese Transformers News

    Tessho Genda just has one of those voices that works for Convoy. I grew up with Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime, and Genda's Convoy still sounds right! (Incidentally, I still think we need a City Hunter/Transformers crossover with Optimus and Umibouzu teamed up!)

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    The app is not ideal, no. The way I see it, it can give a false negative, but if it brings up a positive in-store hit, there is probably something there to look for (when I found Lockdown, it said they had Filch as well, but no dice). We have 4 major and 4 minor Walmarts within a 45-ish mile...
