    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    It seems like, with regards to G1 at least, there needs to be that "crashed on earth and lay dormant for millennia" that Beast Wars can neatly slot into to truly be a G1 continuity, as all the different variations are still basically telling the same story with Beast Wars/Beast Machines as an...

    They should do Black, Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue... a whole Force of Lion Convoys!

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Presumably, someone must have sorted out rights somehow, since Discotek released the whole series in their SD on BD line. Assuming they actually licensed it, I'll have to go check the case and see what it says...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Dog Man is a book series by Dav Pilkey, who also wrote the Captain Underpants series. They seem to be popular with the elementary school crowd. (I prefer Dav's earlier works, "Kat Kong" and "Dogzilla" myself)

    Old Meme Music You Still Like Unironically

    Not really a meme, but this musical riff always brings a smile to my face and a reminder of more innocent(?) times...

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    Got Audited today, so there's that (and it wasn't good). But, at one point, one of my assistants asked if they should wait until the auditor was gone to do an inventory adjustment or do it now. I told them Do It Now. ...and then I looked up the old ADV Films "Do It Now" ad, and felt a nice wave...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I liked them, myself, though I wish we'd gotten a Waverider to finish the Autobot set. I even liked their Targetmaster modes (but then, I would. Never met a Targetmaster I didn't like.). My only quibble is, instead of the Prime emblems, I wish the inner robots sported the heads of the original...

    Anime

    So, has anyone here watched Lightspeed Electroid Albegas? I recently introduced Haywire3 to Voltron, and we have the Lion Force And Vehicle Force set that we are watching through, but I remembered that there was a third Voltron that didn't quite make it, from a show called Albegas. Lo and...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I had forgotten about the Energon Monster switcheroo, and having the open slot in Deluxe does somewhat explain the why of it, but I will still maintain that filling that slot with Skullgrin was a misstep. Having the Pretenders planned out at the Core size should have happened during the design...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    This was discussed elsewhere (maybe earlier in this thread?), but the decision to move Skullgrin to Deluxe was not a great one. Distribution woes aside, Iguanus was a decent figure, and Bomb Burst is likewise full of personality. But then Skullgrin comes out in Deluxe and breaks the cohesiveness...

    Lego and other brick toys

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    My town's Walmart is clearancing out a lot of stuff, I literally just picked up an Armada Megatron for $20. Might be worth checking any nearby Walmarts (and check the price with the app in store mode, ours had them tagged at $30), especially if they have an inventory or remodel coming up. They...

    Studio Series discussion

    Lots of possibilities there, and the price is right... I always said, back when the movie lines were 50% Camaro Bumblebee by volume, if Hasbro had to fill the lines with Bumblebees due to retailer demand, at least make them interesting: "Street Prowl" Bumblebee in a police deco "Silver Streak"...

    I will always, ALWAYS be down for new versions of Targetmaster Blurr (and Hot Rod and Kup to go with him)!

    Gobots and Machine Robo News & Discussion

    From the waist up, I would agree. The leg designs seem more movie-style to me, though. The digitigrade-looking legs on vehicle transformers (Beast Wars is another story) is something I don't remember seeing before the movie lines. But, again, just my opinion and personal taste.
