Though the side-tusk things do make it look like he's anime-crying from some angles. Meanwhile...

Thank you, I never saw the detail, before. In those frames you can see the cars and planes on the back of the legs but Bruticus has solid legs from the knee down. I also realized since Onslaught uses the truck guns on his own and Bruticus's back both, that the 'frame' parts are actually rather...

Well, assuming the 'full' art that was shown today is accurate (and we know already that it often isn't, the "Star Convoy/PowerMaster Optimus Prime hybrid statue in the art doesn't so far actually exist) then Bruticus IS a different use of the frame system, where Brawl and Swindle are on the...

"And when they go wild, ALL the Matrices show!!!" "Ok, that's it, I don't CARE what sort of Utopian World results in your post-war setting, Wreck-Gar and Swindle are never allowed to work together again." "And then things get REALLY crazy when the Kotobukiya girls show up!" "-CUT!!!!"

Re: 5mm pegs, "sort of"? Most of their pegs and joints definitely are in that range, but they're oddly shaped, so they don't plug in easily. It was a spare Z-builder bit I tried to modify as an adapter to attach an Animated axe to HasLab Optimus, but I had to sand the tapered end quite a bit and...

If the universe is half dead, half alive, blame Dr. Frankenstein. Or possibly Walt Disney, depending on who you ask.

The trouble is, there's no such thing as infinite growth. There's a finite amount of expansion possible, there's no way around that. Collaborations are just like symbiosis in natural systems, a way to skirt that rule by cooperatively expanding into each other's resources by sharing them to...

Am I the only one who is reminded of the Zoids Z-Builders that formed around these small cube-cores? I have a ton of them, and they look so similar in some cases!

The bird is NOT the word, it is, in fact, a hand gesture. A hand gesture that can only be made correctly if the hand itself is made out of a dinosaur, which makes dealing with the aftermath of the Report very tricky depending on just what the Report contains. Or so I understand, anyway, I...

I wonder if SkyByte will have a red repaint now.

I think the big problem is, if a brand operates entirely on nostalgia and has no NEW fans coming, in, it's basically limiting it's own lifespan as a product line, and quite a few 'toy' companies are nowadays just nostalgia companies. That's part of why I never got the frustration some have over...

It does make sense, though, to have something like a unifying scale. A lot of other makers are copying the general six inch frame of reference, to one extent or another, same as MEGO used to be the 'gold' eight inch standard of a different era, and still rules in some collectors circles to the...

And it was that picture that made the puppy's brain snap, and he went to live with the honey bees... And in honor of the 'Robotech' stuff being teased at Comic Con (which makes me wonder if that's why the Moderoid Mospeda kit has been delayed so many times...)

Just a semi-copy from the other thread to get this in the right spot. There is so much about this toy that's bizarre. The head and arms are symmetrical, till you get to the hands, but the paint and lower-arm sculpts make for a great TM2 asymmetry illusion even though they aren't. The upper...

Oops. We went from toy design, to elbows, to shark wheels...

That's another thing with Wheel-Byte, the actual wheels! They're painted AND metal pinned, free-rolling! He rolls better than quite a few actual CAR bots nowadays.

"If you're Happy and you Know It clap your...uh...ok, ok, no worries...just got to think about this...." There is so much about this toy that's bizarre, the way the arms are built makes for a great TM2 asymmetry even though anything behind the wrist ISN'T, it's just mold-mirrored. The upper...

Depending on what the Junkion has been watching, "Scrappy Slagging Spastic BotBot BloodyBooger The Second", function: Insult Comic. Repeating his own name causes Hasbro executives to have to check British English dictionaries to be sure they won't be sued.

re: Optimus/Grimlock, it certainly has been tried, for a long while now, but doesn't get traction. I once when Toys R Us existed got a freebie mini-block kit that made a small Grimlock with a tiny Op to ride it. I still have it too, though the mini-Optimus gets more use from my nephew who has...

"Shale", which can refer to corrosion and rusting on metal, and also rock where you can find oil? I'm not familiar with the character, but if it has a club, Shale could smash someone with their shillelagh...'fracking' the other Dinos call the attack, though no one knows why...
