I don't really mind that aspect of T30 Skids, but I do have an odd fondness for Legacy Skids' huge chonky boots. Even from the first reveal photos that made a strong impression.

I agree mainly with the notion that it's more a matter of the toy design sensibilities from the time vs the actual design itself. Of course I'm glad to have BOTH a blocky G1 style Skids and the more lithe, horribly brweaponed Milne art style Skids. But there's so much spring-loaded hoopla and...

Pretty sure "Optimus with Megatron arm/cannon" is going to be way up there. Even a KO of SS86 Op is getting in on that action. Shredhead and Ballpoint have also got to be on that list. The former is even a fairly easy Skids rework.

(cue me squinting at the little G2 name tag with sigil, totally missing the giant letters) Ahhh. It's too hot today.

Okay, that's as far as that goes in this thread, please. I don't even necessarily disagree, and it's difficult to decouple this flood of crap from the pipe, but we have to start somewhere.

This was part of our April Fool's gag a while back, but maybe now is finally the time for Plastic Free Transformers.

I mean, if kids don't need 30 dolls...

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/05/business/barbie-mattel-toy-tariffs-price-hike This is Mattel, but I'd be surprised if this weren't indicative of how similar big ships like Hasbro would have to respond to this situation.

Very nice. Skipped the first SS86 release, would gladly get this. (Would also love an ehobby Dion and Barrelroller, even though we got a War Dawn Dion.)

It didn't take long for flashers to infiltrate this children's cartoon

In photos she looks very cool, but at the moment I can't look at her and not wish for an updated Nautica instead.

What did you do with the thighs? I just unscrewed the lower legs, swapped the thighs, and put the lower legs back on. I need to check whether the forearms on mine were a problem. And just to see this again, what a gorgeous release that really captures the "G1 projected onto non-G1 and it's...

I wish I'd managed to stock up on those. Mainly the feet, because they complete the leg shape much better and improve the proportions. The existing hand pieces are fine as hands -- I have no real need for articulated fingers, on these.

Fair enough, we can agree to disagree. Between the giving up on engineering to go for partsforming (based on what little I've seen) and the aforementioned random lion heads, it's just not for me. Although I did love the vibe of King Exkaiser being a little Hot Rod-ish car that combines with the...

Wait, how did you get a copy of my ultra gritty Not For Stupid Kids reboot movie fanfics

I'm sure SOMEONE has to have written a G1 Thrust one.

And of course...

I get that, but narratively the core concept is a crossover, a meeting of two worlds. And I think that helps distinguish it from the usual combiner archetype we've seen almost every other time. Although hey, there could very well be a torso bot native to that planet (I have not been following...

I think it'd make sense to keep the vehicle core + animal limbs thing going. But there are so many options. Vehicle main bodies who are the "main" brand icons you can expect: Starscream, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Jazz, Shockwave, Hot Rod And varying, mixed-release clusters of animals. All new...
