Even in classic G1 there was an undercurrent in the second half that organic+cybertronian=better that the sum of its parts Headmasters, Targetmasters, Powermasters, Pretenders.. Even Actionmasters had the tagline of being "better, faster, more alive" than a normal transformer, so it's not like...

Apparenty some product descriptions for some Transformers "Shine" toys has surfaced. Shine was apparently the codename for the tie-in toys for the Rise videogame that eventually became Reactivate. Dunno if these toys will ever see the light of day but it's for a Prime and Soundwave 2 pack...

Waspinator flew under his own power (after using trees to launch himself into space) Remember there was quite a bit of time in-between the prehistoric earth of Beast Wars and the future of Beast Machines (which was already several centuries ahead of even our own time). Also Cybertron and Earth...

There's really two(.five) problems with Beast Machines 1. It was a sequel to a series the creators were specifically told to not even watch, so everyone's characters radically changes from how they were, often in bizarre or unsatisfying ways. 2. It was also a sequel to G1 but incorporates that...

I'm still surprised Sunstorm is a noshow. Honestly at this point I'd like another crack at Skywarp/Thundercracker after skipping their toys.

Turns out this was the most nothing of burgers. Unrelated franchise with a cover homage to a GI Joe comic. https://m.facebook.com/PowerComicsInc/posts/pfbid08im9ctncV8rFEKA94xQwFADMnsYrHiEgnwbXC6h7DnQcBRWAUPGh3szu5iea8NCnl The wait continues.

Remember when Hasbro gave the Transformers license to a basically unknown company that turned out to be run by a man who was either hugely incompetent or an outright scam artist.

Sounds like the GI Joe Comic, at least, may have landed with Power Comics Inc. https://www.facebook.com/PowerComicsInc/posts/pfbid02PSEgTpDrjz72aD761H4Z3wXrTEXqLGWfSz5UqkYsosbLS4KAG1p3na33v84rnks5l I've never heard of them, so I can't speak to them as a company. Also who knows if they're also...

You'll get one, but it's going to have RotB's Wheeljack's head.

Primacon would be like a deluxe, if not a core class, given how big he was compared to Grimlock.

Looks good, but I unfortunately do not have room for redecos of titans I already own. I don't even have room for new mold titans (Sorry $100 Metroplex, it was not to be). I have no idea where I'm putting the Ark and Nemesis already. Will suck on missing out on a micromaster, but outside of...

Tarantulas was also supposed to be related to Jhiaxus' G2 Cybertronian Empire (the Unicron spawn insult was just that, an insult.) but that also didn't make it into the show.

It's a decent deco, and the headsculpt is great (though I'm not sure about goign with toy accuracy over show accuracy here) but the vehicle mode is just wrong all around and the bot mode tries. It tries SO hard but I'm not sure it gets there. I dunno; I don't have an especial fondness for RiD...

It's set in a generic G1 universe; so you have stuff like Starscream's ghost from the G1 toon, but also stuff like Primus from the G1 comic. It is not explicitly set in any particular version of G1 other than it's own.

I'll be honest, $100 is tempting; but the fact I'll need an upgrade kit and also that I'd have to find some place to put him is a bit of a downer. Still, having the four colony world leaders would be cool.

Because "Prime" is a far more marketable Transformer name in the US.

It's still really funny that we have no official confirmation on what the hell these actually are. They're probably from the High Moon videogame, but who knows for sure!

BBTS has Legacy Metroplex on sale for a solid hundred. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/203020

Also, Hasbro released pictures of most of Volcanicus (they're using two Grimlocks for legs) https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/02/22/transformers-legacy-core-dinobots-volcanicus-official-in-hand-images-comments-476174 He actually doesn't look as bad as I thought he would. Shame that comes at the...

It wasn't really anything to write home about, but given it had to be a trailer, base and a pair of pants AND incorporate an auto-transforming gimmick, it's not surprising the base mode is kinda forgettable. Hopefully they can do something good now that they don't have to account for a bunch of...
