    HasLab 2025: Liokaiser

    Fellbat would've been fine. Or they could've gone into the Japanesey direction they went with the cassette reissues and used Herubatto. Or Herubat. Maybe he'll be British in shows from now on.

    I want a new Unicron Trilogy. Not reissues thereof, but a new decidedly non-G1 take that they commit to for a while. Let the G1-inspired stuff and the Movie stuff run, nothing needs to stop that. But give me another line that's just free to be more, to innovate more broadly. Keep a few things...

    I should have specified TM2 Cybershark, heh. But yeah, for all those valid flaws I am oddly fond of that color scheme. Green, blue, silver, orange highlights, and that green face... It shouldn't work, and doesn't, but I like it and figure some changes in color distribution would go a long way...

    I don't disagree with any of that, but I do think mountains have been made out of molehills (well, molehills that could have been... Phrased better?) for some of it. And I'll leave it at that. It's entirely your right to read it that way, and the idea of letting things be available to later...

    Yeah, a good few updates are well worth seeing. Override was a low bar to clear, though. But I'm only holding back on Hot Shot and Starscream to wait for redecos I like better, which is tough because the molds look so fun. I'd like to say the same for Animated Bee, but I'm passing on that mold...

    I'll bite if the price is right and the size is comparable. I'll feel better about this than Deathsaurus and his easy chair.

    He already looks very hollow in that robot mode picture. Like not even the best foot forward marketing render could hide it. Nevertheless, he seems substantial and better-executed than the T30. I hope this one gets a Cybershark redeco... As one of the four people who preferred that look.

    Thundercracker was ... Scourge? ... by this point I think. But the Blitzwing thing. Yeah, definitely. Keep the Octane and Trpticon pairing, but let Blitzwing have his Decepticon exile arc. Let him be known for his enemies.

    Bruh, you could've just said that to begin with. Would have at least saved us a speculation-off, anyway. Ah, I miss Mairghread Scott on Transformers. yeah but check out my g1 reboot bro it's totally mature and modern, like they're all cursing and shooting robot sized bullets at each other, none...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Much of the stress of toyhax comes from the cost (and the heavy sighing over just not getting their design angle sometimes, leading to a handful of unused bits that could have given their sheet space for something else). The actual application tends to be a breeze, with the labels and adhesive...

    Would love that for Wheelie, or Grimlock since they dumbed him down big in s3. Imagine a series called "Survival Lessons With Wheelie" or "Grimlock, No!" Or a bunch of rhyming PSA shorts. "Before crossing, look both ways, Or be reduced to crimson paste!"

    I think Hot Rod does declare that they have to go after Unicron and the Matrix and it'll solve everything, justifying that with "I just have this feeling". Not sure if I recall any particular confidence issues within the movie. I do agree that Magnus is fairly competent (more so than fan...

    I can picture this happening, but I think it's far more likely that they had Optimus in mind from the get-go. Especially since he was going to be front and center for Aligned and particularly Prime, the show that would supposedly explore "what it means to be a Prime".

    I think the slow burn might have worked if there was at least some clear progression. (Also what I'd envisioned isn't THAT slow a burn, just not wrapping everything up neatly by the end of FFOD.) As opposed to the Aesop Amnesia that seemed to plague S3 as written. But then again, this was on...

    I've tended to use "scramble-type", myself (and I'm sure I just picked that up from others hereabouts). When first encountering it I just assumed it referred to "the type of combiner featured in 'Scramble City' ". The funny thing is there seems to be much less moping in FFOD than later in the...

    I'm sure that would HELP, but nothing's going to un-trauma that trauma. Audiences might have warmed to him more, or more quickly, but the damage is done. It's early days for the brand, so you don't quite have the comparative older worldview or detachment of a BW viewer meeting Primal. Older...
