Welcome! Glad you could join!

I hit up Ollie's in Ohio when we visit the in-laws, and there's often some interesting finds. It's a lot less consistent selection than a Walmart or Target, and usually best for catching older figures at a discount after they've been gone from other stores for a while. But it's worth checking...

Are the Stunticons off the table for redecos? There would be a couple more vehicle mold options from that pool. Also, I don't know why, but I could see Cyberverse Shadow Striker from ER Sunstreaker. Not a 1:1 fit, but the proportions look close.

If they aren't functional cameras, I kinda don't understand why they transform like they are? What's the point of preserving the central lens/shutter area if it's just dead space? I would think they could get a much better-proportioned robot than what we are seeing. It really makes me wonder if...

SURPRISE! It will be based on RotF from the SS Wheelie figure...

I think the general idea is that, for non-G1 character updates, close enough counts. In that respect, Pointblank would be the best G1 update to retool into Armada Blurr, as those shoulders are similarly prominent on both characters. But, there is enough different that it would likely not please...

Heh, if you think that's bad, look for the 1985 animated "Solar Adventure". It features a Korean version of Whirl (piloted, so I guess it would be the Dorvack Gazette) on a mission to retrieve the Canon Robo, a Korean version of Reflector, which gets used as a super-powerful laser cannon...

IDK, I have an overly nostalgic fondness for the classic Targetmaster partners. This version of Peacemaker would fit in rather well with them. That said, if Hasbro wanted to release multipacks of the Battlemasters or the Legends Targetmasters in Selects, I would be all for better-articulated...

I saw the case for Road Hauler at our local Walmart on a pallet out for stocking on Monday night, and I tried to play nice and left it alone. Went in the next morning, found Override instead. Thursday, I went in on my lunch break, they had pallets out again, found the deluxe case. Got Cosmos and...

You know what would be an awesome crossover? The Guyver and McGuyver. An ultra-violent hero in alien armor that destroys the Zoanoids with explosives made from household objects.

tec: do not take internally...

From BBTS' product description for the UTA-ZO figure: "UTA-ZO brings Unitrobos to life by combining everyday objects through its transformation song! Press the A button on its headphones to make it sing the song for the separately sold Unitrobo Applelobster. The B button plays the character’s...

I would absolutely buy Energon Towline, Ironhide, and Ratchet in a unified, Towline-based design. If there were other decos, I'd buy them, too. Heck, just reissue the crap out of the Energon Towline mold ala the Vintage Beast Wars line.

Yeah, those were the best! 😉

I liked when combiners used Power Suits...

I wonder if Legacy Knockout could be lightly retooled and redecoed into Quickshadow?

The earlier episodes are mostly Jet and Drill and the Stol family, with guest appearances from various Machine Robos. Later in the series, the other Robos figure more prominently in the stories. But, yeah, the villains are largely underrepresented in the toy line. I think some people, myself...

YMMV, but mine is hanging new product in a different section of the action figure aisle than the established TF section. Both Speedia and Studio series core. If they're setting things ahead of a mod change, it might indicate TFs are moving, or someone is just putting new stuff out on open empty...

Actually, what I found today was Override. No sign of Road Hauler, though the box I saw last night was clearly marked with his name and assortment number. The mod isn't set at all, so I just have to keep going back at random times and searching. Kinda feels like shopping KayBee toys back in the...

I was at our local Walmart tonight, and found a case of what seemed to be just Road Hauler on the stock pallets they drop in the main aisles at night. Couldn't find a worker to open it or verify it was in the system. I'll go back in the morning and see if it got put out. Road Hauler is one I...
