This is a big reason why I was happy to jump into Kre-O Microchangers AND Botbots. Well, this AND the general lack of a significant rarity tier situation. (Botbots would sometimes have a character only be in one of the multipacks, but there was no truly random packing that would have just made...

The collaborative arm of the contemporary Transformers line keeps flexing its muscle, with Takara's Synergenex kicking things into a new gear. One of the latest offerings has finally gone up for preorder for US-based fans. Hasbro Pulse, Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore all have preorders...

Snuggletooth joins Slammoth as a name I need to see in Transformers soon. Would've been perfect for Botbots.

Cat tax!

Clearly Unicron is a Chris McFeely fan.

Absolutely. This was very refreshing. I've always loved her voice -- she's on a list of people I'd listen read the phone book -- but she's tended to coast quite a bit and so I wasn't sure what to expect. The Elita character is also quite engaging in this, as she's a fully realized person with...

It was pretty clearly a clunky way of saying "would you mind not putting that on me right now, I'm trying to keep us from dying".

Even the alternate name is a "this is what he is", lol.

Three BWAAAAdies Evolution

The latest news from the Product Does Not Convert corner of Transformersdom involves an upcoming batch of Blokees, the blind-boxed, assembly-required model kit-type representations of our favorite characters from Generation One (and actually Transformers One) and the live-action movies. The...

Oh, no, no, this would be a facetiously colored gorilla. There's a sentence I never thought I'd say.

And then he can hang out with a red and blue Optimus Primal with a sky blue chest...

Yeah, even Hot Rod kind of skirts that by being a gorgeous futuristic monstrosity rather than an Earth car that the term would be a more textbook match for. I don't mind the beetle idea. And to head off fan whining about "his name isn't Beetle wah", just paint the beetle up like a bee so it...

Damn, they even took being Poochie from Hot Rod to give to Optimus. At the time I did wonder if they could use the Seed to revive Cybertron somehow. Then when Quintessa became a thing I wondered if she could contribute to that. Nope! Why am I not surprised that fanservice won the day again...

I like a lot about this. I should have gone for something similar (a harder pivot) rather than trying to rehab ROTB and keep as much from it as I could. Although I tend to be of the mind that Charlie should get to ride off into the sunset, this handles re-involving her fairly well (and who am I...

Hopefully the next one also ditches the formula, because there are better formulas. And doesn't try to ape his style anymore (given how tricky it can be to get down), but gets someone with their own. (Or, I guess, bring in other styles and motifs in general.) Part of why Bumblebee was so...

I was saying Boo-urns I loved the name Hot Rod when I first watched the movie as a kid. Had no familiarity with the hot rod genre of cars beyond the term referring to a car, and somehow never connected it to Rowdy Roddy Piper who'd used the name at the time and that I had heard of. But "Hot...

Would any of you be interested in adding to the Personal Canon thread? :)

The setup for the 2007 movie was a good one, I think. One central character, a number of subplots that each contribute something toward discovering this alien arrival/threat. The execution fumbled them some, but the idea was solid -- soldiers discover unstoppable humanoid war-weapons and learn...

Or just Hot Rod Prime; Prime can be a title (as it ended up anyway). In terms of design: I do want to keep the fiery space Winnebago. Maybe change the front a little bit so it's not still basically Hot Rod under a camper shell. This can lead to a slightly different robot mode, maybe one where...
