While you're not wrong, and I hope that we DO see more iterations of the VW classic Bee mold, I still think it's wise not to count on a future 'corrrect' release when judging whether to buy the 4-pack Goldbug. Things happen, stuff gets unreleased, even when it seems like a sure thing...

Trouble with the VW mold is, even after Wal-Mart's exclusivity ends, there's still a need to license it from VW. I'm not sure I would bank on the VW returning...

Or, IDW Minerva is basically this. The end result is the same, but it seems more likely that IDW were given upcoming designs to use for Minerva (and Knockout) in the Wreckers mini, than Hasbro using the comic as their primary source material. Either way, not a Headmaster, and that's okay!

She looks good in Bot mode, car mode is...serviceable. Looks like something from the more sci-fi parts of later G1 or the AEC years. I know Minerva is 'supposed to be' a Headmaster, but at the end of Masterforce, her Transtector was supposed to take on a life of its own, this figure could...

Ahem, yes, Sixgun is the one I have. I actually need to get a Sixshot in this scale, because there is a distinct lack of ninja consulting in this city.

Yeah, the main reason Fort Max was even on the table was Rebirth Cerebros. I agree, Metroplex would fit this layout way better. Plus, he's kind of Trypticon's nemesis, and I have Sixshot, Slammer, and Windblade, so Metroplex would be all-around my first choice.

Just got this little guy, Bandit, from the Convertors line, for Father's Day. If you look close in the layout above, I had another one on the second Thruster, next to Core Soundwave. Plus a third one not shown, and a roulette wheel and pinball machine. At this point, maybe I should consider a...

Thank you! Due to time and space constraints, it's only a fraction of the figures I have in roughly that scale, but I would need almost my whole basement and many days to get them all set up. My only regret is I didn't get an Autobot Titan, either Metroplex or Fort Max, back when I had the...

Thanks! I had to take advantage of a weekend when the wife and kid were away so I could invade the living room. I tried to get a lot of fun little groupings in there, and also representations of as many eras as I could. Still left lots out, though. It does remind me which figures need updates...

The current Core class figures work really well with older playsets. From left to right, we have a Renegade Thruster, Trypticon, Thruster, Diarobo gas station base, Guardian Command Center, Machine Robo Battle Base, Command Center, Omega Supreme, Androform Andro-base, and Machine Robo Rescue...

Burger-Bulldozer is pretty out there, too... I'm not sure they're meant to be ghosts? I think Machine Robo Rescue had some non-toy villains that seemed to exist just to cause chaos and destruction (and possibly even Confusion and Delay!), and the baddie kind of has a similar look? Also, the...

A little late to the party, but if there are any fans of the Hanna Barbera Godzilla series, the official Godzilla channel on YouTube has been posting episodes in 3 parts. They have all/almost all of season 1 up, and they are starting on season 2. The last part of the first episode, Calico...

So these just showed up on BBTS: UNITROBORN Supposedly part of the Machine Robo universe. There are some...interesting combinations, to say the least. I'll be interested to get my hands on a couple and see what they are like.

Well, Iron Man was sort of taken...

It's like this: I have a slightly better chance of getting all my favorite Transformers in the Legends/Core scale to interact with my Gobot collection than getting all my favorite Gobots in Deluxe scale to go with my Transformer collection. If Hasbro would really fill the Core scale with a...

Truth, but, in all fairness, some of Hasbro's reveals have happened after the figures hit retail anyway...

May as well throw in some classic Gobots, too, if you have them!

I thought Hugo was one of those authors who got paid by the word? Like, he was intentionally wordy because he got paid more that way?

Well, when the book came out, the idea that dinosaurs could be resurrected by cloning seemed pretty cutting-edge. Although GI Joe's cartoon ep, Primordial Plot, got there first. My favorite part of the book didn't make it to the movie, though: The system they were using to keep track of the...
