Today I learned that the justification that Legacy Tidal Wave doesn't have a Minicon is because Ramjet never actually showed up in the cartoon. Probably because Tidal Wave's minicon-activated gimmick is so lame.

Yeah but the version without the trailer is in cartoon colors. It's different enough.

They’ll probably have some sort of premium release with a trailer at some point, maybe in a year or so, probably as an exclusive, as to not compete with missing Link. Might even use the rumored SS Commander trailer.

Retail distribution’s gotten worse and the same toys are less expensive buying from online specialty stores around here. There is legitimately no reason to go retail as a collector aside from impulse buys.

Just seeing that mold’s spear scares me

Rerelease MVC 3 you cowards.

I don't think even selling them as Dinoking or Monstructor would have changed much. Even Dinoking with a stronger thematic connection to dinosaurs wouldn't have been all that accurate regardless of what route they took with the colors, the individual toys would still be iffy, they'd still be...

Bulkhead shipped. God, that was a quick turnover from product reveal to release. Sure it's a knockoff but still.

The resulting Dinoforce would also be heavily compromised by the inclusion of the Dinobot designs.

The character selection is questionable. If they’re not smaller versions of big guys who also happen to have better/bigger toys on shelves simultaneously, they’re absolute fodder nobodies. And that was before they flooded the size class with the core dinobots who mostly look very similar.

Because the Zuck needs your data.

It'd probably look better if the colors weren't so separate, making it very clear that it's three dinosaurs taped together. The worst part is that they didn't even bother making use of the animal anatomy for most of them. Like a giraffe head and neck could be a railgun, a spear, a sniper rifle...

I want to know why they thought this would be a good idea in the first place. of course, it is Japan, so odds are someone on the design team’s into it.

Shitstorm and Pinefresh.

Animated Prime’s pretty good as a figure but he could have been more. Like, his fists are attached via ball joints but get locked in place instead of benefitting from the articulation. The narrow hips and the way his feet attach also make standing him in action poses more awkward than it has to...

It might actually look pretty good with the Earthrise trailer. That thing was always a bit small for voyager trucks but it might just fit this one.

I don’t mind the Animated look. If I had infinite space and money sure, but it’s just too idiosyncratic. To save on space and costs, I had to draw the line somewhere and cut Animated, Movieverse and MP. Prime got saved from the purge because there’s only like a handful on each side lol.

TBH this says more about the exclusives than the current toyline.

i don’t see the point about getting worked up over wave filler TBH.
