I dunno, it’s not wise per se since they essentially have no track record aside from maybe their shoddy Omega Supreme, but Devastator is essentially just six smaller toys. It’s the zealots who think they’re actually making Fort Max that get me. Even if it does get made, this is the company that...

I just think their designer is a hack who skates by because they do characters nobody else is doing at the MP scale where people have more money than sense. I still don’t know how they’re still around after their absolutely horrid monsterbots and diaper-wearing Ginrai with no thighs.

Don't be silly. The windows aren't cel-shaded.

how do you make Overload even uglier than the original? Armada Overload wasn't exactly a looker but everything about him exuded no-thrills walking high-caliber weapon. This guy has a large torso and small limbs, evoking someone like Bulkhead more.

His altmodes suck and all but the real question is: why is Megatron's crotch so enormous? Also lol at Starscream's Lego mace

I find it awkward about the toy is that they designed a way to hide the face that’s only visible when the tank is flipped over when his shoulders and thighs are in full view. his facial expression’s weird too.

Big Prime sounds likely if they continue the naming convention but it kinda gives off second-rate Soundcloud rapper vibes.

Yeah, parodies can happen with the permissions of the rights holder. The point is in most other places, you wouldn’t even need permission at all. That’s how strict their laws are and why Takara would be very careful around them. For fandom works, as I understand, they are technically against...

They're very strict about copyright to the point where unauthorized uses have to be mosaiced out or otherwise censored for broadcast. This goes even for things that are clearly parodies, as those aren't covered as fair use there unlike in most other countries. It’s not often enforced but it...

Not saying it’s not possible but there’s a reason why some Japan-only characters get toys and the others don’t. As has been noted before, just because they do obscure stuff every once and a while doesn’t mean they do it full time. They have many more universes to work with, with characters more...

It appears to be pretty decent, aside from the submarine having a hand instead of the claw and selling the claw submarine separately with the otherwise unchanged drones. Personally find that he has a pretty bad headsculpt.

I feel that even with the more obscure characters, they’re still thinking with marketability in mind. Lio Convoy/Prime was the go-to lion mold repaint for over a decade and Magmatron was actually released internationally. Both also showed up in mass-release comics. Galvatron… got his colors used...

Never forget.

If i were in charge of making a new Magmatron, the only thing that'd be on the list to change for sure are the head wings. Dude thinks he's Dumbo.

I see. Haven’t had the time to watch the video yet.

Thought so but man, they’re tiny. Smaller-looking than the previous effect parts though that may just be a shrunken image of them I guess.

What are the little purple things on the box?

I'll cut them some slack since the SRP is the same as a Leader class figure. Thing legit costs more to ship than buy. It's like a titan class weaponizer or whatever they're calling them nowadays. Plus it leads to some crazy possible altmodes

Youtube recommended this video for me. It's an interesting piece, with a robot whose altmode is... another robot mode. It comes with a shield, a gun and two swords. For gimmickry, it has lights and sounds and you can fill it with water to have it blow mist out of the exhaust ports to simulate...

The all-in-one philosphy is interesting but I find it ultimately pointless since the combiner play pattern by definition is already partsforming. Having an integrated chesplate or hands isn’t a big sell when you still have entire limbs and a torso to reposition anyway. I mean it’s clever but if...
