Probably no more than people needed Arcee in Kingdom, but there are fewer options for package refreshes at this scale. And they're already repacking, say, Blitzwing.

Small semantic bit here. I think "why you would expect" is more apt for this than "why you would WANT". It makes sense to want an extra feature (more than it does to expect them to break the pattern). But the thing is, this extra feature would not PRECLUDE a "slavishly media accurate" altmode...

Yeah, it's only the "same" in that "it's Ultra Magnus" and only relevant here for having an inner white robot. And calling that "four times" glosses over the fact that those four are essentially the same thing released with paint differences four times (or sure, three Sieges and a retool) rather...

Ayo brochachos! From the front page: Transformers Collaborative Stranger Things x Transformers Code Red (Ages 8 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $44.99 | Available: Late 2023) The worlds of Transformers robots and Stranger Things collide with the Stranger Things x Transformers Code Red...

I'm in for Magnus, despite my traditional preference for having the inner robot. Kinda bummed that we didn't get a similar "smaller robot and super mode" as we've gotten for Armada Prime; this seems like it would've been doable at this price point (and frankly I thought that was the point of...

Well, damn, I hadn't even thought about that. Crap.

What a wild batch this year. Powerlinx Hot Shot: definite get, despite it almost assuredly being pricey. I really wish they'd just done him as a Selects, maybe with Jolt (a proper YELLOW Jolt, damn it) thrown in like Nightstick was for Artfire, rather than the usual "let's pretend blast...

I will gladly watch and rewatch a bunch of transformation and feature demo videos and think about the $$$ I saved that I never had anyway.

I wish they'd made Jolt yellow. Ah, well, maybe Takara will make it into a campaign item, but... That's so much extra work. For Thrust, maybe a Starscream style body (wings on torso, not legs) with a Conehead, er, head. Maybe some retooling to add a VTOL fan somewhere and/or cover up the chest...

To be fair, even taking that as Tidal Wave, it could be argued that the statement "we need a new Tidal Wave" applies more, not less. I'm still iffy on a Titan class one, but a Commander class would be perfect. (I am kinda tempted to backtrack and get the TR one, but the few I've seen in the...

Still loving that simple but effective mesh backdrop, Vexwing! And damn, yeah, this mold was really good. More revisiting of Classics custom retirees... (shout out to Kyde's old string of digibashes, which I sadly did not have handy as reference for these) And, well, they haven't gotten...

We did also get God Neptune. But I'd goddamn LOVE new Cyborg Beast retooos out of Kingdom/ROTB stuff.

Preorders open, for $2599. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu3WAI3J_Ng/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

This is what I figured. "wtf is that? Oh, a weird spacecraft thing, quick way to push their scope beyond stock military stuff."

I'm always up for canceled things in general finally being revisited and done. That's one of my favorite things about this era and design team, and it's been worth putting up with exclusives just to get these. It's even worth putting up with intentionally withheld paint (although I wish we...

Nice. And here I was idly wondering about working on a G2 Dead End for one.

Questions like this keep popping up because they seem to keep hinting at continuing the old continuity or at least avoiding saying they're not (in an interview just before the final trailer hit, there was still talk of that). And I can understand waffling about it in 2018, but Bee's solo film...

I was mostly responding to/piqued by the blurb that was part of the quote, which seemed pretty par for the course for fan response. I can see not liking the price, but it's right in there with the automatic assumption that cost is/must always = collectorynessness, which... pass. Regardless, I'm...

Haven't been following. Was this ever marketed as a "premium collector item" or is this just fandom goggles demanding something a cut above "cheap mainline crap" stupid wah wah baby toys? I do see where they're coming from about the hardpoints breaking up the lines. It's a bit like the Arms...

Oh, absolutely. This is what I'm most excited for. (Whether it gets done remains to be seen.)
