Both of your suggestions are great, but I was mainly looking for a chance to get that corrected color scheme on the Earthrise mold. But again, neither of those are bad ideas.

None of those changes parallel your earlier idea of streamlining Botbots to focus on the "proper looking ones" and repainting a new-character burger to look like Optimus Prime. Lines can (don't always do, but can) change when brought from one market to another, but that isn't always the case...

The price hike is kind of hard to get past, now. Really feeling it over here, as the prices have almost doubled locally compared to where they were for most of WFC. I may slow down even more on these. Jhiaxus is so deliciously silly looking in altmode, and the possibly milky white plastic isn't...

So anyway. Boy, are they really going to stick to that 2023 release date for the Netflix series 6?

It'd be neat if they did a solo redo of Prime in more Botcon-ish shades, even with battle damage and whatnot (the original whad some scuffy detailing), as a proper part of the line. Perhaps with the trailer, although that I can take or leave.

Again, missing the point of this toyline This line was never meant to fit into any of those categories. Tiny Turbo Changers, sure, that's much closer to that sort of thing, harp on that. But this line has from day one been a clean slate, and that's by design. It's not "here are the nth chibi...

Shattered Glass Magnus, who comes with both the skeletal Botcon head and the classic Delta Magnus head

Acid Storm packaging:

I only got my Golden Disk one through sheer luck, enough that I want to just be fine with it. Don't feel up to jumping through the different-but-still-demanding hoops to get this hypothetical Target exclusive (that's what it's said to be, right?). But I'm sorely tempted, because the small...

The cursing does nothing for me. Never needed it, and suddenly having it is more a gratuitous meta move than anything and kind of meh as a result. Glad to have gotten a nice worldbuilding-y excursion in the Aqua part of the world, as well as finally getting to revisit the Superboy stuff, as the...

"Primal Team" 3-pack on Amazon.

If either Hasbro or Takara Tomy concerned themselves with "proper looking ones", they would be utterly missing the very goddamn basic point of this toyline.

14 years apart: got the bulks from this set sometime in 2008, and finally tracked down this set for a great price so I could get the Mini-Cons. Will likely try and sell the bulk partners, who are now doubles. I miss this toyline. Now I just need Swerve and (mainly) Roadhandler. And a...

I hope the series 6 stuff continues to find its way to retail plans as we go. I wonder if any of them were produced, since they got as far as the pack-in catalog design phase. And then they'll turn up only having been released in obscure markets.

THIS. WANT THIS.

Part of me wants to get a Kup that has that Bombastic Bag-Man head.

Takara Tomy have put up preorders for their Laser Optimus Prime (due in September 2022), accompanied by some pretty neat pics!

Some great concept art and background info from designer Evan Brooks, featuring Jazz, Kup, Grimlock/Wheelie, and Wreck-Gar. More mirrored on the front page.
