So, if oil prices stay high for a while, are we expecting an additional, unexpected wave of price increases from Hasbro a few months down the line?

I do agree that there is a kind of "vibe" in the air of potential change in the line, though I don't really feel like it will be a huge shakeup. Generations as a whole has some momentum right now, with the mainline, Studio Series 86, the Haslabs, comic series, and various store exclusives. TBF...

A lot of great points, but the only part of the movie I was dissatisfied with, really, was how many times they tried to force the "Badassatron" joke. It feels like they used it at least four times, which is a couple of times too many.

Megatron had also apparently decided that all of Iacon was complicit with Sentinel's corruption, and was about to destroy it before Optimus stopped him.

Have you seen the Nonnef conversion kit that turns Sludge into Paddles? It works pretty well.

I actually really liked Legacy Blitzwing, as an update to the G1 toy. Should have been a head taller though, and wish they could have integrated the pile of treads under the plane mode better.

On this train of thought, does anyone else feel like triple changers should, overall, be a little taller/bulkier than most of their peers? They're 50% more mode than a normal figure, and those parts gotta go somewhere. But, in fiction, the triple changers are often seen as valueable members of...

I find it interesting that MW used four of the Euro G1 molds for the larger figures, but unused G2 molds for the smaller figures, instead of any of the Predators or Turbomasters. Maybe they would have ended up being year 2, if the line had been more successful?

Not to yuck anyone's yum, but it's interesting how much people are wanting MW homages now, noone really talked about them much back in the earlier days of the fandom (granted, we did get the Botcon figures). I guess it goes to show that every aspect of our youth can be mined for nostalgia.

Wow, I didn't have "realizing Galvatron is a D&D Warlock (great old ones subclass)" on my 2026 bingo card.

That looks surprisingly good in all those variations. The G1's colours will need to be brighter though. I wonder if the mold looks decent without the shoulder pads?

This team doesn't typically just design molds to be "half one toy half another" and call it a day only one one half's deco. Most of the SS86 molds have had both animation and toy deco releases, they told us during a livestream that they have "multiple" alternate Straxus paint schemes they might...

Ugh, that needs to be a Commander class to do it any justice. But Commanders rarely get repainted, let alone remolding (they'd probably give MW Optimus a face plate, right? Coin toss, there).

I would happily take Sixgun, Slammer, and even Cog & Brunt in Junkion colours, to add more fanmode hijinx.

Maybe they joined forces to overcome the control of their shells, and the combined, chaotic mental force of Monstructor's mind overwhelms the shells, turning them into minions...okay, this is going places.

Now you have me thinking of the shells more as the robots' warlock patrons. They are somewhat demonic looking...

I figure it would be a lot easier to have solid shells with pegs for the back panels to slide into.

I've seen it mentioned a few times, but I don't know why new ones would need to be rubbery?

TBF, I feel every GI Joe movie so far has been a Snake Eyes movie.

My sweet, dumb, little boys. Pretty much perfect. About the only things missing are Bristleback's wings. Hopefully someone designs some 3d printable shells.
