    Studio Series discussion

    I do appreciate this, but that's partly what's getting me -- on a SCREEN it looks bluer, but in PERSON it reads closer to the old shade. My first instinct was also to do a search for comparisons but I stopped and thought no, that's how I got into this. This may just be me.

    Studio Series discussion

    I, uh, already sold my Kingdom one. But I'll look at it again after removing it from the cardboard backing. Maybe in isolation it'll look better. It's currently still not nearly as immediately perceivable as that, but it's nice overall. Still, this has me wondering about a possible Dramatic...

    I really really really hope they make a Spacewarp, and it's not prohibitively expensive (this one is already riding that line). There are dozens of us who would buy that.

    Transformers Collaborative series

    Same here, but that's exactly my point. What helps it a lot is the ability to split up the top bubble of the car. If that has to remain unbroken, he'd have this bulging oval torso as well. Mind, I'm not saying it's definitively the case, I'm just raising the possibility (recalling Alternators...

    Cyclonus is... Baffling. Finally got one despite the minimal stock (and suddenly rabid bunch of people after him, idk, scarcity and fomo flip a switch in everyone). While I'm still glad to have replaced the Kingdom copy for the height and engineering tweaks (the thighs are a liiiittle too long...

    Transformers Collaborative series

    IDK if it's just about expertise. Did the behind-the-scenes mention if VW insisted on no big cuts or seams or whatever on the car body? Because all the engineering in the world is going to struggle to make that car top be anything more than this kind of paunch if it can't be broken up and has to...

    Transformers Cyberworld: Spoopy Ocean Times

    We've gotten the new "traded knees for elbows" Starscream in, which makes me worry we just skipped Scourge entirely.

    The Random Transformers Image Thread

    A long time ago, there was a time when the only Transformers I really had to my name were a Micromaster Transport Erector, which was a Christmas gift, and the Micromaster Construction Patrol, which may have also been a gift, not sure. (I can't recall if this was before or after that one time an...

    I'm not even sure what the deal is with his face and eyes. Is this a comic thing? I dig his deco otherwise, very Dramatic Capture.

    Seems like that should've come with Cubbie, odd that.

    Studio Series discussion

    I would've loved to see Battle Masters continue with all of those. But I'll take them as cassettes. Scorpulator at the top of that list. Overkill/Tyrannitron. Slugfest/Gatoraider? Grand Slam/Push-Button or Fistfight or something. Raindance/Sights.

    Studio Series discussion

    That's fair. This isn't for you, it's for me. I have a Ramhorn, don't need a new one. I want an opaque plastics Rewind. And I REALLY want these unmade obscure randos that mostly only exist as ideas on an old script draft. (And Stripes, who has been made before but is otherwise in that group. And...

    Upcoming Live-Action Film Rumors

    This was one of the reasons it was so annoying that they kept pussyfooting around the decision to reboot. But Bee being a mute in this setting worked well, because they leveraged that into an Iron Giant style plot, where the friendship develops over a necessarily longer period because the human...

    I'm a bit concerned about availability where I am for Red Alert and Nautica. Hope we get a good size shipment in stock locally, because the recent bs with Swindle and Cyclonus and whatnot has just sucked all the fun right out of the process. That cassette pack makes me all kinds of giddy and I...

    Generations 2027: No More Primes! It is the Age of Evolution!

    They work really well with the colors, cape or no cape. I just wish he'd gotten the big honking missile drums instead of someone else's big honking shoulderpads (while winding up with missile drums that are neither big nor honking). But they look good where they are, so I'm not too mad about...

    Seriously, the Centurion was a good template. A Deluxe troop builder with a ton of good stuff? I'm in. An AUTOROOPER?! I'm in-er. I might've even gotten sucked into this if the troop builders were the otherwise meh G2 trooper and Quintesson Bailiff-whatever from the 4-pack. But this is a good...

    Generations 2027: No More Primes! It is the Age of Evolution!

    Agreed. I'm generally... fine with this Starscream in robot mode, as the incongruity of the altmdoe stings more and has fewer redeeming qualities. Maybe down the line we'll get a better one, but it's nice to have one right now. Thunderclash... I can only do one compromise of this size at a...
