    Transformers Cyberworld: Spoopy Ocean Times

    Whatever it is, I hope it happens soon, because this is tiresome as hell. Two episodes of him basically being more of the same from the last THREE. At least we do get it expressed in an interesting way this time, messing up their gameplay (better done in the first ep than the second). And...

    Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    I don't know how I had the first one for SO long and never thought of the roof/top of the cockpit as unpainted. In my mind's eye the windows are clear but it's not a whole clear top. I don't WANT to buy a whole other one (not at current prices with so many others on the get list) just for that...

    Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    I have tended to wonder why that word is so prominent in descriptions of the syndrome. I'm not sure the specifics of the swirls are that much of a determinant (so it might be more as a descriptor of how the flakes are worked into the mix rather than a breakage indicator). Like, the crumbling...

    That's definitely the target market for it all right. Basically getting a good cross section of three waves, a full combiner set (vehicles and combining parts), two chases, and an exclusive -- it's a nice convenient pickup. If this is priced nicely enough, I may undertake all the work.

    Hubris is a thing. And their recent forays into rubbery plastics have done nothing to dispel the impression that that is not a workable idea, especially under forever shrinking budgets that lead to taking shortcuts. Time will tell if this swirly plastic endeavor is any different, but were I in...

    Transformers Cyberworld: Spoopy Ocean Times

    I've toyed with getting the pack and repurposing this Op as that. The colors are at least fudgeable. But I'd want a new head for it, and that doesn't look particularly feasible.

    No Starscream. But definitely a worthwhile get.

    Blokees

    Yeah, the exclusive colorway is tempting. But getting stuck with 23 things I'd then need to get rid of is going to be a ridiculous chore, even if the pricing is basically 2 regular full cases and a bit for the Bruticus bits (i.e. no exclusivity tax). It's a nice instant collection, I guess...

    Transformers the Movie 40th Anniversary Tour

    I mean, it WOULD be an interesting way to do an "anniversary" edition that isn't just a rerun (tacked-on scene aside). But that would be an unfortunate and unnecessarily mean side effect and a dick move. I don't know how likely it is or isn't, or the cost comparisons (which may factor into...

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    There is an Apology Tour thread and someone has already posted this there. That's an infinitely better place than here. It's also not a "remastered" soundtrack.

    Ah, good. I've been meaning to make a post on this for a while, so this is as good a time as any.

    Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    I once tried to do the opposite with the CW/UW molds, making a Ruination out of Baldigus. After acquiring a Baldigus, I painted up bootlegs of Brawl and Onslaught into the colors of Hasbro's Armorhide and Mega-Octane, who were the main distinctly-colored ones. Always really liked the visual of...

    IDW 2019 throwing in (or cementing, idk when it FIRST first came up) the idea that Bombshell makes (inferior, to Shockwave's at least) Insecticlones has given me another way to justify having at least a few different body types kicking around, if not color schemes.

    Transformers Collaborative series

    This was part of why I wanted to like it, in case someone would make an upgrade kit that would un-Optimus it somehow. There was enough there to strike a Rodimus vibe. But I couldn't get past the weirdness of that trailer. And then I saw how much it cost, which (even if that kit existed) made...

    Transformers Cyberworld: Spoopy Ocean Times

    Locally, we somehow got in Soundwave, ginormous Bee, AND the Prime/Ripclaw-Mirage 2-pack... but no Scourge. The one thing I wanted. I'm pleased to see that Scourge's price point is lower than I thought (basing this on the 2-pack price), but I wish he and Soundwave had swapped price points and...

    Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    It's been tough to resist this one for sure. The purple is better, the topical ointments have worked on most of the stegeing, and he comes with gun mode Shockwave. (That third reason is very compelling.) But at this point it's still something of a lateral move and I may as well wait for him to...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Something so soothing about that shade of blue, and flattening the other colors to be neutral has an intriguing effect. The stark simplicity of the color scheme kind of reminds me of a uniform. Wanted to visualize a merging of this great take from CoffeeHorse with the purple from the original...
