  1. Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    Well, better than I thought, then. Though that then leads to the question of why waste so much time money and effort to move an hour down the road. No amount of tax breaks will ever offset the disruption.
  2. Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    I imagine the matrix transfer more like "blah blah blah rise from our ranks and light our darkest hour..." "How does that work exactly?" "A couple of AA's. Or just plug a USB cord into the back, there's a little slot that pops open..."
  3. Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

    I somehow missed this. 597 potential layoffs, put under the WARN act as possible transfers, which assumes, in a highly unlikely way, that people can easily uproot and move that quickly since it's apparently effective CHRISTMAS EVE. I hope the reports are inaccurate simply to avoid the whole...
  4. Studio Series discussion

    No, no, too early, my bad...Shockwave's not out yet... Edit: Whenever Whalewave comes out, I hope someone with Liokaiser shows some of the team on the moon with their spears, and Shockwave running screaming from them.
  5. Studio Series discussion

    I found one of those Studio Series 'More Than Meets The Eye' Starscreams! It was the only one in the store and I had a 25% off coupon! Now to tick off the entire fandom by hiding it in my closet till my nephew's birthday. That's right, for the next stage of my decent into evil depravity, I'm...
  6. Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    The last few pictures have been amazing... "Rodimus! We're under attack by Trypticon, another Trypticon, TWO slightly smaller Trypticons, someone named Gigastorm who looks like Trypticon, Tidal Wave, Skorponok, Black Zarak, Astrotrain, and the base mode of an evil clone of Optimus Prime!"...
  7. 1988 Minibot Equivalents

    The weird thing is some of the reissues were super easy to find in Toys R Us and WalMart, others I never saw in stores at all, there was no consistency. Even today, I got the 'movie' G1 recolors for Thundercracker and Skywarp for my newphew, no Starscream ever appeared. But this whole thing is...
  8. 1988 Minibot Equivalents

    It's all perspective. I remember not having enough for a Megatron I wanted to get for my father after he got in a car wreck and they suggested some fiddle toys to get the nerves to reconnect. Me and my mother together (we were struggling) got a Brawn. He liked it because he thought it looked...
  9. Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    Well, I learned something! Despite Fire Convoy Prime being my favorite design for a Prime I had no idea he'd done an anime glow powerup. I actually saw very little of the show back in the day.
  10. 31 Days of Halloween (2022)

    Strangely, one of the best honors I ever got was back in the Prize Inside Shapeways days when I admitted to Trent Troop I was blatantly misusing his models, and he said he noticed, and asked to copy some of my dumb pictures for his product shots. I still have this handle extender... And you...
  11. 31 Days of Halloween (2022)

    I will never criticize anyone's art. Partially because I respect the effort, mostly because while my own doesn't use Artificial Intelligence, it also doesn't use basic photographic competency, artistic merit, or good taste. I still have no idea why the background faded out in Panel 2. And I...
  12. Transformers Collaborative series

    All I know is Takara and Hasbro need each other like Hot Wheels Bumblebee needs fiber.
  13. Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    That yellow Prime was always so utterly bizarre but amazing. Maybe he's gone Super Saiyen?
  14. Transformers Collaborative series

    New pictures of Bumblebees Hot Wheels car are up and his face combined with the body make him look terribly constipated. "Poe...Tae...Toe..." "Uh, Bee? You ok, man...?" "Poe...Tae...Toe..." On the other hand the detail behind the chest window makes him look like he has a Matrix-like thing...
  15. Post Pictures of Your Weirdest Optimus Prime & Megatron Pairings

    This is SORT of a Megatron-Prime pairing in fiction...? (Based on a true story. Specifically, the store I was in today.) Well, *I* found it offensive too, Bee. I did too..
  16. Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    The sad thing is, if they are obsessed with packing it with something to make it cost more, there are plenty of things I'd love to see as a repaint that would make sense and not be redundant. Like a Glow In The Dark Starscream of whatever mold, to be a ghost. Not the usual clear-plastic stuff...
  17. Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    Megatron x Nightbird x Mysterious Prime, where the contents of the Centurion Pack are hidden in a treasure chest in an old hotel run by a retired Megatron, and Nightbird has been posing as the CyberWitch to scare him off the property. And she would have gotten away with it too, had it not been...
  18. Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    Odd thought, do something 'licensee adjacent' for an official release with someone like Super7 doing ReAction+ figures of non-transforming characters like the human cast in 3 inch scales, and put accessories for the mainline Transformers with them. So it's still in theory first-party, but...
  19. Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    I'm sorry, I didn't see the panel, I hadn't realized they specifically commented on it. I think Shapeways had the small-parts market somewhat cornered for a while, and any 'big' 3rd party using actual molds will be limited by what they think the market is, due to production numbers. The one...
