Wow, I remember when instructions had white backgrounds so you could actually see the image and what it was trying to do, with a clarifying paragraph above it in case the visual was not enough. And 8-track tapes, I remember those too... Add-on Edit: You know, it wouldn't actually be that...

So you're telling me it wasn't senility or insanity, it was just his show's opening theme...?

Take THAT, poorly documented features from the 1980's! REVENGE IS MINE!!!! Ok, the whole concept of 'connecting to' is clearly being faked, but it's close!

I just SAID I'm lousy at it...(also I'm not sure it's rendering right? First part probably isn't 0IM?)

It wouldn't help me in any case. I know telegraphs exist, but I'm lousy at Morse Code...

The head's spot-on. They could have done 'Grimdark' as some partial homage? Still, my best guess is he didn't have the required musical talent.

I gave up trying, I just partially unfold the arm, use the upper connection to trigger the disconnect, then put the bottom half on the lower arm bit. Vortex is a pain as he has that rotating top part that you have to partially undo his tail/arms to get out of the way. It reminds me weirdly, of...

Re: My giant venus flytrap planter, a funny exchange while standing next to it trimming some of the dead leaves that lets me know it's working! Though it sounded like something I could have cut/pasted into one of my dumb comics without anyone being wiser. "Your stupid planter will eat...

Maybe it will be animated with the dead-color Robeson. Cross merchandising. And when the hard-to-replace battery fails in the thousand-dollar toy, it becomes more show accurate!

Doesn't help that they keep recycling names for series and sublines, too. "whatever" of the Primes, "Universe", "Classics", "Retro", Robots in Disguise", "Cyberverse" etc.

I don't know if the gold ever became an issue or not, honestly. I'm just rather paranoid of it due to how many of my older bots started cracking, way before I ever heard of GPS. I was one of those people who would keep trying to fix things over and over, and not realize why the breaks kept...

That's the thing. And the only issue the original had was gold plastic and that annoyingly thin waist peg. I assume this one will not have nearly as thin of a tiny rivet holding the halves together.

Oops, not that one! I may have used the wrong terms, they overlap a lot. I meant the more recent Laser Prime that they later made Toxitron and Scourge from for WalMart. And the Skywarp was the Gamer Edition from last year.

I take my nephew to Ollie's, which isn't exactly an option for the newest ones. But he did just get the Laser Optimus and FOC Skywarp recently, for that reason.

Thank you! The armored T-rex and Triceratops came just like that, no paint or anything added. And due to the tail clubs/spikes, I sort of head-canoned them as having the DNA from ALL the old shells, sort of merged remnants when the Dinoforce got improved Beast Modes that they spliced together...

I saw the transformation video for the new one. Not sure if it makes sense, but I'm very impressed by the simplicity of it? A lot of modern transformers that I or my nephew have gotten have on occasion had such odd non-intuitive 'partial moves' and such that I've started making sure my sister...

I really hope a shell set of some sort comes out, I was able to improvise with Dinoking to an extent, just a couple of the Safari LTD armored ones worked great, but Monstructor needs a hoard of 'familiars'.

Is there a hole in the middle of his chest marble, or is that a light reflection thing?

I just realized tonight that one of the grooves on Onslaught's trailer 'bed' behind the turret is the perfect size and depth to hold the front 'wheels' on Vortex, rear on Blast Off, so you can have him carry one of the flyers without it shifting around. Makes me wonder if any of the other...

Mine was entirely grey inside the wings and the head didn't have that extra coloration. I know it wasn't a KO, I got it in WalMart when Beast Machines toys first came out.
