That's one I don't have. I wasn't really collecting back in that era, so the only Spychangers I have are an Optimus and a Scourge that I've picked up later.
I actually like the new head, but if you're more of a toy accuracy person, I can see wishing they hadn't changed it.
For Slog, I think the issue is more that there wasn't a good way to turn a horizontal quadraped into a vertical biped, especially when the face needed to be on the top so that...
Slog was the only one I had as a kid, and I loved him. Unfortunately, Slog seems to have gotten the short end of the remold stick, but I still loves this as much as a grown man can love a toy robot made out of tiny monsters.
Those are looking good! I like the bits of blue on Blackout, I don't think I had really seen that on earlier pics. Would like to see these two with new heads as Roadbuster and Whirl.
Huh! Yeah, I never got one of those. I like how whoever was designing these things made sure to make the robot designs called back to the character the car was made to look like. As long as you're stealing intellectual property, you may as well go whole-hog!
As I mentioned previously, I sometimes thought of Cyb. Unicron as a parallel universe herald. I kept Cybertron Sideways, Unicron, and red Scrapmetal together as Unicron's herald trio from a universe where he had made his servants out of Hooligan, Bludgeon, and Frenzy, respectively.
Yeah, it's not my first choice as I'd much prefer him to be the Earthrise mold to match the rest of my Seekers, but I don't think he'll clash too badly and I always need more Seekers.
What I really wish they would have done was pull a Shockwave and remolded the Earthrise figure with some of the...
The Transformers Team did specifically mention Sunstorm as a "we know you want it, it may be coming" repaint of the new SS86 Seeker mold during their Toyfair reveal stream.
One thing I ran across the other day was that Amazon is lousy with weird Micromaster KO's. The example I saw was school Valentine's packs for kids, but prepacked Easter eggs seems to be an equally popular place for them. Lot of KO's of actual Transformers Micromasters, but also a ton of...
Shoot! It's not on Tubi anymore?! I've been slowly working my way through it on there. That's one of the things I hate most about the streaming era, the way things come and go from different platforms. You can't ever count on anything being watchable for very long.
You could do up the box to look like the bridge of the Autobot shuttle. That would actually be pretty cool.
Same as above, do the box up like the inside of Autobot City with a cardboard ballista/artillery thingy sized for that shell that came with Springer. That'd be rad.
Ironically, for being an attempt to replicate his screen appearance, this new one feels more like what would happen if you updated the original tall thin G1 toy without consideration of how the cartoon interpreted him.
I really don't think he's a bad Astrotrain at all. His train mode is a significant improvement over Siege. Shuttle mode is slightly better than Siege. Robot mode is where he's pretty much just a lateral move (Siege has better proportions, but is a bit over greebled and I'm not huge on the...
