It was a waste of time, though. The guy he was talking to had 6 fingers. CLEARLY just an A.I. agent.

Carnivac was always a favorite of mine as a kid, so I was understandably very excited for him to get a new figure. As much as I really do love the inner robot look, I was missing his organic shell (a wolf wearing a leather jacket and spiked shoulder pads struck me as the coolest thing that ever...

That is definitely possible! I didn't do much in the way of research on the subject, basically just ran across them on Aliexpress (which I am just now starting to use).

Yes, but they are composed of a type of slime mold, I believe. Nothing as advanced as a dinosaur.

In his defense, had I made a point of the fact that it was a ROBOT guy made out of ROBOT dinosaurs, then there's no question as to the statement's validity. Buy from a purely biological standpoint, most guys are not, in fact, made out of dinosaurs.

This is another one that doesn't really fall into Knock-Off TRANSFORMERS territory, but wasn't sure where else to put it. It's modern, so it doesn't really belong in the "vintage other robot" thread. It's an undersized KO of Miniforce Dino Emperor. Roughly 2/3 or so of the original size. I'm...

A tiny bit more articulation would really have made the toys easily integrate into main-line collections. I don't think it would have hurt their kid-friendlyness any, either.

That medic-roscope would be a great new character

Cybertron Primus really didn't do too bad a job of integrating a lot of the planet into the robot. He was far from a perfect sphere (by design), and a lot of the planet still ended up on his back, but at least it did look like it was doing something back there.

Obviously the G1 Prototype did it right. Just leave ball the same in both modes and use the ring to make the rest of the robot!

I still stand by the idea that Haslab would be the perfect place for a Mt. St. Hilary / Crashed Arc / Autobot Base. I know playsets don't sell at retail anymore according to the powers-that-be, but with Haslav, they could skip the retailer.

TF: One is by far the best Transformers movie that has ever been made, but yes, that bar is very low. The 1986 movie is my FAVORITE Transformers movie and I love it dearly, and there are individual scenes that are absolutely killer, but as a whole, it's a bit of a narrative mess. The Bay era...

Same. It's my first go-round with a Haslab. I love the idea of them, they've just been too pricey, too outside my interests, or a combination of both until Liokaiser. I'm glad that they've come up with a format to allow things that fans want but would never get released at retail.

I have it on good authority that the next HasLab is a 100% faithful recreation of Beast Machines Supreme Cheetor. It will automatically be shipped to everyone in Hasbro's database UNLESS they pledge funding to stop it.

Wishes he didn't have the flu

The Allspark remains THE internet destination for mammoth feet pics.

Dammit, it would appear that the old Dr. McNinja comic is no longer online. There was a page where the good Doctor was reminiscing about a super-team he was on as a youth. The leader was a guy that had rocket boots that were 100% used for kicking people with added fire damage.

Claiming that rocket boosters aren't weapons is how you can tell someone has never been kicked by a rocket-foot!

Stopped by a McDonalds as I was doing an errand, picked up 2 Happy Meals as a last attempt to get some of the Changeables that had eluded me so far. When I got home, I was surprised to see that they had put 2 toys in each box! "Surely, " I thought, "here is a chance to pick up at least ONE...

There's a Trading Post set up in the B/S/T forum. Looks like Echowarrior has a Boo Bot to sell/trade
