there's also the other iconic line: "There's a hole in the shuttle! Dear Liza, a hole!"

RiD Sideways transformed sideways. I like to think that is (or at least was) relevant.

Take the limbs+torso idea as a base, but tweak it-- a jet that forms the torso and legs, with cars or trucks as limbs. Maybe two small cars form one arm. Maybe a motorcycle becomes a hand or weapon. Maybe something else becomes a torso and an arm. Maybe the theme involves oversized cars...

I'm annoyed he didn't get any domestic redecoes. New guy, good mold, distinctive altmode, combiner limb-- kind of checked all the boxes. Yeah, he was retooled, but that's not really the same.

These are great. Wrong Haul fascinates me- other Constructions are *right there*.

I think I've whined/ranted about this before, but... I remain absolutely baffled that the Core/Legends/sub-Deluxe/Basic/Scout pricepoints/size-classes ended. They were entry-level-type fun little guys and one would think that cheaper figures would sell more units than more expensive ones...

They should've done the Core Class ones first in G2-esque colors. (i am very smrt)

Some of them could be new pre-Earth Dynobots or whatever.

Too bad there aren't, like, Core-class Constructicons.

miscolor Devastators when?

I love how Cyclonus is RIGHT NEXT TO the miscolor. Usually they're "mistook one guy for another"-type mistakes (especially from the back, like Dinobot Perceptor other there). This is incredible levels of error. It's wonderful. Hot Slag is good, too. For burning justice!

I have to double-check the episode numbers because I felt like I missed something. Last episode too. I guess I wasn't expecting a 3 hour movie cut down into five-minute bites, but the shift from multi-parter to discrete episodes is a little jarring.

Kidding aside, I wish SS Devastator had more standardized limb connections. I guess the arms also being part of the torso make it tough, but hear me out: New limb potential- Duststorm, redecoes, whatever. And maybe they're not always construction vehicles-- maybe a submarine or dragon. New...

to every season, turn, turn, turn there is a reason: burn, burn, burn

Oh, absolutely. Lotta shades of gray and nuance to wade through. "Good" is subjective, and shovelware hurts the reputation of the system, so the Seal (like the Authentics branding) is at least *something*. At least in theory. Hasbro's made iffy decisions before. I don't know how much of the...

I feel the need to point out that the Nintendo Seal of Quality was not *just* a marketing gimmick. It was also supposed to discourage shovelware by limiting the number of NES releases per company. The U.S. video game market already had a crash in 1983, and Nintendo really learned from it and...

Yeah, there's some interesting stuff in there, amidst the Hannah-Barbera vibe, disconnect with the toys, and so on. It's wild. The electrical energy being part isn't really *that* different from how Sparks/laser cores are sometimes portrayed, or the Allspark, or Kremzeek. Largely a matter of...

Without the gun-turning-into-ness. Anyway, as I read the CBS pitch, I was struck at how disconnected a lot of it was from the actual toys. Was the actual/prospective toyline aspect omitted, did they figure they'd match things up later, or what? Or did they seriously plan on a toyline only...

Sentinel is the primer Prime.

If they did combiner limbs or Junkions/Armorizers/etc. in crazy testshot colors, oh, yeah. This is interesting (especially the unpainted one) but not what I'm looking for. (Still bummed we never got Titan Master head multipacks.) That being said-- it is a New Idea, and I like to encourage those.
