Instructions unclear, reissued with melty rubbery plastic

Yeah, it isn't always as easy. Especially since they started gluing, rather than screwing, heads together. The size of the neck ball and the head socket sometimes makes it really scary to try and pop the head off, especially if the latter is a more restricted socket that tapers to more or less...

At that scale I'd welcome like a G1 Op with Classics armor that can attach in robot and altmode (not clear Energon armor, just same-colored pieces sculpted to evoke plating). The extra bits around and in front of the cab, and the roof vane, turning into shields and a gun (the latter greatly...

I want to say Energon Prowl/Starscream didn't have cards, but then I think I got them loose (not really being as focused on paperwork at the time, and looking for any way to save on price), so I don't think I'd really know for sure. I can definitely relate to the card obsession, as I'm...

Not since that one seems to be more heavily based on the show. I remember at the time getting a Nemesis and doing a parts swap with a regular Optimus, which ended up with a mostly-unified look (there were a couple of parts I couldn't simply remove and swap); I then sold off the Op that now had...

I didn't like the tan on Armada or Universe Nemesis, but mostly because (1) I knew I wouldn't be able to get the Takara one, and the Armada Nemesis Prime would've been the closest thing and it was arbitrarily Less Close, and (2) in general, I wanted the RID2001 Scourge template to be the one...

How much for the regular Autorooper?

I'm definitely waiting for if and when they make a redeco in colors I prefer, because due to money things I will likely only be able to afford one of these, maybe two (if they make Nemesis Prime and Blue Big Convoy/Ultra Mammoth), and that rules out original recipe.

As Steevy says, media in general is just consumed differently now, and the patterns and shifts seem to make sense. It's less the quality of the writing, and more the mode it's presented in and how that's consumed. Since video supplanted text in the 2010s (spurred on by sketchy data, thanks...

Current design direction would probably go modular slash partsforming, down to just unpegging for transformation and becoming a shield or hanging out on the back. That calls for at least two fewer hinges and whatever else.

Bring Back Elbows! Think Of The Man- Children

People just aren't ready for a Robocop who doesn't skip leg day. Alternatively, this would have flown off the shelves if they had given him his sound box. I like the look of the mold and hope to get it in my preferred color scheme at some point. But even given that, and how it makes sense to...

Thanks to unluckiness' tip, I was able to get the rear/shoulder tires to seat well after a few layers of scotch tape. I may go back and add another layer to Beachcomber, whose testing I kind of rushed. Even better, I gambled on a cheapo bootleg Lego bike whose description seemed to have...

Sure, but when I try it I'm "a danger to everyone in the store"

That does look good. But they'd have to retool the truck hood as well to accommodate those shoulder shapes and to end up behind the head in robot mode. Man, I'm still so surprised how pleasant the proportions and look of the Swerve retool are.

They should start adding QR codes for the relevant episode of The Basics, kind of like the QR codes for profiles they used to have for Legacy. (And pay McFeely a nice little mcfee.) I was about to say "or go back to just printing bios on the box", but alas, that ship, it has sailed.

"Big Convoy isn't selling because duh, stupid cutting corners lazy Hasbro didn't even make him BIG big." /moron I think the question of "familiarity for the kids" is a tricky one these days, now that this main line is pretty transparently not kid-aimed anymore. The delineation between the...

A return to monke micro play focus in the main line has been a big want of mine for a while. It's not likely, but still.

Tried getting some Lego tires to replace the ones on Beachcomber and Rukus. I have no idea if these will or won't have the same plasticizer problem down the line, but it was worth a look. The 61254 tires are a decent fit for the rear/shoulder wheels. They don't fall off, but they're not snug...

Just doing as company does. Angle that Skeletor's arm a little differently and he can reach for your wallet, a done thing for the Transformer he's hanging out with.
