    Transformers Cyberworld: Spoopy Ocean Times

    If she holds her weapon thingy extended so it looks like an umbrella, she can fly through the air like freakin' Mary Poppins?

    Transformers Cyberworld: Spoopy Ocean Times

    Airachnid is out at Target, got mine today! She shares a transformation with Chop Shop, but very few parts, if any. There's even molded-in detail on a part that could have been the same, but isn't! Technically, the instructions don't have the spider legs rotated on the arms, but I feel like it...

    Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    If the current Cyberworld figures had just a little bit more articulation, they would practically be a modern era Machine Wars. Seriously, though, Deluxe-scale-based figures have been the gold standard for collectors for so long now that its understandable that fans would want updates of some...

    The Kaiju Thread of Building-Smashing, Flame-Breathing, and Slam-Dunking

    Nice! Thanks to a helpful coworker, I have a few of the individual cans, but didn't get the 99-pack. Really want the PBR store display that went with that promotion! On a similar note, Godzilla and C4 energy drinks had a promotional flavor. And tangentially, I wish I had gotten my hands on the...

    I was around 10 when we moved to Omaha, Nebraska in the early 90s and got to experience KB Toys for the first time at the Crossroads Mall. The Toys R US was a few blocks away in its own building. All 3 are gone, now, but they were still there in the early 2000s when I started collecting as a...

    Windcharger and Tailgate both need to go through the toy-based filter of the Retro Carded line first, then we need Wipe-Out, Rook, and SG Rook in Selects or whatever the successor of AotP is...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I'm excited for the individual Breastforce and their little animal buddies! I'm honestly kind of ambivalent about Liokaiser; I may combine them once to say that I did, and then leave them in their individual forms.

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    Quite possible. When I found the dinos in the thrift store, I tried to find out what they were and came up with a couple strange off-brand sets with russian-sounding names. I'm pretty sure these were sold somewhere in the world previously and are just being sold in the USA in a different...

    I always assumed he was based on a Chevy SSR? Still a good Transformer, and a mighty fine Kup!

    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    Heheh...I had an employee named Mark, and I often handed him assignments printed off our company task manager. Whenever he asked why I didn't have someone else do it, I always told him "It says right at the bottom, Mark Complete!"

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    So, here are the codes I found: 3007 White/electric blue T-Rex 5138 Blue/Grey Wolf 5159 Red Truck 5169 Yellow/Blue Dozer 5517 Grey F22 Jet I'll add more if I find them.

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    Oddly, the wrapping says "Series 2", but the product guide says "Series 1". One side seems to indicate 12 different figures, but the other side has many more styles and colors. There is also indication in the instructions that some of these figures can combine.

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    A lot of the head sculpts seem strangely familiar. Pretty sure the electric t-rex is based on Optimus Prime, while a couple other take cues from Grimlock:

    THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

    So, this weekend, I discovered Mystery Ballerz Mech Botz. These are "blind" packed transforming robots in a gashapon-style ball. There is a code on each ball which seems to indicate the style of figure, so I'm not sure how blind these truly are. I found mine at Hobby Lobby for around $6.50 USD...

    With all these movie-themed sets, maybe a Springer and Arcee "Better Things to Do Tonight Than Die" set?

    So do you really love the simplified animation styles?

    In my mind, there is a fine line between making them look "like the cartoon" and making them look "cartoony". Unfortunately, there's not a hard and fast rule in my head that differentiates the two?

    "I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!" "No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting." "Look, matey, I know a dead Autobot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now." "No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!" I'd finish the rest, but the...

    Skids and Mudflap in Ice Cream Truck mode could use a second run. Geewunify them and get rid of the fugly heads, and I would buy it.
