Hasbro "Transformers Timelines" comic packs

[PrimalxConvoy]

If this is a two-pack in Japan then this is an easy and instant pass for me. Prime needs to have a detachable bull mode, some actual Japanese kanji on him and the paint needs to be darker and with more metallic paint details to give a "Musha Gundam" feel to it. Starscream, IMO, looks NOTHING like a samurai, ninja or any feudal Japanese person.

As it stands they both look like glorified Cyberverse figures.

I'll wait to see what Takara Tomy does with these on their home turf but I'll probably wait for the KO versions much later.

If it helps, fan-waving Starscream's arm cannons are matchlock arquebuses.

They do look like tanegashimas. That's a nice touch.

It may the the only nice touch with that Starscream design, but at least there's something.

hasbro should just stop doing birds tbh. they clearly can't do birds.

Starscream proves this team can't do Bird transformers.

Statistically, none of the teams could do Bird transformers*.

*Energon "Is Actually a Good Bird Transformer" Divebomb is an outlier and should not be counted.

I'm far warmer on Starscream then you all, but I don't really need this set?

That being said I think both of them are very cool... I just don't feel the urge to pull the trigger.
Now... if they do some Medieval Europe themed sets with the same design philosophy... I'll be helpless.

What about Transmetal 2 Prowl?

I, for one, am now dying to see the Collaborative Series retool they make from this for Oregon Trail.

Not for lack of trying, though.

Then they can do alternate universe/dead versions for the ones who died of dysentery.

Also +1 for the TransFarmers joke on the last page, too.

Cowboys/Western and Medieval Europe/knights/dragons. Those are my weak points. If they go there with this line, I'm toast.

I figured mine would be this Japanese theme, but it being these same four every time is holding it back for me.

I may reevaluate some things if I get that Geese Howard hakama Megatron and an armored horse ninja Bumblebee.

They should do a very cheap box set of all 4 characters... And it's more of those Kreon (historical) Warrior figures.

I mean, you could almost say the Ox dude is Super Ginrai and not Optimus Prime, if that helps...

He does combine with the trailer...
