Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

Jeez, if they won that, they'd probably have slaughtered Hasbro if they had ever bothered. The Jacksonville one doesn't look anything like the car version!

Thankfully by the time Jag was paying attention to stuff like this no one cared about Transformes

It's like drinking from the wrong grail.

Random thought of the day: Looking at Horri-Bull's pointy teeth and Tantrum's place in the Predacons, it's clear some poor Hasbro designer in the '80s had an unfortunate fear of having their steak turn the dinner tables on them.

They just really liked the demon dogs from Ghostbusters.

So then I don't need to tell you that it could have been much, much worse.

I was watching "Kelly's Heroes" and Donald Sutherland's character is named Oddball. Why hasn't there been a Transformers character named Oddball?

Why hasn't there been a Transformers character named Oddball?

Because "Whirl" worked better with the altmode?

Because Gobots got there first? (Albeit in the Wendy's kids meal lineup)

Not sure what thread is most appropriate for this, so I'll put it here:

Just found the Earthrise Runabout reissue at Walmart (sadly, didn't get the presumably clearance price some people reported), and it has me wondering, has there been any hints of a plan to get Runamuck out again? I mean, I'm glad to get Runabout, the only figure I ever saw from his wave was Scorponok's little buddy (FastTrack?), it was a bad time for distribution. But Runabout is one half of a "set", and Runamuck was also scarce due to distribution (and being a retailer exclusive, at least in the US). So, hopefully, there will be a Runamuck redux as well?

 

[Sabrblade]

Wait, was it the black one or the white one you saw? Because I just saw the white one at my Walmart a few days ago.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

The white one is Runamuck, the black one (the one with a B in his name) is Runabout.

 

[Sabrblade]

The white one is Runamuck, the black one (the one with a B in his name) is Runabout.

That's why I asked which one Haywire saw. Because if it really was Runabout, then that means both of them have been reissued.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I figured, just wanted to share the main way I remember which is which.

Was Runabout at Target or Walgreens? I can't remember and my phone doesn't like the wiki for some reason. Either way, it'd be odd to see at Walmart.

Target

 

[Haywire]

It was the white one, so Runamuck, I guess. Got the names mixed up. The black one is the one I'm wondering about a redux for.
