Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion ll Update: 2026 Product revealed - Combaticons, Beast Wars and more Primes

[Donocropolis]

You know? That could actually work for them. With the upcoming Blokee Wheels, it shows that their not dead-set on always making figures, so I could see a bunch of blind-boxed "scenes" that can be put together like those Gundam Mechanical Chain Base things to make full-on bases. There could be orange and purple versions. You can make a computer/control room, med lab, armory, etc.

I’m also seeing a lot of recent Leader releases marked down to $27 online, so maybe check your given store on that as well?

Anything has a base mode if you're bad enough at parking.

That's just canon.

Transformers AOTP G2 Swoop and Sludge

@Black Convoy Hi, you goobers! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Also, Aaron the Anti-AI Anteater is coming for anyone who wants to slap an AI generated background to...

Sludge had to have blaze orange paint so onlookers would know he's not a real dinosaur.

I assume Sludge is that shade to better differentiate him from G2 Snarl. The old box art was pretty dark. Almost a copper shade.

"Me, Sludge, tastes like sherbet!"
"Me, Swoop, say Kermit the Frog was right!"
*Grimlock says nothing, just begins playing the sax mournfully....*

I made this comic years ago, maybe I accidentally predicted a future plot point and the color change is in memory of his accidental victim.

Depending on the source, though, the shade might not be EXACTLY what the final figure or package art might have. I actually expected the Selects toy to be closer to THAT shade than the one we’re seeing. Then again, Hasbro might have “brightened up” the tones to better compliment Toxitron Grimlock

Those are deliciously offensive and I’m here for it. Bonus points for the toy-centric head sculpt on Swoop. I actually think I’m going to get rid of the my Studio Series crew and just keep the PotP limbs and the G2 versions for leader class.

 

[Platypus Prime]

I don't think they're for me, but I'm glad they decided to keep the extra swords with Swoop, so he can share with the other Dinobots!

Just one extra, really. Grimlock's sword. The other is Swoop's own sword.

Since Snarl comes with his own sword, that just leaves Sludge and Slug in need of theirs. The Marvel-colored Comic Edition Grimlock came with theirs plus a comic special edition of Grimlock's own sword, so we just need some additional release venue of Sludge and Slug's swords outside of that Comic Edition Grimlock.

But of course, out of all of these official releases, this all leaves both SG Grimlock and Toxitron Collection Grimlock still swordless.

I'm not quite understanding what the reveal article (https://www.allspark.com/home/threa...d-90s-dinobots-finally-land.3654/#post-184464 ) when it says:

"Minor omissions include comic-accurate swords and eye tampos..."

I honestly expected this to end a lot worse for Wheelie.

And man, that orange sludge... but enough about Cheez Whiz.

I'm so-so on Swoop, but an orange Dinobot appeals to me...
