Transformers Legacy toyline

[Platypus Prime]

Now I wonder in a Victorian Armada Transformer continuity if wood-burning steam powered Cybertronians would use PowerLinkon Logs.

The dub would call them "Brown Lego" at least twice due to name confusion.

I just bought magmatron. Amazon had him for 20% off (which is a much better sale than I would ever get locally, and he's never turned up locally.) and free shipping.

Sadly, I don't really have any connection to character; as I never watched the japanese beast wars stuff.

I also have absolutely no connection to the character, but it's a damn fun toy.

I mean, I figured; it's well reviewed, three animals turning into one robot which is a long standing fandom favorite. I want him to fill out the bad guys leader shelf, but he's been on the wishlist since he dropped.

Figures that Amazon would do the sale right after I get a car and have no money. But on the other hand the car is a Prius Prime, so if I slap one of those car sticker Autobot symbols on it I could still claim victory...?

A Prius, you say?

I had a G2 Autobot logo on the hood on mine until a tree branch fell and dented the hood, so now it's back to a normal Autobrand. A Prius would make a great modern Throttlebot.

I feel like having a few visible dents would make it more credible as a G2 Autobot.

It depends where you park it, if you park it in the wrong place, Towline might come along, complaining and saying "NO parking, means no PARKING!!"

Regarding that Fractured Friendship pack, wouldn't it be wiser to call him Optimus Prime since he comes with the matrix, he's really just a matrix enhanced upgrade from the Humble Origin's Orion Pax, sort of like how it upgraded Optronix to Dreamwaves Optimus Prime in War Within.

He's just Cybertronian form Optimus Prime in my collection.

"Ulchtar" was a deep cut I was not expecting. I thought Genvo's design was really cool. And the passing overhead of Omega reminded me a lot of Ruckley's worldbuilding, which was neat. (The use of "they" had me anticipating multiple Titans, and I like to think that semi-regular Titan flybys could still be an actual thing.)

Wrong thread.

Technically, the smaller "IDW" Prime is kind of a made up figure. He was never a data archivist in IDW, and he was forged as a beefy dude, rather than getting upgraded by the Matrix.

So basically there's no physical difference between Pax and Prime in IDW, IIRC.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Other than the wisdom of the primes.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Other than the wisdom of the primes.

That's a mental difference, not a physical one.

 

[Sabrblade]

Yeah. Mental rather than metal.

Walmart exclusives.

 

[Confuzor]

Nope! I am happy with my Studio Series BB and am not gonna hunt down another wild goose-chase Walmart *spit* exclusive.

I snagged the Netflix one from Japan back when it came out. So both of these are passes for me.

Looking forward to seeing Seaspray now.

i don't think it was called the Netflix version in Japan though, right?
