    Man, my copy of Thrust was unceremoniously cancelled and I missed the window to reorder him, so he's the only one of the six main Seekers I don't have, and he also just so happens to be my favorite of the Conehead designs. However, with the SS86 Seeker on the horizon, it's not unrealistic to think that they'll milk that mold for all it's worth, and from what I've seen, while it's still not a completely accurate F-15, it' does appear to be somewhat better than the ER Seeker mold, partsforming stabs notwithstanding. I've lived without ER Thrust this long; I'm thinking I may just hold out for the inevitable SS86 variants. If I didn't know that the one on the right is the Studio Series figure, I'd swear it was one of their lesser toys for younger collectors. Compared to all the surface detail and greater number of paint apps to represent both OG toy and toon, the SS86 figure looks drab, the milky white plastic looks cheap, I'm not too crazy about how the feet and their hinges look, and the overall toonish plainness doesn't appeal. I missed the PO on Pulse, and maybe that was for the best, as right now I'm liking how my Netflix Soundwave looks better, crappy holdover arm kibble notwithstanding. For $60, I want something better. Once again, I wish Magic Square or New Age would release more of their figures in CHUG scale, as one or the other often creates a nigh perfect version of a character and I'd love to them available as options for my CHUG shelves. @mikeszekely I appreciate your writeup of Micronus Prime. I'm neither a UT fan nor an ardent fan of the greater TF lore as it has been presented in comics and other media, but there's just something creatively charming about this guy and the armor they cooked up for him. I concur that it's a cool play pattern and it elevates what could have been a relatively simplistic figure into something greater. My interest in the Primes has been tepid at best, as Alchemist is, to wit, the only one I've bought thus far, and I got him more for his resemblance to Prime Bulkhead than out of any interest in the character himself, mostly. He does have a neat look about him with his goofy steampunk goggles. I'm digressing, but, yeah, Micronus struck a chord with me when they revealed him in the fanstream. I wish there was just a pinch more complexity to the bike mode's transformation but given that the bike was a totally made-up thing to accentuate the principal figure, and at a deluxe price point no less, I shan't criticize too harshly. Kudos to Takara for thinking outside of the box, or three-dimensional disc as it were.

    Sweet. Thanks. Was about to pull the trigger on the 3rd party arms for more G1 accuracy but saw a lot of the grey plastic discolored now. I POd new soundwave at enteaerth but has anyone else had a problem with Amazon? I've seen it available about 4x. Every time I try to order it hangs and glitches until it's no longer available after a few minutes of trying.

    Solo Camping for Two actually continues into the fall season, so this past episode is not its penultimate.

    Thanks @jenius. Like many, for years & years now I have wanted the Shadow Beta for my collection. With CM's and Toynami never officially offering one, I went for it and made my own... worth it! Right now, it's linked up to a Shadow Fighter, later on I'm going to see if my CM's Pilot-less Dark Legioss will connect with the Beta.

    DanDaDan episode 24 has a bunch of different mecha anime references all crammed together thanks to the focus character being a sci-fi fan who uses nanomachines to create his own giant robot to fight the supernatural monster of the week. The visual design references a lot of Ultraman, GoLion, and Gundam with the giant robot Buddha having five cockpits and what are very obviously fin funnels. Some of his Called Attacks reference other mecha anime including Macross, like his Daedalus Attack at about 8 minutes in. (He even does Dai-Guard's infamously awful rocket punch.)

    Nate from the Transformers team put out a pic of Soundwave with a tape measure. I took a picture of Netflix Soundwave with a tape measure and tried to line it up. Not exact, but it looks like Soundwave might be bigger-er than I first guessed.

    @Thom Thank you! I've been adding stickers and some decals to the TREAD, she's looking pretty mean right now. I transformed it to Bomber mode and right now she's linked with a Shadow Fighter, I'll take some pics in the morning. Overall, the paint held up nicely during transformation.

    Next update, right now the official word for Rogue is "next Month." However, AoA Wolverine and Cyclops were both set for the 27th of September and now their official release date is "next month" too. If things hold that would probably make Wolvie/Cyke the 11th of October and Rogue on the 25th. But that's a heavily salted guess.

    Summer '25 is wrapping up... Betrothed to My Sister's Ex had a reasonably satisfying conclusion. Some good closure for the story after oh-so-much waffling with the evil parents getting their comeuppance for their various crimes. Secrets of the Silent Witch's penultimate episode is another good one. I decided to bite the bullet and buy the light novel to get more. Solo Camping for Two decided to try some actual character development for its penultimate episode, and it honestly fell pretty flat for me. Mainly because the protagonist has never really had any character traits beyond being an antisocial jerk whose only real interest seems to be driving into the wilderness to drink large amounts of cheap beer and eat canned food like a hobo. Dan da dan... y'know I've never figured out of it's meant to be DanDaDan or Dan Da Dan... are we really watching an Ultraman monster fight a giant robot Buddha with the Nu Gundam's fin funnels? You have to admire the audacity, if nothing else, even if it feels increasingly like the series is just throwing random sh*t at the wall to see what sticks. Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant had a predictably unremarkable ending. Not bad, but shockingly bland for a protagonist whose whole schtick is cooking. The Fall '25 simulcast lineup is being announced now too. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/seasonal-lineup/2025/9/17/fall-2025-anime-crunchyroll Still a LOT of generic-sounding isekai titles in the Fall '25 simulcast season lineup. A Gatherer's Adventure in Another World, A Wild Last Boss Appeared, Campfire Cooking in Another World S2, Dad is a Hero Mom is a Spirit I'm a Reincarnator, My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's, Tales of Wedding Rings S2, The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess, and The Fated Magical Princess. Color me surprised that that hot mess Tales of Wedding Rings got a second season. That was an open air tire fire of a story. There are some titles of considerable merit and interest though. A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace seems to be another case of the manga industry documentarizing itself, albeit with a lot less ecchi than last time. Let's Play, a series about a video game developer whose first-ever game release is derailed by a terrible review from a famous streamer. I really want to see where they go with that one. One Punch Man season 3 promises to be amusing, if nothing else. Spy x Family season 3... what can I say except "Yes, please and thank you" and doubtless "Please sir, may I have some more?" at the end of the season. Tojima Wants to be a Kamen Rider promises to be interesting too. It's the story of a lifelong Kamen Rider fanboy who, armed with a fairbooth Kamen Rider mask, sets out to fight crime. Phrasing is dead. I stopped cold seeing titles like L'il Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right, Pass the Monster Meat, and This Monster Wants to Eat Me. Maybe I just have a filthy mind. Actually, no... I definitely do... but still. Phrasing. That first one's description sounds like the center of a Venn diagram of Rosario+Vampire and Actually, I am... and the second sounds like a series about some relatives of Laios from Dungeon Meals with a couple who are connoisseurs of consuming fantasy monsters.

    Okay, see you!

    That’s a tough question to give a straight answer. If you go by the line art it works, but the pilot would be too small for animation, since the animation shows zentraedi as battroid height. But I think it will look great with the plamax kit, as long as you don’t open the hatch next to it.

    Nice looking dio @tekering. Good idea with the paper for metal. @F18LEGIOSS2 That brings back some nice Robotech* memories! *don't hate me, I as a kid when I watched it!! Good luck, @pengbuzz! That is a great looking ship scene! I remember loving that Alpha/Beta fighter team ups @505thAirborne. That's so cool. @MechTech Right! It's not a scoop without the scoop!

    all these wonderful hasegawas over the last few years...and i now live where i can get to akihabara or Leonardo in 20 minutes. Yet i cant justify buying them since i have such a large backlog of models =p. I really really really wish they would make a new 1/48.
  26. jenius
    Aww, reminds me of the oft teased Toynami... Glad you were able to make your own, looks good!

    A little something I've been working on.
  28. lochness
    Beautiful! They nailed it for me. It's exactly what I hoped for. Question for everybody, regarding scales, does the Hasegawa Rau 1/72 match well with the Plamax 1/72 battroid? I would love to do a diorama.
