    Don’t put that kind of evil on us! Miss Houquet will not be pleased!

    Sentinel’s having internal discussions about pink vs. red. Given that the Zeta is scheduled for a January 2021 release, I wouldn’t expect to see painted prototype pics of the Houquet ride armor until later this year at the earliest.

    I’d be an oddball too. I’ve already got two of the blue Betas, so I’d only be in for a Sentinel red Tread for some display variety. Passed on the Sentinel Eta Legioss, but have the Zeta in preorder. Its solid red is different from the other variants and the little variation with the gun is a nice touch. Like I said, I’m a bit of an oddball outlier.

    The hot moms or the Trooper?

    ^^That’s kinda what I was driving about: lot of the backstory was told to us instead of shown. Not sure if a billion flashbacks or all the backstory-filled dialogue (that they decided to go with) would have been the better option.

    There’s the potential for yellowing of the plastics. Given that the YF-19 is already kinda beige or cream colored though, it may not be that noticeable.

    Think they got enough pics of Faye in there? Sticking with the 90’s theme:

    Depicting Houquet as impossibly large?! Why they gotta give her body image issues?!11!!?? #QuitFuke-ingWithHouquet I wonder if Sentinel’s solution will be seating the pilot further back into the Tread’s body or have the pilot lie on his/her stomach.
  9. Mog
    Is this the pilot from the Evolution Toys’ Legioss?

    Honestly, the only upcoming movie I’d remotely consider plopping more money for is Tenet. The rest I can wait until they get streamed for us unwashed masses.

    ^^To paraphrase 2001: My Lord; it’s full of Valks!

    Well, considering how they kept raising the prices for their theme parks and people still kept getting annual passes . . . Personally, I don’t think there’s too many movies I’d pay an extra premium for (maybe the next Spider-Man, if they somehow add in Netflix Daredevil into that story). But considering how some of their content is currently delayed (looking at you, MCU series), I don’t think they want to piss off the natives too much.

    There’s bits of Beast Wars that are pretty up there with the movie. [Runs for cover from the imminent Monkey vs Truck flame war] Regarding this latest series, I still wanna reserve judgment until I watch next season. They did some nice homages (First scene being Wheeljack and Bumblebee searching for energon), and added some interesting twists (Bee not being all-in for the cause. Prime still learning on the job). But I’m curious how those not too familiar with Transformer lore felt about the series. Were they able to follow along about the backstory between Prime and Megatron? What about the Leadership Matrix, the Allspark, and the Alpha Trion Protocols? One criticism of some movies is that they expect you to know all the backstory or details from some supplementary material or from previously knowing the source material (e.g., They mention it in more detail in the original books.”). Just curious if the casual fan gets that same impression.

    This is Hasbro we’re talking about; we have about a decade’s worth of evidence that they’ve become horrible at timing their toy releases with media, movie, and TV show tie-ins.

    Pour out some Quaker Oats for the man. Always thought he was much older back in the 1980's.

    But look at Houquet’s facial expression: she looks sad to be wearing that pink armor. Mobilize the Houquet Rouge! #QuitFuke-ingWithHouquet
  17. Mog
    You gonna have one for Gerwalk Attacker mode too :

    Regarding Variation No. 385,897,577 of Cobra Commander, I guess he’s infringing on Destro’s black, red, and gold color scheme now.
  19. Mog
    No clue, but there’s only a few more well-known female Joes that would be available for them to do: * Covergirl; * Jinx (so they could hit the Asian and sexy ninja niches); and * Zarana (for the punk elements). There’s a couple other more obscure ones, but those are really the only well known ones left.
  20. Mog
    Yup. Not sure if the missing mud guard is something they just left off for now, like how the figure is missing the cloth inserts. Plus, the hand guards (that cover up the shoulders) angle a little differently in the combined mode. In regards to color, I could accept a faded pink that could pass for red, if you look at it funny. But really, Houquet’s always had a red theme, even with her civilian clothes. I hope Sentinel is listening and doesn’t cause us to start a cranky “Houquet Rouge” crew.
  21. Mog
    The key thing to remember is that the pics where Houquet and the bike are separate are the earlier prototype pics. The pics where the two are combined are the more recent updated prototype from this past January. The key improvement that I like is that the legs are more tapered and feminine on the updated prototype.
  22. Mog
    So leaving off the whole hot pink vs. red issue, how many folks here would be willing to buy Houquet’s Ride Armor, based on the last updated prototype we saw? Based on that last prototype, I’d be absolutely down to get one.
  23. Mog
    With the SOC Dairugger/Vehicle Voltron, I recall there was some sort of lock where they couldn’t fulfill the pre-order once you input a US address on Amazon.jp. Considering that didn’t happen with the Zeta, I’m assuming we’re good to go.
  24. Mog
    How much did Hasbro pay DC to borrow the design of Batman’s gauntlets?
  25. Mog
    Yeah, it’s kinda how I look at Yellow’s Ride Armor: I wish it was a lighter blue, so you could see the black MB markings on the shoulder. But it’s not a deal-breaker. I’d prefer a more consistent red throughout the Zeta. But it didn’t stop me from preordering.
