    I agree it's a strong liklihood that MW Starscream will be a repainted Skyquake, which makes me think, with a little retooling and coloring Animated Optimus Prime could make a decent MW Optimus Prime. When I think back to characters like Alpha Bravo and Breakaway, I do recall that Breakaway was both in the ROTF lineup as a decepticon plane and I believe was also a Machine Wars character as a repaint of Lasercycle. Alpha Bravo though, yeah combiner wars will most likely be an autobot Vortex repaint....Skyguard Aerial Bot. But with Takara's G2 Menasor in the target sights Hasbro has got to hurry the hell up with their variant. I chose not to order the T-Spark set cause of price and that some were requiring deposits. I was out and about this morning at two walmarts and they're crammed with Junkions, Airachnids, Orion Pax, Dev. Bumblebee and Blast Offs. That was sort of it....was a little bummed out by it.

    nothing says celebrate your birthday like having your first pew pew. I remember when my grand daddy plopped me on his knee and he said, "My grandson, my least favorite. That you may be, but on this auspicious day of your continued existence I felt there was nothing better than for you to have your first 9 mil. Wait how old are you?" "5 Grandpa" "yeah close enough." no that didn't happen, but still. .......Like this is not a good idea lol It wasn't a good idea 40 years ago, this isn't a good idea now.

    Anyone had any experience in these deformation type of toys? I'd almost say these are like 4th party or something along those lines. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FXMD74JC/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0FXMD74JC&pd_rd_w=lw2Bf&content-id=amzn1.sym.953c7d66-4120-4d22-a777-f19dbfa69309&pf_rd_p=953c7d66-4120-4d22-a777-f19dbfa69309&pf_rd_r=5X01Y9MAHB7NZKDA0CFF&pd_rd_wg=erZwC&pd_rd_r=3178e482-eddc-4331-9329-663b3ae605fa&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWwy It's kind of tempting seeing how I don't have any Predaking combiner and it reminds me of, was it Mastermind's Predaking some years back? I just dunno though if it'll work better for coreclass or for generations....most likely core.

    bummer, kind of short....

    I'm liking this retro style of design, it's very welcomed.

    I took notice th at Takara is now doing the gift box set for G2 Stunticons and man, that's frustrating. We're 2 characters short of finishing the series and it's been what? well over 2 years now? Rather inexcusable time table in my opinion, I get they wanna get other stuff out there but it doesn't take much when you already got a mold and just need to alter color tones, it's just BS to me. It's also feeling like a waste of money and that I may be better off just trying to order this gift set....with any luck it'll be a superior quality over some of the flubs that Hasbro has been making with their releases and the QC issues that continuously pop up on their new releases. It's really making me fall out of love with transformer collecting big time.

    I’m gonna miss him. I’m placing bets though, I think Stallone will be the last between him, Arnold and Van Dam.

    You know what I thought was better than this trailer? Steven Speilberg's TAKEN mini series.

    I've been reading a slew of things wrong with this release from mismatched paint, broken legs, disintegrating tabs, loose joints, chipped/scraped paint, stress markings. There's been a lot of talk that Hasbro is really dropping the ball with their releases.

    went to Target this morning, picked up Big Convoy and was surprised they had him....my target isn't exactly well known for carrying good stuff and it's just piled with Megatron and Optimus gamer editions like it's the style. Robot mode, neat looking, but a big space eater I feel. Beast Mode, cool looking but pretty much zero articulation. Damn shame they didn't make him a bigger class like Commander or something so he'd size up better with Magmatron, that's just wrong to me....it's like having ol' G1 Optimus Prime paired up with G2 tank Megatron, it just doesn't work.

    He's incognito 😛

    not gonna lie, I thought he died forever and a decade ago. Theh last movie Ic an even th ink of seeing him in was The 6th Day.

    Matrix needs a chain. That's an easy mod! I think it will probably be a preorder. Astrotrain looks better now that we see the PROPER Robot mode achieved with a neat little G1 figure touch, also adding those train linkages moving while the vehicle mode rolls....that's cool. Would I buy it? hm.........that's hard. It looks better now that we see it in all its light, but I still can't say 100% I'd want it. Kranx....gosh, it's hard for me to justify with their current pricing to get 1 time shown characters. Like I never bought Alpha Trion in any of his releases and I dunno if I'd bother with Kranx. I think he's cool, it's great he gets an actual figure but the jet mode is such a cobbled together thing that I don't think I'm feeling it. Of course, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker again, I already got them, I really don't see a point in getting any others. Not to mention WFC Wheeljack released forever ago still looks better in my opinion. The SS86 and those before hand just are lacking in details for me.

    I had a pretty good day of a light hunt. I took advantage of Target's 30% sale and got Blastoff and Quickstrike. Sadly that sale doesn't extend to the other figures like Twinmill and Bone....crusher....okay. no, this is Sizzle no way I'm gonna call this autobot and Autobot, this is such a Decepticon. Quickstrike is rather fun....the glittery blue on him is nice, and his transformation is rather fun for a hick soundin, roid fuelin knockoff of what should have been Scorpinok. Just always seemed odd to me when I was a kid, you kill off Scorpinok but then you get a similar looking character who's a fuzor/transmetal. Anywho, he's fun, his joints are stupid tight. Blastoff is the second encounter of the Comabticon's I've come across and I rather regret not buying Brawl when I had the chance and have only seen out in the wild ONE TIME. But he's rather nice looking and I think well done. Now I need to find Brawl and Vortex.....which be easier to find in one location rather than separate so that's a tough order.

    I'm reading a lot of hatred over SS86 Astrotrain. Infact if you hit Reddit you'll see almost every hour the last couple of days someone has been posting images about how mistransformed the promo images have been, then when new images come in that's a little better, it's still supposedly mistransformed even further but fixed a couple of the gripes. But it seems a ton are in agreement the price tag and what we're getting just doesn't match up well and making others think they will either keep their WFC variant or Headmaster. I for one stayed with my Headmaster but rarely ever saw the WFC which I thought was a nicer figure at the time. As for this SS86 Astrotrain, I'm not impressed by it, he seems to be overall just a hard character to design as a physical toy. His robot mode is a bit of a mishmash of details with really long heels on him which I just despise when I see stuff like that. Overall just his legs are terrible looking. And then the torso area we can't seem to see what's going on cause every image is still mistransformed one way or another. Shockwave is gonna be a total pass, I'm fine with the WFC release, I don't need another one for a brighter purple. I have zero need for ANOTHER Wheeljack let alone a 3rd release of Sunstreaker. I'm actually surprised we haven't gotten a chest blown out Wheeljack yet. I passed on TC so I'll pass on SW as well.....the biggest reason is due to the quality of plastic people are reporting on TC from yellowing significantly to stress marks and even full on breakage. That's rather sad.....on a black figure like SW it's just gonna be worse on the stress. So far, the only thing I see that might be worth getting would be the Matrix...and I can just go and print my own if I really want too.....

    Did...........Did Yoshi just **** out an egg?!

    yeah that was like "Wait what?" Sounds like she may have died from a sudden illness. I know she had some health issues that her internal organs were not in their proper locations. I don't know if that was something to do with her passing. But she's gonna be missed. Means we won't be seeing any future reunions with Home Alone movies, and well, Her character already passed on in Beetlejuice so there's that.

    man.....July. That's a bummer.

    I had one of the fries but was more of a dinosaur or something, the chicken nuggets, the big mac, the icecream cone and the shake. I would def like to try and get them again, I don't think I have them anymore. These and the Mac at Night figures were found memories for me back then.

    holy crap, I rather want those mcdonald transformers....it's been forever since they did this.
  22. Hikuro
    Gears is still showing sold out right now on amazon. But appreciate it.
  23. Hikuro
    Well I for one am looking forward to it. Buddy and I watched the trailer and I think he was actually more excited over it than I was.
  24. Hikuro
    Wasn't she stepping down but also taking on a producer role either within the company or the industry overall?

    I think of my Season 1 and Season 2 Autobot cast, I'm really only missing Swoop and Gears.........and everywhere I look they want an astronomical amount of money. I guess technically Skids, but I really don't count him as existing due to his 3 seconds of show time he's ever had. My Season 1 and 2 Decepticon cast I believe I'm just missing Rumble (blue......he's ALWAYS BEEN BLUE!) again, Astronomical price. Well I mean there's the new combaticon set but I'm not really counting them cause they're just to out of my price range and I still have combiner wars, and they're decent. Sadly even going to top tier places like Toy Dojo, I come up massively short.
