    Screw this, they should make a movie out of Metal Wolf Chaos instead.

    Genesis does! Sixteen-bit tactical espionage action. Can't do this on Nintendo! "Ummm, actually, that's an 8-bit game. Like, I'm pretty sure you're running modified MSX code on the Genesis Z80. And we did do this on Nintendo literally decades ago." Genesis does! What Nintendon't.

    I'm pretty sure everything's an Optimus Prime because they sell more that way. There's people who have Optimus-only collections, and will buy any random thing that says Optimus Prime on the box but nothing else. I still think Basara should cross up with Armada Starscream, who is already 3/4s of a Fire Valkyrie. He even has a reasonable approximation of a sound booster pack as a character-specific gimmick! Failing that, Nekkimus Prime should be Rodimus-based, not Optimus-based. Especially if he's getting a Space Winnebago trailer.

    They learned A lesson. Prince Adam is in this, instead of just He-Man.

    And every last one of them was brought to Sol by Kamjin, making him the most annoying troll in Earth history! ... Or not.

    That headline leaves out the most important part. "...as well as Steam and Mega Drive" Genesis does!

    Heck yeah! No rendered pixels at all, just AI estimates everywhere!

    That's a more boring explanation.

    Oh yeah, that sounds about right. It is actually hilarious they provide an option for weeks between searches.

    As a long-suffering fan of the original Lunar games... folks have no idea how true this is. You think you want a remake until it happens, misses the point and every adjacent point along the way, and effectively erases the original in the process. I JUST WANT A NEW COPY OF THE SILVER STAR, GAME ARTS. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

    It occurs to me this is probably a direct response to Space War 1, and what we learned about the history of the galaxy at large and Earth's aggressors. The tale of the zentradi and the protoculture stands as a very large warning sign that has "don't make custom-engineered supersoldiers" written very large and in an awful lot of blood.

    And the cynic in me says it'll be sponsored by GM. I hope you like Outrun in a Camaro.

    If we seed the puffy white clouds with enough nitroglycerine, anything is possible!

    I feel like making Magnus work more like Powermaster Prime, with a truck-lump core, is a better compromise than just throwing an Albino Prime out there because engineering is hard and repaints are cheap. Minimus Ambus isn't Ultra Magnus. I guess we'll see how TakaraTomy feels about it.

    Yeah, I don't see Starscream et al getting the Missing Link treatment, because as much as they'd love to(one mold with six color schemes is WAY more profitable than six molds) it just doesn't seem possible to do the arms. But I've been wrong before, and TT has a financial interest in making it work.

    Personally, I'd like a Missing Link Tracks, as he's one of my few childhood Transformers that didn't survive and also one that turns into an awesome flying car.

    Oh, yeah, it was definitely a dumb thing in a dumb cartoon. One might say it was less coronation and more bad comedy. But really, the entire franchise is dumb and goofy, so I just embrace it for what it is. The fact that half the Constructicons don't even have mouths makes the trumpets that much funnier to me.
  18. JB0
    I don't usually care much for "that one thing from that one episode" goes, but I love that they included his trumpet. And even chromed it! God yes. I love that on every toy it exists on, going back to when I was a wee laddie taking Slag into the bathtub with me(there's reasons my childhood Slag looks rough today).

    I gotta say, "forged in the heart of a supernova" is about as credible an origin as you get for an exotic material with extraspatial properties. Everything else about them beggars the imagination, I'm willing to accept they twist spacetime itself into knots and drill holes through it.

    Is Mylene truly the strongest character in the franchise? Signs point to yes!
  21. JB0
    It kinda gives me Marvel #1 Cover vibes. I saw someone saying it's based on some of the Studio Ox illustrations.

    Man, I really like this Optibotimus. I probably won't get him, but I dig him nonetheless. ... Mmmm, but that metal axe body may push me over the edge.

    I mean... honestly, the splash of gold on the legs goes a long way towards making them look finished. (I did notice they're the wrong legs entirely, but they look so much better!) The torso's still just completely devoid of any detail at all, though. It really does look to me like someone forgot to put the stickers on. Unrelatedly, it isn't anyone's fault or any sort of actual deficiency, but I can't see that head as anything other than Leader-One with a fake tan.
  24. JB0
    Some of them. I will say that the brand's current obsession with toon-accuracy saves me a lot of money, because they're putting out a lot of toys that to me are hideously deformed or just straight-up unfinished. Maybe Slingshot's robot mode will look good after the stickers are applied. I can't imagine something that barren is actually the final appearance anyone wants.

    Siege Shockwave was actually really good. But as a Studio 86 design he's got far too much molded detail.
