The combined mode took the focus to the point that the individual robots were just generic dudes and the jet modes were laughable at best. But then, the earliest concepts for the characters we saw didn't even look like Transformers.

If they were sold as Rack and Ruin, yes. Unlikely though since their thing was being built into a combined body from damaged one. Cyberverse version where they just are conjoined twins who have a shared altmode is better execution than the original who can no longer transform.

you'll need more than a ball joint then. you'll need a decently long neck, which looks stupid on most robots. and to really look up, you'll need a hole gouged out in the back of the head for the balljoint shaft to go up into.

RotF Lockdown is a rare exception. Also Breakaway from that same era has a balljointed neck that he can't utilize unless you do a little disassembly and shave some of the plastic away from the inner canopy.

Well that's neat. I'm really enjoying him but his stickers are a bit scuffed up and I'm thinking of just taking them off and getting the toyhax set to replace them.

I really want to get the Tidal Wave repaint but I feel like that's not going to be cheap.

$30, I don't know if I would have paid much more than a modern voyager MSRP for him but I'm happy and I can't imagine a new one is coming any time soon.

I really like the little pivot that his head is on so he has an easier time looking around, that's a nice little feature compared to most TR figures.

There is no winning, but I put it on the ramp. Just feels more intended since it's the right width.

Dude, it's time to accept the facts here. Starscream clearly hijacked the Amazon truck as part of his latest scheme to dethrone Megatron and is currently en-route to the Deception base as we speak. You'll never hear from him again, especially when this plan backfires spectacularly (as usual).

Going, to post the last Hero X Generations Transformers comic. I'll be a pain in the ass since 4chan's new captch made posting from my PC impossible, but here I go.

Scorching Heat Showdown.

Going through volcanic terrain, Armordillo heads back to the Maximal Base while Snapper is in hot pursuit! He has vital information for Optimus Primal... when suddenly!

Megalligator is shaken by Convobat's appearance, it seems like Maximals have started making their own Avatars. SUDDENLY, someone mentions being dissapointed with their Avatar's performance. That someone, is MEGATRON! Just as he's about to kill Convobat, Optimus Primal arrives in the nick of time and decides to battle Megatron by himself.

Back at the Maximal base. Primal regrets he couldn't save Armordillo and praises him for his bravery and wonders what information was so important that Armordillo risked his life to bring to him.

The only real problem with the stickers on mine is that several of them go right up to a joint or hinge, meaning that transforming starts to unstick the corner of the sticker right away.

Optimus himself replaces all the original sticker detail with sculpted areas and tampos (except you can add a license plate/head lights to his chrome grill if you want), but bizarrely includes a sticker sheet that has all his original stickers anyway.

The trailer (on the C-01 toy colors version) however uses the same stickers as it always has and those have to be applied.

Interesting. For a very long time Classics Optimus was the end-all of Optimus toys, and probably still is for some people. An add-on armor set for the white Ultra Magnus deco essentially founded the third-party market, too. Given the limitations I still think City Commander is pretty impressive. Much more so than the recent Ultra Magnus Hasbro did. There's a charm to Classics OP that hasn't been replicated. The closest is maybe the new Reactivate one, but that one has its own issues. I don't own it though, it might be better than it looks.

You also have to remember what the mission statement of UT was narratively, anywho: only OP, Megs, Starscream and Jetfire resembled their G1 selves in any way in Armada/Micron Legend, and even then it was all only surface-level and they were deep reinterpretations or subversions of their personalities. The UT was basically Hasbro and Takara's first ever FULL new-universe reboot, so they wanted it to be meaningfully different, hence why the approach for old names was "what kind of character would this be fitting for in general, disconnected from G1 baggage as much as possible?"
That said Hasbro's Energon names in general were much worse on the whole, in their trademark-preserving-ness.

First off, that's subjective. They weren't trying to resemble old characters with the names they used though, they were applying old names and trademarks that usually fit the character and their vehicles. They were supposed to be new characters for new itterations of Transformers, not the old ones. I will never personally fault them for trying something new with old ideas, that includes names.

Ssssort of, but that's different. at first it was going to be a continuation of G1 where the old guys got new bodies, then it was a continuation of G1 where new guys homage their ancestors. it's not the same as making a new continuity and new characters with familiar names.

As >>10967421, it also gets confusing when you consider that the UT characters typically received their names during toy design, and the toy designers could be from Hasbro and from Takara. Much of Armada was Hasbro-designed, which's why those names feel "better" to me; but this might be me making up rules to justify myself, who knows lol.

>>10967442
The context doesn't really matter, but BW being so far-flung that it's different people definitely helps separate it from G1 narratively. But either way, the point is that the characters are unrelated to G1 and only reuse names in ways that would make sense or be fitting for the new character, with little regard to who exactly held that name before.

It is just me or those thingies are started to worst around last year?
I don't recalled ever see so many of them during the TR/CW era.

And the new BB shockwave got those in every one of his holes.

And how are those scraps even left in there in the first place? Do they not pre drill the hole before smashing the pin hence should be a clear cut?
Or the holes are not pre drilled and the holes were made when the pins going in?

Commemorative Series Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor and Encore G1 Megatron, both boxed and complete in excellent condition. I'm not super super into the original G1 toys so I'm not about to go collecting every release out there, but I do want some of the highlights and these two were at the very top of my list as the "best" releases of them in my opinion.

I really can see why people like the original Powermaster Optimus toy so much, he's just an absolute hefty beast that just feels fun to handle. Godbomber is kinda neat too since he's more uncommon to see, but he really is just a bunch of accessories that can vaguely partsform a trailer or robot. I have the MPG Ginrai preordered so it'll be super interesting to see how it compares to the original.

Megatron too for that matter, I haven't handled a whole lot of vintage toys but how heavy the die cast is always surprises me. He's a lot fiddlier than I anticipated but he'll mostly just be a counterpart to Missing Link Prime since I don't see him getting a new one at all.

Having stickers there means nothing, it's the same as having sculpted detail that you only see mid transformation. The thing is clearly designed so the legs can be in a more natural position for a reason.
And you can still partially open the hips to see them, but having those extended until the hips are as wide as the chest makes zero sense, looks like shit and also goes against what the instructions say.

I like it if they do what they did recently with Legacy Animated Prime, where the chest windows were clear (though painted) but they were additional parts glued into the chest. Completely clear panels that are wrapped around metal pins makes nervous, because regardless of hamhanding (though the way Hasbro makes figures now you don't even need ham hands to break shit) over time the plastic will shrink, but the metal will not and eventually those clear parts will crack apart.

Like he's really edgy. Dude closes off the mini with the lines "we kill them all." in regards to the TFs. Obv it's setting up the misunderstandings-into-team-up schtick they've always done, and in the story's context his jadedness isn't unwarranted at all, but it still feels like an odd direction to take his character. This is the main dude in GIJ, right? Can't help but shake the feeling "what if Captain America had said that" lmao.

So would it still be odd and kinda unfitting for him, then?
Not trying to say it's a good or bad thing if he is, mind you; just that I find it interesting.

Duke is basically 100% whitebread goody goody. To the point that it's one of the reasons the cartoon made Lady Jaye, Flint, and Shipwreck the main characters in the cartoon over Duke.

Skybound Duke is basically Hawk (who originally has Duke's face before it got recycled for Duke, forcing them to change Hawk from a blonde to a brunette and later make him a general). Hawk was always way more edgier and Duke is basically the team dad.

Fun design, the figure is solid and transformation pretty good. The gun is absolutely shit, though. I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to make the handle so damn short, because he can barely hold the thing and a slight bump can make it fall out of his hand.

The dude is 90% folding panels, and the ones on his back tend to clash quite a bit as you try transforming him. The plastic quality itself feels really cheap, and mine came with stressmarks around several pins right out of the box.
He also can't hold his gun - they made the peg that serves as the handle too short for some reason.

The Powerlink gimmick ruined the Autobot toys but there were still a handful of good designs among them, and the Decepticon were all good IMO. I’d buy new toys of Megatron, Starscream, Demolishor, Snow Cat, Shockblast, Rodimus, Landmine, Inferno, Jetfire, Scorponok and all the Terrorcons. Ditch the Powerlink gimmick of course.
But I think Starscream is the only one that has even a slight chance of getting a new toy and only because it would complete the UT Starscream trio.

Core class Megatron is great btw, everyone should own one.

It's weird. They seemingly designed for animation with S2 and S3 of Beast Wars, hence why they translated so well. Then BM comes along and that idea doesn't work anymore? Frankly I don't believe the official word. Until August 2000, the BM toys are seemingly toy first, animation second and none of them wouldn't translate to animation. If anything, I'd argue the toy Vehicons are superior to the animation models.

I never owned G1 Prime, and from my perspective, this entire package has a pure toyetic essence that is absent from recent Transformers. Every piece just comes together to form a wonderful play experience, even with the absence of the diaclone soldiers. Basically, it's just a toy being a toy, and nailing it. I love the added articulation, but it's really just icing on an otherwise brilliant cake

Missing Link Convoy is proof that we have to go back.

also, if I had a nickel for every fantastic little bot in pale green and yellow with red eyes and a winged alt mode that I've gotten lately, I'd have three nickels.

Hardshell in particular is a shining example of a bot with a ton of flaws, but every last one of them is completely offset by how fun and stylish he is.

i definitely dig both of these designs. I'd like to see them modified somewhat... the pincers should be on the forearms rather than inexplicably held in his hand (is he operating them like chopsticks?) and the head as a flip-up dish thing is kind of silly, but the rest of that one is basically perfect.
and the headformer would basically just benefit from some chnges in proportions. and not even that much. though I do think if he's actually going to become a big ol head, the head should be.. kind of planet-y? nice and round like G1 unicron's head.

I like it. I just hate how they chose to handle the deco options. It was a painful thing for me to skip and I might end up regretting doing so, but I just can't throw $120 on it. But it's still one of the cooler things Transformers has had in a very long time. I'd go so far as to say it's the best Optimus since MP10, even if the pretense makes for some annoying limitations in places. I wish they'd gone ever so slightly further with updating it.

If you mean you don't want to drop the money for the C-01 version with the trailer just to get the superior toy deco, I get it. I had the money to burn so I went for it, and the trailer is honestly kind of fun so I don't regret it.

it has that "entire playset in a single toy" vibe that we haven't seen since Titans Return. But really, the amber windows alone were enough for me to take the plunge.

Eh fuck it. I just bought one from Pulse because I know even with reissues this thing is going to be extremely expensive on the aftermarket. Still, charging $50 for better paint and the trailer is a little dickish. I imagine of all the Missing Link figures we get it's the only one where that will be an issue though, and the promise of more to come is what tipped me over the edge to buy it.

Yeah, but most of them won't corner people with specific deco/accessory combinations like Optimus. You're right though that it's possible that subsequent pricing could be worse than Optimus's, but at least it won't pressure people into buying shit they may not really care about. Bumblebee is just Bumblebee. Prowl is just Prowl.

Really, the flaws are all in his bot mode articulation. He has no neck or head, he has no wrists and his hands are in an awkward position, and his legs are saved by having ball jointed ankles, but are fucked up otherwise.

I love the overall style, though. The Prime aesthetic just works really well for bugs.

It is a profound shame that MP-10 never got a slavish toy deco. It took so much of its DNA from the original toy. Arguably, everything good about the MP line came from toy homage as opposed to sunbow wank.

I'm most curious about how they'll handle Megatron (and there's no way they won't do him). They have a no-more-gun policy in place for Megs, but given the nature of Missing Link, he needs to just be a modernized version of his G1 toy, which puts them in a predicament. If they're really making a line out of ML (or at least doing a handful of characters), skipping Megatron entirely to avoid the issue isn't going to be an option.

Asking for a waist joint in addition to that same waist joint splitting in half (for Hot Shot that is) on a roughly deluxe-voyager sized toy and with the budget Hasbro deals with these days it practically is impossible. If Armada Optimus Prime didn't get a waist joint in his core robot mode despite being a Commander I don't see the same happening for Hot Shot. Inferno is a maybe because he doesn't have to split his waist in half, Prowl doesn't even have a waist and Rodimus could.

yep, that;s pretty much what I was thinking of when typing that out. Also TFA soundwave reverting to a G1-esque tapedeck form when his big van body gets destroyed(Which I really wanna see in toy form one day). I think stuff like that would be a really cool solution to characters with weird mass-shifting stuff that's otherwise impossible to replicate in toy form, just give them a more size-appropriate altmode and then a Minicon version of their smaller altmode as a little buddy/backup body. Heck you could even take it further and have minimegs able to pilot different bodies based on all the different altmodes he's had, could be cool

maybe not, but a walther p38 is a pretty cool gun. It's no Colt 1911, but definitely the coolest exposed-barrel gun. If Starscream was modeled after Lupin III, it'd be perfect. he'd pick him up and pose all stylishly and then the gun would transform back into megatron (Pops) and smack him for fooling around.

I always wondered how in depth discussions have gotten with the designers regarding a modern Megatron that "accidentally" turns into a gun. Like sure, it's only advertised as going from robot to tank/helicopter/starfucker but wouldn't you know it, by finagling it juuuuust right, boom, gun mode.

Probably still too risky, but I'd imagine it's at least been brought up

I designed a 100% 86 MOVIE ACCURATE MEGATRON that solves the gun problem.

Chest and back open down so you can rotate the head inside the body as another one comes up (think of the original Waspinator toy), but the chest panel also rotates 180 degrees with a mushroom peg hidden inside that is connected to the top of the hinge that is used to open it, before closing it again.

Yes, you go from Megatron at the beginning of the movie to Megatron all banged and fucked up. I'm fucking a genious.

But in all seriousness, I actually would prefer some stupid shit like this than an alt mode that makes no sense for the character. At the very least it makes for a good novelty item and he can look like the best action figure of G1 Megatron ever.

Megatron's Gun Mode was a problem by 1992 and it's only gotten worse since Classics. Go look at Nerf guns. Walmart calls the shots and they clamped down on guns over 5 years ago. Classics colors aren't enough. Go look at the potential reissue Megatron. It was in Galvatron colors / G2 Hero Megatron and TRU said no. The Legends class gun is a no-go now since guns that small can be made. There is no way to actually make Megatron a gun and all the original toy's design really does is hinder future toys.

Hmm, i could sorta see it. Works better as a Drift than Prowl at least. I feel like Drift's position as the goofy over the top weeb OC got supplanted by Windblade for a bit, but now that she's not being pushed so hard I can see them coexisting, just have them play more into their niches, with Drift being more the wandering swordsman guy and Windblade playing more into the magical girl shtick

It's okay. Better than the others so far. There's just something about it that doesn't quite work for me; it's not just the feet. I think it's the way so much of the car hangs off his back. Much like the other WFC/FOC figures I appreciate the overall shape and feel of the vehicle mode, though. It's not a terrible toy, but I feel like it's benefiting a little too much from low standards.

Optimus got a big gray jetpack and Megatron got some beige added to him, while Ratchet got some white but a more vivid green in his new colorscheme. Film overall was going for a bleak tone, which could explain the increase in black.

i liked how decepticons seemed.. shall we say, 'unpainted' overall. The ones without earth modes especially. And then the dinobots continued that, the suggestion being that metal-color guys is their natural form, but they take on stuff when they get earth modes (also pretty sure 'protoform' optimus was all one color and had more alienish feet than after he scanned the truck?)
buuut it would be nice if they had a little more splashes of color. not too much, just some. The dinobots really felt inspired by Zoids Wild, and those guys had nicely balanced colors.

Huh. The mockup before molding has not just more areas painted, but the way the forearms were treated changed what they represent on Vector Prime. Since Jhiaxus has 5mm pegs, you could make attachments for there, although you would need to repaint the plastic on the forearms to look like the old forearms. Highest priority should be the shins though.
Vector Prime's transformation has an additional twist compared to Jhiaxus since his robot mode chest ends up on the underside of the vehicle instead. Because it ends up upside down compared to the original, you couldn't a more accurate robot mode by cutting that in half, with the closest just being unfolding the backpack.
Also it is funny looking at Jhiaxus again. There are a good number of yellow bits that are difficult to understand if they are discoloration or just sloppy paint applications based on their position.

You are some stupid fuckers. Turning into a gun that other bots use is a support role. It's for the second-rate and third-rate characters. Is it Gaogaigar that turns into a hammer for the other robots to use? Fuck no! It's GoldyMarg, the assist character, because the hero turning into a weapon for someone else is lame as hell. The same principle applies to villains. Megatron's the leader. It should be Starscream or Soundwave turning into a gun for HIM, not the other way around.

Even though I'm not thrilled that Vector Prime is a retooled Jihaxus because he's in Wave 3 and that the original toy still looks best for obvious reasons I gotta say they at least they remembered to give him some Mini-con pegs. And considering his wings can probably be positioned on top of his shoulders that would give him wing-mounted Mini-con shoulder weapons. Gonna try that out once I get him.

NTA, but nah - I liked how campy and cheesy he was in BW. It was a part of how fucked up he actually was - each Fuzor embodied a specific personality trait or ideal to the extreme end of the spectrum, with Quickstrike being obsessed with murder regardless of which side he was killing, and Silverbolt becoming obsessed with chivalry to others (again, with no regard to which side he was being chivalrous to, hence why he needed to 'save' Blackarachnia as his damsel in distress despite the fact that she repeatedly rejected him initially).
That even the other Maximals were often looking at him as if he were crazy was proof that his behavior wasn't considered normal even in the context of the series - there was something wrong in his head, and we didn't get to see what a 'fixed' version of him looked like until his spark ended up in a non-fucked up body in BM.

the specs state the grenade launcher, flamethrower, machine gun and a laser gun is part of an armament cluster, and if you look at the Tomahawk's abdomen, there are 2 clusters of those guns there, not to mention the 2 machine guns mounted on the head.

There's an argument to be made that Megatron wasn't even the best of the Micro Change gun toys, but I still like gun Megatron more than the alternatives. A tank or a jet or whatever works better in fiction though.

the browning guy definitely has his charm. Would have been interesting if these two had been the lackeys of the next logical leader (Soundwave) and you'd see him dual wielding them in battle.
or perhaps, if they were somehow co-leaders. I don't think I've ever seen a saturday morning show with two equal-partner co-leaders on the bad side. Kinda sends the wrong message if they're able to cooperate so well. There's jovial lackeys for sure, the Iagos of the world, and that computer guy from captain planet who assisted the hot chick with hair over one eye, but never like two equal dudes.

I think of them as sort of Three Stooges style trio. A brotherhood of bumbling bounty hunters, largely autobot aligned. When they chase down their target they tend to crash into each other and get all mashed together. The slapstick humor largely coming from them having to make due with whatever wacky configuration they find themselves in.

Basically the front hood panels are installed backwards, but you can just pop them off and flip them the other way. This makes the car mode's front end have a smaller gap in the squares near the window.

Well... no, they aren't, actually.
BW is a not a direct sequel to any particular G1 series. It forms its own G1 backstory by taking bits and pieces of both the G1 cartoon and Marvel comics, and mixes in some stuff it just makes up on its own. BW is canonically a separate universe from anything before it.

Something I really like about BW is its approach to that, tho; the way it tackles explicit continuity with G1 is indeed by taking from both, but also only taking elements that could *reasonably* be believed to exist in both, if via retcons. Sort of like how '84: Secrets and Lies showed Sparks existing in Marvel, despite the concept not existing back then - technically they could have existed all this time in-continuity, just that they coincidentally never mentioned them explicitly back then.

the wiki (asinine as it is, do not read the jAaM article if you don't want to get super fucking angry, and steer the fuck clear of its talk page) has this good concept of like, adjacent universes.. micro-universes.. so like, if the packaging on a beast wars toy says some shit that isn't canon to beast wars, it is its own wee canon.
BW is like that to G1. it has a lot of its own shit, but in fairness, G1 contradicts itself constantly.
>>10970166
what's amazing to me is they weren't sure at first if they wanted to or would be allowed to, and then when they did, they... didn't actually know any g1 lore, and had to sorta cobble it together. apparently their 'great war' was just conceived as a vague concept that turned out to fit G1 nicely.

It’s my go-to Optimus nowadays. At least until the 86 one gets released. I’m hoping the trailer will be compatible, since I’d imagine it would be more decked out on a commander class budget (I’m hoping it has as much unnecessary bullshit as MP44). The Volvo Optimus with a more advanced trailer would be the definitive Optimus in my eyes.

He near-missed a few times, but the situation seems ideal. Lots of recent Leader classes are Voyager height to accommodate their mechanics, so he could have both his inner and outer bodies fully transforming. Alternatively he could be a Commander to have a size advantage, but that seems crowded for combiners unless he is SS somehow.

BB Sunstreaker is good. It could use more paint and the paint that's there can be a bit shit in the usual Hasbro fashion (I wish they'd stop painting transparent plastic and go back to using transparent inserts more) but it's solid. The vehicle mode is a little dodgy from the side but the overall shape is nice and the transformation has some clever bits and is fun. I wouldn't mind it if it got a retool into somebody else.

Sideswipe is okay. The best of the GE WFC figures so far maybe, especially relative to the originals. If it's a sign of improvement I hope we get FOC stuff since the original line was such a mess, and I like that Optimus design in particular.

I liked it pretty much from the get-go, only thing I wasn't keen on was the landlord beige instead of grey, but I'm starting to warm up to it. It definitely looks a lot better in natural light too.

Conisdering that it is gimmick figure that is just to be an Ultra Magnus repaint who in turn is there because he is similar to Optimus Prime, probably many years away if you authentic looking versions of them. Maybe some retailer exclusive line could do recolors of Stunticons as the Turbomasters or Inferno as Pyro.

It is not going to be an accurate Clench, and unlikely to be an accurate Ultra Mangus to begin with. Thunderclash and Pyro are even farther off since they aren't being used for Swapticons, and just exist as popular European-region toys.

Because there were more Constructicons in the movie than were used in making Devastator (Rampage was a guy who fought and was killed by Bumblebee). Interestingly they haven't actually made Rampage yet despite being the one that actually transformed and had lines compared to the vehicle-only fodder for Devastator Scavenger.

Even Cybertronian alt modes can and have been better, though. I don't even mean "might as well be an Earth vehicle" modes like Siege Sideswipe's, but figures like the Bumblebee movie toys or WFC/FOC alt modes. This Optimus just has his arms hanging from the sides with exposed fists and very little effort put into the back of the truck in general. It's still tolerable but it ain't great.

>Why does he have two options for one of his limbs?
The Constructicons in Bayverse are generics. There isn't just one cement mixer guy or one excavator guy, there's multiple of them. Most body types used the same colour scheme, but some didn't.

Two guys turned into a large excavator:
- Demolishor, the white one at the start of the movie in China. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTCEckwafU4)
- Scavenger, the red one that combined into Devastator. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u5CTkgJVgA)

Two guys turned into a bulldozer:
- Rampage, the red one that fought Bumblebee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flsyH12YdSQ)
- Skipjack, the yellow one that combined into Devastator.

For the toys, some colours and names got switched around over the years. The Studio Series Constructicons made both Rampage and Skipjack to give people the option of owning the guy Bumblebee fought or having a (more) screen accurate Devastator.

I see zero reason to get him when the new version is so great. Well his missile actually fires, so there's that. and has that fun string so you can make him hang from it like he's climbing...
but i mean, his hands are molded to be hollow when facing the way they typically face, so..

They did for 20th anniv, I should have gotten him instead of Dinobot, but I still have no other Dinobot so maybe it worked out.
But yeah, his actual grappling hook that functions in both modes looks like it would be really really fun.

It's where he can keep his drinks, or evil plans.

The base toy is a little mediocre without the combining gimmick. Outside the Super mode I've always thought PMOP was a little underwhelming with the whole face of the truck on the robot back and the conspicuous diaper.

there's another hurdle with PR which is that, ideally, you want the monsters to be able to face both the rangers and the zords... but zords work best at a wayyy larger size. Like even 1:6 scale figures would seem a little shrimpy compared to how big the zords oughtta be. So what do you do, make two sizes of the monster characters? or just leave the zords with almost nobody to fight?

Third party. A third party sculpted the heads for the Fun Pub-assciociated releases.
"Third party" does not automatically mean "unofficial". It simply means someone other than the primary producer is making the product. There are official third party Transformers products, made under license from Hasbro, such as the Flame Toys model kits.
Technically, nearly all of Transformers fiction is third party.

This was an issue with a lot of the later botcon toys. Mismatched/wonky heads
Really making Botcon characters variations of existing ones was a mistake. I'm sure they sold better because now you NEEDED a Botcon set to complete a collection, but steadily Classics/Generations made it unnecessary. Just doing redecoes and making them new characters felt more special. I don't remember what was the Botcon exclusive set in 2011 but I remember all the 90's ones even though I only knew of them initially as a kid in the 2000's looking them up online.

They didn't. Some of the FunPub guys in charge of Botcon openly admit something went terribly wrong somewhere along the way with this figure. A lot of the Botcon/Club figures were great, but for whatever reason, multiple notable ones had new tooling for heads that turned out bad (ie: Metalhawk, Punch/Counterpunch, Tigatron here and his mold-mate as Ravage), which they at least acknowledge. But they probably should've offered this figure at a steep discount because of it.

Yes, and? If you don't already own either of her Botcon exclusive versions, there's really no reason not to - it's not like we're getting another toy of her any time soon.

And no one wants to buy SG Flamewar because of Fireglide driving up the price
Also the mold isn't very popular

If He-Man collars with Transformers, I wonder what they’ll make?

While MOTU is famously known, the vehicles weren’t iconic to the point memorable. Like a Thunder Tank or Party Wagon/Turtle Van.

Flamewar stocks are going up, so she will probably be in a movie or tv show within four years.

Seems like a bad idea. Hot Wheels is more popular and compatible with Transformers since it is about cars.

NTA, but you know they used to literally give specific Botcon exclusives to kids who walked in, I had my parents order imports for me online off BBTS(yes I know) and other sites. Yeah they were expensive but so were video games.
Hell I buy MP TFs for my nephew as Bday gifts.

Haha, I’ll confess I wasn’t being that creative, just experimenting with whatever free-standing poses I could pull off - I didn’t think about the fact that his other head makes for a funny alternate robot until you said.
>is the blue one japanese? I can't decide which i like better
It is! …and neither can I, lol. The I prefer the purple colour scheme but both the blue plastic and blue paint are prettier in hand.
>that said, the disk launching thing does kinda get in the way and is not necessary or right for a mantis.
They are random, but at least they’re both fun and removeable, and anything that lets a character tell his enemies to Suck My Disk is a win in my book.

Good to know, gen1 stuff are little hard to look up.
I also did some searching and apparently gen3 has a new 'Butterclaw' crab.
Still not sure what to do about a mini-Rattrap.
Maybe I should try finding a Silverbolt too since Bakugan seems to like doing made-up creatures.

sure but once you remove the disc, he has big half-circle sickles instead of big cool gnarly spiky blades... gimmicks are always give and take.
