Tarkus 2
Actually I can. In fact he’s the best scout in the ROTF line (imo)

Why are we going back around this loop again? It's fine they're using different alts for classic characters. The whole point of the crossover is to draw in casuals as well as hardcores by mixing well known characters and vehicles.

Doesn't Sandstorm turn into a kinda dune buggy? Sureshot as well.
Optimax Prime
Can you think of any other Autobot that turns into a Dune Buggy?
RoadCaesar
Beachcomber?
… The pacifist?

I think this G2 version is something that keeps that GI Joe vibe and still works as a cool transformer that we naturally want to embrace as a G1 despite Beachcomber's repaint. One thing I will say is that you need to include a parrot with this figure if you do mirage whether it be in the G1 or G2 colors.
This got a flight stand but the Nemesis Space Ship and the Ark didn't get a flight stand. Come on man. Hasbro is being cheap by not giving us a proper flight stand and I know that nemesis had a split fin thing but that was lame since it distorted the space ship. A flight stand is for when the ship is in flight and moving. If they want to sell the left over stock of those nemesis space ship they should offer that for free via retailers given the fact that figure is a lot more than what Fort Max use to go for when it was released. Also why didn't we ever get the Grand Max U.S. release. Still waiting on it since the price was too high in the past for the Japanese version. Also waiting on the MetroTitan Figure as well. Any this play set reminds me when big toys were expected every year and reasonable enough that parents would buy it for their kids without thinking it's too much. Now we see silly gofund me stuff that are too expeensive for adults. smh.

This is what it should have been all along.

LOL, what? no. not even close.
mean, CHUG is shorter to type and all-encompassing…. and a great way to enjoy a frosty beverage.

I canceled mine. No way am I paying for this thing without a review. Megatron was a no-go, this one could be as well.

and yet we still have no movement on the Leagacy W3 Voyagers & Leader in the states. lame.

Yeah I got a notification from Pulse that mine’s getting ready to ship. This has been happening to me all week. Most of the non-TF stuff I preordered that was set to come out next year has either arrived or shipped out to me this week.
linkinparkirony
tomorrow…?
still not buying it unless it goes on sale.

I agree, but with the greens and yellows reversed in their positions

View attachment 29628971 Has it been brought up yet that this bears a remarkable resemblance to Cybertron Swindle?

If anyone ever wants to sell me their Stalker figure, which is the only part I am interested in, lmk.

You can say that about any legitimate criticism. Kids don’t care about a lot. Doesn’t really mean anything.
T-Hybrid
No they wouldn't. Because even kids tire of the same characters. Which is why they find ways to mix Bee and Prime throughout a diverse array of other characters.

It's a peculiar way of thinking about it… I'd also disagree.
Consider that the recent toy lines have been making heftier figures, standardized added articulation like ankle tilts, and are making all sorts of G1 friendly offerings that folks dub some figures"mini masterpiece" as they're that good…. Course these also come with increasing costs… But until the WFC trilogy figures weren't getting this sort of improved quality, accuracy, and articulation.
If they're just interested in cheapo plastic to sell kiddies… They'd make non-stop Bumblebee and Prime figures, and Cyberverse quality figures would be the norm… (No offense to those that enjoy that line, point is more so about the simplicity of the figures.)
The plastic *may* have been formulated to cut some corners… But the designs are such that they're catering to s collecting audience. Kids aren't going to care so much about how accurate Blaster is to his G1 boom box. Won't even know wtf that is, even.

You are, by and large, the exception. I guarantee you.
