It's always interesting to see the toys he really hates, though. He was really angry at the replacement CW hands, and he actually did a callback to how much he hated Flip N Change AoE Lockdown at one point. He does seem to spend much of his time not reviewing figures so much as making excuses for them, though, especially some of the less impressive third party stuff.

I dunno I mean the comics at this point are TO SELL TOYS, so sticking a brand new version of Soundwave in there and not having a toy to go along with it seems unlikely.

I know people are talking about this image, but  This is the same design but with slimmer proportions:  maybe the author of the bulkier image was inspired by CW prime's proportions. Also not every IDW character or design gets toys, I mean look at Cyclonus and Galvatron. That's not to say we won't get a CW Soundwave but it might be a more G1-ish robot design, like Megs. edit: If anything he looks more like Rook going by the altmode.

But yeah, it's pretty jarring how almost all the reviewers have basically become demonstrators at this point. Open with an ad for a store. Say nothing negative. Here is the figure. End with "It's a great toy!" or "Buy one today! CLICK BELOW! Like and subscribe!"

Sweet Christmas, Motormaster has arrived in Nowheresville Canada! To whom do I make the appropriate blood sacrifice? Now where do I get those custom hip ratchets? Jesus, these things move like 15 degrees a click. One click each out from vertical, and he can't support his own weight anymore. I've got him with one out and one vertical, looking like he's about to kick off a dance party.

Here Though I vaguely recall that he was working on some improved ones or something. Browsing thru his WIP stuff I found some addon parts to turn Classics/Gen Cyclonus into IDW Cyclonus (Samurai armor, new head, better hands, etc). Looks cool if properly done.

They've either been collectively referred to as the Cassette Bots, Tape Bots, or something related to the media format which is their alt mode. And we're getting a whole group of them. I mean they're not Minibots, Dinobots, Constructicons, Combaticons, all of which who's collective names are self explanatory and make reference to what they turn into.

Bah. Air raid is who I need, got Skydive & Firefly, not arsed about Alpha bravo, I was going to replace him with Quickslinger if I can get him at a decent price. Ebay seems to have gone bananas on him, I'm not paying £30 for a £15 toy.

The normality is why I use him as my default serious reviewer. That said, I still have no loving clue how he can get those Dino-Drac fun packs and like them, Loot crate and 1-Up box are both kind of bland, but holy crap it's not just a bunch of poo poo from the 80s that is still crap today.

So I went back 3 pages and everyone just talks about toys. How is the comic series doing? The last I read was Robots in Disguise and More than Meets the Eye up until 19 or 20, right before they went into some event...Dark Cybertron, I think. I really liked MTMTE -- did James Roberts continue on past the crossover?

Transformers is a toy line. People are going to talk about toys, because the purpose of the other media is To Sell Toys(though the movies have become their own thing). MTMTE is still great. RID was great too, not sure how I feel about the whole combiner wars thing but it's fine I guess

The seams are starting to show in MTMTE. I would post more about it but it just kind of makes me sad. James Roberts is slowly turning into Russell T. Davies and I don't mean pre-2006 Russell T. Davies.

We may be seeing the inevitable result of telling several years of stories without THE WAR in a universe originally created to specifically be about nothing but THE WAR. I'm not complaining; I think the current comics remain the best TF fiction yet - but you're right when you say the seams are showing.

I still quite like it, but it peaked at tyrest and we've been spinning the wheels since. I'm also really irritated that we were teased with the DJD and I've been reading each chapter wondering when the DJD are going to show up so that can be over with.

MTMTE: I'd like to see Grimlock and his new friends and FINALLY find out what happened to Scourge. Roberts can keep on doing what he's doing as far as I'm concerned. The dance party was... interesting. Current storyline shows promise. Ravage will probably play a large role. The Transformers: The Adventures of Thundercracker have been pretty good overall. Just caught up earlier today, the things I assumed about Devastator pretty much happened. So now we know the Deluxue toys for Ultra Prime I guess. Ironhide (Off Road) Sunstreaker (Breakdown) Mirage (Dragstrip) and Prowl (Dead End). I... don't know. I would like it to be MP Ratchet/Ironhide time.

There's a video review out for Titan Class Devastator... but it's like two hours and in Chinese Youtube with a weird intro (seems to be a commercial, I had it muted). You can skip around them if you want to: Part One with the Constructicons Part Two with the big dude himself For everything they sacrificed on the individual guys I'm sort of baffled that so many of them have ankle tilts, even if it's clever transformation process residue.

Both Break-neck and Quickslinger have much tighter hand pegs then Dead End and Firefly, yet that;s not a great thing. Neckbeard is still to loose and QS is much to tight now. Sigh. Necky did get better in other areas, so it's not a total wash, now to figure out who will be left off of Menasor... Also, Break-neck's neck joint was so tight, I thought I would break it. so bonus points for Irony, Hasbro. Now where's my retail release of Kup from Off-road?

Hasbro was supposed to be starting that system where retailers can order whatever they want in the cases, not just a pre-set assortment. If that's finally in place, it wouldn't surprise me if retailers are simply not ordering Armada Megs anymore due to his shelfwarming tendencies. drat things are everywhere here.

Until now my opinion of CW Devs was "decent, but I'm more than happy with my Green Giant" but honestly after seeing their transformations and how they combine by jumping ahead in weird chinese youtube I'm way more impressed, that's actually a lot of clever design tricks they used. I... I kinda want one now, it's not like there won't be a way to give Scrapper elbows in the first like, three months.
