I hope hasbro drops Kre-O this year and gives the transformer building set rights over to lego.

That Lego Dimensions game has an entire world based around 1980's Midway Arcades, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and apparently soon old lego series like M-Tron, Pirates and Castle.

We need a proper lego optimus prime that can play with videogame mans.

Ask them incredibly detailed questions about the sculpts of the Headmaster partners' chestplates and the coloring thereof. Be sure that no answer is good enough, no matter how carefully worded or informative.

Please provide a source for Lego Dimensions having M:TRON because that would just make my day. Especially since Lego said they would not revive M:TRON due to not putting magnets in anything anymore.

That's exactly why I am unsure if they'll include the combiner bits and bobs. Would they be worth getting if they don't combine? I haven't actually heard any bad things about the three current OS Throttlebots thus far.

Didn't all the combiner bits ship with the torso bot on the legit TBs? I seriously doubt they'd go to the trouble of finishing it and not allow it to combine.

We should sort something for TFCon 2016 in Chicago. I appreciate that's literally a year from now. Apparently there's going to be more space this time around, which is good, because 2014 felt like 3 shoeboxes put together and shoved into the basement of a hotel.

I will get the biggest suite and we can lewedly mis-transform combiners into the early morning, every goon needs to develop a taste for gin and local beer.

Is TFCon usually in the fall? The admission prices look pretty nice and all so if it's in Chicago, maybe I can hit and Botcon next year~ Chicago is only a 5 hour drive through Indiana for me and all.

Mark your calendars and start planning your vacation Transformers fans, TFcon USA returns to Chicago in 2016! The 2016 convention will be heading back to the Hyatt Regency O’Hare (where it was held this past year in 2014) on October 21-23, 2016 and feature a larger space than in 2014. Put in those requests off from work and start planning your trip to TFcon USA!

If you want some classic Space dudes, grab the Lego Ideas Exo-Suit before it's completely gone because the Green Space minifigs(never before made) in it are probably going to be like 30+ bucks each eventually and it's also a sweet-rear end set, I think amazon still has it for 28 bucks Clean your desk

Transformers Devastation really feels like an honest to god G1 episode, completely with as many original voices as they could get, including Dan Gilvezan as Bumblebee, aka the only likable Bumblebee. Last night, playing Devastation, it kind of reminded me just how much I love G1 and how indifferent I am to everything else transformers except for Beast Wars. I think I just liked Animated a lot at the time because it had a ton of G1 and Beast Wars fan service.

After a few years of the IDW comics being all dark and political and adult and all that, TF:Devastation being a 80s Saturday morning cartoon is kind of refreshing. I almost kind of want them to just go "gently caress it" and start making G1 episodes. Devastation is already practically that, just as a video game.

Just find someone dressed up as the 6th doctor and start making out with him. If the cops don't get involved it's Doctor What, because he read this post. The spectacle should draw the other goons, since they read this post.

As a bonus, that will be the stand in for an awkward hello, and you can get right into the discussions.



Perfect plan, unless you find someone else dressed up as the 6th doctor first.




I have questions:

A)Why is their hand sanitizer there?
B)Why did you open your Stunticons on someone else's desk?
C)Is it also someone else's house?
D)Why do you need hand sanitizer at a desk, especially if it is your own?

I will answer questions:

A) No idea, mom or dad put it there
B) Opened them on table next to desk, the one Menasor is standing on, figured I'd pose them on the family PC Desk
C) I don't think this is someone else's house...unless this is some kind of parallel universe. If so, poo poo.
D) I am going to guess to keep germs off keyboard? Again, no idea

As a small kid I used to wonder "man, the autobots always have Omega Supreme there just laying around, why don't they just tell him to go stomp the decepticons flat!" And then in animated when he becomes active for a while he goes and does exactly that. I still appreciate Animated because of stuff like that. He also did this in on issue of the Marvel comics.

Anyway how hard/fun is the game? My big brother used to watch TFs with me and he likes games but is a very casual gamer. Is it still enjoyable for a non tryhard?

On Normal it's easy enough to be boring. On Easy it practically plays itself. I'd say most casual players could handle Easy and Normal without much problem.
