Oh yeah, I forgot, RID is the sequel to Prime, which was supposed to somehow be in the same genre as War for Cybetron. Interesting way of calling back to that.

I kind of feel these are a step down from the wacky designs they had earlier in the show. Nothing can top the crab car in my heart.

The Crab Car just received his first Warrior toy recently, though. As did two different versions of the Skorponok mold.

Bludgeon looks amazing.

No part of the show is actually good.

making up original characters that are all bizarre different combinations of animal robot and vehicle was imo very good, even if their characterizations were basically "what funny accent does this one speak in".

it gets really tiring that everything must be g1 over and loving over again.

I saw a shitload of Paralon's at TRUs in Illinois. Skorp has popped up at Meijer (saw three today when I got Fracture). Is Bisk an exclusive?

I don't think there technically is a main line

Also a lot of people don't consider movie and post as G1. The new Astrotrain probably makes those people weep salt.

You're probably right, I'm just used to everyone calling the "generations" and associated sublines the "mainline". gently caress them though Astrotrain rocks. Can't wait to see Blitzy and Octane too! I just wish I had some money now.

Was the machinima thing that terrible? Guess I don't need to bother then.

Well Paralon is just a repaint of Skorp so unless you need him to be purple the mold will be available. I need to pick up a Megatronus and Thunderhoof and I think I'll have every warrior class bot.

MP-36 looks better than any 3P 'tron so far.
The more I see of it the less I like it. From the front it looks great, but any other angle makes him look like a panely mess. Look how hollow his arms are. (I do love how happy he looks to be flying though)


Then his gun mode has the back of his head sticking out the bottom, and his arms don't line up with his chest.


And on top of that he's more expensive than any other Masterpiece figure since MP10, even Ultra Magnus, who's a bigger figure. I want to support the Masterpiece line, but it's getting to be a hard sell...

Anime-Export's got MP-36 for $154. They also just put up a bunch of reissues, including Soundwave, MP-10, Emperor Starscream, and the cassettes. Shame there's no all-in-one like the american soundwave though.

That's what really irks me about his gun mode, the way it doesn't line up there just stands out so much. I do like the figure otherwise, but I wish it had come out during the MP-10 aesthetic era and not the more cartoonish look they're going for now.

So Brainstorm was surprisingly easy to acquire after all. I didn't even realize Walgreens had an online store. Pretty great figure. It helps that it's based on what was already a pretty nice mold.

Also got Monkeypiece Optimus Primal yesterday. The back of the legs in gorilla form are kinda a bummer but I think the figure overall is pretty great.

Some Amazon seller had the next wave of Titan Masters for $22 shipped so I pulled the trigger on those, saves me the effort of driving around looking for them. All the major Etailers have Liokaiser up but I'm holding out to see if Diamond will stock it. And my MP Primal shipped! Wheeeee!
