Can we get ahead of the curve and just rename the thread to Bot Bots Megathread, because every Transformers toy that isn't a Bot Bot from now on will just be a waste of plastic.

Transformers: No Gift Receipt, Thanks, These BotBots Are For Me

Best of both worlds.

God drat, what a stupid loving toyline.





Where the gently caress do I preorder every single goddamned one of these things?




Edit: Oh man, I can fit 12 detolfs into the display space in my new basement.

So when exactly can we expect to start throwing out all these lovely masterpiece toys and replacing them with bot bots?

The more apt question is when do we get the Masterpiece BotBots?

Does not look similar except for having big heads. Proportions beyond that are much different. And lil formers could only do stiff standing figures and could not do all the crazy poo poo in these pictures.

I found him at Target last week. He's not great, should probably have just waited for the MPM.

Tabbing his truck sides together required the most force I have ever used on a transforming toy without breaking it.

Packing fragile stuff is super tedious. But I am so hype for this move. My current "nerd room" is 140 sq ft. The new one is 400. I don't even know what I'm going to do with all this space.

Keep in mind, I'm talking about the real deal, big miniature set with buildings and trees and poo poo.

It'd be pretty perfectly in scale with some Transformers too. Some times.

If you go with matchbox scale (1/64) you're in scale with diaclone and will do alright with transformers. I mean that's about as close to "common scale" as any other.

That's tricky with HO being 1/87 scale, but there actually are true 1/64 scale diorama models available now (S-Scale). Ah the wonders of the internet.

A lot of the Legion class stuff is roughly 1/72 scale if you're into that sort of thing, or at least the older lines that had "commanders" were.

Have a huge miniature train set thing, with elaborate city stuff around it. Populate it with my Godzillas and Transformers and Power Rangers, gently caress the scale, just have them all together. RoboCop riding atop ED209 chasing a train

And when you die, I will pay to see that in your family's memorial basement.

Edit Me and my wife already have plans for the giant train display house after the kids leave for college. It'll be like the whole upstairs. We want to move thru our house like railfan hamsters, popping up in the middle of themed rooms after a good crawl.

Good idea, but I kinda wish we got licensed stuff to-scale like them. I distinctly remember a transforming Pepsi can from the 80's that was bad but the concept was good, actual transforming thing that contained something else inside

or the cherry coke robot
