Ohhhh nice. I was on the fence about Mr Magnificence when he first came out, but for £40 I physically can't stop myself picking him up.

UK goons! House of Fraser is doing half price preorders, due mid-July, on a bunch of Earthrise dudes including Skylynx (£40!) Optimus (£24!) and a few more!

Has anyone read the IDW First Strike comics that created a shared universe with Transformers, G.I. Joe, MASK, ROM, and Micronauts? Any good? I really like Christos Gage's writing on G.I. Joe, and I noticed he wrote some of that.

The_Other posted:I know this thread is mainly used to talk about the Transformers toys, but did anyone else read the Transformers / Back to the Future mini-series that eneded last week? I thought it was pretty good, as one online review commented, it had the look an feel of a Saturday morning cartoon. The plot is pretty basic, the Decepticons use Doc Brown's time machine to make sure the Autobots don't awaken and thus are able to take over the Earth. It's up to Doc, Marty, and the remaining Autobots (which includes the new DeLorean Transformer, Gigawatt) to stop them (the Transformers wiki has a more detailed synopsis). I didn’t read the TF/BttF crossover, but I did read the TF/Terminator one. It was actually pretty neat.

Comfortador posted:Probably one of the only times I'll ever say this. gently caress YOU UK GOONS! (I want Skylynx and was never going to pay 80) every time I see a UK store with full shelves I get annoyed cause the ones out here in the midwest have like half a case of the current waves from each of the different waves out on the shelves, maybe. And usually not the current waves.

UK stores are a very mixed bag though. they seem to send the exact same amount of toys to each store, regardless of location or store size. so a toyshop in the middle of nowhere will have packed shelves, while all the shops in birmingham town centre (the UKs second largest city) will all be picked bare within a day. the branch of The Entertainer in the big shopping centre here has a stock made up seemingly entirely of that bayverse thundercracker toy. i have one and hes nice, but i would like to be able to buy some of the non bay toys in person.

Yeah, the Guildford branch had him shelfwarming like crazy too. I got him at about RRP and watched him drop a fiver at a time over the next few months until he was like £12 or something at one point. Probably still in stock there even.

It had a pretty neat concept though and I did love Watchtower I preferred the Terminator cross over.

did anyone ever make a good toy of that super megatron concept art from uh whatever it was from? i saw it in one of those gavin spence videos and i thought it looked cool. also i have fewer megatrons than i do optimuses and to me, as a staunch decepticon fan, that will not do

The Beast Wars comic continues to be really solid, although this issue is way more just rehashing the pilot episodes than the last few.

I actually really like the art, it's very stylised and cartoony but I think it gives the bots a lot of character, especially the new characters.

Gaz-L posted:The Beast Wars comic continues to be really solid, although this issue is way more just rehashing the pilot episodes than the last few. I kinda like it. I didn’t like the art at first but it’s growing on me and I do like some of the expressions. It’s had a bunch of gems in the lines department that feel exactly like the original beast wars characters. But I dislike how close it currently still hews to the original with the only original addition so far being Nyx and that predacon who’s had 0 part. This currently makes it feel a bit like a self insert fanfic. With Nyx being the insert. Her being the reason fan favorite Dinobot switches sides didn’t help. But it’s only 5 chapters in so that’s not really fair to say.  I look forward to seeing what’s going to happen next. I read on a different forum it’s supposed to diverge more from the original in the upcoming chapters.

Hasbro not putting blast effects in more stuff is annoying, need more blast effects in everything. Like most Leaders are just voyagers with some extra guff, and most of the time those aren't blast effects. What the hell?

I actually installed the "NTWRK" app to see if I could get one of those, but it stops loading immediately and says an update is required. I have the newest one from May 2020... guess they just stopped releasing new versions for Android 5.

I bought a Kingdom Ultra Magnus because of my obsession for earth modes whenever I can get them, but when I sit him next to my spoiler pack mags I can’t help but notice how much more personality the muted paints give the spoiler edition. I’m torn now.

Rattrap was always a mechanical type, he was a demolitions expert. And it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure the set up is identical to the original episode, as I think that was the first time Rhinox's chainguns came out.

I don't have episodes fresh in my head, especially the earlier episodes. But the TFwiki shows them both going out actually. But then the setup was slightly different. Still, Rhinox was shown putting people back together, made Sentinel, fixes CR chambers, resurrects Primal. Ultimately though, they can do all that stuff. They were a research craft, it's just that they have their own specialities. In the later seasons Rhinox rarely leaves the base, that's probably what made me go "huh". But at the same time, more active Rhinox I can get down with.  Get out those chainguns!

Anyway, here's a great Twitter thread about mapping Beast Wars characters to John Mulaney quotes. Mulaney is a funny guy, we both grew up in the same Irish Catholic area and I've probably met him back in the day. We're close to the same age. The Salt and Pepper Diner is long closed, by the way. https://twitter.com/damnyouwillis/status/1410663612465696769?s=21
