Yeah, the Kallax inserts are amazing, but I’ve not idea if they’d fit a Detolf.

Thought this would be a good place to ask, where is the best place to buy Diaclone Reboot stuff?

Depends where you live, if you're american BBTS probably isn't a bad choice, but as a european their prices aren't worth it to me. Personally I usually use either Robotkingdom or mandarake, and occasionally HLJ.

Looks like Kapow Toys does them in the UK. Is this what we're talking about? https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/category/transformers-types/diaclone.html

It is but that selection hasn't been updated for years. For context, the latest toy they have there is DA-37, and the one coming out at the end of this month is DA-92.

Raising his arms will cause the shoulders to move the backpack a bit away from the core of the body, but the backpack doesn't flop around so you can get nice poses. Make sure you glue the sleeves onto the front of the car when he's in vehicle mode, so everything fits perfectly.

It's modeled on the gun designed for the vintage prototype, which would have become a stand for his planet mode!

Anyone have recommendations for adding shelves to Detolfs? I've got 3 of them and while they're technically "full" I wouldn't mind adding a shelf or two since there's a lot of empty space between them with the smaller figures

Take a look for DASIK shelves. There are probably other branded versions too. I have a set of them and they're easy enough to install.

Found these on eBay if it helps: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353500869021

InDemand Toys had Primal and Tigatron going cheap, so I picked them up. Tigatron is nice enough, but Primal is definitely the star of this show. Lovely posing in both modes, even if it is a little weird that they have to give you instructions to "transform" from knuckle walking to regular walking.

Yeah. I had some good runs there, but I think everybody who was there aged out of it (meaning they just didn't have time to game into the wee hours) and I don't think younger folks think of MUSHes immediately.

I never encountered her, but she was really commonly referenced on TFWiki back when I was getting into the fandom around Prime's airing. Watching how the fandom has changed since then and become generally less lovely I find myself wondering about why people picked her to immortalise as a fandom villain.

I met her in person at a BotCon back in the day. Yes, fairly run of the mill dramatic goth-esque person with very specific interests, entirely fine as long as you didn't try to change her mind about anything. Very cute snake.

Interesting choice to make Megatron a transverse rotor helicopter. Don't think I like Wheeljack being Texan. Only two all-new characters in the main cast apparently.

It's also neat that some of the deep cuts of Generations are bringing weird G1 randos to prominence.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

This is the first thing I see of it and why are his lips like this
Animated nailed maskless Prime, just do that
Edit: okay I watched it. It doesn’t look terrible. I appreciate Swindle being part of the main cast apparently. I also appreciate Bumblebee being able to talk. Whoever decided we needed almost a decade of radio talking deserves a punch in the mouth.
