Hey Vorthos nerds can you un-compleat someone?

My kid wants to know if Ajani can turn face again.

I mean with time highjinks and magic all things are possible I suppose.

Squee got uncompleated but his circumstances are a bit different from most.

Up until kamigawa you couldn't compleat a Plansewalker so who knows. I don't think there are any characters currently who have been uncompleated but I would expect to see it soon.

Also, maybe relevantly given the time travel thing, Xantcha was a phyrexian creature born (?) and bred (?), and she was able to develop a will of her own.

Wrong era, tho, IIRC - urza met with Xantcha well after the Brothers War

Robot cards are whatever, but weird move putting em' in the Brothers War packs. Feels like something you'd save for a set that could use a sales boost and not the guaranteed to move millions nostalgia high that that set's gonna be.

So old Phyrexians started as what they called Newts, genderless humans that would then be modified. Xantcha was part of the first generation of spies they were going to send to Dominaria where they were left unmodified. They didn't make good spies though so Xantcha just ended up working on the first Sphere when Urza showed up to wreck poo poo. He thought she was a kidnapped human and rescued her.

pretty sure that's it, this is just pure Hasbro brand synergy (and if anything using Magic to juice the Transformers brand)

you're hopefully not making sets that are so clearly lackluster that you'd know in advance to use Transformers to make them palatable, and if you're going to put your otherwise wildly-out-of-place transforming technological robot brand into your high fantasy card game an artifact/magic robot oriented set seems like the best place to do it from both a flavor and mechanical support standpoint

If ever you want to give it another watch nowadays, there's a fellow who has completely upscaled the entire show into 4k, and it looks INCREDIBLY GOOD. well, except for the muddy textures of mid-90s cgi that upscaling can't fix, but other than that, it's never looked this good:

the prior available versions to this were 360p, so a big jump in quality

I live in america so 4k is just not gonna load with my internet lol, but this is neat and i appreciate the effort this person put in.

When you are compleated you lose you soul, but this new method that let the planeswalkers keep their spark should also let them keep their soul. So who knows, for them it may be possible.

Ugh, at the very least it's not the Michael Bay CG mechanical garbage art for them and just the nice clean OG G1 stuff.

Seconding on some cool rear end Beast Wars Maximals and Predacons. Beast Machines would be dope.

What are the odds that they had a bunch of pre-commissioned Transformers art from the now cancelled TCG, and figured this would be a quick way to recoup the investment?

I mean, it looks nice, and I'm also glad they went for the 80s cartoon aesthetic, but also capitalism...

This isn't the first time they've done this. Every year this happens.
E: I think the only difference is that without the silver border they're legal now and they need to make them available

Bumblebee was remade into the throttlebot Goldbug first in 1987, therefore, thus, qed, etc.

I do wonder why it's Goldbug instead of the significantly more popular name Bumblebee, but only God and Hasbro lawyers know.

What is and is not on The List is really bizarre. Blood Crypt has been on the list for at least a couple of sets, but many of the other shocks aren’t at all.

Actually as I look through the current List, is Blood Crypt the only Shockland on it right now?? Jeez.
