I’ve seen these diecast guys in Miniso too (albeit in different packaging) and they are terrible.

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
Saw Rise Of The Beasts tonight and yes, it's very much in the mould of Bumblebee and not Bayformers. The final battle outstays it's welcome because of course it does, but not in that "holy gently caress why won't this end" way I got with Revenge Of The Fallen. One thing I did notice was that the fight scenes definitely didn't have the chaotic camera work that was a signature calling card of Bay, and so the fights genuinely seemed to have some heft to them

Forgive me for Taintreaping but we might get a Fortnite Battle Bus Crossovers figure and it will use a retool of Studio Series Transit, the only other Transformers character with a bus alt mode.

The toy is red, and Hasbro knows how weird grown adults get about 80's cartoons so they take the coward's way.

His other releases overwhelmingly favor red

Thanks for the warning, I nuked all the saved info I had there and transferred my preorders elsewhere

XTB Overdrive shows as coming soon at Showzstore, I've bought very little in the way of transformers this year but I'm kind of stoked for him.

It's true that Rumble's original toy was red. It's so true that Megatron's original toy had a massive cock and a prostate-tickler trigger, but I don't see anyone complaining about those not being honoured.

Anyway, I just got out from seeing Indiana Jones, and at one point there's a big plane with IG-YAK written on it in giant letters that takes up most of the frame.

It's not just the original toy. It's a lot of modern toys. And comics. And various other sources.

The only meaningful work where Rumble is blue is from a cartoon that misapplied the name to the wrong model sheet.

I grew up post G1, so Blue Rumble and Red Frenzy make sense to me just because of the Bouba / Kiki thing. Hasbro should arbitrarily swap them every so often just to mix things up though.

It's not so much nerdrage so much as one side is on the side of a lovely cartoon that hosed up, and the rest of us are correct.

Speaking of G1 toy accuracy, one of these days it would be cool to see versions of the characters that reinterpret the original toys rather than their animation models.

Wheeljack with gorilla arms and a visor instead of a mouthplate


A Megatron whose entire helmet hasn't just been squished down to become eyebrows


Optimus with all his stickers applied


Thrown in a headless Ironhide, why not
