 I never thought we'd have the current Transformers movie franchise to thank for some manner of Dinobot Renaissance.

I will not consider it an success until we have an official Sludge. Yeah getting another version of Grimlock or Slag is one thing since nobody hates a T-Rex or Triceratops. And there's been quite a few Pterosaurs already. But Sludge has not had his name used since the Walmart Dinobots line where he was a Dimetrodon. There has not been a Transformer that used a version of his alt mode since G1.

Will go with the cartoon accurate blue version, but it's very cool that they're being careful to cater to both toon and toy fans with this line.

Sludge's alt mode didn't actually exist, so I can see where they're coming from on that one. Still, you gotta wonder why/when Hasbro decided kids don't like sauropods.

When you transform Sludge into a robot, there's no significant dinosaur part to stick on him. Maybe the best option is if they stop using the diplodocid sauropod form and maybe use something like a brachiosaurid (longer front limbs and head crest).

BBTS put up a proerder for Soar in both G1 and cartoon colors, I guess since Scoria will be more G1 I might as well get that one. G1 - http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=FTS10005&mode=retail Cartoon - http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=FTS10004&mode=retail

I still can't preorder it (gotta do it before the early bird and SDCC bonus parts expire at BBTS) but I'm super excited for that one too. I don't care that you have to partsform Vortex and Blast Off since they come apart super easy anyway.

Why cookie Rocket posted:That's a really great request, as the whole "there's no white optimus" thing seems to be a major point of debate on Stack. It also shows off one of the weakest aspects of Stack. Thanks for this, I was considering buying one of those but held off to see a mid-transformation shot to see if it had a white optimus mode, but nope. Have there been any details on the new MP Magnus mold at all, or is it just hearsay and rumors?

I've always wanted a blue Swoop but drat, seeing those two side by side, I actually prefer the look of the red one. Either way, I'm not crazy about the figure, it just looks too busy or something, feels a bit off.

strangehamster posted:Deluxe Deluxe Ultra Deluxe Voyager - This is going to cost so much To be fair Classics Optimus is barely a voyager because he was supposed to come with a trailer. I mean stack him up next to Sandstorm, Springer, or any of the other Generations voyagers and he stands quite a few heads shorter. But yeah Fireguts is a real weak repaint because the entire point of Ginrai is that he's supposed to be this big dude. Also can't you do that shield weapon transformation with just a regular Optimus anyways? The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Apr 21, 2014 |

From what I remember reading it was scrapped in the early design stages and only the cab went through in actual prototyping because the trailer made it too expensive. But the cab kept it's slot to hook a trailer up.

Classics Optimus wasn't supposed to come with a trailer They at first were thinking of making a deluxe size optimus with a trailer sold at voyager price point but that was axed in favor of a different design

Rita Repulsa posted:Classics Optimus wasn't supposed to come with a trailer Maybe that's it. Either way Classics Op should come with an official trailer, especially now that they have a leader price point and Legends guys are still a thing. Like he doesn't even need to combine with it, just having an elaborate trailer base would be welcome. I mean geez they charged 60 bucks for Platinum Energon Optimus and that trailer base is a piece of crap.

I say full new Leader Prime with trailer to go with Leader Megatron. If he has to be smaller due to the trailer, make him Powermaster Prime and have his combined mode be the size of Megatron.

Is there some list of what Hasbro counts as 2014 transformers? They said they would have like 70 something transformers for Generations at Toyfair. Scoop, Minicon team, Skywarp, and Armada Starscream are all 2014 as are Rattrap, Tankor, and Crosscut. As are Swerve, Cosmos, Skrapnel, and Tailgate. But is Rhinox, Whirl, and Doubledealer still 2013 or are they 2014?

Granted Generations may have already exceeded the amount of Voyagers in Universe 2.0(depending if you count store exclusive multi-packs and such). We've yet to see any traces of Brainstorm or a confirmation if that G1 Grimlock styled Beast Wars Megatron is still a thing.
