No, because who gives a poo poo about Movie Leadfoot?

On that note, ROTF Deluxe Ravage is a pretty fun toy, shame it doesn't so much "transform" as "compact".

Hmm there's at least one or two good games in that series but I can't say I blame you. You could just call it "ridable chicken mode" and get some joy out of it though.

Final Fantasies 4, 5, 6 and 9 are good. And I also really liked 11 because I'm apparently a masochist. Nobody plays that anymore though now that 14 is no longer poo poo. You wanna charge $12/mo for a 12 year old game that nobody plays? gently caress off Square.

Also if you actually care about the thrilling 30 you may be a crazy person.

I believe that if you haven't already you should really try 3 (like the original 3 for the NES, with a fan translation), because your list is my list, but missing my absolute favorite, which is 3.

I wonder if they actually are debilitating or they lead perfectly normal lives then go home, wait til the wife is asleep and then post about AUTObots for two hours before collapsing into a twitching neurotic heap at the keyboard. Awaken to the birds singing and just not remember any of it maybe.

1984forever is a really cool idea for a gimmick account, though. It really underlines how insane the whole ruined forever / franchise ends here for me attitude is. Which thankfully doesn't crop up here.

The combiner wars wording about everything being some sort of combination makes we wonder if we're going to get repaints that are a non-combining toys but combine two characters into a single toy.

So like Fuzors but nobody sprung the money for original molds so they're all repaints. I'm still waiting for a Rotorstorm figure that uses Springer, Whirl, or Sandstorm because we have all the other big name G1 helicopter bots including Spinster.


Then again since the Turbomasters are a team there's really nothing stopping them from being a combiner themselves with Thunderclash as the main bot.

We could put him in the comic, the bear being literally Barbearian and Cybertronians sometimes think they see him in the wilderness but no one has any proof except for blurry photos.

A bunch of them (mostly Autobots) had universal joints that were mounted vertically, like on MP Soundwave but less well-considered (I concede to have eaten crow on that one. MP Soundwave's hips are thoroughly acceptable), in order (usually) to facilitate the combining gimmick.

They really stunk.

Some of the Energon Autobots were hobbled by the gimmick, but the Decepticons were almost all fun, chunky bastards.

Fyi Voyager skybite can be held as a weapon. His Universal port can have a gun stick under it, and that gun can go in the hand of another voyager.

first thing I do when I get Sky-Byte is having Unicron use him as a shotgun.

Also I dug out HFTD Deluxe Ironhide and boy, what a fun toy spoiled mostly by the much-better Leader-class figure, and also by the fact that his torso just doesn't lock together.

It's a wave promotion as well as a crossline line.

Considering you need stuff like Shockwave's Lab as well as the identical Asian release, it's pretty poorly done.

Because everything after FOC was Thrilling 30. But now Combiner Wars is the next thing.

It's got a shitload of convention exclusives for whatever reason. You also had stuff that was meant for Generations(i.e. Omega Supreme) and was switched to Platinum and Platinum, is another crossline line.

But the Thrilling 30 for Generations is something entirely different.

Huh? it does totally lock together. I just wish I remembered how since I haven't transformed him in ages. DOTM voyager Ironhide's chest also locks together but people always say it doesn't.

Deluxe Ironhide owns and in many ways is the most screen-accurate Ironhide.

Deluxe Ironhide owns once you get the hang of his weirdly undocumented features like his chest locking in securely, or the fact that you can flip up one of his arm guns so his drone can be tucked away in vehicle mode.
