Vintimus Prime posted:It's the hasbro re-release so it's the older packaging like Rodimus Prime or the original US release of MP10 Ah fooey. I figured he'd get a new package like Grimlock did. Kind of wanted one like that to line up with my other MP boxes. Edit: Also the reunion of Chromedome and Rewind in MTMTE made me so happy.

Keldroc posted:A Rock Lord defense force now? C'mon, they turn into rocks. There is no scenario in which that is useful or cool. It's the Tom Hanks "Who wants to play with a building?" scene taken to a level even more boring than buildings. At least the TFs who turn into buildings can do a few things. Rock Lord alt modes can literally do nothing but lay there. It is by far the dumbest permutation of transforming toys ever made. The most amazing thing about them is that Masters of the Universe actually did the same drat thing. I'd love to see transcripts of the original pitch meetings. I liked and owned a rock lord and I liked and owned one of the MOTU guys. I think I just like transformers that have a chance of blending in with the world. I finally scored that old Heinz ketchup bottle that turns into a spaceship this year, and it might be toy of the year for me.

On a completely separate matter, a buddy asked me to cast his Black Zarak head and spear and it's making me nervous as gently caress because I have minimal casting experience with smaller parts. Have any of you ever found a reliable tutorial for casting larger pieces?

The rocklords told teletraan 1 or whatever to find them some cool ancient alt modes like the dinobots and it just went "these are rocks not bones" and you can figure out the rest. I think I always played with them in like a G1 season 3 scenario where the transformers have gone somewhere and caused a ruckus or Galvatron had heard of some cool thing on a planet and then it turned out it was rock lords. Thinking about it I have vague memories of Apeface throwing them at Highbrow, Brainstorm loving them and Hardhead proving he was dumber than rocks for real. This is like 20 years later and it's all coming back.

Jhiaxus was okay in g2. Idw jhiaxus is terrible. It's now now kind of hilarious in hindsight that all the things that were previously his inventions exclusively because he's so smart and special are now things transformers used to be able to do all the time and he just rediscovered them. He's both dead and kind of irrelevant.

I don't know about Rocklords, but so long as we're talking weird off-brand transformers, I had a set of these guys as a kid, and they were rad as hell. They didn't transform 7 right in the picture though; he's supposed to have the bottom fold out in a giant duck foot.
