So does Godbomber really combine with Ginrai/Magnus Prime just by pulling him apart and sticking the bits of kibble on Magnus or is there anything more clever than that?

Sidestepping the creep factor*? * Having read the Marvel miniseries at a tender age before seeing the cartoon, I always got a body horror vibe off the Headmasters. Adding a kid into the mix, even the way Rebirth handled it, was still unsetttling.

I must have that parrot. Also, first Transformer: Jazz. I was so hyped because I'd wanted a Transformer for months and finally loving got one once I was able to get to a toy store well outside of my poo poo-rear end hick town. And the first time I tried transforming it, the brittle loop of plastic that held the sliding hood/windshield piece to the back of his head broke. I hadn't even manipulated it that hard; it was just a little stuck, presumably as it was the first transformation out of the factory. I was so mad about it that I boxed it all up and shipped it back to Hasbro, saying something to the effect of "I don't want a replacement Jazz if this is what they're all going to be like. Send me something else. You assholes owe me." Couple months later, to my surprise, I got Constructicons in the mail  drat I loved Jazz, though. Long after I stopped collecting (the first time), I went out of my way to find the TRU reissue (late 90s? early 00s?).

Seriously, at least maybe recycle the Groove mold for Chromia (to approximate the Generations version) and, I dunno, maybe retool the Takara Blast-Off mold to make a vaguely submarine-y Nautica.

Siege Prime is especially super good, but am I wrong for hoping there's a repaint without the grime/rust aesthetic?

drrockso20 posted:You know, would be a fun twist on the multitude of origin stories for various Transformers for a new series if you had it so only like 1 to 3 members of each faction be the usual "several million year old war weary veterans from Cybertron" sort, and the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons all be freshly born on Earth(like say the first episode/issue has Optimus and Megatron battle on the Moon over the All-Spark and the fight ends with it detonating and blanketing the Earth with it's energies, birthing dozens or even hundreds of new Cybertronians in it's wake) Cybertronians as ultra-advanced von Neumann constructs intended to seed sentient worlds throughout the universe. Infinite generations of fresh-born beings, implanted with the memories of a pointless conflict on a long-dead world, destined to either wipe themselves out or supplant the native life and eventually snuff out the host world as well. No moral! The end.

TheDK posted:So on the smaller end of the spectrum, does anyone have any strong opinions on the Legends-sized 3rd party offerings? I have a few and they aren't quite perfect (except for Iron Factory who nails it every time). I picked up a Newage Manero (Jazz) a while back and it's really good. Great construction and paint job, tight joints, nice transformation where everything generally clicks together easily (except maybe the legs which were a tiny bit fiddly to get into place in car mode but nothing too frustrating).

Arise, my terrifying servant, and put on your winklepickers. I really like that overall design aesthetic more than the final version, though. Seems more like something a primordial mechanical ur-deity would create as the tool of its will.

I have the Magic Square Legends-scale Optimus (MS-B18X) in my stack, as I'd heard good things about the regular-sized Magic Square Optimus.

Yeah I'm up for anything as long as it's handled well. I hadn't seen any prior media with Star Saber and so had no expectations, but that was just bad. Could have gone any number of directions with the character and he went with... that. Roberts appears to have had no interest in the headmaster/brainmaster thing but I would be interested to see some talented writer with a really good take on the concept, the way Roberts generally had a good take on the core concept of transformers. Personally even as a kid the entire concept verged on body-horror for me.

I did have to laugh at the G1 American cartoon basically just making them little green idiots sitting in chairs inside their heads and giving orders like OK NOW SHOOT THAT GUY. That helped after the Marvel comic was all like "okay let's graft our organic heads onto robot bodies now so that we can become big robot heads. this is perfectly natural."
