So it's kinda odd isn't it that Galvatron showed up in Earthwise but he has no action figure coming out or under the Earthwise subtitle isn't it? Most other characters even if they showed up for an episode have a figure. Unless he's suppose to return in the next Netflix part and he'll have a form there.

I'm really curious to see how Galvatron turns out. He needs to be good to fit with Cyclonus and Scourge. Also second issue of Beast Wars is out, it's a fun read. There's two new bots, one for each side. I"m sure most will probably wait for the trade.

Curtis hates the movie and thinks it's trash. But I agree with Xenomorph, it's a fun movie. Some pretty cool bad guy designs that are definitely more terrifying than the Borg or Cyberman concept due to how utterly gruesome it is without having to hold back.

Lodin posted:I haven't actually watched much of his stuff in ages but since it was the stupid robutt comics I did and posted it here. His one shame online is that he used to write a comic that was stupidly libertarian. Now he's dating Viga and they're adorable so good for him. Pretty sure that a lot of people stopped watching him once they learned of his sexual history/kinks, especially on message boards. At least I remember that being kinda a big discussion at one point. That probably did some damage to him.

There's one thing that I keep meaning to ask about every time I see the scene. In Transformers the movie (the animated one) when Ultra Magnus gets the Matrix he opens his chest component to put it in and then takes it out again and puts it back in as if he's rearranging it. What's up with that scene. It's bugged me for years.

I've used BBTS on occasion to get stuff I wouldn't know how to get up here in Canada but it's a rare thing. I mostly use stuff like amazon.ca or ebgames which has had some TF's and other assorted action figures. It's how I got cyclonus, the Quintesson etc.

DJ Fuckboy Supreme posted:A3U is pretty comprehensive when it comes to hasbro TFs, though I will say they often take longer to fulfill their orders. I'm still waiting on them to charge me for Cyclonus, who's been out in the wild for a while now. Good to know. Don't sleep on ebgames, their stuff sells out fairly quick but if you get an order in with them they will deliver. I never had a problem yet. It's how I got some stuff like Cyclonus and even the hard to get GIJoe cobra trooper.

Vincent posted:I started reading the IDW comics recommended in the OP (wreckers, MTMTE, RID) and liked them enough to go back to the beginning and have been making my way through the series. I don't think it was that much of a clusterfuck (of course, I have a guide to... well guide me as to the order, so maybe that's why) and I've been enjoying them a lot (poor, poor Hunter, tho). Mike Costas run is not very beloved. Almost as disliked as that in between art style of the bayverse and traditional designs, it only last a few issues. And hey if they can have beards and moustaches they can have teeth.

Something wanted to ask some here, does anyone else remember Machine Wars? It's an extremely small amount of TF's made after the failure of Generation 2. I remember I had Soundwave who came with a large rocket/missile, Optimus Prime who was really Thunder Crash, and Sandstorm or Whirl who was a blue helicopter. Even had a red Snarl and Slag with one being green. Didn't have them all the same year but they weren't that far apart either. It was an odd time especially as I could swear some of it was said to have only shipped in Europe but up here in the North we got a few things as well. Or maybe it's just a lot of mistaking various redecos.

Phy posted:So, much like MW Optimus, Soundwave was a repaint of Stalker from the immediately pre-G2 Predators (Decepticon counterpart to the Turbomasters), and Sandstorm was Rotorstorm. Soundwave didn't have his launcher, and Sandstorm's, being integral to his chopper mode, were neutered to remove the launcher mechanism leaving only the turbine shell. There were also some basic-class toys with an automorph function like the '96 Beast Wars basics had. Sounds about right. I loved Rotorstorm, thought he had one of the nicest overall designs. That and his missiles fired and went pretty far. It's how I ended up losing said missiles.

Knormal posted:Machine Wars was a Kay Bee Toys exclusive, which is why you never saw much of it. Very weird choice by Hasbro, or Kenner I guess at the time, since Kay Bee was never much of a toy store powerhouse even at their peak. drrockso20 posted:At least in the US it was a KB Toys exclusive line meant to cheaply test the waters regarding returning to the old Autobots vs Decepticon concept after Beast Wars proved that Transformers still had life in it, probably the same reason Beast Wars II and Car Robots both had a kid of vehicles vs beasts Here in Canada we could get them through the Christmas Wish Book from Sears. Anyone remember that? During the 80's it was a childs dream book.

Kingdom Galvatron appears to be quite a popular pre order, it's sold out at some places. Nice to see really, I know there's been a lot of Galvatron figures in the last few years but this one is definitely the best one out of them and he harkens back to ye old G1 days. What can I say, I loved batshit insane Galvatron who was pretty much power incarnate and near unbeatable.

Hell the fact it's been still going on all these decades later and made the impact it has. From humble beginnings.

Looked up the list. Known lost/stolen molds are: Generation 1 Grimlock Generation 1 Slag Generation 1 Sludge Generation 1 Snarl Generation 1 Swoop Generation 1 Mirage Generation 2 Go-Bot Hound (unreleased) Generation 2 Go-Bot "Mercedes-Benz SL500" (name unknown, unreleased) Beast Wars Basics Rattrap Beast Wars Basics Insecticon Beast Wars Basics Armordillo Molds rumored to be lost: Generation 1 Sunstreaker Molds initially thought to have been lost, but later turned out not to have been: Beast Wars Basics Terrorsaur Despite their impressive size and heft, molds can break and thereby be rendered useless. Known broken molds are: Generation 1 Wheeljack and Deterioration Molds can only be used so much before they begin to wear down and deteriorate. The mold is then unable to supply products of the same quality of the original release. This may result in toys where parts no longer fit together properly, joints are overly tight or overly loose, and sculpted detail appears "washed-out." Just compare the face of an original 1984 Generation 1 Prowl or Hound with a 2000-onwards reissue.[1] Molds specifically said to be worn out beyond a condition where further use is still viable include: Essentially all of the mass-released Armada Mini-Con teams. The 2001 Robots in Disguise Autobot Brothers: Prowl, Side Burn, and X-Brawn. Molds that seem to be on their way out include: The Alternators Subaru Impreza mold in its various incarnations started to show major signs of deterioration with Binaltech Asterisk Alert. The Generation 1 Combaticons. The Generation 1 Seacons are considered by many to have been beyond this point already when the Transformers Collectors' Club released the Timelines versions. The Generation 2 Cyberjets. Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime. Classics Voyager Optimus Prime. Classics Starscream. Masterpiece Starscream. Movie Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Class Rippersnapper. Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) Legion Class Optimus Prime. Armada Unicron It is unclear exactly how many uses a mold can take; some of the various Mini-Con teams were released over a half-dozen different times in the space of four years. It is also speculated that the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime mold is long gone, as reissues share the toolings of the Generation 2 mold.
