Squalitude posted:I've not really bothered with the comics this century but those MTMTE images did get my attention. Does Ultra Magnus always come across like Kryten or is it just that page? If you're interested at all in Transformers, RID and MTMTE are must reads. RID gets slightly uneven but is still great, and MTMTE is undoubtedly the best TF stories the fandom has ever gotten.

I pretty much write off the first season of any TF show, except G1 of course in which it was actually by far the best written and drawn. Also I wish anyone had the balls to actually delve into gender issues with stories about Arcee and maybe even other female Autobots, but Hasbro wouldn't touch that with a cis pole

I had ordered from Amazon but I'm considering cancelling and just going to BBTS. I doubt Amazon had bad intentions, but gently caress em, support the toy store.

I know opinions on BBTS are mixed but I've always had phenomenal customer service from them. I don't even mind their prices being higher at times because they're pretty upfront about their business model. I also understand why they'd be pissed. Amazon breaking embargo probably cost them quite a few sales.

I'd have high hopes of Roberts becoming some kind of showrunner/brand ambassador. The fandom is certainly behind him (pleasantly surprising, considering their ability to hate everything)

There's so many good frameworks out there besides doing Secret War on Earth for the dozenth time. Space Opera Post-War (Autobots win, Decepticons on the run) Post-War (Decepticons win, Autobots hunted and scattered) Dystopian Cybertron Naval Adventure Original Star Trek (ie, "Wagon Train to the Stars") Time Wars Cybertronian Manifest Destiny Post-Human Partnership

Cullen is not the problem. Over-gravitas in the writing for his character is. I never thought I'd say I wanted the goofy poo poo back in TF cartoons, but cmon. Even the way he said "Good grief" in G1 was great.

EthanSteele posted:I'm pretty sure Black Zarak had the special head that was more proportional compared to Scorponok who had that huge body with a regular headmaster size head with a silly hat on top. Yeah, it was nice that he didn't look retarded if you lost the Headmaster. I bought one loose and he's pretty neat-o.

The_Doctor posted:You people and your cute 'bought one'. I still have my Scorponok from when I was 8. Well to be fair when I was 8 Scorponok was still three years away from being made, although I did get him on layaway with a buddy when he came out. I had no idea Black Zarak existed until around 1998 or so when I started collecting TFs again. I think I paid about 120 bucks for mine, which is in great shape but has pretty much no accessories.

If they did a Trypticon, I'd hope it was a pretty radical redesign. As an original 1986 owner, I can testify that it's a pretty poo poo toy.

There's a possibility he's set to take a role in one of the two monthly books and the writers are just giving Hasbro lead time. Or it could just be one of the designers' favorite characters. Who knows.

RID preview looks like they're returning to some better characterization of Starscream. Really, if they made a 3rd book for all the miscellaneous threads and kept RID to just "Reign of Starscream", I'd be happy.

Keldroc posted:I drive by their building in LA sometimes, which is huge and has a big old "HARMONY GOLD" logo sign out front. It amazes me that all these years later they can still afford space in that area in that building while not putting out any product whatsoever. Preventing the US release of any and all Macross merchandise is much more profitable than you'd think, I guess. They're actually more into real estate now. Seriously. Check out their website.
