Death of Optimus Prime is in MTMTE volume 1; don't buy it separately unless you're buying the singles.

Well, I had the chance to check the attic at home to see if there were any transformers toys as my mom said. However I didn't say anything, but then my mom said they had been tiny, while I had been looking for the regular sized toys I the same size that's being sold now.

Would there have been any "smaller than a smartphone" transformers been sold circa 1989-1992 or so?

That's the era when Micromasters were a thing, yeah.

MP Fans Choice results are out. Didn't see it mentioned, though I feel like we've known for a while who was coming out on top. Was it just assumption?

  1. Star Saber
  2. Armada Optimus Prime
  3. Powermaster Optimus Prime
  4. Dai Atlas
  5. RiD Optimus Prime
  6. Optimus Primal
  7. Cybertron Optimus Prime
  8. Big Convoy
  9. Lio Prime (Lio Convoy never got a real release here, but they've homaged it under this name)
  10. Fortress Maximus

Names localized where possible.

Something about his shoulders makes me feel he's more Ginrai than Optimus, though he doesn't appear to have fake chest windows.

I mean I guess I get why that happened, but that's dumb.



That's pretty much the alt mode size Takara's going to be shooting for, so I'm not sure how much smaller its outing will be.

Yeah he's read some issues and is waiting for a TPB, all I am saying is that no one is actually swearing off the series forever because of the torment of not enough toys.

Aside from what Keldroc said, MTMTE is up to v5 in TPBs. Trade waiting has you just before Dark Cybertron, not waiting to start.

People played PvP in the other games? I thought Escalation was the big draw anyway.

I never played Escalation, but played the various PvP modes (rarely deathmatch, usually conquest) all the time. It was basically the only game with that sort of PvP I liked at all, so its omission means this is utterly without value.

No. It isn't. It doesn't really look like HyoRyu at all. It's the Hot Spot analogue from TFC's notProtectobots.

It's a good thing you told me about that level 25 stuff because I'm one lvl away from unlocking more map. Also, heatwave is hilariously satisfying and hard to play as.

I think Sentinel Prime is in the next batch available to you. He's Heatwave, but with black forearms and shins, and shoots three beams instead of just one. It owns.

The bot mode looks better than the MP, at least from the front. The profile shot is awkward. The car mode is almost identical. I don't know, that seems like a bad spot to put themselves in, with the MP coming next February.

I mean, you say the profile shot is awkward, but



this is what it's up against. That's just way too much backpack. Also the arms look like they rotate too low, though the FT render doesn't show if it managed to avoid that issue itself, in fairness.

What's the state of the rest of the comics right now anyways? I've kind of lost track of all the series. There's got to still be a book on Cybertron dealing with Starscream, Windblade, and Sentinel Prime, is that and these two books all the series going right now?

That's Transformers: Till All Are One, and yeah it's the same three as before with two new names (I feel like they should have just kept Windblade running for the extra five months so it could be a clean sweep).

It's really blowing my mind that the post-Revolution relaunch version of the no-subtitle Transformers ongoing straight up does not have Transformers in the title. I mean, sure, Optimus Prime is enough in pop culture that nobody is going to be even remotely confused, but this may be the first time the word just isn't on the cover of any entry of this franchise. Lost Light's trade dress actually makes Lost Light way bigger than Transformers too, unlike Till All Are One or any of the pre-Revolution books.

Till All Are One replaced Windblade.

Gotta save the precious Brand Recognition for the bad cartoons and name those Transformers. At least they're not cancelling the good IDW continuity.

What exactly did you think I meant by feeling that they should have kept Windblade going for the five months, a time period which matches the number of released issues of Till All Are One, if not that I was suggesting that letting the Windblade to TAAO new #1 and name happen at the same time the other two ongoings got new #1s and names?

Brand Synergy.

Bayformers made them much more comfortable using fake vehicle mode parts on the robot, since there was literally no other way to make their designs work. I don't consider them getting comfortable using fake parts on Masterpiece figures a good thing.

The insignias can be (and almost certainly are) trademarked. Designs, even when exact clones, aren't really infringing on copyright, and they were never available to register as trademarks.
