Yeah, the most obvious car one that springs to mind would be Runabout and Runamuck. Considering that's basically one toy into two right off the bat there may be some appeal there, but they're probably a bit too niche for a brand new mould I'd have though. I'd buy the living crap out of those two, b...

Toy business should be toy business. The fandom really does not need to know insider information, inciting rivalry between companies, staff accusing other companies of copying copied designs, retailers being badmouthed [and vice-versa] and all that. One of the things I learned studying business was...

It is Rook, the new Protectobot who takes Groove's place as a leg in the Hasbro Defensor. He has a really rubbish (lack of) hand gimmick, that sort of half works for Impactor. That moulded right fist! Ugh! :down: Rook can use combiner hands like kids use Hulk Hands. I agree it's rather silly but ha...

Hit the local flea market and snagged Breakaway and Sharkticon for $3 a pop. Breakaway because I thought he looked neat and Sharkticon because I've kind of wanted one for a while. Something about that submarine/battleship alt mode appeals to me. Also I snagged CW Cyclonus who shall now be known as A...

Damn it. I didn't even know he was a thing. Now I'll have to get him as well. I just hope they make a Runamuck to go with him.

My wife just asked what that noise was.

I'm looking forward to this to say the least.

I never thought I'd say this but...man that fan built combiner's colors are ugly as sin. I -love- gaudy/ugly color schemes but that one is just -bad-.

The more I think about the overlap the more I think it's people going "We haven't seen these in a while, let's make a great set of them and people will snap them up!" more then anything else. Also when you start on a team you really can't abandon it without massive backlash from the commun...

Found Legends class Viper yesterday and snagged him. Not a whole lot to say about him other then he's Powerglide with a new head and awesome faction symbols. Oh and he seems to tab together much tighter then Powerglide does, which was a surprise. Any sign of Hasbro releasing the deluxe scale Groove?...

I think "Wildrider" is online sales only, like "Slingshot", so there's bound to be a bit of a premium. May be worth looking at Amazon US. It's generally an online only release. My local comic shop got a case in and put it on the shelves. Good hunting on finding one, he's going t...

...why does Windsweeper look like he wants to kiss me in that art?

And Needlenose reminds me more of Thunderwing then anything else.

I'm entertained by the insane amount of retooling going on with these guys. Onslaught looks almost like an entirely new mold, Swindle/Hound are extensive retools of Rook it looks like given how the arms fold up and the chest wheels (although in all honesty they might of just made them with all new m...

You know, I'm really digging the combiner gimmick this time. I'm a sucker for them anyways but usually there are only a few teams so it's limited. With 3 teams on the shelves now, at least 3 more full teams on the way, plus all the random potential combiner team members floating about and on the way...

We don't know how random the crafting is, the Game Informer article is rather vague. Talks about taking two weapons, mashing them together, and getting the best traits of both. Seems that would give some amount of control. Though there was also mention of a timed crafting mini-game for determining ...

ENOUGH WITH THE RANDOM CRAFTING SYSTEMS ALREADY!

*cough*

Why is this sounding like Borderlands with Transformers characters?

...are those generic Decepticons based on Runabout and Runamuck?

That's why I'm generally excited about things now. I'd no sooner said that they needed to bring back the Head- and Targetmasters, and Scoop and Brainstorm get announced. You know what I'd like to see. A "minicon" pack that is Targetmasters for Blurr, Kup, Hot Rod, and Scourge. Maybe add a...

The Deluxe Groove mould seems to feature clear plastic, for example the windshield. I've heard this is something of a no-no for a Hasbro Deluxe, so speculation is it will Takara only*. Hasbro's Generations Chromia has several clear plastic pieces, a windshield and her back wheel that splits into tw...

I just picked up the US Protrectobot limbs. I heard some people were putting those off, or just buying Rook, because they were planning to get the Takara version with Deluxe Groove. I just figure Hasbro'd release Deluxe Groove somehow, like Wildrider and Slingshot. Has there been any confirmation e...

AoE Microchangers Wave 2: Found these at a local Dollar Tree for $1 a pack. Bought the store out of them in hopes of getting a complete set, which I did. I think my favorite out of the batch is Skalor, followed by Sea Spray and Runamuck. Energon Arcee: One of two figures I picked up at a local comic...
