I would absolutely be interested in an Optimus, if it was priced like a regular Generations toy and not a "high end collectible". I'm not sure if the idea has much mileage beyond that, though. Soundwave would work, maybe the Dinobots...Megatron would be illegal in most places, Seekers woul...

And they seemed to be doing so well for an image hosting site. They've been a very good image-hosting site, but it seems like what they and their investors are trying to be is a social media site. And right now they're hosting a ton of adult images that are being posted to places like Reddit to dri...

Apparently the rest of the day consisted of people bombarding Musk with Xvideos.com jokes. Possibly to the point where he banned the porn site from Twitter X out of spite, but that last part might just be people mocking him for being a petty manchild. The entire situation has gotten so silly that I ...

I somehow missed this entirely back when it was posted! I think Denyer is right that it's all down to name recognition, but what's really interesting to me is how we got there. I think that was more down to circumstance than popularity, or any conscious choice on Hasbro or Takara's part. Lio got int...

https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/07/20/transformers-studio-series-86-commander-class-ultra-magnus-sample-images-490815 I don't think any of us had "the cab transforms...into a compact red backpack" on our bingo cards. I was expecting either a fully transforming cab or a big chunk of kibble. T...

Maybe Hasbro figured Antagony had so many alt heads that including any 1 of them would just annoy fans of the other 3, so they decided to include none of them so all Antagony fans would be equally unhappy? At least that's fair. That's fair. I've polled the other three people in the world who care a...

I feel like Hasbro is trying to apply their Marvel Legends strategy to Transformers, without really stopping to think about why that strategy might work for one brand and not the other. Wolverine or Spider-Man or Iron Man have so many different designs from so many different eras and artists that yo...

I've not played BOTW, but from what I've read, they basically turned the Zelda formula inside out. In previous games, you'd enter dungeons to fight bosses and get weapons, then muck about in the overworld to find heart pieces. In BOTW, you muck about in the overworld to fight bosses and get weapons...

I would have loved that personally, even though he almost never has them in his media representations. It would have been nice to have the option to do either/or. I feel the same way about Prowl's shoulder rockets or Ramjet's big dumb missiles...I know that Sunbow and Marvel both omitted them but I'...

The system was branded as "Radeon Dual Graphics" instead of Crossfire but it works about the same as I understand it. With the default configs it's supposed to switch between two GPUs depending on how much demand the system is seeing for GPU capacity. So it'd use the onboard chip if you're...

The bulk of the parts came from a couple of 2012-vintage machines, so not far off of what you were working with. My original plan was similar to yours actually, I was looking to make a low-cost streaming/DVD player, but that wound up not working out too well because the old AMD video cards cause tro...

So I've actually done a lot of gaming lately! My son has absolutely fallen in love with the TMNT lately, and after playing through all the old retro Turtles game in the Cowabunga Collection , we went ahead and bought Shredder's Revenge . It's one heck of a fun game! It has the trappings of an SNES-e...

Should look pretty good as the inevitable Cryotek redeco. https://twitter.com/ChromeTyranno/status/1581784142449999877 https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/worta2/legacy_cryotek_digibashmade_by_me/ I actually like Cryotek's deco more, on the original toy, so I'm definitely risking that I'...

I'm not familiar enough with Antagony to be baffled by this. I assume they wanted to keep the original bot head because the original bot head is awesome. I bought Inferno because I liked the opening/shouting bot head. After opening him today (finally) I was delighted to find that the light piping w...

Legacy TM2 Megatron I went back and forth on this one quite a bit before actually buying it, because Leaders are so expensive nowadays and because the TM2 design has never been my favourite Megatron. Eventually I did grab one, obviously...mostly because I saw it in-store and I was bored that weeken...

Didn't realize they made a video adaptation of that one. I remember reading the TPB a few years back. Is the movie any good?

Meow. https://i.imgur.com/DQuwtdP.jpg Lovey is a box cat. They have, like, a magnetic attraction for her. If I get a new Amazon delivery, she'll usually be inside the box before I get it unpacked. https://i.imgur.com/DduVD9O.jpg I actually tried to find a picture of her that wasn't in a box. I faile...

I've never been hugely into Turtles, but loved reading all that! I hadn't realised how mad the current marketing of Turtles stuff is. I really liked hearing how you and your son have a toyline you're both into. That;s cool :) It shocked me TBH, he's shown very little interest in Transformers or sup...

My son has become a huge TMNT fan over the last couple months, and that's gotten me back into the franchise as well. Reissue 90s Party Wagon We found a bunch of my old TMNT toys when we were cleaning out my parents' house after they died, enough that my son immediately had a full lineup of Turtles a...
