The Transformers thread.

$10 off so I had to

 

For some reason I was surprised they did that as a Leader class. The vintage toy always seemed smaller than the other dinos. Looks great, though.

I don't care about Naruto, but it looks like we may have a Spittor in our future:

Minicons were addictive 20 years. I have 300+. Lots of dumb rare ones.

 

The Beast Wars fan in me loves these, even the crazy kibble! But definitely won't be pulling this trigger, as Naruto isn't a thing for me either.

 

I'm very glad it's a leader, because it's the only Dinobot I'm getting from this line!

 

any idea which brand/ version it is?

 

Looks like a standard Hasbro toy to me.

 

I can’t tell! The legs are throwing me off..

 

I think it's a standard Optimus from the second movie, Dark of the Moon.

Yep there it is! I have a lot of the Bayverse Optimus toys but not this one. That's a whole lotta kibble!

 

When the trailers for that first movie came out, I was imagining the dread the Takara designers must have felt when they saw the character designs for the first time.

 

Spoiler

 

Which Optimus is that?

This is nifty, the Missing Link Sunstreaker (and variant) will come with a Diaclone pilot:

The Bombshell/Ramhorn reissues are $24 at Walmart. It would be stupid of me not to buy them, but I probably won't: https://www.walmart.com/ip/TRA-GEN-RETRO-RAMHORN-BOMBSHELL/6414003670

 

Does anyone know who is producing the Beast Wars vinyl figures on preorder at Hakaba no Garou?

EDIT: Just noticed the page header- I guess it is Frog Tree?

 

It's the mainline ROTB voyager. Wasn't going to get it, but it was cheap on sale.

 

For $150, this looks like a hell of a lot of fun. https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/01/20...-star-optimus-behind-the-scenes-part-1-530246

 

I think I paid $150 for my original Star Convoy

(I'm still in for this one.)

 

Came across this here. Quoting myself from 2007:

I bought none of them. I hate myself.

Anyway, look, product listings!

Transformers-adjacent? They are releasing an updated Microman Command 1 under the T-Spark LegacySoul line. Exclusive to TakaraTomy Mall, but BigBadToyStore is offering them as well.

People are comparing it to Missing Link for Microman. Pretty cool to see new toys for Microman... it's been a while.

 

FAWK YEAH! SOUL OF BEETRAS TEAM IS COMPLETE!

(More G2 Dinobots too.)

 

Yes! And my favorite one too! Ven.... Venim? Venin?

 

I'll just call him Beet-Zeguna.

 

Wow.
