    A transforming Aliens Dropship at leader scale with a transforming legends scaled APC would be fantastic. Actually, kind of a neat idea for a reimagined Soundwave. Airwolf would be great, too. Maybe even Blue Thunder. The idea of M.A.S.K. vehicles being reimagined as Transformers would be a fantastic marriage of those two brands, especially if they all retained their weaponized transformations in addition to bot transformations. Probably asking a little too much from the designers. Fun to dream, though! Back in the real world, I might have to put in a PO on Amazon for Jetfire as well. MikeSzekely's right- I never see anything bigger than leader at any of the stores here (most of the time, I don't see anything bigger than deluxe), so POing seems the best bet.

    Vlenhoff, to have suffered such personal losses over six years would burden all but the most cold hearted among us, and I am sincerely sorry. I can only wish you well, and hope for your sake that time will facilitate some merciful bit of healing. To this end I hope you find solace, peace. and hopefully, over time, reconciliation with your brother. On topic, I'm not sure I care for the look of the reflective tape, even if it does obscure his Matrix. I tried turning his Matrix chamber, a la bumper, 180 degrees, but unfortunately it only fits in the chest one way. Shame, as that would have been a very quick and easy fix. Alas, it is what it is, and, for me at least, the pros so far outweigh the cons on MS-01 that I can overlook the visible Matrix. Watching the vid, I had to chuckle when he mentioned his dread at transforming TE-01- it's a pretty involved process. MS-01, which I think was probably modeled off of MP-10, shares some similarities with its transformation, especially in the torso and waist areas. It very much feels like an MP-10 update that fixes the proportion issues as well as the lower legs. I'm very pleased with him, and for a company who had heretofore focused primarily on legends sized figs, I think Magic Square's first foray into MP scale was an overall success. And mentioning legends, I was feeling the need for an updated Huffer for my CHUG shelf, so I bought MS' Strongman- for it's size it has come nice engineering, die-cast (feet), good range of articulation throughout, and spot-on toon accuracy. I haven't fallen into the legends collector honeytrap just yet, but handling a figure like this, I understand the appeal.

    Me too. Totally unexpected, but undeniably cool. I want that Triceratops too.

    Vlenhoff, as for family, I'm sorry to hear about your loss, and I hope your relationship was on good grounds before his passing. As for my own relationship, my father and I are very different people, although at the core, we both have a strong moral foundation, and I owe that to him. Moreover, we have a good relationship despite our differences, and we always exchange an 'I love you' when we speak. I cherish the respect that lies between us. I wish we all had at least that. I must confess, though, that I'm envious of folks who have a great deal in common with their parent(s), as I think there's a greater fulfillment there when you share what you enjoy, especially as you get older. That'll never happen in my case, but the love remains, and it's enough. As for replacing your MPP-10, I feel quite comfortable recommending MS-01- it's pretty much everything I wanted in an MP-10 update. The only flaw, if you consider it as such, is that there's no cover for his Matrix, which can be seen through his windshields in bot mode. For everything it does right and well, I can overlook it. As always, in a subjective world, YMMV.

    Looking at the original and comparing to Ditka, the transformation follows the original as far as the purple and tan halves of his body, and flipping one way or the other depending on which alt mode is preferred. To that end, the openings of the intakes would face backwards in bot mode as they did on the original toy, so he wouldn't have a Seeker look. They could have given him the intakes, and with some additional folding panels, made them fold out to taper and close up as they do on the production model. In my mind, it's an opportunity wasted. Alas, water under the bridge. And I concur, because of the thick fuselage section that forms the wing area, which also follows the G1 toy, for better or worse, arriving at an accurate MiG-25 is a foregone conclusion. Fanstoys and DX9's versions succeeded far better in that respect, although DX9's tank mode pays a heavy penalty in terms of mottled colors and a really boxy, non-accurate tank. FT did a nice job on all three modes, although they and DX9 apparently couldn't find a way to integrate the arms in fighter, and so they hang under the wings as huge boxes, albeit snugged up against the fuselage. I'm not sure about the DX9, but FT were able to eliminate the tank turret in fighter mode as well. Not sure if it was absorbed into the transformation, which would be the ideal, or just removed as a partsforming compromise, but admittedly it looks pretty nice. Vlenhoff, sad story indeed. Your dad's background is similar to mine, as he comes from a farming family of six, and while my grandfather died well before I was born, my grandmother was a very stoic woman who never bought toys for her grandchildren. She made us little stuffed dolls when we were very little, but that's about the extent of playthings we ever got from her, and I think my dad espoused that sort of thinking. Fortunately, my mom was more nurturing and enjoyed buying us toys, and over time my dad softened in this regard. He even made me wooden toys of a tractor trailer transport with a working bulldozer (he 'borrowed' the rubber treads off another dozer toy I owned to complete the effect- it rolled really well and I loved it). Anyway, it is indeed sad that you've developed such a a bitter association with Grimlock, especially given his prominence in TF history, not to mention the fact that he becomes a T-Rex. I hope it's something you learn to move past over time. I must commend your choice of music to accompany your story- a lovely and fitting marriage of beauty and melancholy.

    I'm rather impressed with that Springer as well; they're certainly taking pains to make these new Siege figs accurate to their G1 look. I wish his arms covered his tires in heli mode, but then again, I consider the possibility that he may be mis-transformed--it wouldn't be the first time. Anyway, pretty much a must-buy. If I see him, I'll probably grab Red Alert, too. Still hoping for a G1 Astrotrain, too, A new G1 accurate Cyclonus would also be nice, while the focus is still on Cybertronian alts. My wish list keeps growing as they keep revealing more G1 accurate figures--feeling rather spoiled by this line. Has/Tak dominate the deluxe scale right now, too, as there's little in the way of third party competition, which is good. Throughout the last few lines, esp TR and PoTP, deluxe scale seems to get the most love in terms of engineering, although Siege has definitely been a step up across all size classes. It's a great time to be a CHUG collector, especially if G1 appeals to you. Mine cup of nostalgia runneth over.

    So NY Toy Fair is once again upon us, and already new developments are afoot concerning our favorite transforming bots from a planet called Cybertron. On the toy front: Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Exclusive- https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/official-press-release-and-more-images-transformersghostbusters-collaborative-ecto1-ectotron/42934/ More Seige figures on the way- https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/more-official-images-of-siege-springer-thundercracker-and-red-alert/42927/ There's also a yet unconfirmed rumor of a Seige Astrotrain. I'm tentatively excited for this as TR Astrotrain was a travesty, and given the extreme G1 bent of the line, we may finally get a G1 accurate update. Fingers crossed. New TF show coming to Netflix- https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-transformers-netflix-series-coming-in-2020/42929/ Studio Series- https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/official-images-for-new-studio-series-toys-with-hightower-leader-prime-new-drift-and-ksi-boss/42922/ Hasbro's new online store is officially open- https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/hasbro-pulse-is-the-new-hastrotoyshop-with-preorders-on-new-mps-siege-and-more/42932/

    Eek, not a very positive endorsement. Well, enjoy it for what it is. As I said, I'll remain patient and hope a really good version comes along. Given his prominence in the show and '86 Movie, and the use of his name in the recent Bumblebee Movie, I think he'll always remain a popular character so long as there is a fandom base (doesn't seem to be slowing down any, and the desire for G1 accurate toys of these characters continues to be a driving force behind the brand). I'm content to wait and see.

    Of all the 3P MP scaled Blitzwing options (I believe there were three on offer), IMO this one takes the prize for coming closest to the source. I wonder why they didn't make the intake ramps accurate to the MiG-25? It's really the major glaring deficiency to its fighter mode, other than having a tank turret hanging off the bottom (but that's canon to the original toy). But yeah, overall KFC did a nice job. As it happens, Blitzwing is my favorite triple-changer, but at the time these were all hitting retailers, none of them seemed definitive to me, so I passed on all of them. Moreover, KFC's track record for QC seems questionable, so I've always been leery to invest in any of their stuff. However, I hope your experience is a positive one, Tekering, and thanks for sharing photos. My hope is that maybe MMC/Ocular Max will try their hand- I'm a fan of their engineering, and of their stuff in general. There was a time when I would have loved an official version, but the design direction Takara have taken of late leaves me more with a sense of dread rather than anticipation. So, I hold out hope that more third parties will approach the figure bringing innovative techniques to the fore. Again, cheers for sharing!

    I thought Christoph Waltz was a pretty good match for Ido, but the likeness between Dafoe and Nova in that profile is downright uncanny. Great thing about Dafoe is that he has amazing range as an actor- he can play good or bad, but I think he relishes his evil roles, as they're always fun to watch. Anyway, I plan to see A:BA this weekend. The wife doesn't seem too thrilled (she has absolutely no background, whereas I've at least seen the anime a couple times), but I think she'll perk up once the thing gets going. She likes sci-fi and action, so I think she'll come around. And if not, divorce. JK about the divorce bit. I heart my wife. Almost as much as my toy collection!

    Oh, three Refraktors to make the camera is an absolute must. I've been waiting and hoping for an official CHUG version of those characters, as they're kinda essential to fill out a first season lineup of characters. Moreover, the three-in-one gimmick is fairly unique with these guys, and I can appreciate their giving Refraktor an individual transformation, half-hearted as it is. I still have my G1 Reflector displayed with the rest of my CHUG collection, so it's about time for a modern update. I'm hoping that Toy fair this weekend will disclose some Earth mode versions of Prime and Megs in the Siege line. I love the bot mode of the current Siege OP, but that Cybertronian truck mode looks nasty. I'm holding out for the Earth truck mode version- we all know it's coming. I'm patient. As for the rest of the Siege line, I have only seen the first wave of figures. I'm hoping to eventually get Ironhide, the mini-cassettes, and Prowl. The new Mirage just doesn't look as nice as my Classics version, so I may hold out for a potential Earth mode version. Of the big figures coming, I think they did a nice update of Omega Supreme, but I've never been a fan of his overall design, so pass. Skyfire, though, oh my, yes. That's a figure I never thought we'd get officially, especially with CW Jetfire being a decent homage in bot mode. Never happier to be wrong. I hope it turns out to be a solid figure, as it's probably the last time we'll see his G1 toon incarnation done so faithfully in the mainline, at least for another few decades. Concerning new MP Bee, I think it's a step in the wrong direction, engineering-wise. I think the original was done much better, hollow forearms notwithstanding. However, in terms of using the car parts efficiently for both modes, I think it a very successful toy that captures the look of G1 Bee, and for better or worse, gives us an accurate Beetle mode. Admittedly, I don't mind the Choro-Q chibi dimensions of MP-45's car mode, but I think that the bot mode could have been achieved much more efficiently while utilizing or hiding any extemporaneous panels. I look at my recently acquired Hellion from MMC, and feel that that's the better way to do it- a very clean bot mode with ample articulation, and a nicely realized chibi Porche mode with a usable interior. Love it or hate it, the engineering involved is impressive. I was recently, and quite pleasantly, surprised to learn that Alex Kubalsky, former designer at Takara-Tomy who gave us Classics Mirage, Hound, Bumblebee, Animated Bumblebee, Prowl, Blackarachnia, and Blitzwing, as well as the '07 Concept Camaro Bayverse Bumblebee and Longarm (and more), is the primary designer for MMC. Glad he's still designing Transformer figures that I can buy.

    Oooh, aaah! Pretty sweet take on Jetfire, and I think the Quinjet-ish alt mode was an inspired choice. Got a review in store for us, Kuma? Momentary bump- today I got my shipment containing MS' Strongman (legends Huffer), MMC's Hellion and PS-04 Azalea. Strongman is my first MS legends sized figure (I have Light of Freedom, as well) and he's an impressive figure for his size-even has ab crunch! Anyway, he's currently occupying the space on my CHUG shelves that IGear's Huffer used to command, although I'm still keeping him out for sentimental reasons. Hellion makes for a nice MP Cliffjumper, and although getting his doors to fit into his body and getting those little hinge bits to interlock on his shoulders proved to be a bit less than joyful, overall, I love that there's really nothing extemporaneous about the figure- everything has a place in both modes and his bot mode is virtually kibble-free, which is more than can be said about the new MP Bee. It's a pretty amazing transformation, too. Finally, Azalea- hearkening back to Mike's review, as well as any number of other video reviews I've seen thus far, she very much is like a super-poseable action figure that just so happens to transform into a tiny pink car. Transformation is pretty straightforward, if a bit ingenious, for fitting all that bot into a tiny car. The only sticky bit I encountered was getting the two back sections to move past each other so they could overlap. Once conquered, however, everything went together well, and she's pretty solid in bot mode, save for the panels on the backs of her thighs, which have no underlying reinforcement and can be easily pushed into the recess. It's easy enough to fix, but some may find it irritating. It's a tradeoff I can live with just fine. Also, the lower shins don't 'snap' into place; however, the joints on my copy are sufficiently tight enough by friction to keep them in place. I do think a snap would have been appropriate, though, as over time that joint may loosen. Something to be aware of. The overlapping fender sections comprising her iconic back pods can be a little fiddly, as there's no tab to give that really solid feeling connection. However, there is a 'sweet spot' where the fenders will mate and you can feel it when they do. It doesn't take much to jar them loose, though. Those being the only niggles I have thus far, they're pretty minimal, and really don't affect my enjoyment of the figure. I'm glad I waited to see the differences between Rouge and Azalea, as MMC's take is about as perfect as you can get in realizing a fun transformable Arcee figure. Not sure Takara could do better, although I wouldn't mind seeing them try. Then again, with all the overt panel-gami that's been endemic of their latest figures, I'm not sure I'd like the outcome. To that I say, Kudos MMC! and cheers for making me a very happy TF collector.

    Slag seems to be the toughest Dino to do without making him look like a potato in dino mode, or dealing with compromises to head articulation in either mode. For its size, Slagus mostly gets everything right, although I'm curious why they made the bot arms become the back legs. Anyway, so far as legends class Dinobots go, I imagine both Magic Square and New Age will eventually get around to them. Given their prowess for packing a lot of engineering into a small package, I'd be interested to see how Magic Square's Dinos would turn out. Abruptly changing topic, I believe it's Cyberverse that has an upcoming crummy looking Optimus with a small Autobot Ark riding along on its hitch area, and it makes me long for a transforming Ark/Omega Supreme from Animated. It'll be twelve years this year, and of all the most recent lines, it's the one that has received the least attention both officially and unofficially so far as new toys. I was really hoping for a tenth anniversary toy from Has/Tak, particularly the Ark, but we got nothing. So I'm still holding out hope that one of these third parties does a few of the unproduced figures from that show at some point (preferably while I'm still alive and kicking).
  14. M'Kyuun
    It's easy to take the positive things for granted; Thanks Shawn, and thanks, Mike, for reminding us. And that Harrier mode does look amazing; actually, I'd have to say that's the most accurate Harrier mode I've ever seen in a transforming toy, so kudos to Zeta.
  15. M'Kyuun
    Ooh, first I've seen this. Looks really nice, and I've always liked the look of the classic Mustang. That indent in the door is definitely made from slopes and not a sticker, and it does appear to have working steering, which we haven't seen in a Creator Expert model in some time. It's a good assumption that both bonnet and boot will open, and it'll likely come with a spare tire, as that seems to be a trend with these larger, more realistic sets. Anyway, appreciate your posting this. Yet another LEGO set to get excited for.
  16. M'Kyuun
    Same boat- I'm not crazy about having 80% of his alt mode in fragmented bits hanging off his back. It's even more glaringly bad when one looks at something like MMC's Hellion, which maintains the chibi car and transforms into a very clean bot, and manages to pull off a partial interior to boot. While the engineering is intriguing and the articulation no doubt markedly improved, this new MP Bee looks pretty messy form any angle but straight on. For the asking price, I'll stick with the first version. As for Blackarachnia, that bot mode is spot on. It's a shame they didn't show the spider mode, as that's where the engineering is really going to impress. The original's claw-hand design didn't lend itself well to an accurate depiction of chelicerae and pedipalps (Animated and Beast Machines Blackarachnia were done very well in this regard), and if they follow the original's transformation system, then I hope they use just the tips of her thumbs for chelicerae, and the 'finger' portion as palps. I like attention to detail like that when arthropods are depicted in robot form, as, among all creatures on Earth, I think they lend themselves best to that medium. Anyway, they've got my interest piqued, and most certainly if she does well, Tarantulas isn't far behind.

    I was cautiously optimistic going into LM2 yesterday; the first film had a great balance of humor, in-jokes, and yet at the core, told a touching story. Lord and Miller continue that formula, albeit with a different family dynamic at the core of its story, which ties into, and influences, the LEGO world's story. I thought it was done well, and I may have had a bit of dust in my eye at one point or another. This movie definitely featured music more prominently than the first, but the songs were relevant, and often humorous, if ironically so. Like the first, there's a lot to grab the kids' attention, but subtle things that adults will appreciate as well. As sequels go, this was a solid and fitting followup to the first, and while borrowing from the same formula, did enough things differently to keep it fresh. Everything is still awesome! Not sure where they can go from here, though, if they want to do a third. Unless there was a scene at the very end of the credits (we didn't stay for it if there was), there was no setup for a sequel to the sequel, as it were. A movie about Bennie might be cool, if only for all the spacy tie-in sets we'd likely get, but I'm not sure Benny's an interesting enough character to build a movie around, unless they made him learn to care about something other than spaceships. Still, they've established a neat dynamic between Emmett and Lucy, and I wouldn't be opposed to seeing more of their adventures.
  18. M'Kyuun
    No excuses necessary- fortunately, societal views have changed a great deal about adults who buy or like 'kid' stuff. Twenty years ago, I was furtive about my LEGO purchases, as I have never had kids. Nowadays, I buy whatever I want without shame. It's not unusual to see me walking around Wally with an armload of LEGO, and maybe a Transformer or two. I think the first LEGO Movie set a good precedent that appealed to all ages, and hopefully this second follows that formula. I plan to see it tomorrow with the wife. Looking forward to it.
  19. M'Kyuun
    Still, it sucks to be rolled, and I hope you get your money back, and they ban the seller. Glad you're able to find some humor in the situation, though. Good on ya. I'm not sure my response would have been equitable. Anyway, best of luck on your next attempt.
  20. M'Kyuun
    Great review, Mike. I agree that Rouge takes the prize in overall aesthetics, but that's about all she's got. In all other aspects, especially the toy aspect, Azalea is the superior figure. I think they did an outstanding job of maintaining her toon look and proportions without resorting to the shellforming of Generations Arcee- no easy feat. It's a good transformation system, and all that articulation is icing on the proverbial cake. Messy cockpit aside, I love the look of her car mode, too. Can't wait to get my copy. I'm also considering Ocular Max's Springer (Saltus). It strikes a good balance between the three modes, and while they took liberties with the car mode, the looks of which I vastly prefer over canon, and the chopper mode suffers a bit in the tail section, overall, it does the job. I'm just waiting for an early review to see how the engineering pans out. If it turns out to be a floppy mess like Rouge throughout transformation, I'll likely pass. However, I doubt that'll be the case. It appeals to me already from the pics, and if it's a solid transforming toy to boot, they can take my money.
  21. M'Kyuun
    Glad to hear you like and recommend this kit, Mike. I've been considering it for some time, and went ahead and ordered it earlier this week, so it'll be coming next week with MMC's Hellion, PS-04 Azalea, and Magic Square's Strongman. I do have MP Ratchet as well, but I figured I'd just get Ironhide's kit for now to see how it works out. I kinda like keeping Ratchet as-is, as it gives a little distinction to them, but I may just go ahead and get his kit, too. Anyway, I couldn't agree more that Takara should've implemented this change before releasing the figures. Cheers for the review.
  22. M'Kyuun
    I'd given up hope of ever getting a cartoon accurate Skyfire from Has/Tak; I figured CW Jetfire was probably the closest we'd ever get. Glad to be wrong on both counts. Really pleased to see that, contrary to their usual lazy 'arms at the sides' design, they actually have the arms tuck away. It's a thing of beauty, and a must. One niggle: I wish they'd given him proper FAST Packs, for lack of a better term, for his arms and legs instead of that sh!tty chest piece. It's frustrating when they come so close, and then take license with a part of the character that would have made him the definitive official version. Grrr Had my first opportunity to see Siege Prime and Megs at a nearby Target yesterday. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't monstrously tempted to get that Prime- looks so amazing in bot mode, but I just can't abide the truck mode. I put him back on the shelf, as I'm holding out high hope that we'll get an Earth version as the WFC line continues. I figure it'll be the same mold, albeit tweaked for his Earth truck mode. It'll be nice to finally have such an accurate G1 Prime on the CHUG shelf. Long overdue, for sure. While I kinda like the Siege Mirage, the feet are a bit off-putting. I think Classics Mirage is better, or at least the better toy. That thing has like 19 points of articulation, so in my mind, it's the toy to beat. Definitely still one of my all time favorite TF figures. Fortunately for my wallet, G1 Omega Supreme never really appealed to me. I think the update looks great, but it's still basically the same thing, so I'll be happy to skip him and Impactor, with whom I have no familiarity at all. I'm totally down for Refracktor, which I was under the impression was going to sold as three distinctive toys. Alas, if I have to buy three of the same to make the camera, that's what I'll do. Still have my G1 Reflector, which cost me around $15 and several robot points back in '85 or so. He's my CHUG placeholder along with G1 Soundwave and some of his cassettes. I bought an unopened G1 card of Ravage and Rumble (red cassette dude, although in my mind, Rumble will always be the bluish purple guy to me as he was depicted in the toon) years ago on ebay for a lot of money, so it's a kick in the junk to see it being rereleased at retail. However, I hope to pick up both cassette rereleases to actually open and display. I hope all the other G1 cassettes get rereleases, as they've always been some of my favorite TF toys. Kind of a shame that cassettes are no longer relevant, as the chest storage gimmick for Soundwave was fantastic, and there really exists no modern analogy. Kids today just don't know what they're missing. That said, I hope we get a cassette player Soundwave for the WFC line, although it's a bit of a bummer that they shrunk the cassettes.
  23. M'Kyuun
    Concerning MP Bee 2.0, I'd rather they proceed with producing the characters that haven't been done yet, especially since third parties have already released chibi versions of BB keeping with the toy and toon looks. I like the first version of MP Bee, even with its minor flaws. That said, I'm curious, if the rumor proves true (and I imagine it is given Bee's popularity and Takara's penchant for remaking characters ever more toon-worthy) what the new version will look like. I just got MMC's Hellion, so for consistency's sake, it'd be nice to have all the Minibot cars look their G1 selves. I just wish there were more official versions of them. I think, and wish, that Takara should be wheeling and dealing with Porche to let them do Jazz and Cliffjumper. These are two big omissions from the current MP line, and it'd be fantastic to have official versions of both, rather than rehashing characters that have already been done (Prime, Bee, and the umpteen recolors of MP Megs). I've always had a soft spot for Hound, both as a character and for his design, so the MP announcement was bittersweet; I was initially excited until pics of the grayscale were shown. The face just looks wrong to me, not to mention the weird swingbar to which his head apparently attaches. Anyway, feeling rather disappointed, I turned to Maketoys to fill that particular gap in my collection, with no regrets- really nice figure.
  24. M'Kyuun
    I thought the same initially, but after comparing pics of Rosa to Alita, I realized the whole face was CG. Turns out, more than just her face, so yeah, the entirety of the character is a construct. I guess I can understand it, although that means they could have hired any decent actress to play the role. A little disappointed that they made it PG-13, but I get it from the POV of getting butts in seats; anime and manga translations haven't done well historically, GiTS being the most recent example, so I can understand making it accessible to younger viewers. I think this is going to be one of those films, however, where no prior knowledge of the manga or the anime helps it. I've seen the anime, but never read the manga, so my background is meager, which I think will only enhance my enjoyment. I hope it turns out to be a decent film.
  25. M'Kyuun
    I always liked the Batmobile-esque quality of Classics Hot Rod, too, although bot mode was quite weak in the articulation dept. Even back in '07, I think I would have preferred that Classics be more faithful to a toon/toy mix, more in keeping with the earlier MP line. However, I also came around to appreciating the 'close but not slavish design' approach. Classics Hound and Mirage are still two of my all-time favorite figures from any line, and are certainly standouts among the rather large and growing CHUG pantheon. Classics Hound is still the superior figure between Classics and Siege, IMHO. (Alex Kubalsky is a really talented designer, and I continue to bemoan his leaving Takara.) I totally agree with your comment concerning Classics Megatron- interesting approach to keep his gun mode, but execution just went south. I think he'd have been a far better figure if they could've found a way to lose the wings and just use his body parts like the G1 toy. Alas, it's TF history now.
