    I feel like that's a bad idea. It is a powerful statement about who Pike is that he would dive into an extremely dangerous situation to save others, and it is more powerful if he does so with full knowledge of what it will condemn him to. Throwing a "get out of jail free" card onto the pile afterwards undermines that statement.

    At least it didn't scream itself to death.

    It's clearly meant for the digital battlefield. It was designed to fight for the users in the battle against the MCP.

    I mean, the Eugenics Wars ended in 1996. I think we're clearly off the Star Trek timeline at this point either way. This is probably for the best, as World War 3 is scheduled for 2026.

    If they actually do holograms, that'll be cool. If they just do shiny foil then pbbbbth. If I recall, most of the titular masks were reworked. Toy safety laws had just changed, and all the masks were not in compliance with new choking hazard rules. They remolded them to be some combination of larger(so they were harder to get in there) and well-ventilated(so they didn't block airflow completely if they did get in there).

    Nope and nope, in that order.

    Man, that Moderoid Mega Force stuff's got a real XPanders vibe to it. Speaking of toy lines that need a relaunch...

    True story, I'm still using that old hotmail account. I enjoy the look on people's faces when I say "at hotmail dot com"

    Same. Refit Constitution is my favorite Star Trek ship.

    And they had to redo all the new CG from scratch because they never got the original files from the company they hired to render the scenes, just final video at 480p. And then the company went out of business, so they COULDN'T get the original files and had to reconstruct the scenes from scratch.

    Also, things that pop on a picture tube look drab on an LCD. I've had to stop viewing and change screens before because some old anime DVD was just flat and lifeless. The same should apply here, with the 2001 DVD being mastered for picture tubes.

    That neck is awful. No two ways about it. Toy supremacists don't just want a clear neck, they want smokey plastic over random mechanical bits. This is the wrong color and lacks the innards. I don't know how they came to the conclusion anyone wanted it.

    Pretty sure it will bear precious little resemblence to Voltron or Golion anyways.

    It really seems like this is just a decade too late. The 80s nostalgiabomb market's been pushed aside for other things at this point.

    I like it! Blitzwing having bits of the other modes hanging off in every mode is one of those signature things where I don't want a cleaner vehicle. And this looks designed to have them hang in vaguely useful places.

    Daaaaang. Like, I appreciate that they wrote ends for everyone, but there seems a penchant for bleakness there. At least Archer dodges some miserable fate and dies of simple old age?

    They do make surprisingly good cars. Better than some that actually look like they should transform. Can't much hold the backpack against 'em when every RC-ish packs large swaths of car shell into a backpack. At this point it's a signature feature of the character.

    I'm looking at the car, and it looks oddly familiar... Mocha's almost a sexy version of the Go-Bot Psycho.

    I mean, my Targets never had crap either. But Target had less chain-exclusive robots.

    A sample of a sample, at that!

    Best kinda dog.

    Shadow's the most important team member!
  23. JB0
    My Toys R Us never had crap in plastic robots. A TRU exclusive just meant it wasn't shipping here.

    Glad they ain't straight-up dead, and that they're trying to make good on old promises instead of just nope'ing off into the sunset.

    Oh. It is a really weird position, and I'm not rightly sure how it gets there. I don't really see any way to go from "mounted parallel to the chest" to "perpindicular to the chest and touching right in the center".
