yeah, but saying "prime" several times in mutable contexts in the same sentences also sounds weird. Still, the toon was good. I don't think I've ever liked Megatron more.

Dunno. Kinda reminds me of the Prime Wars trilogy where Optimus constantly had cracked windows. Just a side note, my son and I watched the whole trilogy this morning, and I really liked it. Some of the character choices were curious, some were clearly related to the toy line, but all of them...

That bothers you far more than it does me. Right now, I'm leaning toward Magic Square, but I want to see reviews along with TE-01 reviews before I jump on one or the other.

I think I paid $25 for Hotrod, but I felt dirty afterwards. After thansgiving, I did buy the $10 G1 prime that doesn't transform... just 'cuz.

Nice! I bought him Power of the Primes Optimus for x-mas along with CW Megatron. He needed the larger versions b/c he already had the big seekers, and it wouldn't do to have starscream looking down on megatron. Otherwise, I'd likely have opted for the new one. I saw the G1 reissue Prime at...

They've been spotted at various spotty WM's around the country. Haven't hit here though. I'm jelly.

It's so damn big. But if you have Generations Metro, you already know that. It makes the G1 toy look like a cute pet.

Yeah, I have it on the PC and got bored pretty quickly, but I think my almost 12-yo will have a ball with it. I'll enjoy watching him play more than playing that one myself.

I know nursing home mistreatment is bad... that's why I'm counting on the kids to at least look for the signs and at least minimize the damage. Alex sees all my 3P stuff, but he's not overly obsessed with G1 the way I am, plus he knows the 3P stuff is expensive and often fragile. He's...

Well, that's not why I had kids, but it's a consideration. If anything, I will try very hard not to be a burden to my kids. They can send me to a home and just make sure I'm not mistreated, that's all. But I do enjoy teaching them stuff, watching them grow, and hanging out with them. My son...

Sure, green children don't need rides to soccer practice, but they're also not going to keep you fully stocked with depends when you're a grumpy old fart.

Who would do this?!?! I guess it counts as NSFW...

I like the big arms and don't care about perfect toon accuracy. Right now, I'm leaning Magic Square, but TE is a close second. I can see myself with both when all is said and done. My growing Prime collection is already absurd. Just look at the back of the legs and tell me which one is the...

I understand what you're getting at (and it is pretty clever), but it doesn't change how absurdly long the arms are. Those proportions are something I would absolutely expect jinbao to adjust. They love fixing/upgrading the figures they knock-up, and that one is too obvious.

Yeah, I don't want simplified toony, but I don't want gritty overly detailed either unless it fits the source material. I guess that's why Constructor hit all the right buttons for me. I don't mind the detail per se on GB necessarily, but the new interpretations are where they lose me. And...

My only issue with the Jinbao stuff is the fact that they are copying stuff that's only marginally G1 aesthetically. The things they are copying are pretty fast and loose with the interpretations.

Just out of curiosity, why OS GB instead of Constructor? Aesthetics, price, size, or something else?

I bought him back in July and completely forgot about it until TFD sent me a shipping notice a few weeks ago. The car mode blows Downbeat away... makes DB look like a fisher price toy. The bot mode looks good too, and it really comes down to aesthetics. I like the wider chest on Hova, but I...

It's Mr Negative from Dan Slott's run on Amazing Spidey... circa 2-3 years ago. He's a good character, and based on who he's packaged with, I assume he's in the new PS4 Spider-Man game (haven't played it yet). It's the Prof X buck alright, but the set is $20, so it's not like you could...

Again, you're posting pics that prove my point :) That still from the cartoon is drawn from foot-level such that you're looking up at him and see the underside of his helmet, chest, waist, etc,, thereby making the legs seem larger and the torso shortened because of the perspective, NOT because...
