    Anyone remember if G1 season 4 and Rebirth took place more on Earth or in space? I noticed that POTP seems largely inspired by "Call of the Primitives".

    Bring on Scorponok and Omega Supreme!

    Masterpiece Beast Wars has what you’re looking for. Takara-Tomy all the way if you’re tired of cheap homages and want screen-accurate versions of the characters properly scaled to each other.

    Dude, you need to use periods and capital letters for new sentences- your posts are all long run on sentences that are incredibly difficult to read.

    Also, what was wrong with the 3 BW figures we got for thrilling 30? Besides the uncovered belly on Rattrap, I thought the designs were fantastic

    I wish they would continue to do more of them, I loved that Ratrap Rhinox and Waspinator, Was hoping the whole cast would have been done by now. Really wanted good terrasaur, scorponok, Dinobot, ect. Seems like they are going the MP way at the moment with the characters and that sucks cause they cost like 200 bucks a figure

    Agreed. Since the MP line is taking care of the S1 characters though, aould be great if the generations line could tackle TM and TM2 but something tells me we won’t get anything with chrome- the only generations figure I can think of with chrome is T30 Jetfire

    Except it's clearly a different font and styling than the type used in the words "War for Cybertron." Even the "A" in WAR is thinner than the one you used. The M and I look a little too wide and bold too.

    They also just did a box set called Seige on Cybertron pretty recently... I doubt they'd use something so similar sounding so soon. I agree with the other poster who said "Seige: War for Cybertron" doesn't quite sound right. Maybe you're correct, we'll see, but I just can't see them going from titles like Combiner Wars, Titans Return, and Power of the Primes, to.... "SEIGE"

    The first bit was on Earth, but the most of Rebirth was Nebulos or Cybertron.

    Using the G and E as reference, they're 36 pixels square in the image.

    4 block letters and an 'I' would fit perfectly. 5 block letters would not.

    Fudge of War for Cybertron.

    Equal portion of the trilogy will have its own baked goods included with the figures.

    Collect em all to make dessert for Megatron before he throws a tantrum and starts the war.

    Same here. Unfortunately, those things peg-warming probably doomed any deluge of BW figures for the forseeable future. BBTS might still have some of those on clearance for 75% off.

    Bbts has a ton pf generations figures on clearance. Would not call them all peg/ shelf warmers- it is a terribly overused term.

    True enough, but it certainly applies to those BW figures from Generations (as well as Scoop and to a slightly lesser degree, Nightbeat.) They warmed the shelves in Targets and Walmarts for months and months, at a minimum in the four states I regularly travel as well as the states along the way where BotCon and JoeCon were at those years. I was late showing my kids the Beast Wars DVDs, but that did let me buy them those figures for a third to a quarter of the cost. They spent nearly as much time warming the shelves at retail as the Leader CW Seekers did, and were also clearanced out in online stores as well - showing it wasn't just a regional thing.
