    If I may have a mild, grumpy rant about something that bugs me about certain Masterpiece fans - can I just say, we all want an MP Jazz. You do, I do, Beryl down the road does. But posting about how much you want one literally every day isn’t going to change the fact that it is contingent on Porsche’s say-so. Porsche said no when they were approached about a Binaltech Jazz and there is no indication they have changed their mind, and “my spidey sense is telling me there will be a reveal soon” is not a counterpoint to that cold, hard fact.

    What the foggy fuck is a Golf? I mean, they can't exactly get the Buggy without VW screeching like a madman about licenses, so those are the best we got unless they pull some miracle for the inevitable ER CJ remold

    Yep those totally look like Beetles. What a miracle VW didn't sue Hasbro to the ground!

    Oh wait.

    On a related side-note CHUG Bee's car looks really adorable :D

    Take the spoiler off of the first one and give him bigger front fenders and he'd be a buggy. I don't get the complaint though; Starscream's a halfassed F15, Optimus was FAR from the Freightliner until Earthrise, the Datsuns were the closest by nature of being in the same car company's design

    I’ll agree, they would throw a tantrum, but there’s plenty of real world beetle knockoffs. These are VW Golfs btw- 7492A5F3-F483-4421-A3DD-16F2A3BD8B44.jpeg 63F57F33-E0BE-426D-B1BE-7740BA308BC5.jpeg

    It's OK, dude, I was just giving you a hard time.

    Have they revealed a Bee for Earthrise yet? Maybe he'll scratch that itch.

    You know I kinda enjoy having options for my classics g1 guys, I feel like people keep forgetting that not everyone has been doing this whole collecting thing since the beginning of time and that new fans being able to get like an Optimus or a sunstreaker or a soundwave easily is a good thing, plus, options mean you don’t have to stick to one figure for a character, wouldn’t be like extremely shitty if hastak only had one chance to do a figure and when it came time for your favorite character they drop the ball and that’s it, I dunno I just feel like some people blow the g1 stuff outta proportion yea sure it’s sorta bad, but it’s been longer than ten years between classics and Siege mirage, isn’t a good thing for someone else to Be Able to get a mirage, this isn’t about biases or “well what about insert characters here” I dunno man I thought I had something here

    Sadly none yet, but i spotted a yellowish, BB-shaped silhouette on the ER box art, so he’s probably coming at some point. They’ll probably include a trailer like the Classics version to make it worth the £17/$20.

    That would be the second possibility, especially because that Furai model kit they released had one.

    Look, if summoning God himself isn't fixing the problem, I dunno what is.
