    I would seriously be fine with this approach. If you have any contact with the Hasbro rep let them know that Studio Series fans would not hesitate to buy an unlicensed and slightly altered alt mode version of Dino/Mirage.

    Having vehicles be licensed is a nice feature of the toys but it is not necessary if it means they are able to release notable characters. ROTF Sideways was accurate enough to an Audi R8 and if they could do something similar for a Studio Series Dino (and a Studio Series Sideways) I wouldn't complain in the least.

    *Cautiously posts pics hoping that they’re not “JoJo” pictures, whatever those are.*

    My favourite Movie Voyager, Scorn. A3D31613-7E14-424F-9ECA-9D6769D501AE.jpeg 570607AA-792D-4FE4-B85F-ABAEA5391F46.jpeg

    That's sucks. Too bad they weren't made from metal, then you could just sweep for him with a magnet. I'm certain that I'm going to lose mine eventually too.

    Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is a popular anime and the pictures are basically just memes/references to what happens in the show/manga.

    Filthy Geewunner that I am I want an MPM of BB Prime, but not before completing the ‘07 cast or TLK Megatron. C763BB9F-1E00-407D-9AE7-BDA7F2FF45D4.jpeg 4E808D9D-18DC-4423-A94F-B1A6285315B4.jpeg

    In my defence I am aware of the franchise, mainly the video game, I just haven’t seen any of it so I don’t recognize anything based on it.

    I guess I’m too old, I’m busy playing WOWS on XB1 and baking. No time for new fangled anime, gonna watch me some Akira tonight.

    On Laserdisc! And I’ll love it! That’ll show all you young whippersnappers! :D

    No contacts there. This conversation came about after I contacted the company in regards to what I knew about the release of the figure. When it didn't happen I reached out to them, and spoke with someone who had knowledge of the situation. The way they explained it was that the toy had passed from the design stage to concept to being approved for production, which did not happen, as we are aware. I do know that they watch these forums often, and use the information here to assist their design and marketing teams, but that's all that I know. I think they missed a great opportunity with both Mirage and Wheeljack, even though I was not a fan of the latter's design in DOTM.

    there's a random tab on jetfire's back between his wings, and there's a random slot on prime's roof panel/back.
    stick jet mode jetfire on bot mode prime's back to give him wings.

    Hey all. I’m looking to buy some figures for my MPM scaled collection.
    Does BMB brawl fit the 1/30th scale?

    Fingers crossed that TLK Barricade has the licensed Mustang alt-mode!

    The second option, I hope. What a slap in the face would it be if Leadfoot was the only one of the Wreckers without a new mold. It's not even that accurate, it looks lanky IMO. DOTM Topspin was a perfectly accurate looking mold yet Hasbro still made him a new design.

    Most of us don't even collect Transformers for alt-modes, otherwise we'd be Hot Wheels collectors. I'm totally fine if they just released him as a not-Ferrari. Anything just so that red fucker can see the light of day. It's been 2 years!!!
