    This looks like a knock-off you\'d find on EBay for five dollars.

    like a more disappointing version of radioactivity, yes



    I'm all for bonkers redecos, I dislike weird channels for exclusives even though I must admit that's often the only real way to produce a bonkers redeco, and I don't have a particular thing for the actual G1 toys

    so I won't be getting this but I do like that it's an oddball thing that is no doubt precisely up someone else's alley. I can respect that.

    This means that after Jurassic Park[​IMG] and after J.Balvin[​IMG], this crossover should be expected (unless, of course, only Disney agree). And of course we will get all the fun and, among other things, we will get a new maximal character named Gazazelle straight from stasis pod. Well, of course, we cannot do without the latest mold on this topic.

    Is there a way to buy without a phone app. My phone is too "dumb" to run the app apparently--keeps saying I need an update so I assume this is a compatibility issue.

    I know, right? I’d actually would be more motivated to get it if it was a seeker repaint.

    I mean, in this case there’s the music connection so I get it even if it’s “played out” if you know what I mean :D

    You either are or are not a "Boomer", since it's referencing a generation - not a type of person. This is probably the single dumbest trend in linguistics I've seen in awhile since the entire etymology breaks down along the lines of ignorance as to what the term actually means...

    At $70 I think I'm down for this just for the tapes more than anything. I don't get why Hasbro is so fucking stingy with re-releasing G1 cassettes.

    Because you want it. They're focusing on modern G1, not classic G1. If it wasn't for Walmart taking a chance, there wouldn't be reissues right now. (I don't get Hasbro sometimes. I don't hate 'em, I just don't get 'em.)

    Oh, seeing the video NTWRK posted he actually comes with the full Jetfire gun, not just half.

    Okay. Still only want it if it's on pulse.

    Hahaha, I agree with what you've said and how you feel about its current use versus it's actual meaning. But when it seems the new default response from a growing number of people is "okay boomer" whenever they have no other comeback whenever you disagree with them and they have come to the conclusion they might be at least a year younger than you (Even though you might be 39 and they are 38).....I've given up the fight and have decided to simply go with it, because I would need to explain the proper meaning of the term before I could even begin arguing about the original topic.

    Ooooh! I get it.

    "Vibras Stripes" named after his 2018 album.

    and "Energia Buzzsaw" after this 2016 one.

    And the smiley face motif is his most recent:

    I get the distinct impression the goal was the throwback nature of the original mold.

    "The first collaboration with a celebrity". This isn't even the first G1 Soundwave mold recolor which was a collaboration with a celebrity attached lol!

    Granted they go on to specify the collaborative label specifically later on. Still hilarious.

    I\'m going to fully admit,  I am 45 (solidly Gen X) and I have no idea what this is. I also asked both my kids (15 and 16), and they have no clue either. So there you go. Still, if someone is going to shame me, rememebr, before you do, I held back from commenting a few days ago when the Universal Draculus crossover was revealed, and so many younger fans had no clue what that was either. I think this was made in direct response to that actually ;) . In my book we are even.
