    Man, I love the creativity of those early movie lines. So many unique alt modes and transformations.

    And Galvatron totally stole this guy’s chest design. What a poser.

    Been trying my best to get SS Devvy into some actual poses. It's difficult but fun. I really wish the shoulders were stronger. They flop down at the slightest opportunity and love to untab from the back.

    I used to own this but sold it after about a year. It's a very old figure from like 2014 this is just a reissue. It's really fun and cute. This is what the transforming one that BA was working on before he got arrested would have looked like (to complement the megatron they made) except it would have transformed. Only thing with this figure is that it's got the wrong arms (pre knight arms) and the head is so heavy that he can fall over sometimes.
    The one thing 3P has done to the fandom that isn't positive is that a lot of people only focus on the look of something in promo pics. They nitpick and tear things apart and say stuff like "how dare they call this a masterpiece!!!" when a lot of them are well built, fun figures that accomplish a lot within a limited budget. I think this figure looks fun as heck, and yes there are things to criticize about it for sure but I think it will surprise some people.

    PicsArt_07-16-09.39.06.jpg Wish TLK had more original characters and not "repaints". Would love to have the whole crew regardless.

    Anyways, here is my current wip. I have been meaning to do this guy and it just happened last night. PXL_20210716_095944413.PORTRAIT.jpg

    Question: On Devastator, do Overload's legs actually lock in anywhere? Or just kind of hang out?

    Unfortunately they don't lock in. I wish they did.

    Would definitely help the combined mode a lot. What I've taken to doing is to extend his middle "toe" and plug it into the space under Mixmaster.

    Why does no one want a SS release of the Twins? Like okay you don't like the characters, don't buy them. I personally enjoyed the characters and like em or not they were critical to RotF's plot.

    I still don't agree with the idea they were "problematic", I never saw them as anything but Cybertronian children trying to act earth "hard" like half the kids at my schools did back around then.

    It’s not “we don’t want them” it’s “we know Hasbro will not make them, so we shouldn’t keep asking for it”. Even insiders/leakers have stated Hasbro will not touch those two.

    Could the same be said for everything we've gotten with Studio Series and the WFC Trilogy? Like looking at PotP and TLK toylines there was like no hope for anything compitent general consumer wise for G1, Beast Wars, or the Movies. Then we got them and while Hasbro is doing these incredible quality general consumer figures we should push for every inch we can get before we go back to the blocky, ultra-simplistic repaint factory we had previously.

    No effort, no payoff is pretty much my sentimentality here. Worst Hasbro can say is no but I'm gonna keep asking till we get a yes.

    No, I mean Hasbro wants nothing to do with the characters. It’s not a “this hasn’t been done in a while so they won’t do it” situation. Hasbro refuses to bring those characters back up in any way. WFC is all G1, it’s literally the most predictable and safe toy line I’ve seen in ages.

    Twins aren’t happening because they had a very negative public response, and they most likely don’t want that to be brought up again (especially in today’s climate). Much like dickbot. So go ahead, keep asking, but your yelling into an empty void at this point.
