    My love for these movie figures, which I've owned for a while now, just continues to grow. (Damn you Hasbro marketing!) lol
    ...and yes, I've watched all 5 movies in the last week.

    the first 3 are so damn nostalgic to me....they remind me of good times as a young teen. The 4th and 5th installments are ok....but I have no special attachment to them.

    I can't see Hasbro pulse doing that, as stratosphere is a more obscure character who's robot never showed up on screen. Unicron was more of an iconic character in the g1 series, so it makes more sense why people would drop hundreds of dollars on him. I'm not sure how many people would back a stratosphere project, as he's essentially a nobody, and Hasbro is likely wondering the same thing.

    I could however, see a third party taking this opportunity to make an SS scaled stratosphere.

    I REALLY love SS Megatron. Such a shame they couldn't pin this figure in the appropriate places.

    Until now. :)

    I'm not sure 3rd parties are interested in making something with a 4ft/120cm wing span.

    Yeah but to her big bro gets usually gets whatever she wants within reason.

    I may set up a reward system like i had in middle school you get good grades and ace at least 2 tests you get 1 or 2 new things you want.

    In truth i probably spoiled her but hey thats big bros are for

    I think the reward system would be the best idea tbh. I had something similar as a kid and it taught me that good grades are rewarding because it leads to a bright future AND Transformers.

    I do the same with the neighbors boy, he does well in school for say a month, I give him a random Transformers from a downsizing box of mine. Best way to learn early on that do something good and get rewarded.

    Just looking over ww2 'bee, a jeep retool wouldn't be hard at all, basic reshell, remold the chest and slightly alter the way the arms sit in alt mode. Totally doable.

    idk with the raised prices annouced yesterday for future hasbro stuff, removing the backdrops would be a pretty safe price cut

    Go you! I do agree that there is something about the ROTF Mixmaster that looks far more accurate than the Studio Series version.

    Perhaps it's the spindly body type.
