    I couldn't imagine getting rid of things I like..unless something I like better comes out, in which I case I might start selling things. Otherwise, they'll just go into a bin. And if I start getting bored with a display, I just switch it out with one that's been in the bin, and just keep alternating.
    we already got a KO Jazz, and it's pretty much the same, only better paint apps.

    But I personally prefer the bumper mod, since it gives him the "Ironhide bulk", whereas the kit gives him a SUPER slim waist. 20200404_195843-01.jpeg

    That said, I'm sure the extra guns and new get are a nice addition.

    Yeah! A few hours ago, @Shmoptimus Prime posted a pic of Barricade warning everybody to stay inside or he'd come for us but apparently @Shmoptimus Prime snuck out and disobeyed Barricade OR Barricade is being too nice!

    I like to split the treads of Scrapmetal like this for a more jagged look but it's still the same length. LRM_EXPORT_71614199796808_20190903_230940928.jpeg

    You’d have to contact Dino’s Model Shop on Instagram. He’s legit though. Never bought from him but I almost did.

    I just realized there's a T shaped tab on the smaller faux wheel of Mixmaster that tabs into a slot on his buttcheeks for the combined mode.

    See, I really didn't care for Bumblebee all that much. It had its moments, but I left being kind of disappointed. I think a lot of my interest in it evaporated when they decided it wasn't a prequel to the first movie. It had a ton of elements that were obviously supposed to tie in and just ended up as pointless. And a lot of plot contrivances to get around it too.

    I have to agree here. They kind of bored me. I know Sam wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but the first two movies, he kind of does play the "kid thrown into an intergalactic robot war" thing pretty well. Also, the scene with his parents and him at the end of RotF, after the Rampage fight, I think is super well done and adds a lot of emotion where it absolutely didn't need to.

    Most of time in Bumblebee I found myself wondering how Sector 7 actually managed to exist, given all of it's members were absolute morons, to be honest. I know Simmons was bizarre at times, but he was at least helpful and surrounded by other agents who seemed to be competent.

    Yeah, I could agree with that. It was nice to have a trio of robots hang around with the cast, but maybe they could've chosen Sideswipe instead? It seems like the Twins were meant to be characters that entertained kids, but then Bay decided to make them PG-13 instead.

    Funny thing is the reboot announcement made me excited. Finally a new start that doesn’t have to deal with the weird plot points of the constantly changing writers and plot points of the other 5 movies.

    The AOE human cast was okay but it could've done without Tessa and Shane with that stupid GF and BF crap throughout the film. The rest were fine to me as they all had something to do and each of them had a goal e.g. Harold Attinger and his goal to take down all Transformers.

    I feel I'm in the minority and think the original trilogy humans were better. Didn't really care for Markie Mark and the gang besides Stanley Tucci's character.

    I liked the first trilogy humans more too. I like Mark, both as an actor and his Cade character, and Tucci. Cade’s daughter was pointless as hell, I hated her character, same with that stupid boyfriend. Hopkins’ character was good, but of course, it’s Anthony Hopkins so that’s a given.

    Charlie was fantastic in Bumblebee, so was everyone else in that movie. They did a good job. John Cena’s character was the typical one-dimensional soldier type, but he was okay overall too

    I wrote a whole bunch of stuff regarding the human element and Autobot character treatment in Bay's movies, then I intentionally deleted it all. So...

    I prefer a Knight driven storytelling over Bay any day, and I like the 2007 movie too.

    Sorry.

    TF2007’s humans were good. ROTF was uhhh, alright except for the toilet humor. DOTM same thing. AOE and TLK were just rough overall.

    So I’m with you. I empathized with Charlie, I think all of us who’ve lived at that age can. Her relationship with Bee was endearing

    She was a much needed reprieve from the other lead characters in previous movies. I really appreciated the "Iron Giant" movie treatment. The Iron Giant is also a wonderful movie in my book.
