    To be honest, if he had a singular tailfin, it would be close enough for me (but I'm not a plane afficiado). And hopefully his thrusters underneath are done correctly. Maybe those tailfins can fold together into one? I am hopeful.


    Damn, hope you feel better quickly. Apeface certainly feels like a TR design, but that's not a bad thing.


    Nottingham by any chance? Took me 50 minutes to do 20 minutes.There was a huge traffic jam running past my office until 9:30. And with repairs on Clifton Bridge meant to be ongoing for the rest of the year, it's gonna become a right pain in the arse commuting from here on out.

    So they fired Dan for PC SJW ideas to go to a company who has recently failed badly with PC SJW ideas. Wow.

    There is that. Lol. Diversity will solve everything you know, there's certainly no need to bother with stories or good writing.

    Either the leadership at the company is really incompetent( which it probably is given the recent failure of BOP from Christina Hodson and her given The Flash as a result, rewarding failure) or it's a joke piece. Can't understand how a company could go from swatting away PC SJW ideas to go to a company literally tanking in sales from the same ideas.

    Plus it is fun to saw out loud. Lan-go-lieeerssssssss. LANG-Ga-Lieeerssssssssssss.

    Plus it sounds a bit like what you might call a group of Langers, which is a slang term for penis.

    Wish'd I'd seen this warning, alas, my graps now has a peg stuck in his hole. But sure he seems to hobble on regardless.

    Commiserations, Brian, that horse may have bolted but maybe a cap trimming of the remainder might help keep the stable door on? Or was yours just the single super-tight peg?

    So mercenary Bu = Select series Bugbite, eh?
    Unless they do him from Cliffy, that seems to point to an ER 'Bee rather than in Chapter 3, right?

    Just the one peg thankfully, so it all still holds together as long as I don't shake it. Hopefully the inevitable Inferno won't have the same issue. It's a bit curious that there was zero mention of Inferno at Toy Fair or in that massive list of rumoured bots.

    And I pegged that too, it would make sense that if they are doing bugbite, it is coming from a Bumblebee? But Hasbro do like to squeeze what they can from a mold, and might just make a Bugbite flavoured Cliff.

    That's a connexion I always knew existed but never would think too much about it.
    Penises DO eat time and space.

    I kinda hope not with Select Hubcap due from Cliffy already, that might mean they're getting a bit blasé about back-to-back mold re-use outside of the Seeker Spectrum!

    It's bound to happen. Especially as Fasttrack will also transform into a staff.

    Sky Lynx also blew me away from the video I saw. The ratchets in the neck are a fantastic idea.

    Were there any WWE figure reveals at all from the Toy Fair? I saw the AEW ones but nothing regarding WWE.

    Well... I don't exactly dislike the back-to-back repainting. Considering how many years it took to get a complete set of Classic Seekers, I'm not against the obvious mold reuses coming out in quick order (so happy to see all 3 Coneheads on Skylynx's box).

    But I get what you mean. It's like Crosshairs being an Ironhide repaint. Great figure. But... it just felt a bit of a cheap and lazy reuse. I mean TR Kup was right there and barring one Orion Pax use, it was destined to be Crosshairs. Its fine! FINE! I'm over it. Really.


    The more I see of that new ER Megs the more I like. It's the alt-mode. It's more put-together than his Siege version. But... is it just me or does the head look a little too far forward?

    Also, hope the flu fucks off @barry

    Yeah, actual proper tank treads and a complete skirting look great for the tank, not sure whether the way it's sitting is it's a slight relocation or if the resculpt is that bit more jawsome... Siege's noggin is that bit prettier IMO. Definitely leaving him until regular retail release, and seeing if head-swapping feasibility is proven by someone else first!

    That really can't be the head for Megs, it's worse than an Authentic one.
