Yeah, the ThreeZero figures were expensive and can't transform. From what I understand, only Hasbro/Takara are allowed to make toys that transform, and the licensees can't can their transform.

Springer was what, Siege, so it was two or three years ago at this point, I can totally understand people who missed him but then got into SS 1986 movie toys wanting him. So they'll sell this then introduce a new mold next year to milk you. It also fits in with the subline.
I expect all the references to "transform" in the Lego set to be replaced with "convert" like with the Robosen figure.

Thanks, that's the 4th Transformer bundle I got (missed out on the first I think). Love it.Humble Bundle is up for IDW's "final phase" I haven't checked but if you're at all interested in their comics (RIP) now's the time:

It's also got Transformers '84 which was a short mini-series right before the IDW re-launch, it was enjoyable for me. The final phase is def where things fall apart but there's still some good stuff happening in there. I enjoyed Combiner Wars if only for Windblade, and I think this is he part of Lost Light where Tarn shows up and they're stuck on Necrobot's planet.
There's definitely extra stuff. All the 2019 reboot stuff is there (the Transformers 2019 volumes 1, 2, 3, Beast Wars, probably other stuff) and I want to say the last bundle didn't have Lost Light 25. Also (if the last bundle included a bunch of single issues and now that everything is collected these are all collections. But the numbering is confusing, Humble Bundle doesn't even order these in a coherent way, so I have no idea if this is actually complete.

Does this get me everything for the MTMTE and Lost Light?
That is unexpected I guess, lol

Yes. That's all of Phase 2 and Phase 3 overall outside of some of the Revolutions crossover junk.
Sucks that Twin Twist is just a recolor. The original figure was along with its other wave-mates pretty much non-existant in these parts. Early waves had so many shelfwarmers that by the time we got to wave 5 or 6 or whatever there wasn't any space for them.

I'm so happy I backed Victory Saber. The articulation was quite a surprise! It has joints that many MP figures don't have!
I think he does. Also comes with the rubber ducks as well.
I just sold MP 43 yesterday too. A guy bought it for his 6 year old son.
Wow, it's pretty weird for BBTS to get anything before it's already out everywhere else.
After 25-30 years, I finally have a complete G1 Bruticus. One of the reprints of the Italian all-in-one pack was up on eBay for half the usual going price, so I snapped it up instantly.
EDIT: Good thing it's staying in Bruticus mode, as for the life of me I cannot get Blast-Off's arms to pop out to swivel over, and I'm not risking breaking it.

I recommend watching Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers movie. Yes, I know which thread I'm in.
Don't click if you want to be surprised.

Yeah, there's a lot of Paramount and WB IPs/licences being referenced in the movie even if the characters aren't showing up themselves.
Newage Ymir
I think I'm gunna get this. It looks really nice and the 2 other new age figures I have are hella nice
I've gotten 1 or 2 through them like this. On the other hand they still haven't sent my Perceptor. I wish I just bought it in the store when I saw it
In hand Motomaster. Not really digging the Menasaur look with the snap on parts and inability to show the legs

Transformers Legacy Motormaster In-Hand Images – Menasor Comparison Size & Combiner Wars Compatibility
Courtesy of Hasbro Designer Mark "Markclonus" Maher on Instagram we can share new official in-hand images of the highly anticipated Legacy Motormaster. The new images show not only Motormaster but his Combiner form as Menasor's body (with Dragstrip as arm). The comparison size images reveal that...

I'm a little bummed that the arms remain a bit too long (just like in combiner wars) when even more so here they don't need to be. That and the hands not having any articulation. At least the hands/feet are not separate pieces, I hated the handfootguns.
Pretty minor things compared to the whole package.

So there's apparently an officially-licensed Metal Slug transformer coming out, albeit from a company I haven't heard of before: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/thre...ug-super-vehicle.1215433/page-2#post-20271635

Yeah, I heard about this. It's pretty damn cool!
Really happy this is a thing that can exist and that someone designing these put thought into it:
Hasbro did an amazing job with the Junkions.
On another note, I think MP-33's water accessory is the most fun accessory in any figure... for immature people like me.
Finally found some of the newer transformers with the open face boxes... I'm not a mint in box collector or anything, but every box I've gotten is crushed in some way, so I can't imagine that collectors who don't open their toys are very happy (they also aren't very happy about completely closed box toys either, so I don't know what the solution is if they're not going to use plastic)
Ordered Fans Hobby "Naval Commander" (Armada Optimus) and Meg today. Anyone know if the breakage issues Optimus had in its initial run has been fixed or is it still an issue?
No auto-transforming trailer: -1
Cab form without visible fists on the back: +2
Combined form not a literal statue: +3
That crystal on the Matrix: priceless (seriously, why don't we have more official matrixes like that?)
Man, the original Armada Prime was such a misguided one-trick pony. Probably number 1 in my list of "to sell" when I dust off the boxes in the basement.
Was fixed after the first run and Fans Hobby will send out replacement parts if it does break
I'm giving it another go watching G1 and while I've made it through season 1 a few times I always seem to struggle with what order to watch it in. The order on my DVDs vs. the order they were aired, etc.
Anyway I spend more time on this than is worth today trying to get everything tidy on my plex server and I've made it to Ultimate Doom pt. 2 and Sky/Jet Fire, Snarl, and Swoop just sorta show up and fuck, I'm questioning everything again.
I think this gets better as time goes on in Season 2 it is just frustrating. I've seen these particular episodes too many times and they are so relatively meaningless but my watch order ocd is killing me.

I love the G1 cartoon, but you have to watch it knowing it's all bobbins and nonsense. I've been watching it again over the past few months with my fiancée and it's gotten her into Transformers and buying models, where she had no interest before.
If you want G1 with continuity and drama, then you need to read the combined US and UK comics. I did a reading order based on the Titan reprints years ago, but I put the original issue numbers in too, so you can use any collection nowadays and follow those:

I've also heard from tons of people that the comics can be great but I am really not a comics reading person. At least not today.
What I'll say for the cartoon is near the end of Season 2; watch Aerial Assault at any point after The Revenge Of Bruticus. It just doesn't make sense chronologically otherwise.
There are some genuinely good episodes buried in there, like Hoist Goes Hollywood and The Girl Who Loved Powerglide, so it's not all bad.
They're also good for all the combiners that come later
For me the G1 stuff is just comfort. I think GI Joe holds better but G1 is better than TMNT. For that era of toons
