p.s. since there is already an existing line called RID, we should probably refer to the new one as PRID or just TFP to avoid confusion.


Yes. RiD is about ten years old so there are probably lots of fans here who don't know about it.

This isn't something I just noticed, but I've wondered about for a couple years now. What's the purpose of Animated Voyager Starscream's (or any repaint of the figure) forearm features? They pop out when you slide the gun forward, but really don't serve a purpose.

Anyone able to give me a clue?

I'm guessing it's something from the show. I never got that far through Animated though, so I can't say for sure.

Not really something it can do, but a few minutes ago I was gazing dreamily at the newest addition to my collection (Animated Skywarp), as we all do. I was thinking about the forward swept wings and tail-fins. By pure chance, my gaze shifted to my RTS Cyclonus, and I realized that the Animated Seeker mold takes significant cues from Cyclonus's design.

Given the thorough anime and comic influences in Animated there's a strong resemblance to the YF-19 from Macross: Image

Well, I haven't had him for an hour, and I already scratched his paint. Now there's a purple blotch on the tip of his right wing.

There is a lot more to classics Hound's legs then meets the eye

If you take the car panel on the side of the leg and rotate it, it actually gives bit more moving space for the knee joint and makes the legs significantly more flush.

He also has an ankle joint, not the involved-in-the-transformation joint but it works on the same pin as the pegs for Ravage

Now that is something I did not know! I wonder what way they're meant to be? It looks good two different ways.
