I was considering repainting HT's eyes red in torso mode, before Takara came up with the EX line.

(But I need to find some good way of doing it.)

My wallet allowed me just enough to scrape the last Decepticon Commanders together (although I have no love for Steamhammer - owned him once and gave him away), I will not venture into Takaraland. And I've said it before, not a massive fan of Marinemaster's colours.
I love Tankmaster though...

Also, does this mean that Rollermaster is really IDW Straxus instead of either of the Marvel Straxuses?

If you squint your eyes you can see Ultra Magnus vs. Galvatron.

EDIT: I just saw how Airmaster actually works with the dinodrones. Dayum.

I am so glad they are mentioning Megatron in the storyline. This gives more credence to my custom, and he looks just as good with the dino drones

Even though Megs is dead (or presumed dead) by this point, what with Scrash leading the Cons and all.

And Hydra throws another curveball, when you think it will be a slider.

Seriously, I wish he would have just created an entirely new Generation 1 universe that mixes elements from Generation 1 elements done by Takara, Hasbro, and Marvel. The events would make a whole lot more sense, allow the figures from UNITED to have some kind of history (as I feel that "UNITED" Rodimus Prime is more based on the Marvel version, than the animated version). And other things people do not care to hear me rant on about.

But yeah... I wonder which member of Devastator will return. Because chances are, Hydra may choose to ignore the events in the OVA (on account that the "Hydraverse" has parts of the Victory manga merge with the anime series). But whatever the case may be, that is what I am dubbing it before people start calling it that.

Yeah. I've been conversing with Hydra on the nature of these stories he's written and which characters have dimension-hopped and which haven't. Straxus is apparently his Marvel self, while Grindcore is not his IDW self but a JG1 cartoon continuity version of him who is only just now making himself known.

And, regarding the two United mini-manga that were in the Million Publishing Generations books, according to Hydra, those two are a micro-continuity completely unrelated to these EX stories or the cartoon continuity itself, which does match up with what artist Guido Guidi (who worked on the second one) said about it.

Hydra also just told me that it's on-package toy bios that are considered to be the "primary fiction" (as he put it) of the United toyline. I'm currently waiting for him to respond to my latest inquisition on the bios since there haven't been many of them translated into English.

I agree. Both were based on different eras within the UNITED timline. So the way I see it... It goes as: Manga #1 -> The Transformers -> The Rebirth -> UNITED/2010 -> elements from both Hasbro's Generation 2 and Marvel's Generaion One -> Victory -> UNITED EX -> Operation: Combination. Victory and Operation: Combination are self-contained (the last time I checked). This allows time gaps to be added, and also - if he dares - to say that the dimension hopping is an aftereffect of that continuity's Underbase Saga. (Oh, and totally eliminates Kiss Players in the process.)

I don't quite think you get what I was saying. I meant that he said both of the Million Publishing mangas weren't part of the cartoon timeline.

The first one certainly doesn't fit since they all had their WFC bodies, while the cartoon itself shows the creation of Megatron and Convoy in their original G1 bodies that they would keep after their arrival on Earth.
