Well, in that case, you could just use the Studio Series Sideways figure, since it was his appearance that was used for the most notable dimension-hopping Sideways.MaximalNui wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Hate to break it to ya (and, well, to everyone here), but everything we know about Sideways being a dimension-hopper is based on a complete and total LIE!MaximalNui wrote:Anyway, anyone else would like to see more canon dimension-hoppers in the multiverse-focused series?

Oh, I'm aware of that. But that doesn't invalidate all the other, canon dimension-hopping by the character written since that initial misunderstanding (or before, if one remembers one of the many contradictory origins for Planet X). Otherwise, one could say Donna Troy doesn't really exist and the first Wonder Girl is still a time-travelling kid Diana.

Last time leaks gave anything on Twincast they said he comes with Rewind, but that was also before he got pushed back a wave, so who knows if that's still accurate.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I wonder if Twincast will have to give up coming with a tape buddy to have the fatter door. Kinda hoping the answer is no; even if the Eject part of this tooling is shorter in robot mode than I'd like, I think it looks a lot better than SIEGE Fremble, so probably-Rosanna from this mold would be nice.
I suspect that it being Rewind was a presumption on their parts, since Rewind doesn't match with the color of Twincast's tape window. For that reason, I certainly hope it's not Rewind.Nemesis Primal wrote:Last time leaks gave anything on Twincast they said he comes with Rewind, but that was also before he got pushed back a wave, so who knows if that's still accurate.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I wonder if Twincast will have to give up coming with a tape buddy to have the fatter door.

I pulled up a video from chefatron to watch the transformation of him.
Now he mentions the plastic feels cheap and soft plastic is really pliable especially the "swords", Fooling with this one I don't get the feel of cheap plastic and the blades are made of softer plastic but are not as pliable as they appear in the video. I wonder if the early copies the reviewers get could be a production test or something but so far he has had issues with "cheap" plastic on both pointblank and Skullgrin and the figures I have purchased are no where near as cheap feeling.
Does anyone else have any issues with their skullgrin figs and the softer plastic?
Awesome! I'm planning on picking up skullgrin. Good to know he's better than some of the reviews make him out to be
Its Friday!! Time to play with some toys!! Legacy Deluxe Minerva just jumped through a portal from the Super God Masterforce universe! She’s here to help the Wreckers in there conquest to stop an evil foe! She unfortunately lost her headmaster abilities as she came through the portal, but she does come fully equipped with 2 energon infused rifles and a sweet lightbar for her alt ambulance turbo mode!
Another character that was definitely on my to-do list for a while now, I’m pretty hyped how she turned out. It was a design challenge to make an Elita One that would eventually be redeco’d as a Minerva. But, if that was the only way I was getting this figure, welp, challenge accepted! She was a perfect fit for a exclusive (I think Walgreens but gotta talk to @bmacatron84 , we’ve tried to keep the theming to medics(scientists) started with Titans Return Brainstorm I believe)
This has been the first time I purposely left a blaster in clear with no tint color. Since the ambulance needed the blue windshield and the lightbar needed the red tint, I thought,, why can’t energon be translucent clear, perhaps an energon we’ve never encountered before. I made sure her other rifle blaster resembled its original look and was painted a nice glossy black.
Make sure you get your hands on the medic repair welder that was released with our Target exclusive Red Cog. It will really do wonders for playing out battlescenes where Minerva and Ratchet can help some autobots repair some damaged transistors on the battlefield.
Who will the crazy inter dimensional spacebridge portal spit out next!?!? Isnt this fun!!! What sort of Evolution will happen to our heroes next! Will the energon infused weapons be combined and utilized to vaporize cybertron? Will an evil mastermind use a mega energon infused device to mind control an army to reign supreme!?!?
Stay tuned in…same bot time…same bot channel

I am extremely angry and frustrated with Mark after seeing this. Did it at any point whatsoever cross his mind that he could maybe have pushed for a NIGHTBEAT to be redecoed into Minerva? Instead of screwing up both Elita and Minerva because you were that impatient to get a CHUG Minerva toy of some sort?Sabrblade wrote:Mark Maher Instagram post about Minerva:Its Friday!!

Sorry, I already bought Elita-1 and I'm ordering Minerva too. Don't take it personally, I wish you luck on your plan.
I like the idea of us getting Minerva in principle, but I would be much more glad if we were getting a proper her (and a corresponding Nightbeat) instead of getting an impatience-fueled substantially-compromised her that transforms wrong. I'm sure glad I started that custom Minerva a while back, even if I still haven't finished it...D-Maximal_Primal wrote:AcademyofDrX wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I would like to encourage everyone here to refrain from buying either of these wastes of plastic.

Same on the Minerva front (I am good with PotP Elita). I am glad we are getting her
As well as his signature since, according to you, it violates policy. Or does that apply to only certain points of view?Seibertron wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman ... it's OK to be frustrated by a toy's release and I agree that this is not the Minerva I would've wanted (especially sans the Headmaster feature). However, there's no need to attack a Hasbro employee over it nor is there any reason to make lewd comments. Mark, nor any other person, does not deserve to be treated that way or verbally assaulted in that manner. Please update your posts above to remove the "randy" and "horny" comments as well as any phrases that are inappropriate above.

Question is, how long will we be waiting for a better one?

I've lived all of my life without a Minerva, so if I never get one, it will be same old same old (I only know the character through the rarity of a non yellowed G1 toy). But I do think we'll get another shot at her one day regardless since she is a natural redeco to a more popular character that was never done properly either.
