The best you can hope for in the next is that it's just poop.
At least we get some nice toys out of it.

It's a safe bet that SS70 or SS71 is RotF Bee, since he's already been leaked.
...Am I the only one reaching the conclusion that either Jolt or Dino has been canceled?

According to trustworthy leaker Pixelmaster over on TFW2005, both are still coming, but Dino has been delayed, to the point that he apparently probably won't be officially revealed until Toy Fair next year.

I didn't know that, that's a relief. Thanks for correcting me!

Its just as bad as unobtainium to be fair but its also something I could have seen the G1 cartoon doing if they'd thought of it.

Except for that one really stupid scene of Bumblebee getting blown up to many pieces and just putting himself back together.Emerje wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Does it help that it was supposed to sound dumb and "focus group tested"?Emerje wrote:ZeroWolf wrote: O also don't see how the live action movies disrespect Transformers, just because you don't like them doesn't mean that others can't.

My problem wasn't so much with the name (though it was bad) but with taking the transformation out of transforming. Couldn't even be imitated for toys, might as well have been liquid metal. That's one thing I'm glad they didn't carry over to TLK.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I have always found it weird that every MP Convoy needed to give Optimus a fake grill in robot mode and a real grill in truck mode when his fake robot mode grills have always looked realistic enough to pass for a real truck grill. The MP-1 grill especially didn't need to be fake.-Kanrabat- wrote:After seeing PvP review of SS '86 Hotrod, I see that itis a literal mini MP.
And I really don't get why some people scream "NOOOOOOO!" at the sky over the "fake chest".
The robot chest is not even the same shape and size as the car hood. It's the same principle as Optimus abs VS the his truck grill.
So for me, that Hotrod may be the best ever, even beating both official MPs.
I'll buy him for sure if I see him in stores.

It's not just the MP. It's almost every Generations and mainlines figures since at least the Classic mold too.
