It needed a 50$can upgrade kit to have the PERFECT '07 Megatron. It shouldn't have been needed from the start.

I got the DNA kit for DoTM Shockwave and that's pretty how I felt about him. I do adore my 07 Megatron, even if his chest is a reuse and he doesn't have a cannon arm. The shelf presence the toy has is fantastic and both modes are fun and satisfying. Glad you finally reached nirvana with him

It's the one from the Tribute 2 pack with Orion Pax.

I kind of remember the Bayverse franchise saying they didn't want to do massforming because 'it wasn't realistic'.

In the 2007 move, Bumblebee just suddenly decides, 'OK I'm going to go from 70s Camero to 2007 Camero just by turning around in this TUNNEL'. Now all his armor plating and inner mechanisms can just squirm around dynamically so he can go from normal car to off-road car when it's convenient?
Plus, TLK completely broke all of the rules by having Bumblebee just reassemble himself after being literally blown to bits, when everyone else that happened to in the previous movies just instantly died and stayed dead.william-james88 wrote:DeathReviews wrote:Mixed feelings about this figure based on the premise under which it was concocted for the movie.

The Bumblebee film basically rewrote everything on that with Bee going from a Cybertronian car, to a jeep to a VW Beetle to a 70s Camaro. So a slight change from a 70s Camaro to an 70s Camaro with different tires and some racks seems tame by comparison.

"Transformium" was just KSI's focus-grouped name for the stuff that all Cybertronians (including Bumblebee) are already made of. The robots built by KSI could pixelate their transformations because they were programmed to transform like that.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Plus, TLK completely broke all of the rules by having Bumblebee just reassemble himself after being literally blown to bits, when everyone else that happened to in the previous movies just instantly died and stayed dead.
Maybe Bee injected himself with that "Transformium" juice from AoE that allow the to disintegrate and reassemble themselves to "transform".

No news yet and unless they continue the AoE Dinobots, I don't think it will ever happen.
But if you don't mind, that Grimlock got an improved oversized KO and it's the same price as a MSRP leader. Hunt it down on eBay or AliExpress. The scale will also be better with the SS toys.

I think they mean the G1 grimlock figure not the AoE one.
If you don't care too much about colours there is rumours of a G2 Grimlock release next year but nothing about a Reissue

Continuing this thread though, I think they’ll have to rerelease SS AOE Grimlock some point. 2024 is the 10th anniversary of AOE and I think we’d be done with the G1 Dinobots at that point, so that’d be a good opportunity to start making the other AOE Dinobots, and it’s been so long since Grimlock was around that a reissue would be great.
