UGH.. It is honestly ridiculous even to pose Iron Man toys like that...
People need to be original and stop imitating everything in pop culture..

- The Legacy Beast Wars redecos: They are in Legacy packaging with a plastic window but are exclusive to Walmart in the US and Canada and not part of a particular Legacy wave.
- The Beast Wars reissues: this exclusive line continues this year, we already got Cybershark but more will be in stores soon.
- This Velocitron line: We have not seen the packaging yet but apparently this is supposed to be what is replacing the Netflix exclusives for Walmart and it is said that the toys will be packaged in alt mode.

One of those TRANSformers that change gender depending whenever he/she speak Japanese or English.
I find this ridiculous but at the same time, it gives me the idea of making a custom with the concept of Baron Ashura from Mazinger Z.
Half-fembot, half-manbot. And I'll even go further by making the altmode a half-corvette and half-muscle-car. Finding the right bots to frankenstein together will be difficult.

Yeah, and that's why I always associate this character/toy as male. Unlike some of the examples shown in Sabr's post,

If only Energon/Superlink hadn't been so terrible, then the folks making Galaxy Force wouldn't have been so ashamed of it as to try and separate Galaxy Force from Superlink, despite both Takara and Hasbro designing the third installment to be another sequel line.o.supreme wrote:Evil Eye wrote:Doesn't help that Cybertron and Galaxy Force are almost two entirely separate stories, to the point where IIRC up until Takara did some retconning, GF wasn't even connected to Energon or Armada.
To this day ( I have Galaxy Force on DVD). It's not connected if you watch it on its own. TT may as you say, have retconned it via some manga, or novels, or story pages, but honestly it's much more enjoyable as its own continuity. It's probably the reason why I just couldn't enjoy the Cybertron dub. I knew it wasn't supposed to be a follow up to Armada/Energon. The connections were forced and made no sense.

Forget it. Hasbro has made it abundantly clear that the old shaterred glass designs are dead and will not be revisited even if we have modern toys that look like this. Instead all shaterred glass toys from here on out relate to the characters as they appear in their original G1 bodies but with the shaterred glass colours.
And in some cases that makes these designs have a dual purpose since a few shaterred glass colour schemes were homaging variant colour schemes of older molds/toys.

So much confusion.

To be a little fair, all of the Cybertron Cities seen on Earth in Energon were only in remote, isolated locations on Earth away from the rest of the world, and all the humans who lived and worked at them were connected to the government. Ordinary cities with ordinary civilians were never featured in the show, so we have no idea what the outside world knew about the Transformers in that show. For all we know, the Cybertron Cities were one big government secret kept hidden from the rest of the world, explaining in part why they were built so far away from any other human civilization. Alas, the show was too incompetent to ever go into that.o.supreme wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And to make matters even more confusing, the Japanese cartoon later started to put back in nods and references to both Legends of the Microns and Superlink in the show's later half, after having already tried to distance itself from the two..

Yeah Bud knowing what a Transformer was, and the rest of the world oblivious ( but TFs had whole cities on Earth in Energon/SL), was just nonsense.
