Titans Return Thoughts reply
I think you are right about the characters that were not originally headmasters looking a bit strange. I have had my Skullsmasher/skullcruncher with Grax figure for a while mint condition. I thought to myself that I should unbox it. I love the figure but I hate that cheap plastic cockpit door. There...

Titans Return thoughts
As a kid, I grew up loving the groups of headmasters. They had a cool gimmick, I thought the concept was a cool one. Two robots in one. However, I don't have very many Titans Return figures and it seems hard to land some of the good ones as well. I don't fancy all of the Transformers being headmaste...

Comic collecting
My comic shops seem to sparingly carry Transformers Comic Books. I have looked on IDW's website, and I can't seem to find a way to subscribe directly. Am I looking in the wrong place, or do I just need to try some alternative means of receiving my books? I don't want to do digital comics, still just...

How do I collect these days?
I have been a lifelong Transformers fan. I grew up in 1980s at the very beginning height of the toys popularity until now. I fell off at different times in my life for various reasons such as just outgrowing them for a time, starting a new career, etc. I want to get back involved but it is just too ...

Great thing the internet is at our disposal. I too have shopped online for my figures especially my G1 collection. I have not bought a figure since DOTM, and then AOE came out and I bought Grimlock. I sometimes still like patrolling stores to see what is out there. The internet which is the ultimate...

Armada to Energon to Cybertron is another good example. Diversity of characters and story. I think that I liked that with each season came a different characters and more reasons to collect different items. I don't 100 percent mind various characters being reused over and over but within reason. I a...

The new movieverse Optimus Prime has been insane with how agressive and violent he can be. Despite getting what would seem like mortal wounds, and even dying this guy would most definitely be at my side. He is beast!!! I would also like to ride a giant dinosaur named Grimlock. That wouldn't be bad e...

Why are the instructions so crappy these days?
I know that the joy in collecting transformers is that you get to play with a puzzle, a car, a robot, a jet, a animal, you get the picture. But what happens when the puzzle that changes into any number of items a la Sixshot, is more difficult than you can even deal with lol. We turn to the instructi...

Where did the tech specs go?
I have been going on and on about stuff that either matters or doesn't to many people right now. I am glad to be back on a TF forum it is fun for me to rant or rave in this way. Now on to the next thread in my day. I just bought AOE Voyager class Grimlock and noticed that there were no tech specs on...

Beast wars is a great example of what I mean actually. I may not have expressed myself right in saying this but you see how there was a year 1, then 2, and more. Everything followed a sequence that year's figures had some of what was from the previous line and some new to that year. It just seems li...

Favorite store to buy Transformers
Growing a child of the 80's I only got my Transformers for Christmas, Bday, or some other special event like a graduation which did not happen very often. I always like the Toys R Us commercials in the back and I could see the Transformers in the background. I used to think about getting a Transform...

True, I see your point but look at AOE Crosshairs hasbro and Takara. There is a difference. Yes, I know that all of them were not so cartoon or comic inspired, but I think that most were if not in robot mode, alternate mode fit the bill nicely in many cases. I did say at times toys which means I kno...

Miss that 80's toy quality
I remember the days growing up when transformers were cool. I think that Hasbro has done some cool things over the years with the movie lines and universe/generations, but nothing in my mind stacks up to the generation 1 toys. Think about for the first three to four years of the toys they had comics...
