Except it doesn't cut from HD to SD every time there's a dated special effect coming.

Anime Bluestreak, yours would likely have had an all silver hood. Unless you had Prowl or Smokescreen

Most people probably were happier 4 years before Maggie gave everything to private capital, yes.

Because everyone prefers Hugh JackDanielsMan

Team Henkei over here. Lovely toy.

Shame, because the packaging was great.

It was also the worst selling Botcon box set, after years of bangers.

To paraphrase Siskel & Ebert, it's not the good toys that need to be remade; it's the bad ones.

I don't think their MW Soundwave did very well either. Even for TF fans, MW repaints seem to be a niche.

The only complaint I have about a MW Starscream is Overlord is already a big black jet.

That's actually four words

Looks like a toy.

As in, looks great. This is what brought us all to the dance

At the point where he said, "we have all the time in the world," I audibly groaned, and I remember the whole cinema groaning too.

Weird thing was, I watched it at home on my own, but I could feel the audience cringe.

I guess no-one saw "It's Time To Die"?

At the time, he was the biggest Transformer to be released in the UK. Bigger than Metroplex.

We never got Trypticon, Omega or Fort Max.

I remember how noisy his leg joints were!

I still have my original, box, and all the parts. He's discoloured a little bit from light exposure, but he still displays great.

I agree to a point. In my experience, there really isn't such a thing as a 3P company, just 3P factories. I expect they've just rebranded and are putting out new product with a new name.
