So i know zilch lore wise about onyx prime here. But, he might be one of the niftiest bots I’ve gotten this year. Some little nitpicks I’ll comment on in the YouTube video, but strong recommendation

Twin Mill is better than i expected but still also needed less leg hollowness instead of the effects parts

I high key don’t know who even gets in 1st ballot off this. Let alone the non highlighted players

I love this response from Nemesis when you invite to the hot spring in Hades 2

Queer chaos!

Holy crap I love how unhinged this is. Well done @supergiantgames.bsky.social . I need “Scylla and the Sirens” merch.

Also the music around the area in Oceanus absolutely slaps

THis is gonna be quite the interesting box from BBTS.

Honestly probably opening them in the order of Twin Mill, Onyx Prime and then MP Rattrap

Bit of an impulse buy getting Bumper, but he was literally $20 shipped off eBay and it’s a quirky ass story about this toy/character.

Also, part of me kinda wants to have my copy be female

The gun sucks and I wish they’d literally just reversed the leg assembly so the planes were on the front but otherwise superion is neat
October 18, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Firefight and sky dive: neat
Silverbolt is nifty. I love that you can jokingly use the superior head in robot mode
October 18, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Yeah. I’m happy with this from Hasbro. Still very intrigued by that mecha invasion iteration of Devastator though
October 18, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Studio series mixmaster and scavenger are neat

Been a minute since I updated this thread.

Craftsman toys Burst Gallop & Light Strike -whatever the bike is named & Scattorshot .

Honestly both are really good. I’m super intrigued by where this set is going. Fun, intuitive transformations look good in both modes.

Instructions are shit

I wonder if this is why they completely nerfed the original. Would make sense. Planned obsolescence

We can all agree, as transformers fans, that this looks insanely good right? The fact that they took the character model from TF:One and did this is bonkers.

The toy just needs to not suck.

It's gonna be my Legacy Airachnid stand-in (nod to Prime AirArachnid) too.

Age of the primes vortex, our teaser for the rest of the combaticons, might be the actual definition of “that’s good”. Just a decent enough , needed more time to marinate, probably hindered by the current combining gimmick, iteration

Forgot to talk about studio series widow(maker) in this thread.

The algorithm made me do it. She’s fine. Like there’s just little things that I have to nitpick but she’s fine.

Probably outside looking in on my year end list

Ah. There it is. The slightly clickbait (honestly it’s better than normal) title and comments about last night mariners game from Mariner Mojo.

Love how fanbases lean so negative so fast, especially the members who have any media presence.

Swoons happen. Ppl need to chill

Also. This suicune immersive art goes HARD

Just casually opened a God Pack in @pokemontcgpocket.bsky.social this morning

The crowd who’s mad at legacy media for finding joy and not covering Gaza won’t like this article from CNN
August 28, 2025 at 12:16 AM
YouTube made me do it
August 19, 2025 at 5:45 PM
I’ll add a photo of the tank mode later, and it’s silly that gun tip on his back is included ( I have half a mind to paint it black) but this is a great Megatron
August 18, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Alchemist Prime is a fun desk bot. I need to look up his lore but he’s fun.
August 18, 2025 at 8:11 PM
It wasn’t an injury @mlb.com . Alvarado used PEDs
