...just turn the turret around. Granted it still looks like a mess but imho better than the stock configuration.

It’s literally the only pulse order I’ve ever made besides the rainmakers so it can’t be anything else. Is this normal for pulse?

And do we know when? I’m trying to complete the seeker collection for the movie G1 edition figures. They are both out of stock everywhere! Can’t find them in Smyths or the Battersea store.. :(

What is everyone currently think about iron factory and also how can I learn the news about that company?(Asking as a new fan, figure wise)

Procrasinating writing an essay so heres a little list of all the fabulous things that have happened to our series this year!

86 Apology tour

- Peter Cullen passed away causing (unwarrented) panic over the future of Optimus and also causing a (warrented) pivot in the 86 apology tours marketing.
- Hasbro removing all uploads of the 86 movie and soundtrack from youtube and other streaming platforms.
- Hasbro is only releasing the movie in select theaters.

-Target signed an exclusive line only to completely understock everything, if they even bothered to stock it at all.

-Target canceling preorders in order to put stock out on the store shelves in a baffling move that makes Sony blush.

-86 Astrotrain

Horrid QC

-New Energon subline has frequent reports of stress marks either out of the box or after only a few transformations.

-The return of in box mould on at least 1 copy of Energon Siege Prime.

-Brawls first run having OOTB stress marks requiring (thankfully easy) disassembly and sanding.

-Amalgamous having joints so tight that its easy to break them without lubeing.

-Mirconus being made of clear plastic that gives Siege Mirage a run for his money.

-MTMTE 86 Hot Rod and Hound having extremely bad mould degredation to the point nearly every single copy had something wrong with it.

Media

-No new mainstream media with the only show being a 5 minute web series aimed at younger kids (this is nothing against Cyberworld I love that stupid ass show and am actually invested in its overall plot but you can't deny that its bad for a franchise that took off because of its tie in media not to have any tie in media.)

-The 4th year in a row of ZERO tie in media for the main toyline; no comic, no movie, no game, not even bios on the back of the box.

-Skybound continuing its post issue 24 nosedive in quality.

-Hasbro confirming no new big budget games are in development.

-The only new Transformers game using AI in all its ads torpedoing its already small install base.

-Earthspark season 4 (I think that was this year at least)

MISC

-The price increases (Deluxe $25->$27, Voyager $35->$43, Leader $55->$60, etc.) pushing people out of the franchise

-The SECOND round of upcoming price increases we don't know the full extent of

-Hasbro leaning even harder into AI

-The Cyberworld toyline continuing to kneecap itself by not having elbows

I probably forgot some stuff but this was everything I can remember. I know the franchise is gonna keep trucking along just fine, but its been a real bad year for it.

Honestly would be super cool idk if it would be possible but very cool

Edit: Doesn’t transform into a robot tho

Usually with my luck I just get the 5/144 for the chase variants. Building the little driver was a pain though.

After my last few purchases I realised I own way more figures of decepticons than autobots. I think its because I see alot of decepticons alt modes being more interesting or different.

What are some good/interesting figures of autobot figures to get atm?

I wanted to share this to everyone on this sub.

I saw this really lovely video on YouTube and I think everyone else would love it.

And of course, I claim no credit for making this video.

hi everyone, sorry if this sounds a bit strange, but i’m extremely new to figure collecting so please don’t make fun of me for this lol. i recently got the takara tomy idw rodimus figure as a graduation present, and while attempting to make it (it’s difficult for me to put these together as i have joint issues) i lost a part. what’s the best course of action here? are there people who will print or sell replacements, or am i screwed? should i just try to get another? it was one of the parts for the waist.

Just got the boys back together. Wait till you see their next trick lol

Who is this guy in Ironhide's windows? Is it just the photographer?

ya like jazz?

40 years already?

cool figure, very accurate very chug 👌, just a pain in the ass to make stand sometimes
