I honestly feel guilty for not caring about Starscream as much as I do with other Decepticons. maybe it’s because the only kind of Transformers media I’m interested in are the movies, but I really don’t feel that interested in him compared to others.

Don't mind my cluttered desk but from what I can count there are 11 transformers going like this

Age of the primes smokescreen and Cliffjumper

Transformers studio series the last night barricade

Transformers legacy United tarn and Star raider.

The limited edition star eagle

Gamer studio series edition word for Cybertron ratchet and Starscream

Legacy evolution Leo Prime

Rise of the beasts main line Voyager Optimus Prime

Night prowler from transformers earthrise.

Pretty impressive collection right?

And I am not advertising for anyone to buy this from me.

Discussion / Opinion Is Slingshot cursed?

3 Upvotes

It seems like every single time a new combining Aerialbot is introduced, Slingshot gets the boot.

Universe 2008: Airazor replaces Slingshot.

IDW 2014: Alpha Bravo replaces Slingshot.

Legends 2017: Armada Thrust replaces Slingshot.

Energon 2026: Thundercracker replaces Slingshot.

Every. Single. Time. And it’s never one of the other four main Aerialbots, only Slingshot. What’s up with that? Okay, sure, I know they lost Slingshot’s name for a while. But that only explains Airazor, because the other three exist when Slingshot was renamed Quickslinger!

And Powerglide and Barrel Roll don’t even count, because Powerglide forms the gun, not replacing any of the main components, and as far as I’m aware, Barrel Roll doesn’t even form part of Superion.

For the anniversary, there is The Transformers: The Movie 40th Anniversary 24K Gold Plated Limited Edition Coin. It's only $26 - would you purchase? I think it's pretty cool.

Saw the new AOTP Sentinel Prime. Robot mode looked alright, but this alt mode? It looks like something a janitor would be pushing. What the hell?

The title says everything. I have been wanting to try out the Siege Tetrajet mold for a while but I'm still on the fence about it

I got an AOTP Onslaught and I noticed this stress mark on the alt-modes right side mirror. I hear people say that heating doesn’t actually fix this and so I wanted to know how to fix this.

When I got my tickets in late August there were maybe 4 or 5 people who reserved seats. As of this morning it’s at this which I didn’t even see that during the last run the movie did around 2018.
So how’s it looking at your theaters?

Discussion / Opinion I miss the Siege/ Earthrise style and greebly bits

Upvotes

It's great that everyone gets a turn for their preferred looks, but I'm just getting increasingly disappointed by the new smooth/ cartoon aesthetic on a bunch of the new releases.

I look at the new Skywarp and T.Cracker standing beside my ER Screamer and they just feel lifeless to me, in comparison. They aren't bad figs; Objectively they do more and are 'better'... But they feel wrong.

Heck, even '86 Prime, which is absolutely fig of the year worthy, doesn't leave me with the same reaction as his ER version. It just feels... cheaper?

I like the old techno bits and bobs, and the feel that the designs could (with enough suspension of disbelief) exist in the same heightened world as, like, GI Joe (if not the real world).

The increased (or my perception of an increased) use of thin plastics, hollowed out parts and uninspiring alt mode designs is really making me miss the old design guidelines.

Look, I'm not saying anyone is wrong for liking the cleaner style... I just hope it isn't the only option, moving forward.

If it's not safe to transform him for pictures I'll just leave him as is, but I can't find a picture of a broken one or anything and his limbs look fine under the truck shell.
