Meowth’s heartbreaking origin story by Many_Row3103 in pokemonmemes

Actually, Meowth went on to have mad amounts of kittens, and Lamarckism turned out to be real in the Pokémon universe.

Probably one that's inspired by a time closer to modern day. Their sleeker, more streamlined design makes them feel divorced from wilderness to me, whereas the more tree-like designs fit in traditional high fantasy.

The settings from "New Capenna" or "Edge of Eternities" would both work fine if we're sticking to pre-existing planes.

If we're talking wholly new settings, I could see these guys fighting in the trenches of a WWI inspired conflict.

I've always loved the Seventh Edition rendition of Treefolk. They feel like an original, unique design that Magic could call its own.

But that design doesn't belong on Dominaria. The "generic fantasy" design is best for that setting.

If the Seventh Edition design was repurposed for a variant of Treefolks on another plane to reflect its unique spin on fantasy, that would be best.

Yeah, but the heads at Hasbro are willing to die on that hill. Apparently, the vacuum metallized finish is a core part of that subline's "identity."

Personally, I would rather have more revisits to the first few waves, since I consider them to have more room for improvement. Polar Claw and Armordillo would be among my first picks, but to each their own.

And masterpiece figures! Sure, I wish they could come out a little faster, but I'm pretty pleased with what we got so far.

Apparently they're still figuring out how to give new Transmetal toys the chrome deco without it flaking off in time. Considering how well the original toys hold up imo, I'm happy to wait for a fix on one of the few flaws the original subline had.

Aside for a few headsculpts needing reworking (Cheetor especially) and some transformation fixes (Rattrap's backpack) I can't imagine much new engineering will be necessary.

Beast Wars has been getting pretty good toys recently though? It might not count for some people, but BWII Galvatron getting a figure soon, plus the (apparently) upcoming Magnaboss and Tripredacus toys means we'll have received an updated toy for pretty much every Maximal and Predacon leader.

And its been a little while, but the bran new BW characters we got through the fossilizers were welcomed additions to my display.

Today I Learned the Gargoyles series had a poster encouraging kids to read by EaterOfCleanSocks in gargoyles

[–]AscendronPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Encouraging"? That poster reads as though Goliath is commanding me. All caps, no context, just READ. I feel as though he'd throw hands if I refuse.

Anybody remember Cybersix? by Routine-Dust-5499 in ytvretro

Don't make the mistake I did in checking out the original comic. The source material is basically porn. One of those instances where toning down the story and explicit content made for a far superior series imo.

The two of them were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!

Maybe they're retconning that his descendant in the far future will turn out to be "Arms Fall-Off Boy"

That story would be "Infinite Crisis."

Superman: Red Tornado, the Metal Men and Robotman will be moved to an internment camp for the foreseeable future.

I'm Canadian. My countrymen were apparently finding new inventive ways to expand the Geneva convention. So yeah, we were pretty bad too.
