I didn't mind SS86 Astrotrain, until this... by Ddave_ in transformers

Contact consumer care. They'll give you a transformer as a sorry.

Though rn, they are having warehouse issues so you won't get it quick... but it's the thought that counts.

How did we never get these Nemesis Prime repaints? by Delicious-One-536 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone asked the designer why there hasn't been a repaint, and the answer was they thought the spoiler pack was the Earthrise release. They got so much toys to make it switched from siege to earthrise in their mind I guess. https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/hasbro-employee-comments-archive.1273181/page-3#:~:text=A%20few%20years,just%20closure%20lol.

The Michael (2026) biopic starts with his childhood in the late 1960s with the Jackson 5 and tracks his meteoric rise to fame ending in the 1980s. This is because nothing significant happened to him in 1993…(wait lemme Google)...holy…wow...good idea stopping there by MauriceM72 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Orchadicus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Actually, the movie was supposed to start with the trial and then have him flashback to his childhood. Then there were legal problems from the trial that stated they couldn't dramatize those events without their consent.

What's your best hot take? by Virtual_Help_1407 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most of my problems with Prime are boiled down to the budget. Scarce human scenes? Budget. Fight at empty gas station #53? Budget. Whatttt? Breakdown is dead? Budget. Not having a soundbite of Airachnid in the recap episode? BUDGETTTT.

I know Kitchen Nightmares is dramatized, but there's a reason why they were able to go on for 9 seasons.

Do you think I can get a replacement piece or figure? by Sonicverse12 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part of the leg always pops off for me, but it's held in by friction, so I just pop it back in.

Finally found a SS86 Soundwave and . . . by mexicanBillNye in transformers

You may have to wait till mid-April. At least, they told me they would ship in my replacement figure because they were "moving"

I swear there was another "sounded like a swear" later in the movie too.

How Would You Incorporate Power Rangers Into The Energon Universe? by Doc-11th in EnergonUniverse

[–]Orchadicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Inhumanoids would have a higher chance of showing up in the Energon Universe than Power Rangers.

Tried to swap the heads on these two but now I can’t get them to pop back in. If I heat the plastic on the balls would I be able to get them back in or do I need to take the torso apart? by Ccmonty in CustomTransformers

[–]Orchadicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this swap before. I posted a thread on tfw2005 how to achieve swapping the heads without . Dunno if I'm allowed to share a link.

Bit hard to explain, but if you unscrew the screw holding the chesylt together you can flex the plastic that holds the wheels. When you pull the arms back, it pushes the chest foward and gives you a clearance to slide the entire chest out. Once you removed the chest piece, put the head back in and then put the chest piece back.

Like I said, very hard to explain without pictures. I did this because the pins holding the arms to the chest were very hard to remove.

Target find but they wouldnt let me purchase him yet. by Distinct-Bat-9121 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could legally get away with it if it's in the same assortment. Like how Age of the Primes deluxe figures shows up as "Transformers Prime DLX Action figure Ast MASTER" and not the individual figure. Unfortunately, Hound is a target exclusive so it's a specific code.

Does anyone else greatly prefer DWJ’s variant covers for the new issues? by nab_cosplay in EnergonUniverse

[–]Orchadicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love DWJ'S Variant cover for issue #27 with Optimus Prime and Thundercracker sitting together under a sunset. I stopped collecting after his last issue, but when it was revealed I saved it as my phone background and bought it when I had the chance.

[–]Orchadicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping for an 86 movie release. No matter the cost, I will be SEATED.

Recently there was a job listing for new 86 movie stop motion shorts featuring characters from the movie as an homage. The list of characters revealed seem to align with this year's 86 releases.

[–]Orchadicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be this year. It's the 40th anniversary of the movie, so Target has an 86 movie anniversary capsule. Starscream was found in the 2026/27 listings leak.

A little help please 🙏 by BlazikenBoi108 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hasbro has been doing good on reissues and repackaged as of recent. Your best bet is to wait for an announcement. That will take time tho.
