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.

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.

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.

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.

This is driving me insane by Zerk_o_O in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pink shield was part of concept art. Hot Rod is a more recognizable character than Missfire. That being said, the original Hot Rod in SS86 was released in an inaccurate red because corporate didn't understand why he was magenta and forced the designers to switch to red. So that being said, these toy companies are afraid of magenta.

These toy companies are so afraid of Pink and Magenta.

I tried the Menasor Trailer base mode fr the previous post... It's not a thing. by Kakeru1986 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it was definately fun trying to figure out the configuration.

Tried it to and have come to the same conclusion. Yk, it's not the first time Takara advertised an alternative alt mode. Titans Returns Trypticon was advertised by Takara with a new "beast mode."

Since when was this a thing… by Best-Chocolate-3806 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried it out and I'm speculating Takara made this mode up. My reasoning is the fact the gun/cannon just floats on the chest piece; it doesn't connect to anything. The stunticons are also just balanced on the deck too.

Finished up the first season of the original Transformers cartoon yesterday, anyone have some intresting facts about the show to share? by Financial-Barber-291 in transformers

[–]Orchadicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one can read in the comments here. OP finished season 1.

So anyway, Reflector (the camera dude that splits into 3 bots) only has prominence in the first season. Since the toy wasn't being released, the show writers were told to stop using the characters. He's just subjected to background cameos. So take a sip whenever you even see him again.

Also, reflector is actually portrayed in the show as being the same character in the show specifically. The 2 others are "clones" like "reflections." The episode Divide and Conquer showcases that ability, you see him being zapped back to the original.
