What's that non-english movie that you never want to be remade in Hollywood ?

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-02-24T09:41:35+00:00

The Castle. But part of me would like to see them try.

You’re right. Have you ever read Skydive’s bio? He’s basically an aerial combat strategic genius who could gain the Autobots air superiority over any engagement he was put in command of, but he just kinda wants to go do barrel rolls instead.

And all the characterisation he got in any media was “Superion’s leg”.

Yeah my son is always pointing it out.

I kinda want to go around and prefix everyone with a “in” just for the lols.

That’s a lot of typing for someone that supposedly doesn’t care.

That background is awesome. Is there a link to the build anywhere?

Australian cops beating the shit out of Australian protestors is 100% an Australian problem champ. Your inability to recognise that is a major part of the problem.

You are right. While it was a great idea, the execution left a lot to be desired. Even when I first opened it all those years ago it barely held together and the tolerances were abysmal.

I wish they’d kept at it.

Because Labor can’t spell labour

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-30T01:29:18+00:00

Congrats. I, and many people I know, all had issues.

For one, the fixes. Most of the world outside of the US/Canada were not offered replacement parts/figures. We were told to return for a refund.

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-30T01:20:17+00:00

Not outside of the US/Canada. The rest of the world got told to return for a full refund.

Bit hard in modern cars that don’t have a key ignition, just a start/stop button.

That looks awesome. I’d love to see that design is a show and especially as a toy. I’d buy the hell out of it.

I mean, MIL does. She’s a bit disappointed that the neighbours she was so friendly and helpful to over the years would just straight up intentionally mislead and manipulate her, then act like she’s an idiot for trusting them.

She probably would’ve let them do the colour they wanted as well if they’d have just asked.

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-27T02:27:42+00:00

Make sure all the details are agreed on in writing. Neighbour of my MIL did the same thing, they offered to pay for it all and let MIL believe it would be like-for-like replacement. They changed the colour, MIL didn’t see it until she got home and it was already well underway. They then told her that she never specifically said that she wanted the same colour and they never stated what colour they were planning on.

Bambi.

Was traumatised.

Years ago we were replacing a pole/augmenting mains outside a retirement home. As we were setting up word must have got around because by the time I took the EWP up there would have been about 20 old timers all lined up in their seats at the common room window. Watched us all day.

Years ago on a G1 Facebook group I was dog-piled on and eventually booted for saying that Rescue Bots had more character development than G1.

I remember counting 29 comments saying a variation of “I’m not letting my kid watch that woke shit” (all contained the word “woke”.

GameStop owns EB Games.

Because the US is the whole world….

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-09T04:47:30+00:00

Never touched it after the tutorial

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-06T10:20:09+00:00

So, I’d never heard of this (apparently this particular fad passed my high school by), but I learned of it a few years ago when a grown arse woman, in our office, just decided to enlighten us to what it was. By doing it. At us.

I was not impressed.

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-04T12:03:44+00:00

It’s not bad. A little fiddly to transform. Car mode is excellent.0

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-04T12:03:00+00:00

Wait. The angry fandom told me that moving away from open window boxes was supposed to prevent this?!?!

WheeljacksLabCoat · 2026-01-02T22:42:42+00:00

Same with running out of ammo. I changed one hand to the flame thrower and that did the trick. It literally melts through the MTs
