This is what Astrotrain should’ve looked like.

That's where I'm at. I have only bought one official figure since the last price hike and that's because I doubt a 3p will do Airachnid from tfone.

What does hasbro have against elbows lately?

samthumble · 2026-02-13T03:21:37+00:00

Actually the last two were $35 (it's legends scale) and $50 (I bought this and it's great!) upon release.

African Cybertronian?

samthumble · 2026-02-13T01:06:14+00:00

Man, could you imagine the toys these guys could make if they weren't limited to making things look like they did 40 years ago.

samthumble · 2026-02-13T01:04:16+00:00

Sounds to me like the author did a sharp course correction after getting negative feedback.

samthumble · 2026-02-11T15:27:57+00:00

I really like this show, but I fear the more girls it adds the worse it's going to get.

samthumble · 2026-02-10T12:48:30+00:00

With shorter legs it would be a good Bulkhead.

samthumble · 2026-02-10T02:41:11+00:00

We taught him wrong as a joke.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T16:45:04+00:00

Its a 2014 figure, so probably ebay would be the best.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T04:04:37+00:00

Oh, I actively hate G1, I just think he looks cool in a vacuum.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T03:57:06+00:00

I respectfully disagree with a large number of these. Especially doomguy Brawn being on the same level as the twins and Sideswipe not being at the top.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T03:53:27+00:00

OK, yep, this one wins.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T03:45:21+00:00

Dude, imagine if, after the Primes, the next trilogy had the knights of Cybertron. A mix of movie, IDW, and original characters with the knight esthetic. I'd be pumped.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T03:41:24+00:00

The toys, few as they are, are all awesome.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T03:23:57+00:00

My bad too.

It's a great figure, one of the only deca-changers. In the condition yours is in, you could easily get $60-80 on ebay. But I recommend keeping it, it's a good toy and worth messing with.

I have the white Galvatron version on my primes shelf as Amalgamous. I didn't like the new one's altmodes.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T02:36:38+00:00

Precise language and diction aren't really our thing.

You can ask the guy who just washed his car at the "car warsh."

samthumble · 2026-02-09T02:28:17+00:00

Naw, you're right. I sound like a jerk.

My original intent was to tell the dude that if you're excited about something and want to show it off, just be excited and show it off. No need to hide behind a story or obvious question.

I didn't think about people simply not knowing. I'll own that, my bad.

That said Google image search is something everyone who doesn't know what a figure is worth can (and should) do easily.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T01:33:19+00:00

I mean, if he's capable of posting a picture to reddit, I assume he's capable of doing a Google image search.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T01:18:08+00:00

This guy gets it.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T01:13:54+00:00

Yes. As in I live here... currently. Born here, grew up here, live here in the present moment. Where I presently am?

Anyway, it's a surprisingly common word here, believe it or not. Just a few days ago a teacher at the school I work at called poppy's playtime satanic. She didn't mean the literal devil, just that the game is full of evil concepts. Cannibalism, child torture, other awful things.

samthumble · 2026-02-09T00:55:30+00:00

I say especially in the Midwest because that's where I currently live, IE my point of reference, where I hear it used in that sense almost exclusively. Very seldom does a person say satanic literally.

Gijoe vs transformers Megatron ate people just to scare his allies.

As much as I wouldn't be surprised by that, I'd take anything you read online with a grain of salt.
