Transformers – Blokees Classic Class 10 – Megatron (TF07)

I am not going to even start trying to understand the goofy naming conventions for this like. There are some smaller Blokees and I think some larger, or at least, fancier ones. I think. Regular Transformers are not that better about long goofy names though either. Anyway, Blokees. Sort of the "new hotness" in Transformers, though it seems to be more the smaller blind box toys. I think those small ones look neat but I am so allergic to the idea of blind boxes, I have not actually bought any of the small ones. The gimmick of the entire Blokees…

Transformers x NFL – Tundra Prime and Steelsmash

Early this year, Hasbro started a collab line with the NFL. A line of football helmets that transform into football player styled robots. That's "American Football", in case the MFL part didn't make that obvious, though they also recently announced a similar line for Non-American Football (soccer), that turns into a football. Wait, do they call soccer balls footballs or is it something goofy like the kicky roundy? (Side note, when I first did this up, I only had Tundra Prime, so if there is weirdness about Steelsmash comments, that is why) Anyway, the initial line up had four teams,…

Transformers X TMNT – Party Wallop

I have lost track of how many of these crossover Transformers we have gotten but it's a pretty neat line that for the most part has been done pretty well. I particularly like that they are mostly original molds. It feels like it would have been easy to just do some mediocre repaints. I suppose making actual meaningful molds was probably part of the deal for getting some of these IPs. The TMNT crossover is pretty good, it's not perfect, but I like it. Party Wallop definitely has the "Ninja Turtle" look in Robot mode, with a few spots of…

Review – Transformers – G1 – Rodimus Prime

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before and chances are you already know, but a while back, Hasbro re-released several of the old G1 toys in commemorative packaging with, unfortunately, commemorative pricing. They ran 30 to 40 dollars each and were exclusive to Toys R Us. A few people bought it, but most didn’t. They made it to clearance and the occasionally discount clearinghouse store. That’s why I picked up Rodimus, sort of. Unlike Perceptor or the Incecticons, I wasn’t interested in him at 40 dollars. But for 8 bucks, I figure, how can one go wrong. Well, it’s possible you…

Legacy Shadowstrip

My Transformers purchases these days has slowed to an absolute molasses drip. There is a lot of "cool" stuff being put out, but I often already have "good enough" versions of these characters and the prices are getting a bit too much for my taste. I do still pick some up occasionally. One that's been nagging at me a bit was the new Menasor in Transformers Legacy. The Stunticons are my favorite combiner team and up there on my favorite Transformers. I really like the Combiner Wars version of the team, though it's not perfect. The new version is designed…
