Ah well...
Re the toys, looking forward to most of these and though I did thoroughly enjoy TR astrotrain I’ll be picking this astrotrain up too. Wonder if they’ll do some left field repaint of him maybe into galaxy shuttle for the Japanese market or skystalker...

I dropped some subtle hints to my father about a larger version of the G1 Astrotrain, since he handed the his back to me to keep it from being broken, and he's clearing a shelf to display it with his Lionel trains.
Also, looking at the view of Omega Supreme that is a big beautiful chunk of plastic engineering. Makes it worth being thirty-ish feet in the air working on siding when that's my reward!
Something to note on Omega, my hubby just ordered mine from Hasbro Pulse, and Hasbro is reporting the release date as October first.

Is it just me or does Astrotrain's shuttle mode have foreskin?Stargrave wrote:

Take note though there are only two allowed per member through Hasbro Pulse, so assembling your Refraktor camera will still require ordering from another source or some good 'ol fashioned foot work hitting your local brick and mortar.
From Death Reviews:
"My lazy minions inform me that Weaponizer Brunt and Deluxe Refraktor are now available for purchase at "Hasbro Pulse". Unfortunately, the limit is 2 per person, so you can't order all three Refraktors at once! But hurry and get them, if you're having trouble finding them on the shelf!"

This is incorrect, the item limit for Refraktor is 3. I just ordered a full set.

You know she’s really rather statuesque it’s her affinity for backpacking and profile photography that throws everyone off. I think it’s actually spelled siiexxiits-phat. Just be careful, try to say it backwards and you could get shunted back to your home dimension.

To be honest Springer is perfect to me in all modes as far as his looks. His feet can be a little loose.

Don't get me wrong, he's incredibly G1 accurate which is a plus for those of you that have been waiting for proper updates. But for me, I've always preferred helicopter modes that are sleeker like Spinister or the T30 Springer. So the boxier proportions for Siege Springer don't sit well with me. I'll probably still get him and just headcanon that this was Springer's original body with modifications done by Wheeljack to have a helicopter mode and then he'd eventually get reformatted to the T30 body

Smashdown rapidly designated the Autobot’s standard melee weapon of the Siege confrontation eh?
Can’t wait to get my hands on all of ‘em but I always try for the shelves and pegs first.

I love Smashdown and everything about her. A Minotaur hammer? Yes please! She's very unique and I want one for the Wreckers shelf in robot mode, and 4 more to sprinkle around as hammers

This is incorrect, the item limit for Refraktor is 3. I just ordered a full set.
It WAS correct when the news broke - it capped my minions out at 2. So we are both right - because I had them go BACK to pulse, and they were able to order three in a separate order. How very odd....

So far, Smashdown has remained officially Genderless, so I am going with "her" until told otherwise, and even then they will probably remain "her" cause I think Smashdown is cooler as a mean Minotaur lady

I'm just giving you shit. Is this completely head canon or did Hasbro flip flop back and forth on some of the documentation ala Cindersaur? Genuinely curious. For now I'd be more comfortable with the pronoun "they" if no gender has been officially declared.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:So far, Smashdown has remained officially Genderless, so I am going with "her" until told otherwise, and even then they will probably remain "her" cause I think Smashdown is cooler as a mean Minotaur ladycarytheone wrote:[img]her.gif[/img]D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I love Smashdown and everything about her.

In my case, it's completely head canon. As far as I know and am aware, Smashdown has had no gender assignment. Officially, Smashdown is "they" for now, but for me, it's "she".
I'm hoping Smashdown ends up like Beast Wars Sonar and others where someone pounces on the chance to make a genderless character female.

Thanks, these are really cool! According to the database, there are 8 codes remaining that can be acquired(22/30), the line has at least 8 more figures to be released/teased( we have 42/50), and that the line supposedly ends this December.

That's not quite how it happened. Before Airazor's toy came out, she was originally going to have a male toy bio. But Bob and Larry asked Hasbro if they could change her bio from male to female before its release since Bob and Larry wanted to add a strong female presence to the Maximals in the show and felt that the upcoming Airazor toy would do nicely. Thus, Hasbro complied and were able to change the pronouns in Airazor's bio from male to female since the request came early enough in the toy's development stages for the final bio to the changed before the toy's release.Skritz wrote:Another Beast Wars example is a show character, however, and that would be Airazor who also had a neutral bio so they took it as a chance to add a chick to the Maximals (as there was no female Maximal in the initial BW line).
