Ooooooh....absolutely they did, and in that respect...they out-micromastered Hasbro.

While I think the Overgear stuff looks cool and all...I have to admit, it's kinda refreshing just to see someone say this...

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 1d

Maaaaaan...these both look cool. 😎😀

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 2d

That is a pretty much perfect G1-ified Bayverse Ironhide. 😎

Of the newer Siege Micromasters...Whisper's stealth fighter mode looks more like some sci-fi shuttlecraft, while Stormcloud's jet mode just straight sucks, with his legs forced to act as a huge part of his wings.

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 2d

It's too bad...he looks like he could have easily been the best looking Micromaster jet of them all.

I missed out on Legacy Beachcomber...😢, that said...would love a shot at G2 or (especially) the red Beachcomber in that mold.

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 2d

Fair enough.

What a perfect compliment of minicons for Megalo Convoy\Metroplex...they really spice him up, complete him... 😎😀

Reminds me of my initial disappointment that the newer Titan-class Megalo Convoy\Metroplex didn't come with a bunch of minicon ports on him.

Your work has always been impressive, just letting you know...🙂

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 2d

Wow...so many awesome customs... 😍😎😀

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 3d

I think it would be really cool to see a custom or even Hasbro remolding and repainting Horribull here as a take on Skar the Dinobot (with hopefully a better looking ankylosaur head than the one Skar has as a Core-class Dinobot...or heck, just use the ankylosaur drone from PCC for inspiration).

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 3d

So....are these then the "official" inspiration for the recent Legacy United Infernac Transformers?

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 3d

I might be in the minority, but I much prefer TFP Arcee.

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 3d

Yeeeaaah...I've never been a fan of the G1 Arcee look...the colors or the style of her character\toy. I don't need a female Transformers toy that blatantly turns into Mechanized Barbie.

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 7d

Not what I am looking for...but glad to see someone finding Transformers at Ross. 🙂

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 7d

That's awesome. 🙂 I admit I played with my G1 toys a lot as a kid, but at the same time...the ones I still own from back in the day are mostly still in great shape.

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 7d

A complete Octopunch inner robot...maaaaaaan, that is like gold.

Good for you. 👍😀

Indeed....🙂

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 9d

With those new MOTU/Transformers crossovers that have been shown recently...maaaaaan, why am I now just seeing this?? 🤔😕

Come on Hasbro...help make this happen.

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 9d

Fun Fact: That makes you awesome...😎😀

I'm a big fan of the 2099 universe, especially Spiderman 2099.

Still have most of the early issues of Spiderman 2099, Ravage 2099, Doom 2099 and Punisher 2099 (the original 4 titles) as well as Hulk 2099 and X-Men 2099.

Billy Poco @bpoco.bsky.social · 9d

I fully.....fully agree.

I was thinking when this Grimlock first debuted, that I'd eventually find him at a Ross store for $15...just wasn't expecting it to be Walmart instead.
