I was 5 or 6 when the transformers started, so according to their marketing I was the perfect age. That would have made me around 8 when the movie came out.

So in related news, after 40 years they finally made a gi joe vehicle that scales with the 3.75 inch line and turns into a transformer.

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-TRA-Project-Trooper-1/dp/B000OZW7M0/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3QHFZ4SPU3DO1&keywords=megatron+hiss&qid=1645752482&sprefix=megatron+hiss%2Caps%2C61&sr=8-1

It's not perfect but this might never happen again so I've already pre-ordered.

MrThunderwing:
Yeah, I saw that. It's a nice idea and I like that the box is an amalgam of the classic original 1980's Transformers and GI Joe logo and art. It's a shame they didn't make Megatron a tad bigger though, scale-wise he only looks a couple of feet taller than the Baroness. He's got s fair bit of kibble on him in robot mode too. I'm presuming Hasbro'll make an Autobot/Joe counterpart to this something like Optimus Prime teamed up with Scarlett.

Howard_Casto:
Honestly I think they shot themselves in the foot in terms of scale. I understand why they did it, big transformers are expensive to make, but if they get around to doing the obvious Cobra Commander and Starscream combo they are going to realize that all the cobra jets tower over a HISS tank in terms of scale.

Btw, Sludge and Scrapyard went on preorder today. I prefer to get these guys in person but considering the supply chain issues they've had around here I went ahead and put them on preorder on amazon and if I find them in the wild sooner I'll just cancel them.

MrThunderwing:
Bought some fairly inexpensive bootleg G1 Deception Cassettes from AliExpress (Rumble, Ravage, Ratbat and Laserbeak). Frenzy's also bootleg, but I've actually owned him since I was a kid (picked up at a market in Italy about 33 years ago). Beastbox is the only the genuine Cassette in the photo, that I picked up at a toy fair about 15 years ago.

Howard_Casto:
Nice.

I've ran out of room to display mine and I've got the ark on the way... couldn't pass up that entertainment earth sale even though I don't really collect titans. Anyway, I hope to get some shelves up this weekend, and I'll take pics of my collection.
