Look at that jet mode, that undercarriage cleans up nicely.

Amazing how well the 3Ps mogg Takara.

Some are really good, others have issues, like some toy engineers from Zeta Toys and X-Transbots.

Badcube was also pretty bad at times but got better. Would be nice to know who they are now. I think X-Transbots have some of their engineers.

Get woke, lose the brand that you built your company off of.

Oh and a new model kit is up for preorder

This was bound to happen since they weren't making a lot of money since 2015. 2018 it was known that they would file for bankruptcy by 2023 if nothing changed. It had nothing to do with them being "woke" and everything to do with them not knowing how to run a company.
For those who don't know. IDW parent company had to take out a $22.5m loan back in 2018-19 and only managed to pay back 3/5ths of that. 2018 they took out another loan for $5 million that they had to pay back by December 2018. This is how IDW stayed afloat. Asking for loans and trying their best to pay it back. On average, the company makes about $10m a year, 2017 being their best.

"Masterpiece" Bulkhead from X-Transbots. Looks like he's on some Atkin's diet.
Alt mod looks good but the bot mod doesn't scream "Bulkhead" at all unless they can make the legs shorter.

I forgot to mention that it's based on their MX-V Dante.

He needs to be shorter then the cab part would look better. This mold is alright but I preferred the Maketoys Inferno. Made sure to buy extra's when they put the proceeds to helping out the people in Fort Mac when the town burned down. X-Transbots didn't bother so I wont be picking any more Dante molds from them.

that would help , i also think that if some more of the truck parts were hidden in robot* mode he'd look alot better

Most of the back get's folded up to make his back flaps which is pretty good. If make toys does something like this I'll pick up and just treat it as a younger version of Bulkhead. Though I could get an Oshkoch model and a printed Bulkhead head and do something similar.
Maketoys Hellfire was a lot rounder and squatter than Dante.

Mysterious Voyager Dinobot spotted on Target's listing. My guess it's Snarl. Sludge I think was already hinted at. People think it's yet another Dinobot but I doubt it. Not for Legacy.

Did anyone else get the kickass TLK repaint? I love that thing, especially the “molten core” aesthetic.

I have the 2010. I've been wanting to see about getting that one and add the dark grey shell to it.

I’ve been slowly but surely turning TLK Primus into a “Dark Primus” I’ve been painting the eyes/various unpainted greebles a sickly green for a Regeneration One homage and picking out the surface details in silver.

I’ve been sort of building a Regen display so this’ll be the centrepiece.
