Sentinel Prime's New Solar Cycle's resolution is to be 5% less of a jerk than he was last year. It may not sound like much, but it's more than Skywarp is doing; he pushed seven Mini-Cons down the stairs before 12:30!

Help Us Build the Database / Re: Confirmed U.S. release date for 30 Snake Eyes & Timber: Alpha Commandos?

Not to add to the confusion, but there are reviews for this toy that were posted as early as July 1st: https://www.google.com/search?q=30+Snake+Eyes+%26+Timber:+Alpha+Commandos&safe=active&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS970US971&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiBm_TGno71AhXMg-AKHYg0AGoQ_AUoAHoECAEQCg&biw=1142&bih=859&dpr=1

I'm so glad Hasbro made an action figure of Agent Simmons from the Transformers movies. There's nothing more satisfying than grinding him under Fortress Maximus's foot. What, you thought I like him? No, nobody likes him. (Hammy photo courtesy of Hellscream333.)

I also added Robo Force (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10183) and listed some missing/filled in some of the empty Convertors products (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=7860), if anyone is interested.

Wow, Robo Force! That brings back some memories.

Quick update: we've added a dedicated Funko category to the site since the last post. And if anyone would like to contribute to the building of this database, your help will be much appreciated, because - dang - this is a lot of stuff for one person to enter.

And also whimsically joyous; this seems to be lost to the stone-faces of the Netflix age.

That's very true. Almost every RH looks like it's really happy to be involved.

Ahh, yes. I remember being at RIComicCon and somebody had those 2 packs up for $100 a piece.
Not happening for me but to each their own.
While I never dived into the Heroes myself, i always took a look when i was in-store .
The sculpts were always interesting and a bit more dynamic than a regular, static, vinyl sculpt.

Ouch. I don't blame you for passing. My girlfriend got them for me one Xmas. No idea what she paid for them, but I hope it wasn't that much.

I dove headfirst into these guys because I thought they were so dang awesome. I still have the G1 & Beast series, though I'm trying to unload the movie figs since they don't hold as much charm for me anymore. Sucks that the line ended before we got BM Primal & Jetstorm. We've gotten some similar lines since then, but none of them grabbed me like these did. There's something appealing about the RH aesthetic that later lines weren't able to match.

Weren't there a couple 2 packs that only made it Australasia?

Yes, indeed: Ricochet & Predaking and Tigatron & Inferno.

This is Snarl. Except it's not Snarl, it's Slag. Except it's not Slag, it's Slug. He comes packaged with Sharkticon. Except it's not Sharkticon, it's Gnaw. Got a headache yet? (Photo courtesy of Squallte, or whatever name he's going by these days, I can't keep track.)

It's October, which means Halloween, which means spooky things, so naturally we need to highlight the spookiest Decepticon of all: Mindwipe! Nothing scares Autobots more than when he transforms into a stealth fighter and--wait, stealth fighter? Isn't he supposed to turn into a big, creepy bat? Oh, that's a different Mindwipe. Awkward. Well, stealth fighters are scary too, right? All dark and... radar-deflecting... I think I'm gonna cut my losses on this one. If anyone needs me, I'll be eating candy corn to atone for my carelessness. (Full-size candy bar-worthy photo courtesy of Hellscream333.)

I can't find anything to back this up, but I'm positive that when Flame Convoy is alone, he pops out his extra heads and does Three Stooges routines with himself. He must, right? Wouldn't you if you had two optional noggins? (Photo courtesy of HighPrime, who prefers Joe Besser over Curly Howard and doesn't care who knows it.)
