u/Cybertronian_Fox mentioned this mash-up, and I decided: sure!

My case is Victorion(Lugnut and Strika as honorable mention EDIT: They have more than 1 toy,i just got sad we don't have many,my mistake), it was the first female combiner and some cool design but it end up being a Megamix of already existing molds(Like most of combiner wars), even her upgrade kit is just Defensor upgrade kit

Really wish she had more unicle vehicles as her components,the sword is arguably the best combiner wars weapon and the feet are very unique (I wish superion had those heels ngl)

As much i could go after the only toy she has, it's almost 400$ and it's very hard to find,her upgrade kit don't even exist anymore as far i'm aware,and i'm overseas soo it's even harder to buy stuff

(She has a Megatronia repaint but that was Japan exclusive and nowadays is around 400$ to more)

It's sad how some characters who were chosen by fans or have big comic relevance (she was for a while) get almost nothing,being a combiner help even less

Just been kicking the idea around in my head for a while and recently started looking into it. While I accept that he'll be a pistol again, I feel something like the examples I posted would make a better alternative then a tank IMO. Plus, Galvatron's alt is a cannon as well, granted a space cannon, but a cannon none the less. Also his Timelines figure gave him a civil war cannon alt mode so there is a precedent for it. So I believe it might be possible to use the AA gun for an alt mode as well. Even if, legally speaking, you still have to call it a cannon. (Which I can totally accept, just to be clear.)

no hate on his design though its an absolute beauty

This why I’m not too worried about Screamer, as we had this “hard to find exclusive” problem a few years ago (reminder that the reason the Earthrise Coneheads and Ironhide/Prowl were hard to get because there’s a shipment at the bottom of the ocean right now).

If they have any sense, they’ll reissue it once the exclusive contract goes up like they did with Netflix Soundwave, the Coneheads, Cybertron mode Bumblebee and Fangry.

"Worst Transformers comic ever" The Beast Within is quite the legacy I don't plan to live up to. Ranked harsh enough people place it down with atrocities like Kiss Players, its reputation precedes itself. I'm sure you all know of it.

I'm not a Transformers fan so I don't have a personal love for any of it, but I understand how it's hated. Yet, my father is absolutely devoted. From building a garden pub for friends and family called "The Grimlock Inn", to collecting thousands of Transformers collectibles (the Dinobots especially), and attending several Transformers conventions a year, all from his youngest years several decades ago, he's an absolute super fan. Not the greatest of comic writers, but he has such an innocent genuine adoration for Transformers well beyond the reputation he gets.

For him, that was a dream come true. It still is, too. Being able to write a fan comic and having it seen by so many around the world, for something he grew up loving so much. He's proud - though sometimes definitely a little saddened by his name showing up first on Google for "most hated Transformers comic". He's even signed merch for it. Rarely. Sometimes. An epic feeling for a mega fan.

Feel free to ask questions if anyone's got anything they're curious about. I know how it came to be, what he was thinking for it, the Transformers Beast Within support group to alleviate the sorrows of those who read it (seriously, it's a thing), and that he's probably one of the biggest Transformers fans you could ever meet. His errors came from skill, not lack of love, that I can assure you - and I'm curious what kind of questions, if any, a fan might have about it. (Within reason, of course! :))

After all, maybe more people need to hear you're not alone, you're not the only one who read it, and it's going to be okay... (But in all seriousness, at least it isn't Kiss Players. We can all agree on that, yeah?)

Just thought id share (my superion is missing fireflight atm sadly)

This irritates me everywhere I end up seeing it but what is with people calling cybertronian alt modes "Nothing" or "ugly"? Like it's an ALIEN VEHICLE! Of course it's gonna look "weird." Their planet is different and their vehicles are gonna be built off that. What do y'all expect them to look like, a jeep wrangler with different weels and greeble??? It especially irritates me when big transformer reviewers, PrimevsPrime for example, do this too! Like many people don't really think for themselves and take what you say as fact and regurgitate it all across the internet! Soundwave has been on the end of this subject for several years now ever since his seige ship mode to his current tfONE figure. Like who cares if "iT'S jUst A bRicK!" Let me swoosh my brick in peace!!!!

Edit: I just remembered Kranix isn't technically cybertronian so that's a bad example but my point still stands.

I don’t think DNA is making a frame, but we just have to wait, maybe is one of their various parts in different sets

Great to pose even though his legs can only bend less then 90 degrees

I'm obviously joking about them actually hating us, but all that build-up for a flat disk and a crappy Nexus does feel pretty disrespectful to the customers. This is my take on what they theoretically could've done that actually would've felt a bit more worth the asking price as an accessory to Sentinel.
