With that logic, we could even extend it to TV series, too, as those are also made by studios.

Except, Legacy is pretty much a catch all Generations Transformers line too, picking from all over the brand's history and media for whatever toys it wants to include. Studio Series going to same route would make the two line pretty indistinguishable from each other beyond one still making some toys based on the live action movies and one that doesn't, at which point they might as well just be the same line.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:With that logic, we could even extend it to TV series, too, as those are also made by studios.

Maybe Studio Series is evolving the same way the Masters of the Universe Masterverse is. It started as a line for the Revalations series, now it has incorporated the CGI series, the original series (for the 40th anniversary) and even figures based on tweaked concept art.
I'm not against a catch all Generations Transformers line that's outside the current themed main line. They're quickly hitting the wall for movie figures they haven't already made (sometimes multiple times) so letting it evolve isn't such a bad idea.

As did the Netflix line and now the Speedia line

You're thinking short term, I'm thinking long term. That's what Legacy is right now (if you pretend Prime Universe isn't in it), in 2024 the line that takes that slot could literally be anything. Besides, Kingdom and SS86 were nearly indistinguishable from each other, we have the Jazz and Cliffjumper repaints and retools to prove it, and they coexisted.

Metroplex... simply isn't Metroplex, is a different character. I still ask myself why, when figures get bigger, alt modes look weird and lame.
Thundercracker is great.
Seems like you've never seen the pictures of Cybertron Metroplex's alt mode, as it is a very real thing (it's also gigantic) also if the name bothers you, just call him by his Japanese Galaxy Force name

All these figures are great, I'm so glad to have them!

Getting him clicked into vehicle mode is satisfying and he passes the roll test! (That's a big part of my grade when reviewing a toy )

Oh man, that's such bad luck. I hope your family gets better soon and that you can finish isolation in time to see the re-release.
Your custom paintjobs look stunning, as usual. They'd look awesome displayed in front of a background that evokes the alleyway where they first meet Sam!
