Meanwhile I'm still waiting for Hasbro and/or Takara Tomy to remember Armada Hot Shot exists.

As long as it's a good figure. Hot Shot is my favorite, and probably the single Transformer I'd like to have outside of maybe a Starscream.

It is a ridiculously good-looking figure. I remember when the "Studio Series is shifting to the Animated movie" rumors started, I laughed pretty hard. "Finally," I thought, "a chance to get G1-styled figures back in production!" With the Generations line basically having the identity of Slavishly G1, I could not imagine what a Studio Series take on these characters would have to offer.

Well, shit, now I know! They definitely seem to aiming for Masterpiece Before Playing With It Was Something You'd Have To Schedule, which I am totally down for. (That Masterpiece Hound can go straight to hell.) A Voyager price-point Hot Rod with that level of accuracy and polish? That actually improves on elements of the Masterpiece figure? Sign me up!

I’m quite excited to see their Dinobots now too, gotta say! If they make an even better Swoop than PotP...

Hasbro: "We love all our series equally! G1... Beast Smores... Oh yeah, the movie! Live action? No, we meen animated. Anime series? We did an anime? And a whole series called "Animated"? This all sounds very fake."
