Shockwave looks so cool. I'm really tempted to pick him up.

I can afford to buy the MP Transformers toys. I'm just a causal collector of the series, so I just buy whatever I find and like at my local store. MP Shockwave looks really nice and I would buy him if I can afford him.

I have to stay strong.

They have a very nice Galvatron 3rd party figure called Tyrant.

Glad they announced a new MP hotrod, his older version is really messed up. Im scared to transform mine so I keep him in alt mode. This shockwave mp is an instant buy for me.

Meanwhile I've just been trying to get a damn MP Stascream and have had absolute shit luck. Wasn't awake at 3 fucking AM for initial pre-orders, and have never seen him in stock in a store by me.

I've been looking during the dozen times he was listed as ship-to-home in the past few weeks (except for one 2 hour period he was available last week >_<) and just could not get the damn thing to add to my cart. He went too fast.

Until this morning, where I got as far as hitting "Submit Order". The last fucking step. And the page never loaded after that. I didn't realize at first... Maybe I could have checked out again if I had right away... But he was gone again...

I remember back when US MP Soundwave went up. Spent all day refreshing the TRU page, and then said fuck it. Last time I ever bothered with exclusive bullshit.

Ugh, Soundwave... Back when I didn't even live near a TRU let alone have a car to get to one.

Yeah. There's a reason he's near the top of my wants... Because that was horrible.

At only $59.99, Starscream is just too tempting to miss though. :/

And CN apparently Thundercats'd another series.

Why am I not surprised.

[Galvantula]

Crap. Of course CN wants to end the series; it's not like they ever cared for it.

Though that does leave the question of what Hasbro's going to do for the next series. Either stay with Cartoon Network and risk getting Thundercatted again, move to Nick and get drowned out by their live action crap, move to (UGH!) Disney and get ignored in favor of Star Wars, Marvel, whatever it is part of that glob of a company.

Why is it that all three major children's' networks are so fond of subpar dribble? Teen Tians GO, that little yellow thing that should have ended years ago and the lacking Marvel cartoons get all the press while the good shows are ignored. Are children that stupid?

Transformers deserve better than this. At least let the brand have a 65 episode cartoon to its name again.

Meanwhile, the BotCon 2016 set has been announced. Beast Wars repaints/molds of Combiner Wars.

And unlike what some over at TFW are trying to twist my words into, I don't hate its existence (I'm actually a little intrigued by who they'll end up using and the new head molds), I'm just very disappointed that our only Beast Wars 20th anniversary item so far is an overpriced convention exclusive that's not actually even beast toys.

Also, yeah, not surprised about RID. It was destined to fail on Cartoon Network by airing at its earliest time slot and once a week. Been saying that since its announcement..
