Re: SWTF Vader/Anakin

This is really a text book example of the moral hazard as applied to licensed products. It is not unusual to hear complaints that licensed products of franchises, (especially in regards to fiction), are inferior in one way or another.

Re: Cybertron retro reviews

Figure, what the hey, why not a general Cybertron review thread? Yes, okay, fine, you got me. It's because Landmine is a Masterforce character and this dude is a...decent enough homage to him.

Re: The Best of Animated

I'd want something that serves as an introduction to the series, but with "Transform And Roll Out" being three episodes long, I can't justify it as the introduction, even if it is the best introduction. "Home Is Where The Spark Is" does a good job of putting the show on a decent ...
