Time flies, and I cannot wait until I can announce it.

Its shaping up really nicely.

Something something "hierarchy of the DrLockdown universe is about to change."

So, the Legacy Video is currently the biggest video I've ever made, easily...but I've actually been working on an even BIGGER project in the background.

Keeping it on the down low, and not asking collaborators yet, but today marks one year since I started the project.

Not noticed any, but I'm hearing a bunch of people say the same thing so I'll be sure to be careful.

And they were all yelloooooooooooooow.

EYO WHAT?!

I'm...honestly taken aback. Could've sworn it was at 25K yesterday.

...I should...probably edit that overdue Q&A soon...

Got a Doc Take up for Early Access. Had a topic I wanted to discuss, so I put this together quickly.

Volcanicus review also coming soon, but just fixing up a few things first.

Nothing seen in the listings sadly, but I'm still holding out hope that Hasbro will finish up those Diaclone updates.

Still really close. We only have four left that need doing (in the Carbot lineup).

Check the listings.

It's only scorponok and tidal wave at the moment, but it's a start.

Just occurred to me we get the clash between Scorponok and Fort Max next year, both an a more affordable leader scale...

...but ones IDW and ones Energon.

Hyped for both, but you gotta admit that's funny.

Just realising everyone, myself included, was disappointed the upcoming Walmart line was "Energon" in name only, and not the actual updates.

And now we're getting Scorponok and Tidal Wave.

Hell yeah.

Super excited for the new line wave. So much to get excited for.

But.

Nitpick.

How are we to abbreviate it when "Age of Evolution" shares an acronym with another previous series?

Killer mold. Can't wait for Megazarak.

Changing the lineup in reviews a little bit.

The next review will still be Legacy Volcanicus, but after that, I've been given a sponsorship opportunity that takes priority.

It covers a topic I've wanted to do for years anyway, so this is the perfect chance to do so.

Genuinely this feels like the worst toy I've gotten all year, and it's not even close.

There's an amazing figure in here somewhere, but it's just been stripped of all the budget needed to make it happen.

I could warm up to it, and I'm not rushing into making a video because I need to sit with it...but I just don't see that happening.

Shuttle is fine, but not worth the other two modes. Even the blast effect is hollow from th underside.

Also I don't think this is "unpaintable plastic". It doesn't feel like it. It's most likely they just cut the budget.

I'm really sorry. I DESPERATELY wanted to be proven wrong.

But first impressions are... pretty awful. Bot mode refuses to hold together in multiple points, I wish only here 45 degrees. Train mode photographs amazingly but looks awful in person.

Yo momma

And it is specifically Americans.

No other nationality automatically assumes I'm on their side of the world.

And it IS a constant and consistent thing. I know I don't sound stereotypically "aussie"...but I CERTAINLY don't sound American, and yet...here we are.

I feel like I should start putting a disclaimer on my videos about the fact I'm Australian.

Because whenever I bring up anything to do with figures over here (stock, shelfwarming, sales, release schedules), Americans specifically get confused and ask "which state is that".

Love prima, though I feel I'm alone in that.

It's definitely gotten better.

Gotta wonder why they're only deluxe or smaller though. Cowards.

Likewise.

Hence why these aren't mine. Photographed a friend's copy for an old project.

Oh yeah. Plane elita supremacy.

Gave the legacy car to my partner.

Having handled her, and the other versions, she's not worth it.

Just wait for them to do a 'proper' one.

This came from the time where Hasbro thought "women don't buy transformers so we can't sell fembots unless they're all the same mold".

Not saying they're perfect now, but...god it was awful.

IDK, I just feel that this 'team' and 'body type' (if you can call them that) deserve better.

I know reissuing figures is usually pretty good, but I can't be the only one bummed out that they're only reissuing Greenlight and not making a new one.

It was an awful mold at the time, and its only 'quality' these days is its absurd price.

She's rare, but for no reason.

OVA Hell celebrates its first year!

Let's take a trip down memory lane and reminisce on the trash and the treasure.

So anyway, GUNSMITH CATS.

I know I got no dog in this race because I'm just waiting to finish the Hasbro ones anyway.

But the fact that G2 Menasor costs more than Haslab Unicron here...just how.

Take a cut. Fine. It's business.

But I'm just baffled they could charge that much.
