Painting it yellow and black does not a Bumblebee make.

Transformers Legends Bumblebee is the the 1998th Transformer that I've acquired.

Transformers Legends Jetfire is the the 1997th Transformer that I've acquired.

Transformers Legends Whirl is the the 1996th Transformer that I've acquired.

Transformers Legends Menasor is the the 1995th Transformer that I've acquired.

These are exactly the same figures I already own but in a 2-pack from CostCo that Marmot picked up for me in Florida and sent to the Cowlands.

Hasbro didn't even bother to repaint them at all.

Costco Exclusive Cybertron Optimus Prime and Wing Saber are the 1805th and 1806thTransformers that I've acquired.

I'm not a huge fan of this one but I'll support any small cheap repaints of figures to keep the old names in constant use!

Legends of Cybertron Trypticon is the 1798th bot added to the Attic of Love.

Now this is what I'm talking about!!!

I'd honestly plop down $20 for this from the full size figure if it was a redeco like this. And I'm not even much of a fan of the brick!

Legends of Cybertron Leo Prime is the 1797th bot added to the Attic of Love.

Ok. I can see why the redid this Red Alert as Perceptor.

But man is it boring.

Legends of Cybertron Perceptor is the 1796th bot added to the Attic of Love.

I totally love this version of Reverb (center above). I just gots a thing for the lighter translucent figures. The darker ones just don't do it for me.

Thankfully, Takara has done a lot of lighter ones.

If I'm not mistaken, these guys officially warrant the comment "here endeth Transformers Cybertron" since I don't think we'll see anything else under the subline.

Shadow Recon Team Six-Speed, Reverb, and Jolt are the 1761st through 1763rdTransformers that I've acquired.

A really nice repaint of Lugnutz.

Cybertron Hightail is the 1760th Transformer that I've acquired.

He's here just because I finally found one.

Cybertron Megatron (Deluxe Version 2) is the 1746th Transformer that I've ever gotten.

I found him on sale. I never really wanted him but on sale or clearance I'll probably pick up the the Megatron too.

Unfortunately, I just can't find Megs anywhere anymore.

Cybertron Optimus Prime (v2) is the 1744th Transformer that I've ever gotten.

I don't know why I bought it. I really had no intentions of getting this or Galaxy Force Prime.

Just chalk it up to lameness.

Cybertron Cryo Scourge is the 1739th Transformer that I've ever purchased.

Doug from Geek Acres made me aware of something about Cybertron Scrapmetal that I never knew before.

I have a red one and a yellow one but I never really putzed around transforming them.

Who knew it was a 17-changer?!?!? (From this Allspark thread.)

I mean, some of those modes are better than any of G1 Sixshot or G1 Quickswitches modes.

So there we are watching the final episode of Transformers: Cybertron that the Tivo snagged and at about 14 minutes in the goddamn Tivo seems to have recording at 2x speed and dropped the audio.

Absolutely no idea what happened but the only episode I really actually ever wanted to watch and it was ruined by evil technology!

Grrrr...

Balls!!!!!

Let's face facts here. Hasbro really really really was grasping at straws when they wanted to make Cybertron a "3rd part" connecting it to the Armada-Energon duo. There's just no connection and yet they want kids to think there is for some reason.

I don't understand Hasbro sometimes. Honestly, I think they have people with MBA's making decisions based off of "market research" or some other nonsense when honest to goodness common sense is more than adequate to base some decisions on.

Kids, the primary audience, don't give a shit if Cybertron is part of a trilogy or not.

I digress.

Ok. So thankfully the Tivo didn't mess up at the point where the most awesomest thing in the fucking world happens...

*spoilers*

Found this G1 homage at TRU today.

Cybertron Smokescreen is the 1737th Transformer that I've ever purchased.

While I like the redeco I hadn't planned on buying it.

However, I wanted to get the maximum out of the Buy 2 Get 1 free sale at Toys R Us.

He'll be staying in the box.

This is the 1685th Transformer I've ever purchased.

While I don't think I'll be going after the larger repaints from Cybertron anymore, I didn't see any reason not to pick up the little guys since they are cheap and don't take up much space.

I really like Brakedown GTS' "Kup" homage redeco palette.

I usually don't do the color or minor variant thing but I saw the Prime with the extra planet symbols and decided to get him.
