I dunno @limburger , I wouldn’t consider any film that breaks the $1 billon mark in under a month one that folks ignored 😉

Your points ref Shazam are not entirely without merit, but it does mix the formula up and the execution is top notch

@woldenspoons reminds me I do need to pick up some Coal Black. I want to see how it stacks up against Corvus Black and Necromancer Cloak.

@mage yeah, the Dinoforce are the real comic relief of Victory, and are played as idiots in a way even Season 3 Grimlock wasn’t. The Monsterbots were a bit frustrating – Hasbro did release them both, but Grotesque was an exclusive that got dumped on a limited number of shops after Toys’R’Us folded as they were  supposed to be sold there, and Repugnus was one of three figures sold as special editions to commemorate the conclusion of the Prime Wars trilogy of lines – a US release of the Takara Blast Off mould for Combiner Wars, Repugnus for Titans Return, and the spy Punch/Counterpunch for Prime Wars. Thankfully all three of those were available at reasonable prices via Amazon US (with competitive shipping rates – even got a refund on one as the duty I paid was too much) whilst a good egg in the TF collecting community brought up a load of the Grotesques at her local store and sent them out for what she paid plus shipping. As it is now the Takara set is the only way to get both easily, but you do end up paying for it. Always dug the idea behind the Monsterbots though, that where The Wreckers are the Autobots “public” commando team, and the Dinobots are shock troops, the Monsterbots are the team so brutal in their methods that officially they are disavowed. Only officially mind  you….
