    Not meaning to revive this old thread (even if it was one of the more interesting topics) but I just had an epiphany which I wanted to share.

    As mentioned, I haven't lost interest in Transformers - how could I when it has been such a big part of my life, I think it's more a case of changing priorities.

    Devastator was my final grail item and this was fulfilled when TakTom released the Encore version (flaws aside). Since then, I have found it increasingly difficult to even considering buying anymore Transformers. In my mind, what could be better than owning Devastator? And that's just it - if I were to buy anything, it would have to surpass my last purchase otherwise what's the point. You kind of just get to a point when you hit the ceiling.

    I'm completely over DOTM, I'm completely over repaints and retools, I have no interest in PRiDE, and I refuse to handover anymore money until Hasbro step-up to the plate and produce the goods. MP Sideswipe is a good start but until then, I'll just enjoy what I've got.

    Yeah, it's about the only thing that has sparked my interest (see my sig). Fingers crossed though that it doesn't come out in those horrid G2 colours.

    Hard to say unless I've seen what they're planning on releasing. Since the live action movies, Classis and Animated have been shining lights in an otherwise dull 4 years.

    Yes, that'd be Time Warrior the watch... a pet obsession of his.

    What I most certainly do care about for the first time in years is Transformers comics. More Than Meets The Eye; Autocracy; Regeneration 1; Robots In Disguise; the bonus material in the UK Classics and Last Stand of the Wreckers hardcover... as of the past few months we have entered the best era for Transformers comics since the eighties.

    Although I think it's too early to say that we are in some 'comics renaissance', I will agree that if quality like this continues, we will be reaching one.
