Botcon theme is (SPOILER ALERT)

I wonder how many people who never gave a crap about Machine Wars before and skipped the entire line when it was shelfwarming for years, are suddenly gonna crawl out of the woodwork and proclaim themselves as "long time MW fans."

Not me, I own the only figure from the line that pertains to my interest & that's the way its going to stay.

5 posts to figure out it was Hoist. That's pretty good. Better than I had hoped, even.

Excuse me, but I for one actually preferred the Machine Wars toyline over the Beast Wars toyline back in the day. Not to say the Beasties were terrible or anything (far from it), but Machine Wars delivered my hankering for 'classic' characters I missed out on during the original run. It's also far easier for me to remember purchasing them over the Beasts.

Yeah, I can look back today and see the line for what it was, but for that year or two, it was Machine Wars all the way.

The only negative thing I have to say was disappointment realising there would be no CGI show to follow the line.

One of the great regrets of my TF collecting childhood was never being able to finish off that line. I had nearly every figure.
