"Straight out the Jungle" (1988)

Still don't get the hate these toys get.

What did you make of the chrome Takara used on many of the Henkei! Transformers toys?

(And yes, you can hear our thoughts in our latest epsiode!)

Back in the early days of Generations, collectors were treated to a slew of alternate Takara decos on fan-favourite Classics designs — this was HENKEI! HENKEI! TRANSFORMERS!

How's this for a fried slice of Hot Rod vehicle mode?

Remember when Henkei! / Classics dropped the first Transformers Bumblebee toy in *ages*?

Because we do — and we're talking about it in our new episode! Now live with patron early access.

Transformers Classics was the birth of modern Generations back in 2006, but then came the extra shiny Takara alternative - yes, we're back for a new episode, and we're talking Henkei! Henkei! Transformers!

What do you make of this line?

Have you ever experienced 'collector burnout'?

Have you ever had collector burnout?

We're here to chat about when collecting becomes too much, too overwhelming, too stressful. Why does it happen, and is there a way back?

Now LIVE --> triple-takeover-toyc...

Do you have any burnout stories?

We're pulling no punches in our new episode as we chat about burnout — and not the Transformer!

It's about when collecting becomes too much, too overwhelming, too stressful. Why does it happen, and is there a way back?

Oof. @tripletakeover.bsky.social going for the throat with the latest episode about collector burnout. Definitely one I'll be listening to multiple times as I work through my own stack of unopened figures from over a year ago, building a sales pile and stepping over boxes on the floor.

What do you make of Titans Return Quake?

We were pretty taken with that alt mode, for starters!

You can hear the full chat in our latest TR miniseries chat --> www.patreon.com/post...

Tanks or no tanks?

Titans Return Quake is an oddity — the character has since been "redone" in Transformers Generations despite this version dating to just 2017.

Yet there's still plenty to like, and we're drilling into that in a new miniseries --> www.patreon.com/posts/best-o...

What's your take on him?

Who else has fallen (eh?) in love with this guy over 2025?

Which have been your favourite 13 Primes so far?

On 15th June 2023, we released our 50th minisode, including this chat, a little over 6 weeks before the first glimpse of the Transformers Missing Link line.

It turns out that sometimes, you can dare to keep all your dreams alive.

We’ve launched something new for patrons: Triple Takeover Outtakes.

Rather than scattering bonus clips around, we’re now bundling them into dedicated volumes — starting back at our earliest recordings.

Vol 1 is live now, with more to follow over the next month.

2025 will always be the year *this* happened... Missing Link Cordon, Sunstreaker & hopefully a Spinout on the way soon!

We get into why these landmark releases meant so much to us in our new ep, all about the best of 2025 --> triple-takeover-toyc...

Who else appreciated these toys this last year?

How would you describe this package in one word?

Generation 2 Optimus Prime, MISB — bold, brash, and pure ’90s energy.

Here's something I've been working on — a brand-new website that pulls all my creative content together in one place, including photography, writing, video, and podcast.

Have a look around — I’d love to know what you think.

With 2026 now here, we just want to say thank you.

Thanks to everyone who listened, joined the discussions, and helped make 2025 such a joy to record. Here’s to more in 2026.

Happy New Year 🎉

One of the undeniable highlights of 2025 was seeing the classic '80s Arcee 'made real' in Missing Link.

But... what if they made Unicron? Would such a thing ever happen?

I've written a thing about the idea - LINK BELOW ⬇️

Would you be interested in a Missing Link G1 Unicron?
