Generations Deluxe Thundecracker and Hoist up on Hasbro's facebook page

Right here.

I think these are the first pics and confirmation of Generations Thundercracker.

New Transformers:Generations Legends

Check em out here.

More figures similar to the legends Optimus with Roller and Bumblebee. All seem to be IDW designs. The inclusion of Waspinator certainly is out-of-the-blue, but including him with Starscream is fitting.

15 years ago today...

"Code of Hero" first aired on television.

So, having a thread for a single episode might be a bit silly, but a lot of people still consider this one of the best stories out of any Transformers fiction. Concluding Dinobot's story arc (for the most part), it's an episode that I can still remember the first time I watched it. This was when Cartoon Network was doing that week special when they aired Beast wars episodes and had a contest to win a deluxe figure. I was about 7 years old, and all I expected was a cool episode, maybe try to call in to win something. What I did see, though, knocked me over. Even though it wasn't the first death we'd seen in Beast Wars, it had a lot more raw impact. Dinobot was one of my favorite characters, so I got the same gut feeling a lot of older people here talk about when they mention all the deaths in Transformers the Movie. After I rewatched the series later on, I gained a deeper respect for the episode. I think the statue of limitations for spoilers has long passed for this, and everyone knows what happened.


So, here's to ol' Chopperface.

What style do you want for the hypothetical IDW generations line?

Since speculation is rampant over the seemingly very likely possibility of the Generations line shifting to one with IDW pack-in comics and possibly IDW based designs, I'm curious just how people would want those designs to be handled. Do you want them to be heavily based on the artists for the series (like the Prime or Animated figures); really heavily based on Alex Milne, Nick Roche, E.J. Su, Don Figueroa, or the artists of the various spotlights that may be included in the packaging? Or do you want the designs more "standardized", to match up better with previous classics figures in their proportions and faces? And what about characters with less "traditional" appearance , like Rung?

Transformers 4 casting news

News that might be of interest to someone, maybe!

So, Nicola Peltz and Brenton Thwaites are the two roles we've heard of previously of high school girl and her race car driver boyfriend. Only now, he's a biker, and they've been bumped down to supporting actors and not leads. Mark Wahlberg is the girls father. And possibly,the two high schooler's roles may have been demoted to "supporting" while Wahlberg takes lead.

Nothing too exciting, really. Peltz and Thwaites haven't been in anything I've seen besides The Last Airbender, and, well, um, yeah. They're young actors, though, so their limited screen presence is acceptable. and from the looks of it, they don't have to do much, anyway.
