As the world prepares itself for the release of G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra in mere days, more news has come out about the fate of another video game adventure featuring A Real American Hero. Released in 2020, G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is a team-based third-person shooter pitting six members of a daring highly-trained special mission force against six of those from a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. Options range from running through a story campaign with local split-screen co-op to 4-player "player versus player" matches, featuring modes such as Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Assault, and of course, Deathmatch Arena. Because we all know Cobra Commander loves a good Deathmatch Arena. However, fans apparently didn't love the game quite as much. Reviews gathered by score aggregator Metacritic averaged in the range of 51 to 56, depending on the version. With that said, publisher GameMill Entertainment has announced on Steam that they will be delisting the game there on December 31st, 2024, meaning it will have been available there for just over four years. That goes for its downloadable content as well, which TrueAchievements notes "there is one DLC pack that includes a couple of skins, but the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game does include some extra cosmetics, a digital soundtrack, and a digital art book." Currently, the game is on sale for all major platforms. So if you're only just now hearing about this game for the first time and want to give it a look, it's available as of this writing on Steam for $11.21 CAD (67% off) for the vanilla edition, and $11.60 CAD (80% off) for the Digital Deluxe edition until November 21st. Hey, it's just 39 cents more. Why not treat yourself? Over in Nintendo Land, the Switch version of the game is a whopping $49.99 CAD, but the Digital Deluxe version is $11.99, down from $59.99, a cool 80% off, also until November 21st. But on Xbox, the base game is $12.49 CAD, but the Digital Deluxe version is full price at $59.99. Weird. And finally, the PlayStation version (the lowest rated of the three) is $39.99 USD for the vanilla and $49.99 USD for the Digital Deluxe, because sure, why not at this point? Thanks to SteevyMaximus for the tip! In other news, if GameSpot's 14 minutes of Green Ranger gameplay from the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Revenge wasn't enough to whet your appetite, then IGN has a whopping eight minute preview of their own: For those who can't/won't be bothered to watch, here's a spoilered breakdown of some new information: Overall, the consensus is that it looks like Digital Eclipse will deliver on the sort of coin-op experience we all wish we'd gotten to have with these teenagers with attitude back in the day... ...that is, before Street Fighter II swooped in and turned everyone's attention towards one-on-one fighting games for the next several years. Ah, Power Rangers, you were just a bit too late. If only Robo Rita had gone back to 1991 instead of 1993. Join the Allspark today. Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

The latest news from the Product Does Not Convert corner of Transformersdom involves an upcoming batch of Blokees, the blind-boxed, assembly-required model kit-type representations of our favorite characters from Generation One (and actually Transformers One) and the live-action movies. The official Blokees Instagram page and Weibo page have a neat look posted that gives us an eyeful of the Galaxy Shining 01 collection, a chunky 5.5cm rendering of some familiar friends. https://www.instagram.com/p/DCBLWdyNbVT/ These include a neat little gathering of Autobots and Decepticons, some available in robot mode AND altmode versions that the others can ride (each mode is a separate kit -- Product Does Not Convert, despite what the stop-motion video implies). From this series we can expect: G1 Optimus Prime (robot mode), G1 Optimus Prime (truck mode), G1 Megatron, G1 Prowl, G1 Thundercracker (robot mode), G1 Thundercracker (jet mode), G1 Scavenger (robot mode), G1 Scavenger (excavator mode), G1 Bumblebee (robot mode, gold finish), Animated? Bumblebee (car mode, clear), G1 Ironhide (clear), and Shattered Glass Sideswipe. There are four chase figures, in Armored G1 Optimus Prime, Armored G1 Megatron, and metallic finish figures of G1 Optimus Prime and G1 Megatron. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18t69Ubm8d/ Have you been collecting Blokees kits?

For those whose heads are buried deep into the Energon Universe comics, Image Comics is bringing two offerings related to Transformers for Free Comic Book Day in May 2025: - TRANSFORMERS: WORST BOT EVER SPECIAL : Say hello to a new Decepticon called Ballpoint in this small sneak peek of a brand new Transformers graphic novel. The comic will also provide a sneak peek for FAMILY FORCE V by Matt Braly and Ainsworth Lin. - ENERGON UNIVERSE SPECIAL : Similar to this year's FCBD comic, this second special will feature new stories from Transformers, GI Joe, and Void Rivals. It is designed to be a "jumping off" point for new comers of the comics, as well as bringing in new twists for current readers. Super exciting to see Image comics continue to deliver more Transformers related media. Let's just hope all the characters in these specials make it out alive and in one piece...

Remember the thrill of watching cartoons after school and Saturday mornings, and when they went to commercials, you'd see an exciting new commercial for your favorite toy line -- or maybe a toy line you were less interested in, but hey, the commercial itself was still pretty cool? Those feel like the product of a bygone era, but Hasbro decided to bring back that feeling on Facebook with a retro-styled toy commercial for their modern-styled G.I. Joe Classified Series toy line, complete with the original theme song! But don't take my word for it; have a gander for yourself! Now, so long as we're on the subject, how about we bring back those Transformers commercials narrated by Peter Cullen and Frank Welker that gave each new character or team their own theme song? (New animated portions wouldn't be a bad thing, either.) Thanks to Steevy Maximus for bringing this to our attention! Join the Allspark today.

Finally, we got Team Fortress 3 G.I. Joe may not reclaim their heyday from the 80s, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still tell great stories. While the movies struggle, and the tv shows remain M.I.A., the comics have been the strongest available outlet for these characters and their vehicles. And wouldn’t you know, let’s tie it in with Transformers, too (for like the 3rd time or so, at least in terms of making them a real shared universe.) That’s what we have with the current run of Skybound Comics, where we had a couple of different miniseries before leading up to our main comic released today bearing the title, with issue 1. I thought it was for the cool toys to play with --SPOILERS DOWN BELOW-- As far as first issues goes, it is taking a page from Transformers, with a bit of shocking death, some stage setting for the future of the franchise, and establishing some character dynamics. Though not nearly as sad and mysterious as the latter title, G.I. Joe shows how the current story of the Energon Universe is taking place, with it following the events of Transformers #12, with a piece of Cybertron now in the hands of the US Government, and the titular team is tasked to guard it from any potential threats, despite Duke, the team leader, unsure if they’re ready. Cobra Commander and Destro, now in the possession of Energon, are ready to take it by force, with LASERS. Are you not entertained? Al Gore's gonna make An Inconvenient Truth 3 out of this The team dynamic is mostly on full force, here. Baroness, usually a Cobra agent in past stories and toys, is now a Joe, and her feisty and arrogant nature shows the disruption it can cause for their future as a team (Stalker retorts back to her in Russian how when he brings her back to her parents and see what a disgrace she has become, they’ll ask him to kill her instead.) That coalesces with Duke’s decision to assign her within his group, who is still processing the events of his own miniseries, as he questions what he can do to handle this unknown Cybertronian threat, and what will happen if it falls into worse hands. Baroness: "Shut up, you stupid old pig. Or I'll slit your throat in your sleep." Stalker: "Try that and I'll not only kick your ass, I'll drag you right back to your mommy and daddy and tell them how their little princess got into this messed up life. They brought you into this world, so maybe they'll do me a favor and take you out." With a minor detour of a new Joe, Risk, kicking butt to scare off any potential MARS Industries backers (Destro’s company), we get things rolling into the big action set piece at the Colorado base (Not the first time the Centennial State has had Transformers activity). And of course, the Joes are out of their element when Cobra comes in full throttle, from hacking their computers to firing their lasers (blargh)! The art in this comic is pretty decent. A little stiff paneling with the impact of the action takes place before the motion, but it’s decent and more than serviceable. The colors are sharp, and help to liven the atmosphere where it’s taking place (purple and yellows in the nightclub, red for when the Colorado base has been Cobra-fied). Things may turn for the worse for G.I. Joe right now, but things can always turn up for our heroes, somehow. Maybe a little sacrifice or two. Human shields usually hold up sturdy against laser fire, right? Maybe Rock n Roll will make it out alive this time from all that firepower, eh? I thought Laser Surgery was for the eyes. A solid start for both teams duking it out over stolen resources. (y) -ALArts Look, I can see his parachute, he's ok.

As Morphin Time draws ever closer, more and more tidbits are coming out about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind. Probably the worst kept secret since Day 1 was that yes, Tommy Oliver, the original Green Ranger, would be playable alongside his teammates in this beat 'em up adventure. Despite this, we haven't actually gotten to see the Green Ranger go in any of the game's footage. That is, until now. GameSpot managed to land an exclusive 14-minute look at the game, featuring the Master of the Dragonzord in all his green glory. We also get to hear the voices for each of the Rangers on the character select screen, and some sound like digitized versions of their respective actors, others sound close enough to pass if you don't focus on it too hard, and then there's Jason. Wow. The video shows the beginning of the story, and pretty much the whole first stage, but unfortunately, no Dinozord action. If you can't wait until the game comes out, or just want to get a feel for what's going to be on offer in the beat 'em up stages, take a gander -- er, I mean, "Behold the Viewing Window": Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind will be hitting Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Steam on PC, and PlayStation 4 and 5 on December 10th, 2024. With this and G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra coming out soon, it's just too bad we don't have some sort of Generation 1-based Transformers beat 'em up to complete a Hasbro retro trifecta this holiday season. Oh well.

These days we have an over-abundance of non-toy transformers merchandise, from stickers to birthday plates to shoes, and we had these and more in the 1980's during Transformers early G1 heyday. Today we are going to review some of this G1 merchandise and even open some of it after 40 years! Today we will be looking at G1 Stamps. Let's start off looking at a MOSC Jazz stamp! Now let's open up this 40-year-old Jazz stamp and check it out! As you can see, They make a valiant effort to include details from the character model in the stamp. Let's look at the rest of the set, which consists of Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, and Starscream! These stamps were sold both individually, as seen above, or in a set with an Optimus Prime head carrying case. It was the second option of how I got mine as a child. The carrying case contained a set of stamps for both me and my sibling to use. And use them we did! We stamped a lot of things with these back in the 1980s. Each of these stamps are connected to their screw on caps that contain their ink pad. The stamps' images have excellent versions of the character's alt mode as well as their name. Check them out below! That particular Jazz stamp was made from the 40 year old ink that saw air for the first time last night as I took it out of the sealed individual package. Sadly, over the years, I had lost my original stamps except the Optimus Prime, which I had used on hundreds of packages over the last 7 years or so when mailing Transformers. Fortunately, Ebay has all these wonderful stamps, and I have been able to get my collection back, and you too can find yourself a set there for cheap. Want to interact with more Transformers fans?

If you're thinking to yourself, "wait, didn't this game already get a release date? And didn't you tell us about it?" Well, yes and yes. But that was for the PC version, on Steam, you see. Today, we're talking consoles! That version came out in September, and its release date was announced only days beforehand. So it just makes sense that they would announce the release of the console version (that's Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch) only days beforehand, too, though a few more this time. In this case, you've got just over a week to get tough, and practice your best "Yo, Joe!" for when G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra arrives on November 21st. Just a week before Thanksgiving! The new trailer above gives us a roll call of the Joes' best and brightest. Well, mostly -- no General Hawk or Sgt. Slaughter or even Chief Warrant Officer Flint to be seen. But there's Duke (Duke, in command), Snake-Eyes (hand-to-hand), and Scarlet (ready to fight), squaring off against the fiercest foes Cobra Command has to throw at you, including Destro, Destro and the Baroness (but they're not practicing the clarinet here) and the king snake himself, Cobra Commander (who looks like he's embracing his inner-Shredder. Just watch. IYKYK). You can put up your Duke -- er, dukes -- in multiple modes, including Story, Arcade, and Enemy Shuffle. You can even play couch co-op with friends! As noted above, the game has already been available on Steam for a good month and a half or so now, and is currently 20% (or more, depending on the version) off until November 19th (not an ad). There, the reviews have been... mixed. But aren't they all? More specifically, 65% of the 61 user reviews for the game are positive, according to Steam. Here's just a little skimming of what has been said: If you're interested in more of what people who have played it have to say, just hit this link. At the very least, hopefully they've ironed out some of the bugs in time for the console version's release. Join the Allspark today. Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram
