I would imagine Hasbro absolutely has the US copyright on Sky-Byte's likeness, which is different from the copyright of RiD. Ther's actually a couple of animated superman movies that are in the public domain despite Superman still being owned by DC/Warner Bros.

Night Dive Studios (who are the kinds of the classic FPS remaster) was looking at doing NOLF, and version of that game made to run on modern systems would be great. Sadly that ain't gonna happen. At least not until Disney buys Warner Bros and merges with Microsoft.

Little off topic, but there's a beloved videogame called No One Lives Forever. (It's a very funny first person spy game in the style of Bond or Austin Powers) It was made by Monolith Productions (currently owned by Warner Bros), published by Fox Interactive (Owned by 20th fox, Sold to Vivendi...

But also, I think we missed out on a cult classic terrible movie with that other Sonic.

it's funny how people are so interested in Sector 7 given the films dropped them before the first movie even hit the credits.

Oh, Hasbro likely makes sure anything that pops up the their media now is theirs. The late 70's, early 80's were a different era for the kind of thing.

It depends on what the contract is and each contract is different. I don't know about any of the manga but I do know a bit about Marvel. For instance, the character Machine Man first appeared in Marvel's 2001: A Space Odyssey comic (which became a sort of anthology series unrelated to the...

They literally only just announced a ROM figure despite having had the Marvel license for ages, and he at least had the title role in a comic that lasted 75 issues and 4 annuals.

That's only because they backported those characters to other comics before the issues where they premiered happened. Which is why Circuit Breaker just randomly shows up in Secret Wars 2 and, like, never again in any Marvel stuff outside of Transformers. There was actually a comic a few years...

It's kind of weird how fragile Unicron's eye was. Or how Slag could burn through his surface. Or how Rodimus Prime could throw Galvatron through his outer walls. Dude survived an exploding moon IN HIS MOUTH without a scratch on him!

It's pretty bad, but that's mostly wrapped up in being one of the most crass toy commercials in history. The first 25 minutes is just an excuse to murder off the existing toys so the new toys can take over, and kinda doesn't have a lot to do with the main plot of Unicron. (Or, conversely, the...

I've see it suggested that when Hot Rod catches the matrix and it does that "Glow" effect (late seen on Unicron's opticon doohicky) that it was basically a big beacon to the chaos bringer. Though that doesn't necessarily explain why he knew what it was or what it could do, unless it was nothing...

Meanwhile Galaxy Shuttle is over here going "Yeah, it's my name, alt-mode and profession. You gotta problem with that?"

The story is trash, but there's a reason the franchise and fandom still quotes that movie incessantly: iconic lines read by a top tier voice cast. And while the animation sometimes has some rough spots, it looks good to fantastic for most of the movie. There's plenty to ding that movie for...

Bonaventura: Pet Detective. Sorry, that one's been eating at me for awhile.

You can keep the maximals, just make them actually important to the plot. I've harped on this before, but the whole thing about Scourge and his crew is that they are too powerful for the Autobots to take on alone... So adding in the Maximals could have evened the odds. Get rid of the crappy...

Don't forget that Hot Rod has a flame motif going on, so his name has a double meaning.

RotF just doubled down on everything I disliked about 2007. Even more juvenile humor (I spent that movie just non-stop going "really?") even more meaningless characters, more ridiculousness with the parents. DotM was better, but man Bay really can't stop being Bay. "Deep Wang" good lord. AoE...

I would have definitely liked to have worked Junkion and Lithone into things, but I do like the number 13 having cultural significance to Transformers. Junkion definitely feels like a non-colony that's too stubborn to die out: without a source of new sparks, they just learned to recycle...

The thing about colonies is space is BIG. You could literally drop a hundred colonies throughout the galaxy and never, ever have them interact and it wouldn't be outlandish. And that's not even getting into intergalactic travel. Anywho, my ideal 12 colonies (Each founded by a "Forge Titan"...
