Funny, Thunderbolts is probably the only superhero film I'm even minorly looking forward to now.

The Ecto-1 hit its funding goal!

We already dumped a bunch of Hitler speeches into space, I think that (space)ship sailed.

That was probably an order of magnitude cheaper than you think it is. I've seen an independent game studio do a similar thing for their first game.

The earliest episode I can remember watching is the Return of Optimus Prime (specifically the fight between Computron and Abominus). I probably caught plenty of other eps on TV, though I have no recollection of them Growing up I had "Fire in the Sky" on an official VHS tape. (Which is funny...

It's been awhile, but IIRC, his quest to buy twitter started because a right-winger troll he (or more specifically, his girlfriend) liked got banned from the platform. I wouldn't shake his statements off so easily.

God I hope you're right. It's bad enough being under Chris Cocks and a bunch of shareholders, I couldn't imagine how shitty it'd be under Musk's sole discretion.

Well this year keeps getting worse, somehow.

How does one distinguish whether or not something is "Fanfic" in this case? Like, the man was paid to write that stuff and it was approved by whatever loosey-goosy approval process Hasbro had at the time, just like everything else.

Prima isn't supposed to turn into anything, so I'm guessing since he's the ur-Prime, they just made him a similar vehicle to Optimus. I imagine we'll find out more with the inevitable behind the scenes.

The funny thing about Atari (or the company that bought the rights and then rebranded to Atari) is that they floundered around with not-great retro consoles and dumb stuff like speaker hats and then at some point they decided to become the defacto retro-gaming house and acquired Digitial Eclipse...

Influencers are getting Two-in-the-Box review copies The Ecto-1 Haslab is still going, Brian Brink put out his projections and his worse case scenerio has things just barely getting funded. It's going to be a nail biter for sure. https://geekdadlife.com/brian-brinks-haslab-charts/

I mean, the article says two games a year over the next two years. It's unlikely those are going to all be big budget AAA games. Like reactivate might be one, but the other three are probably smaller experiences, likely phone games.

It's not hard to figure out what happened. They licensed Transformers out to Paramount and got a series of incredibly lucrative blockbusters that revitalized the franchise, which came at at time where less and less kids were into toys (versus videogames) and the adult collector market was still...

Keep in mind we don't even know if that's properly transformed or is missing pieces besides the head.

Hmmm... I thought I might be on to something but I think I'm off.

Well, keep in mind I only said it was a cute idea; I haven't read it nor am I in the Botcon ecosystem so I have nothing to be disappointed at there.

Fair enough. EDIT: Also that's a very cute idea for a comic.

Micron is actually a normal word, so it's much harder to trademark. -bot is too generic, but -con is pretty well in Transformers wheelhouse, so I see why they went with it. Micron is absolutely so much better, though. My head canon is that "mini-con" is short for "miniature converter" as the...

Honestly, there's a good chance Hasbro's lawyers never saw the video and the people making it (very good chance being outside contractors) didn't know that Hasbro didn't have the rights to this one transformers series. Yeah, but that just means you can't make a film or tv show called Micky...
