It’s OUT! First two episodes! It’s “Space Goonies” in all the positive ways. It’s very “Amblin” in ways you just don’t see in most media these days. Accessible to kids and families, but it doesn’t talk down to either group. Most of my reservations come from how Disney has been handling its...

Legal Eagle posted a response. It's one of those things that I see his points...but it's also well past the point, IMO, where such concerns are that pressing. The comments section MASSIVELY (and with a good deal of respect, mind you) in disagreement with his position. Most of the comments...

To this day, I've never rewatched Rise of Skywalker in its entirety. I'm an easy mark for STar Wars stuff...but RoS? I will die on the hill that is one of worst pieces of main Star Wars media ever produced. And that includes The Holiday Special

Random blind box. You gotta open it up to see which versions you get! Powered Convoy still gets one with both the same color with both having double left hands, though

I have to applaud that Hasbro will seemingly get the retail G2 Dinobots out of the way in short order. Grimlock at retail, the other two as Selects, and we have a complete "set". I'm sure some will argue for the G2 Swoop and Sludge, but they can do so later without making a big expensive set...

I think a LOT of that can be chalked up to the fact that, depending on the episodes, there WILL be slight variations on how a character might be portrayed. Grab any 5 episodes across all 90-some episodes of G1, and you might might well come across 3-5 slightly different portrayals of Optimus...

Amusingly, as we all fuss about “franchise fatigue” and all that… Transformers 2007 was just put on Netflix (probably yesterday) and when I was on a few hours ago, it was number 3 on the day’s Top 10 listing for films.

I guess opposite do attract...?

To be fair, there ARE sequences in More Than Meets The Eye where Optimus Prime DOES sport dual headlight pairs…

Eh, the talking heads will point to it for the next four years as “Biden was just as bad as Trump!” When Trump starts his unethical (possibly illegal) shenanigans come next spring. MrBlud sums up most of my views on the subject. And I can’t even be assed enough to make a fraction of a fuss...

I’m necessarily saying THAT. My argument is that, in the short snippets TV spots and Trailers are able to provide, TFOne didn’t come across as visually more compelling that two of the more recent Transformers series, be it Earthspark or Prime (which is readily available through numerous, legal...

I would sometimes be late for work on Saturdays (I worked at Pizza Hut in HS. I would go in for a few hours Saturday to assist with the lunch buffet rush) to try and catch Beast Machines on Fox Kids.

The first trailer offered a “pedestrian” animated film impression, granted, and while I think the marketing got better (and I, personally, saw more ads for Transformers than Wild Robot), I think the differences between our IMPRESSIONS of the marketing speak to broader issues in marketing, in...

And doesn’t that look “right”? I argued all last summer that the biggest issue I had with SS86 Prime were those flat windows. All it needed was ONE extra bit of deco to replicate that “Sunbow look”.

That’s fine. I posted it at a late time yesterday/day before, so a lot of it was just “brain streaming” of information. Eh, it really DOES look to me like the venom head on the deluxe Spidey is designed to “interact” with Spider-Man or that the symbiote was “begrudgenly” working with...

I still maintain that, aside from maybe a too late release date, the movie itself did nothing wrong. It’s just that, maybe, people are a little tired of the franchise. Beetlejuice rode that Burton-resurgence and nostalgia for the first to big bucks, and while Wild Robot had a soft opening, it...

At least I’m not the oldest one posting here :p I’m the same age as Transformers, so I was a little late to G1. Not sure which was “first”, but I have vague memories of watching the assorted syndication runs in 1987 and 1988 plus having the Animated film on VHS. And there were local video...

*tap, tap, tap*. Yeah, I’m going to ramble about 2025’s kid-focused junk for all 2 of your that might actually be interested, besides me. General summation: Hasbro has renamed their “Epic Heroes” segment into “Epic World of Action”. Maybe an attempt to make it obvious the figures are small...

Ollies is offering 25% ALL their action figures 11/25 to 12/2. This would make any deluxe class Beast Wars reissues cheaper NOW than they were in 1996! https://www.ollies.us/great-deals/action-figure-buyout/

Hasbro’s Pulse site has their yearly sale: 25% off for non-members, 35% for members on select products, minimum purchase of $75. I’ve looked at some of the offerings, but I can’t seem to login. Is it just me or are others having this issue...
