Just in general… I’m REALLY impressed by the Prime Changers. They aren’t super complicated, and while they make compromises to accuracy, they “get the point across“ perfectly fine. For being just $5 less than the “Deluxe” price point, aside from size, I’m not sure we are really losing that...

I’d guarantee Flatline will be a Red Alert retool. I’m also confident that Carnivac will be a Silverbolt retool. Barring the ballsy move of redecoing Siege Spinister, the inclusion of Vortex into the line makes more sense if both are derived from the same base tooling. I also think that, for...

Overcharge will be the new head with Blitzwing colors in a pack of 3.

How about some positive stuff in here? Astrobot is a joy of a game. On a design standpoint, I feel it falls somewhere between a Lego platformer and Super Mario Odyssey (skewing more to Mario in terms of the actual mechanics). While not using all them fancy new technical features like Ray...

I just got a PS5 this past winter with the first round of price cuts And hardware revision. I do NOT have a high refresh, 4K display that I play my game content on. In that respect, most of the benefits of the Pro are not going to affect me. By and large, I don’t think a LOT of average...

Officially, he should just be a package refresh of the original release. However, “batch variations” are a thing and it is POSSIBLE that changes may crop up in this batch that were not present in the original. All I felt I needed was Wheeljack. Got everyone else on their first runs, and I...

Let’s be honest, though. If you’re relying on your local retailer for your Transformers needs? You’ve been pretty SOL for the better part of a decade. Retail distribution has sucked for years, and has only gotten worse with the “demo split”. And if you’re unlucky to be stuck with JUST a...

Curse my overnight work schedule! Got the link to the Zoom event with Steve Evans, but I HAVE to get some sleep if I’m going to be up from (basically) 5:30pm to ~9am. I’m basically going to miss everything today, including the sale items. At least there is nothing I feel “essential”...

Considering Chromedome was a far bigger deal in Japan, being the “star” of Headmasters, I feel a ML Headmaster Arcee is a higher possibility than I would have placed getting the original prototype made into toy form.

I believe there is some convention or show going on in Japan, and some of the first reveals have been two new Missing Link projects: Sunstreaker and Arcee (based on the original prototype). I believe the 86 crew is there to show how a ML Arcee could "fit in" with the original toys...

They DID! In 2005 as a limited release thing with the few toys being TRU exclusives...but they still got it, and those glorious bastiches at Trigger remembered!

But Beast Machines was acknowledged!

The sad part of this announcement is that it is overshadowing the coverage for the pure joy that is Astro Bot. Which happens to have a pretty boppin’ rendition of the 2018 God of War theme for a special level.

OMFGWTFBBQ! Cyberworld show CONFIRMED!!!! ( /s) https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/09/11/transformers-cyberworld-official-trademark-revealed-519621 This just seems like a general mark to cover ANY media efforts Hasbro might make. Even BotBots got a few animated specials

By and large, I found Nocturne to be a solid sequel and felt more "consistent" in quality over the given episodes. I think they touched on some interesting ideas, but it took me a bit to warm to Richter. He's got a bit of that "angsty emo bitch" thing going on early on. Also wasn't as crass...

Yeah, I grew up in the peak of those "micro lines": MASK, DinoRiders, Micro Machines, Transformers Micromasters, Computer Warriors. I'm still hoping that Cyberworld is a mini-line evocative of that sort of play pattern. Word was that Mattel was doing some work on redoing Dino-Riders some years...

But there’s a world of them, what about a Cyber..WORLD?! To try and get back on track: I’m probably going to preorder ASAP the few figures I want from United Wave 5. I don’t have a huge amount of faith of everything getting solid retail distribution early next year, not with the back end of...

Big Playstation news! Sony revealed the PS5 Pro. 45% bigger GPU (with 67% more compute units), improved architecture, AI upscaling, improved ray tracing. Some 8500 PS4 titles will see a performance boost (akin to what Microsoft has done with Xbox on many older titles). System will ship with...

I fully expect Hasbro to, at least, announce the name and some initial character name/art drops for “Generations 2025”. I do NOT expect to see actual toys (barring any leaks) until next March during Toy Fair.
