In real terms, Squad Automatic Weapon. (Hasbro calls it Semi-Automatic Weapon, possibly for legal reasons) It’s basically a classification of weapon used for suppression and high rate of fire. It is the modern equivalent to the old “Machine Gunner” soldier function. Starting in the late 80s...

I’m, frankly, surprised by both the inclusion of the character And the decision to get a “name actor” to voice him. Starscream’s role is as minor as Airrachnid’s, and not nearly as plot central. I kind of wonder if the decision for Buscemi wasn’t a “stake claim” on his involvement in a sequel...

Hasbro has YEARS of Studio Series fodder with this film, between remixing SS BBM Soundwave and Shockwave, to the endless recolors of Starscream (and a conehead retool), to all the Autobots who got ”Cogged” at the end (I want a new Jazz!)

I will say that I couldn’t NOT roll my eyes at Orion dying, AGAIN, and get “reborn” as Optimus Prime. But that’s probably a me, as a long time fan, issue than for most audiences. But, damn, if I’m not tired of Jesus allegory with Prime. But in the normal thread, I detailed some of my...

Given prior, similar, “expand from the film” follow up cartoons? The inevitability is that the show would quickly tread into their own path, especially once the film starts to see sequel(s) Could we see a “Cybertron” series INSPIRED by this film? Sure. But even in that case, you’d likely see...

I think I finally grasped what threw me “off” on my view of the film: It really should have been two films, or at least much of the last quarter of the film should have been spun out into a separate feature. I know why they didn't, and I get the necessity of ending the film with Optimus vs...

Someone call the Doom Slayer!

I saw it…and I REALLY liked it. Loved the art direction, loved the character design work (it felt to me like a fusion of cartoon and comic blended through CGI, especially the faces), I was ASTONISHED at the quality of the voice work. Especially from Scarlett Johansson, who typically offers...

That was the original point of price points like Legends and Core: Offer major characters at affordable prices. The first two waves of Legends (composed of Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream) basically shipped for a YEAR before Hasbro started introducing other characters. And I still...

I’m still placing even odds on Fallen being an extensive retool of Armada Megatron.

There have been some updates, but more pressingly: GI Joe ReAction+ figures (aka, the oring figures) are starting to slip out at Target, priced at $20.49 Until Sunday, target Circle members have a one-time use 15% off coupon for an ENTIRE toy purchase in a single transaction. So you could get...

TF One Prime Changer Optimus Prime for $16.99. Also, first wave One Steps and some Titan Changers with Battlers Bumblebee are reduced, One steps at $8.49, Titan Changers and Bumblebee at $12 and change

You know I wasn’t talking THAT Rampage!

Now that “preproduction/cut scene” stuff is on the table for Studio Series toys… Rampage was almost included in Rise of the Beasts, even got a rough 3D model. It’s conceivable that we could get a Studio Series Rampage before he appears in Generations… Now I want a Studio Series Rampage

Something interesting about the Blockees Sentinel Prime: the plamo kit seems to come with his Dark of the Moon dual blade. I just found that interesting since most of his merchandise simply has him with guns.

Death Tracker! I loved it when he was in that thing from that one time!

They do, it’s called “Authentics”. Which were the designs used in Cyberverse, and Earthspark doesn’t deviate that far from those overall looks.

I think my idea is more interesting… But taking a step back…the big question Is what the “gimmick” will be for the toy line. Budget cuts seem back in season, so I’m not sure if the Primes will be Armorizor/Weaponizers as Hasbro’s developed since Siege. What I CAN see is that each Prime...

Yeah, I’ve made a couple posts in the general PlayStation thread about my love of it :p Kind of hitting a brick wall with the challenge levels for the last 5 or so cameo bots.

Microsoft has basically been saying since the end of the XBone era that they are less interested in getting people to buy Xbox consoles than they are simply people playing (and buying) their games, period. That’s why there hasn’t been a true Xbox console exclusive in well over a decade, they...
