  1. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I'm still on the fence about Scourge, simply on a budget issue. Also, I totally called Freezer being a "missing part" of a larger figure. He clearly "fills out" Scourge's truck mode, and turns into a larger weapon. Also, in the natural light of the livestream, Cheetor looked MUCH better...
  2. Tightening The Belt At Hasbro

    Power Rangers already got an NFT Megazord, why not Transformers? :p I think "shelving" might be too strong a word. I DO think that, without Goldner's direction and drive, we're going to see Hasbro pull back on the "IP company" side of things...hopefully with a renewed focus on fundamentals...
  3. The DC...Extended Universe or Films or Whatever

    James Gunn has released a hype package detailing the current slate of DC's new multimedia initiative
  4. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Hasbro ran their Pulse stream, light on Rise of the Beasts (short "officially" revealing Scourge), but Generations got a good showing with all of wave 2, including some stuff we haven't seen! Core wave 2: Grimlock is chonky AF! Sludge was unsightly in robot mode, Grimlock got it in Dino mode...
  5. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    So, Hasbro’s surprises got spoiled again. Product images are out of Studio Series Scourge (showing a much improved truck mode compared to the leakers), orders will open up tomorrow after the livestream event...
  6. Transformers Legacy toyline

    It has been commented on that Metalhawk may be incorporating a forward swept wing design similar to what the character had in the IDW comics. Would also let them get around citing him from a “Masterforce Universe”. I like what I see. It’s authentic to the anime, and Cyclonus was among the...
  7. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    I'd rather not given that's not going to happen. (Well, MAYBE Tigatron, but only as a repaint/retool of a Cheetor figure) Product lines, much less those tied to a film push, have gotten pretty lean these days. And with how large the cast appears to be (and there are probably still surprises...
  8. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    We would have gotten ninjas and zombies (and zombie ninjas!).
  9. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Eh…I personally think some are being more forgiving to the Core deluxe figures because they are, aesthetically, more aligned with Studio Series and Generations and aren’t trying to replicate a stylized look like Prime, RiD2, Cyberverse and Earthspark. As far as the Core vs Studio Series thing…I...
  10. Dungeons and Dragons, The OGL and Wizards of the Coast

    Which is probably why the OGL revision (especially the part about claiming creative works) reminded me Blizzard’s own EULA shenanigans with Warcraft 3 Reforged. In that revised agreement, for those unfamiliar, Blizzard basically said “anything you make in our editor, we got dibs on”. Likely to...
  11. Dungeons & Dragons

    I’m still hoping for a Transformers Collaborative Owlbear. I’m also surprised we haven’t seen more reveals of the toy line. Hasbro stated that the dragon they showed last year with the Golden Archives first reveal was part of a kids line, but it is getting rather close to the film’s release...
  12. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    Over the past week or so, wave 2 of the Target Special Teams have started to hit retail (Bazooka, Recondo, Cobra Trooper), and today I just got the notification for my preorder on the Tiger Force guys shipping soon from Hasbro Pulse. In addition, during an unboxing stream for the HasLab...
  13. Transformers movie and season 3: how could they have been done better and got a full season 4 and maybe more seasons?

    I think TMNT, at its peak, was higher and lasted longer than Transformers. Transformers pretty much peaked at 1986 with the remainder of its run riding that momentum to its conclusion in 1990 (with season 5 being a glorified repackage of older episodes). TMNT was basically THE top action toy...
  14. Transformers Legacy toyline

    Just about everything I had on order for March shipped by this point, between Voyager waves 3 and 4. I would NOT be surprised if Voyager wave 5 is that soon so that Hasbro can focus on the movie line for the spring and summer.
  15. Titans Return Appreciation Thread

    Since this thread got bumped... Online retailers are getting a rerun of the Retro box Headmasters. If you missed them a couple years ago, now's a good chance to get them for decent prices.
  16. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

    Oh, oh that's nice... I really like what I see here. Not just in terms of "it's a nice looking new beast Transformer", but the engineering is damn near perfect to be applied to a new iteration of Beast Machines Cheetor as well. The comparison to the Core Deluxe is more complicated though. I...
  17. Transformers Retro series (Walmart TFTM Reissues)

    More likely it was "this stuff is already tooled and it's just easier and cheaper to reuse the existing molds than modify them for this sort of release".
  18. Harris-Walz / Dems

    It, frankly, wouldn’t surprise me. I think it’s something that probably flies under the radar or the NARA just isn’t nearly as thorough as they SHOULD be when it comes to document retrieval. The problem is that Trump flashed a giant light on it because of his ego. From what I’ve read, Biden’s...
