Because 20 years ago, Titan Books had the license to reprint the Marvel-published comics while Dreamwave published their own Trade Paperbacks. By the time IDW took over, the comic licenses were sorted out so IDW could reprint anything Hasbro owned. They decided NOT to reprint the Generation 2...

Reassure you of what? Hasbro probably knew that was a possibility, but likely didn’t care because people were just voting in a poll about Transformers.

*Blows dust off thread*. Not sure where else to put this considering all the fuss around the Flash feature film, but Spinmasters is moving forward with the toy line due in March. No official reveals or anything, but leaks have obviously occurred. 12” figures have been shown, including two...

Just a curiosity I’ve seen, I’m wondering if others are as well: I’ve been to three Walmarts and a Target. ALL have clearanced out the Netflix kids line (one Walmart had PILES of the Talon Fighter). This is a bit surprising to me since Mattel is just launching a Castle Greyskull play set and...

Silver Optimus has posted more information on the toyline, mostly from his native country. But it does help “fill in the blanks” on some details. He’s also reporting information regarding a “Beast mode Optimus PRIME”. Humorously, Hasbro seems to have a Core Deluxe (aka, not Studio Series)...

Except for the fact they have partnership with Paramount to promote the multimillion dollar movie due in a couple months. Regardless of the mess Wizards of the Coast is making right now, the toy guys still have cartoon and movie toys to try and sell to fans.

Still, the vote was just a couple years (YMMV) from the release of Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus (which was pretty good), a year after Takara’s version (which was also pretty good), and Ultra Magnus was heavily featured in Transformers Prime, and got a number of good toys there. I’ll stand with...

So…you’re saying it already WAS the perfect conclusion to Generation 2? :p

Lol, I‘m one of those in-betweeners: I am JUST old enough to have grown up on the “backside” of the preak of the 80s brands, but young enough to have missed a lot of what become “core franchise staples” by being a couple years too young.

A 1920s pulpy Batman takes on Lovecraftian cults and monsters in the next DC Animated film due in March

Speaking of the Python Patrol, a new leak has revealed another Target exclusive for the coming year (even though the existing ones have been sparse): Python Crimson Guard! This one really excites me. As a little one who missed the golden years of the brand (by virtue of not being born), the...

There is NO US Toy Fair in February, anymore. It’s been moved into a late September spot (likely because most new stuff for a new year starts shipping BEFORE Toy Fair is traditionally held). Presumably, Hasbro will have some sort of presentation is show off the slate of products as we saw with...

Here's the breakdown: Hasbro had a slate of toys planned for Rise of the Beasts LAST YEAR when it was originally meant for release. Due to production timetables, most of the stuff was built around preliminary design work. Part of that planned slate included "main line" Deluxe figures and...

Gorgeous. Though, I've LONG been an admitted fan of the Battle Core Optimus Prime color deco. Nova Prime might be as close as I get in terms of the deco on a better figure.

I'm pining for a Grand Mal just to wrap my "Fanon" of Beast Megatron completing his scheme of trying to take over the multiverse with a satisfying "final villain".

FWIW, I've never had an exclusive cancelled by Amazon. I've had a package lost, but that's not an explicitly Amazon issue. I think both Amazon and Hasbro have done a LOT to mitigate those issues over the past few years. That's become less of an issue the past few years. Hasbro's been...

It’s worth noting that Simon Furman was allowed to “finish” his plans through Regeneration One. Outside of removing Liege Maximo, I think it was heavily implied that Regeneration One basically covered all the “core plot points” he had planned for Marvel G1 and G2. GI Joe got a revival because...

Hell, the past decade has seen DC rewrite its universe every couple years or so.
