Hasbro still puts out toys that focus more on gimmicks over articulation. They just do it in the lines they specifically market to kids and that (seemingly) most of the fandom derides or at least has little to no interest in.

Yeah, they were minibot-toy sized.

I swear to god they said somewhere that S2 was 26 episodes (Split 10-8-8 like S1 was) but I'll be damned if I can find it now.

Any word on the remaining 8 episodes of S2? (Or, I guess they'd call it S4?)

We still need a Zeta Prime. And I wouldn't mind a new Sentinel Prime; the last one is almost a decade old at this point.

Nova Prime and Nacelle are getting reissued. Nacelle is a weird choice, but that Nova Prime is probably the best that mold ever got.

Apparently some copies of this started showing up in New Zealand? https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/03/11/haslab-rid-2001-omega-prime-in-hand-images-534576#more-534576

That toy got redeemed by the IDW comics by making him best buds with the Octane (i.e.Tall Tankor)

Gonna just repost something I said on TFW.

I think it was "Quartex" not "Cortex" and implies 25% of.. something?

Hey, uh.. did anyone else order the Mandalorian from Walmart? 'Cause I did. Or more specifically I ordered ONE. They sent me a case of them. Anyone else have that happen to them? I can't imagine they'd make this mistake only once.

Wait, is Elita-1 a boat? We don't get a lot of boat Transformers.

Conceptually I think it's great, but the execution just isn't grabbing me, but it's nice to see a toyline that feels more like what we used to get in the 80's-2000's, and I might have to get that Sky-Byte car regardless. If the new show starts in summer, when are the releasing those last eight...

My big spate of QC issues started around Kingdom with several figures that either broke or had difficulties. I thankfully haven't had any yellowing issues I noticed. (Well, my Netflix Soundwave is a little green in the grey)

I'm not talking about durability. I'm referring more to stuff like size, hollowness, amount of paint apps, and other places where it's appears the budget held back the figure. Also there was a hot minute where QC was really terrible, but I feel like I haven't had an issue with that in a few years.

Unfortunately, unless you can completely change how Hasbro functions as a company, specifically in what their overall goals are (i.e. making as much money as possible in the short term rather than something sustainable in the long term), the prices will continue to increase while the quality of...

I save my doomsaying for current events.

To be fair, they had to pull some shenanigans to get Unicron funded that they haven't done since. (Namely the date extension, dude got like a 84 day campaign compared to 45-ish that most of the current ones go for)
