Marvel literally destroyed every universe in the 2015 "Avengers: Time Runs Out" and "Secret Wars" series. The universes recovered.

Here's the thing: I think it's telling that IDW didn't even both TRYING to reprint G2. It took them five volumes to give up on the UK comics, but G2? The closest we got was using the lead-in G.I. Joe issues to pad out the Classic Transformers vs G.I. Joe collection the put out, where Megatron...

They're G1-ized version of the originals. One thing that really drove this into overdrive is when IDW1 borrowed and greatly expanded upon the colony concept from Cybertron; because they mined other continuities for inhabitants to put on those colonies. It makes sense; they wanted characters...

That was almost IDW, wasn't it? You had G1, G1UK, G1Japan, G2, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, RiD, UT, Animated and Aligned characters and concepts all running around.

My pessimism suggests it'll just be a modernized take of heroic autobots vs evil decepticons on Earth, with maybe an attempt to make the sides a little more grey. I bet the cast is entirely S1/2 as well, aside from like Arcee and some other ladies. I'll hopefully be pretty stoked if I'm wrong...

It's certainly possible; Hasbro owns the rights to the characters and whatnot so they could continue the storylines. I could potentially even see them doing one-offs or miniseries for special occasions, given how acclaimed phase 2 IDW1 was. From the rumors, however, it was suggested that...

Special Releases

Here's the reported physical sales (Keep in mind digital sales are rarely reported) From the month prior to Deviations (February 2016) Transformers #50: 11,098 Transformers More Than Meets Eye #49: 8,449 Transformers Vs G.I. Joe #11: 6,187 From the month Deviations came out. (March 2016)...

I didn't get Legacy Bulkhead because he looked nothing like either verison of Bulkhead; way too square and way too long of legs. If not for the head, I wouldn't even have suspected it was Bulkhead. But that Wreck 'n' Rule paintjob was really good, so I wound up with that one, and he is...

It's been awhile since I followed comics, but Marvel and DC weren't big about talking about thier digital numbers. We knew the physical numbers thanks to Diamond publishing, but the pandemic really made that go screwy, and DC broke away from Diamond so we don't even get numbers for them...

Nothing in and of itself, but Hasbro, by way of Wizards of the Coast, is embroiled in a bit of a scandal at the moment. Long story short is that Dungeons and Dragons 3E was published under something called the "Open Gaming License" which meant anyone could make content, or even their own games...

Pretty much my thought on the matter. You don't talk about your new business partners while your still working with the old one. There's plenty of time to talk about that stuff after the contract expires. The new company likely couldn't even officially start work until after the IDW contract...

I imagine Hasbro was just waiting until the IDW contract to expire before talking about what's next, so I'm expecting to hear about it sometime in the next few months. That said, the rumors say they were talking with Skybound, who had a pitch Hasbro was interested in, but we haven't really...

Kinda funny how even Hasbro's website doesn't show Freezer's alt-modes. Though given the Arcee stock photo looks mistransformed, maybe that's a good thing.

Oh wow, I was expecting to hear something like Fall. I can't like your post enough!

So when the heck is this coming back on air?

It sounds like this is a lot more insidious than at first glance. When the OGL was first created, the developers were adamant that they would not revoke it, and in fact COULD not revoke it. However, I've seen at least one lawyer, who specializes in tabletop RPG copyright law, take look at the...

Yeah, I consider myself fairly well versed in Transformers, but one thing I love about this hobby is that there's constantly some obscure thing I've never heard of before.

What is Hasbro figured out the strength of their characters before the '86 movie was made, so instead of killing off the cast for a new lineup of toys, they all got upgrades instead and the new toys were just new versions of the same core set of characters, with maybe one or two new ones...

Aw, guess I'll have to wait until Core Class Arcee then.
