I'm guessing Javelin exists primarily because someone thought it was a viable retool out of BB Arcee, which is a mold that would probably never get reused again otherwise. I imagine Kaskade was just added in to give the set someflavor. Instead of an obscure character, it's a SNIPER DUEL.
Javelin was a very minor character in IDW1 who got a slightly bigger role in IDW2 where she got into a sniper fight with Kaskade, who is a IDW2 original and didn't do much else besides that.
Javelin had a minor plotline of getting PTSD after getting half of her head blown off by Kaskade.
I think I heard it's against SDCC policy (though I could easily be wrong) to stream panels. Or at least it wasn't a case of Hasbro just randomly deciding not to stream it.

That's a statue of Primus from the IDW comics.

You know that Mass Effect 2 DLC where the relay the Reapers were going to use to get into the galaxy is destroyed, but it's just a delaying tactic becuase the Reapers can just get back to the galaxy on their own, but it's just slower?
That's basically what happened with Unicron. His "appear...
RotB getting delayed screwed hasbro over a bit, as they suddenly had an additional line of Transformers in stores for 2023. I wonder if they're not spacing out RotB a bit to take away some of the saturation. Sort of half now, half later kind of thing.
The issue with the film industry is the result of (what else?) corporations being locked into a exponential growth mindset, which means Studios have become incredibly risk adverse, so now everything needs to be a big franchise that can be monetized for decades. Original films not based on an...
