    When Magnus did it in the Story of Binaltech, however, he had to plead for the Matrix to please let him wield its power in that moment, as both he and it recognized that Magnus was not the Chosen One meant to bear the Matrix, so it was more of a case of "desperate times call for desperate...

    It was basically an analogy of King Arthur being the one born to wield the sword Excalibur; the destined one chosen by divine right to pull the sword from the stone and become the one true king. The problem at the time that Hasbro was oblivious to was the fact that people liked Optimus more and...

    In Japan it is the name of his City Mode, yes. But, just to make things more confusing, it's also used as an alternate name for the whole of Autobot City itself (whose proper Japanese name was already "Cybertron City", since the Autobots are called "Cybertrons" in Japan).

    Considering that there was a whole 9-month gap between the end of season 3 and the three-part season 4, I'd say it's fair to say that production on "The Rebirth" didn't start until after all production of season 3 (including "The Return of Optimus Prime") was done and over with.

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    All my Walmarts carry an excess of old EarthSpark toys that nobody wants (tons of Deluxe Megatrons and the gimmick toys), while all my Targets barely carry any EarthSpark toys anymore, and what little they have left is just the same old stuff that Walmart has in abundance.

    Oh, they do order stuff. They order a whole year's worth of the first wave and then just give up on the rest of the line when the excess first wave items don't sell at all. And then they wonder why more people aren't buying more of what they already bought.

    And neither of these will actually be sold in stores because brick-and-mortar stores have just given up on EarthSpark as the excess of 2022/2023 toys continue to clog the shelves going unsold.

    So, this morning, Linkara uploaded a reupload of his History of MMPR Season 2 video. I watched it just to see if there was anything different about this one, and sure enough, it's actually a third revision of this retrospective. He had to reupload it anyway due to the previous YouTube-friendly...
