If it's $90, but doesn't have the costly licensing fee attached since Hasbro owns GI Joe, then we're probably looking at a Commander Class figure, at which point I would be shocked if it couldn't seat at least one Joe/Cobra. We had legends figures that all had seats for Titanmasters, after...

Man, is something up with Bigbadtoystore? I ordered Tigatron and Waspinator around the end of September and while Waspinator showed up in my pile of loot two months later, still no Tigatron and I have like 9 days before that Waspy has to ship. Meanwhile Hasbro pulse has both of them in stock...

I initially thought Hasbro just didn't have faith in a mainline toy with a cassette deck alt-mode in the year 2020, but we got a boombox Blaster, so that can't be it.

Got my shipping notification too.

Yeah, Phase 2 really put a lot of effort into picking up the pieces left from Phase 1. It's nice in an industry that often treats continuity as a burden on creativity and not a tool to paint with.

Well, Dreamwave only had a license for a few years. (ANd, uh, didn't produce the best quality stuff.) so that's not quite the same as a company that's held the IP for like 15 years now. (And while IDW2 isn't the same as IDW1, they did carry over a lot of ideas and flavor) Honestly, the thing...

I'll always wonder where the reboot story would have gone if they had had a decade to play with instead of 3.5 years, but at least this is known early enough that we might get some kind of conclusion. Not sure what the next guys are going to be able to offer to get me interested, but I'll...

That Igaunus is genuinely impressive. I'd be 100% down on Skywarp if they hadn't 86'd his arm guns. Now I'm probably going to have to buy a $10 third party accessory pack for my $10 toy. Great.

Main book will likely deal with teh Bots vs Cons arc while Wars End deals Exarchon, the namesake of the War of the Threefold Spark, which supposedly ended with his death but since he's still alive, that war ain't over.

With any luck, we'll see that, the Hexen II expansion, and Heretic II made available. I'd add in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars but that's a MP only game and I doubt it has much of a player base anymore.

It was the PS2 era when Sony had like 2x the market share of Nintendo and Microsoft combined; they didn't need mascots.

Nah, Microsoft is already sitting on a treasure trove of IP that's lying around unused because there's only so many games their people can work on. They don't need IP. they need people to make the games. Specifically what they need is content. Content for Gamepass. Old games are good (Play...

It's a shame they didn't go with the detachable limbs that SS Kup had. IIRC, there was a unlicensed set of Junkions that all had teh same transformation style, but their parts were interchangable so you could create a lot of unique looks.

A studio series Matrix of Leadship designed with similar ethos to other Hasbro prop replicas.

Unions dont need the permission of their employers to form. There'd be no unions otherwise. :D Also the reason it doesn't include artists and writers is because Image only employs those positions as "freelance", and US law prohibits them from participating in collective bargaining. As for...

Image just unionized, so that might have an effect in the discussions Skybound is having with Hasbro, though I doubt it changes anything in the long run.

I'm still bummed IDW isn't going to finish the UK Transformers run. Or put out a G2 collection.

Not sure the guy formerly in charge of Wizards of the Coast is being the new CEO fills me with confidence, but we'll see I guess.

I really want to see a RPG system that tries to incorporate the tech spec numbers as player stats. I.E. Instead of D&D where it's Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, you'd have Strength, Intelligence, Speed, Endurance, Rank, Courage, Firepowerblast and Skill.

I would be shocked if they kept IDW's continuity. Though I'd be shocked if they wound up doing anything but an early G1 inspired take on things like how Dreamwave and IDW started. Cast of the popular characters fighting the war on earth.
