Have you heard of Pong?

I don't disagree. Hasbro Interactive was largely fine. I'm just saying the Atari acquisition didn't amount to much.

Unity has plugins for that. I wouldn't be surprised if Godot does too at this point.

Remember the time Hasbro wanted a stronger presence in videogames so they bought Atari and sold it off a few years later when it turned out they didn't really know what they wanted to do with it?

That Detritus mold reminded me of somebody.

It's definitely more of the same. Hasbro has a long history of spending way too much on odd acquisitions and partnerships. At least they got some stuff out of this one.

I was also introduced to the toys first. It has been weird being a fan of the toys in a toy based franchise, feeling like I'm being told to hug off. I understand the attachment to the cartoon, and the appeal of trying to capture something that was never meant to physically exist. It's very cool...

Ironhide and Ratchet might not be too hard. They don't have many existing joints to tweak, but nothing in the design is in the way of adding new joints. It just costs money, and this line apparently isn't afraid to charge whatever they feel like.

I want it all. Now is not the time to stop to think if they should.

Selling eOne sounds like a big deal (and that price difference... woof) but they're not really selling all of it. They're keeping the IPs they bought it for in the first place. So those revenue streams won't go away.

Pretty much. Hasbro's stated plan is to farm things out instead of making them in-house, and it appears that's what eOne does anyway, so nothing is actually changing except dropping some redundant management roles and some IPs Hasbro never wanted anyway.

People are dramatizing this (and yeah, the price difference is staggering) but people have to remember that Hasbro does this all the time. Remember the time they wanted a stronger presence in videogames so they just bought Atari? That purchase didn't last long either. Hasbro just buys things and...

That Megatron isn't even remotely convincing. All the necessary new joints are conveniently completely obscured, whereas on Prime we can see how some of the new joints work.

I want to see the bad ideas too. Just to see them.

The AR-7 is now functional. The only thing still wrong with it is the receiver can't store in the stock. The fit is impossibly tight. Something must be warped somewhere. This is annoying, because the ability to stuff everything in the stock is the only point of an AR-7. But, when it's all...

You're going to have the wobbly graphics, right?

I'm just still amazed that such a tiny trailer unfolds into so much robot and they still had a significant chunk left over.

I liked the spectacle of the Maketoys transformation. That thing was made for stop motion, and then nobody bothered.

I'll definitely check this one out. I'm always up for some good G5 art.

I wish this line got more support in any size class.
