Oof, that Shadow Striker is terrible. What the heck is that alt mode supposed to be. At least she has clear windows, but it's clear that the cost cutting for Legacy deluxes has reached a point where you cannot successfully make a Transforming robot out of it.

It made me literally laughed out loud when they claimed he had painted windows "fitting in with the Studio Series" look. Literally only one single studio series toy (other than a couple of vehicles with tiny windows) above core class in the entire history of the line has had painted windows...

Removing the clear plastic to skip out on paying for four cents of sprues looks really bad.

Brawn is absolutely dire.

I laughed the other day that James Roberts tweeted something he'd found in his notebooks showing that the character who turned out to be Tarn was basically intended to be from that character's conception. He didn't expect anyone to believe it.

I am pretty sure Hasbro would be required to update shareholders that a deal had been done before it resulted in product tbh but we'll see.

Yeah, I don't really value the playset idea, it would have to be so vast to be good it'll never happen. Also the shape of the Nemesis would inevitably mean a fairly rubbish playset.

That seems unlikely - the head is almost certainly a reverse ball joint at the top there and actually missing.

They had no confidence in Transformers being it's own thing so that's no real surprise.

Huh, much more explicit about Unicron as the baddie then. I don't think even Paramount know if this is a reboot at this point or not though. Everything seems a bit low energy in that trailer.

Not expecting that much here, but I guess it's possible it will result in some more Mattel brand Crossover figures? Reuse ROTB Cheetor's engineering as MOTU Battlecat? A licensed Thomas Transformer?

I suspect the rights issues around the Daleks put that on the "very hard" category, and I guess Hasbro might not be super keen on admitting to the very litigious Terry Nation estate that they'd had a transformer who turned into one without paying them for thirty years.

Of that list Citadel Secundus is the only one that seems pretty unlikely to get anything in the foreseeable, just because they're less likely to take the punt on something obscure for a Titan sized toy. There are plenty of UK comic characters that might be behind that though. Can't see us...

The rumoured Straxus was a jet though I thought? (Which was hopefully wrong, as you say a Galvatron retool like New Age did with theirs would be wayyy better.)

Good luck, the HA toys are quite hard to find now.

NGL, I am pretty irritated that they wasted tooling for Breakdown giving him a second but virtually identical head tooling instead of fixing the many, many issues with the alt mode of that toy.

Definitely suggests retailers are kicking off about damaged product. Bio PET isn't the best for mib collectors.

Worried how? I think the line is in pretty rough shape (mainly due to cost cutting), and every single toy has gone on heavy discount in the UK.

Nemesis looks really good, which is nice because otherwise that was pretty much a bust of a show. Beachcomber is fine but I literally do not think you can screw that up, and Devcon is surprisingly bad for such a simple toy - the proportions are really wonky. I do not care about Armada's awful...

He got cancelled by Hasbro UK fwiw (though released in the rest of Europe). The repack is out.
