I can safely guarantee at least 80% of the kid cast and parents will be back. If you have a second reboot that’s successful; you’re not going to do a sequel with a new cast.

I meant more the designs rather than the story. I liked Cyberverse but having EVERYTHING with Optimus as the ‘84 truck isn’t exactly visually interesting. Especially when it comes to Hasbro expecting you to keep buying it.

I feel like there’s enough sticker detail you could do a TM Scourge in toy colors and it be different “enough”.

Everything they’ve done since has been “essentially” a reboot. I like (and think it’s good for overall brand health) that they took bigger swings like 2012 and Rise. Like when Transformers was doing AEC. Designs that are “evocative” of older ones without being 1:1. Rebooting the ‘87 Turtles so...

So pics have surfaced of this toy colored TM Cyclonus. I like it but would’ve preferred the arms have remained purple even though it wouldn’t be accurate in vehicle mode.

Yeah, I was gonna say, this scheme in the Grimlock colors would’ve been 1000x better than what we got.

I can only assume that person who made all those lavender Galvatrons has been promoted to bring their unique brand of “This isn’t the right shade at all!” to more figures.

It makes a “larger” one sure but each is far more their own thing over a BAF arm or something.

Given the “G1-aesthetic” overriding most of the animation specific touches when brought over to Generations ala Prime Arcee and Bulkhead; an Animated Omega Supreme would 100% be the Titan Ark we just got with more red, a gun hand, and a new head.

…but enough about Fortress Maximus ;)

The fan panel was pretty illuminating Some highlights -yellowing plastics - PA plastics (stronger plastic material) is actually doing the yellowing. All of Hasbro plastics are put through a U/V treatment standard. -This team picked Cybertron Metroplex from the previous team. Ties in to Legacy...

It was a painfully stupid ending made even dumber by all of this having to be exposition dumped because…it was painfully stupid.

Fully enclosing Legends boxes with BAF pieces and/or shoddy paint QC seems like a recipe for absolute disaster.

Counterpoint: If I’m paying $220 it damn well better be a pretentious Super Grown-up Collectible with real metal parts because metal. $60 light up plastic sword? Less so.

Spiner likes being involved but doesn’t like Playing Data as an old man? (despite Soong aging tech definitely existing) Sitting in a makeup chair for hours? (valid) Stepping on Data’s stupid, shitty sacrifice in Nemesis? Stepping on Data’s even stupider, shittier suicide in Season 1 of Picard?

Nobody is going to gobble up Hasbro for an in-house toy manufacturer. Hasbro *pays* for the privilege of licensing stuff like Marvel and Star Wars. To the point the other company has leverage like when Disney threatened them so Hasbro wouldn’t buy Dreamworks. They’re going to gobble them up for...

The next one won’t be about Tony Stark but the plot of No Way Home wouldn’t have worked without him.

Mattel is hitting their stride with He-Man. Quality fiction (and toy releases) for both older fans and newer ones. This is in contrast to Hasbro paying YouTubers $5 for “vocal work” (I use the term exceedingly loosely) and cutting corners elsewhere to the point Netflix doesn’t even want a show...

I feel like the technology wasn’t there to capture it effectively.

Not just you but the only intimacy they’ve ever shown onscreen was holding hands for five seconds so there’s not exactly much to build on there. Much like Raffi’s drug use and avoidance of therapy I’m mystified why Picard’s Mom was so against it. I know *here* in our fucked up reality therapy...
