Originally Studio Series was solely for live action film stuff; then it expanded to include animated films. Then videogames and concept characters, and soon comics, but ultimately the idea is "Hey, here is a thing from a piece media that we're ostensibly trying to make look like it does in that...

I agree fully with this, aside from the Quintesson stuff. I think complaining about them "surviving" is veering well into the realm of nitpicking. Acting like those are the only beings on an entire planet is kind of weird. I've always said that the plot and story of the movie are absolute trash...

There's still a distinction in goals between the two, IMO: Studio Series is about trying (with various levels of success) to replicate stuff seen on screen (the live action movies at first, then the animated movies, then games and concept characters) and is going to be moving into comics next...

I got his Windblade wing fillers and his Slipstream conversion and have been happy with them.

TLK at least gives so little a damn about being a good movie that it's almost fun to watch it be terrible. Like, it doesn't care, so I kinda don't care either. Sure, let's have every famous person is history be part of a secret society that's been doing Transformers stuff for centuries...

Okay. I was clarifying the purpose of the piece, not the timing of its release or whether or nor you should buy it. Like, if I was interested in getting into that discussion, believe me, the last ten years would only scratch the surface of why I think its a problematic celebration.

Why wouldn't they push him? He's one of the most popular Joes, isn't he?

Deluxe Unicron had a skeletal look to him, so he always struck me as like some kind of undead drone.

Is this the first ever official pirate ship transformer? I know other toylines have had transforming ships of that nature.

Technically it's representing the 250th anniversary of a country.

White and Red go to Walgreens.

Things are planned two years ahead of time; this was likely decided and pitched to Walmart back in 2024. They could have canceled it, of course, but I imagine that's a bit trickier when it's already promised to a retailer.

Kranix's altmode is actually from the comics.

Also the Matrix https://news.tfw2005.com/2026/02/12/studio-series-roleplay-matrix-first-look-556831 Looks good, but I'm guessing most people will balk at the $125 pricetag.

Eh, "saved" is a generous term for Gamestop given how many stores they're shutting down or already have shut down.

It's a shame Rowling's fervent transphobia overshadows the legitimate problematic elements people with her work. But this is getting pretty off topic.

They only put out one titan a year; they specifically gave AotP the Studio Series commander class figure slot because they were taking the Titan slot for Studio Series. That's why were getting two AotP commanders this year, unlike the previous years where it's been one in each line.

Titan class toy for this year is already taken up by Grimlock, and the rest of the live action dinobots own the titan class for the following three years.

Depends on how they presented, really.
