The ice in both stories doesn't behave like normal ice. In Hamster and Gretel it's a plotpoint. In MAWS its not. In H&G, Gretel think the ice is normal and tries to interact it as a super powered being would interact with normal ice, but it's not normal ice, which frustrates our hero...

Well.... I can't believe I'm saying this, but Hamster and Gretel did a better ice villain than this latest Superman episode. Both shows feature the villain freezing people, and the hero stopping it "instantly." H&G's villain notes that the frozen people are quantum entangled with the source...

I watched the first two episodes last night on MAX and... I have thoughts. First, why is this on Adult Swim? This seems like a perfectly average "young adult" cartoon; maybe skewing a bit older than Superman The Animated Series, but not by much. Second, given the title I was expecting more of...

This is where you lost me. Beast Machines breaks the mold in a few ways, but it begins with Megatron having conquered cybertron. He doesn't "want" anything; he has everything he ever wanted. Season 2 of Beast Machines changed this status quo, and it ended with Megatron doing [something], but...

I think Michael Bay's live action transformers was to blame; it came out immediately after an oil crisis of it's own, after all. They were more enamored with the idea that human technology was developed from Cybertronians (... maybe?), but that went nowhere and was always a bad idea (like that...

Good question. I wouldn't mind Titan pricepoint Beast Wars ships; whereas the Ark and Nemesis are in scale with "nanofigures" (ugh), I think you could do an Axalon or Darksyde with an opening bridge that could fit, say, Micromaster-scale versions of the Beast Figures. (They'd be out of scale...

I think maybe the time has come and gone; he'd be great as a Battle Master (~$5) figure, as long as he could be used as a club (or better still, gun) in alt mode. I suppose a fair Core class figure could work, but few places even bother to carry Core class anymore. Maybe if they do a...

The title of the shared universe, "Energon Universe," is kind of an anti-hook for me. I like shared universes, but not when they just hit you over the head with them. I don't like Joe/Cobra being "Let's mine energon," and I don't like Earth having Energon... at least not enough for an arms...

Brown Owlbear sounds cool! Thanks for the heads up! Regarding Pulse, I don't like it as a subscription service. It feels predatory to pay them for the privilege of pre-ordering product at cost. I still order from Pulse, but every time Pulse is sold out and I can get it on Amazon, I get it...
