Figured this was the best place for this information, but retailer listings have started to crop up for Swapticons. Retailing for $7.99-ish, according to JtPrime, they will be little 2 packs where the two robots merge into some sort of vehicle mode. No images, yet. JtPrime's comment: Links...

The best part of the Game Awards…and they did NOT hold back

From what I heard at the time (the “He Tell Me” crowd) was that GI Joe was doing fine. IF anything, GI Joe ended up doing a bit “better” than Transformers in 2004, simply by virtue of not having PILES of overstock clogging down the line for most of the year. GI Joe was clearly doing well...

FYI, Walmart has nearly ALL of their Night Force exclusives on markdown as part of a Christmas sale. Tunnel Rat was about $10 Shooter was about $15 The RAM and Shockwave was $22 and change Lt. Falcon and Quarrel $44-ish.

A week and a half until Christmas and Walmart be blowing stuff out the doors! Be sure to check your other favorite brands, but here’s new markdowns for Transformers: G1 Retro Optimus Prime- $35.24 G1 Retro Bombshell and Ramhorn- $10.08 Star Raider Leader pack- $22.48 (!) Star Raider Filch, Road...

That’s been one of my favorite things about this crossover: it has REALLY allowed the Mattel designers to flex some creative muscle that is all too rare in these legacy brands. My overall enthusiasm dampened considerably after the store exclusive fiascos of this past year, but there are still...

I didn’t realize copying the link at a specific time would do that

First Off, Astrobot, the GLORIOUS platformer from Team Asobi, won Game of the Year at the Game Awards (among other nods). While I have nothing against the usual open world adventures or RPGs that tend to dominate awards season (and Metaphor WAS well represented this year)…it’s still refreshing...

That’s about my biggest “hang up” on the 13, as a modern concept. Hasbro and fans are so set on “defining” everything to a concrete thing, some of that fun we get from building our own interpretations seem lost. Just consider how different fans probably perceived The Jedi Order and The Clone...

Reportedly, some leaked footage of a 2020 build for Transformers Reactivate.

Statler and Waldorf are at the Game Awards. They are as confused as the rest of us as to why they are there.

Well, jive. Turned out this WTF episode of Secret Level was a "pre-preview" of BN's new title, Shadow Labyrinth. Which uses much of the same WTFery which permeated this weird episode.

I found the Hot Wheels Racerverse toy I wanted today. I largely ignored the line, until... I found out they did a Star Trek Captain Kirk release. And not just any, but of early-mid 80s coifed hair Shatner riding in an Enterprise 1701 refit in all its Wrath of Khan glory. The fact it wasn't...

Lord, the Pac Man episode of Secret Level was a just a big ole pile of Dubya Tee Eff!

The catch there is that...there IS no "idealized G1 cast" everyone can agree on. You have toy, cartoon, and comic, each with their own quirks and unique style choices. The early Generations/Prime Wars days were heavily geared around the toys as the default look. These days the Sunbow cartoon...

I find it interesting that Mark explicitly cited Prima as sporting the "Creation Matrix", NOT the Matrix of Leadership. You know what would help with this whole "Primes" thing? Give them all a Matrix (or comparative Macguffin thing like Star Convoy's Zodiac). Follow the Japanese series and...

A narrative tweak might be that they WERE all Primes..at a given point. Maybe conceptualize the Matrix as one part repository and one part “power up” as a fragment of Primus. Every set period of time, original 12 would hold a council to “elect” a new council leader (who would become the “Prime...

Late 2004. Grabbed them a week or so before Thanksgiving the ONE time I saw the set.

New discounts at Walmart. Remember, so long as the site listing is FROM WALMART, stores will honor the lower price! Retro Bombshell and Ramhorn- $15 Thundertron Star Seeker pack- $30! TFOne Megachanger and Energon Glow Bumblebee figures are $10 and change each War for Cybertron Trilogy...
