Fans were robbed of more truly great stuff when the line was “refocused” in 2005 than they were in 1995.

Huh. The 2024 rerelease of Interstellar made more money to date than The Crow or Megalopolis.

So…. I’ve been doing my usual “head cannon” (such as we can knowing only a “piece” of the overall arc the team might have planned) to continue building off the “ongoing narrative” Hasbro kind of started with Siege. In my cannon, an assembly of Primes (from the toys: G1 toon and toy, Animated...

*Hasbro releases Energon Sixshot* Seriously, I still stand by the assertion that the 6 changers are a solid foundation to make an Amalgamous Prime and would make a fine excuse to redo Sixshot (who hasn’t had a release since Titans Return). Plus potential retool into Quickswitch or Sixknight.

TBH, if Hasbro had offered Selects Star Convoy a second time? I probably would have gotten it and been completely happy skipping the Titan. But at this point, the Selects is pricing around the same (or more!) than just getting the dang Titan version. But yeah, I can see the Nautica vibes, and...

Scarlett. Specifically, the 2004 Valor vs Venom iteration that was released in the fall of 2004 to discount chains’ single card assortment.

Target has select Transformers on sale for 25% off IN ADDITION to a Circle offer of $10 off a $50 purchase of toys ($25 off when you spend $100)

Probably. And it wouldn’t be the first time! Eh, I’d still peg him closer to Core, if not a bit smaller given some of the oddities of depth and position. I fully expect Liege Maximo to be a leader class figure. Hasbro knows he’s probably one of the biggest “deals”, besides Alpha Trion, of...

It was a bit surprising to me simply because we just got the mold in the Toxitron set which omitted him. Given general “cost concerns”, it would NOT have surprised me if Hasbro had opted not to include Wheelie. But let’s be honest here: G2 Grimlock is being done because he’s a popular...

Because I’m on a tablet and can’t like directly to the images…In this TFW2005 post, there are images from the panel reveal, including “on hand” images of the new figures. CS 53, 54, 55, 59 and 60 are all images from a display table showing the new figures. From Grimlock and Wasp, we have...

I have no problem with the design of the robot or vehicle mode. What I found baffling was the strict adherence to replicating play features of the original toy (the “meh” base mode, the mini Hot Rod, the micro trailer) which was EXPLICITLY designed to interact with stuff that the current...

In fairness, his beast mode may have more black elements that we aren’t seeing with that piece of art. Not sure if reported in this thread, but preorders go up next Tuesday, 12/10. Worth remembering that Star Convoy and Silverbolt may ship a little later than the rest of wave 1. My full...

It’s a replication of a gimmick the original 1991 toy had. Several toys came with little “battle trailers” that interacted with the Battlestar bases (aka, the big guys). That’s kind of why I’m baffled by the slavish devotion to the original toy, since so much of that just isn’t present in the...

There are comparison shots of Star Convoy next to G2 Grimlock. Convoy is about double the height of Grimlock. General comments I’ve read from recent interviews seems to indicate Hasbro might be scaling their lines back a hair. We’ve already seen that in Legacy with Hasbro moving to more...

Giggity! Also, art has leaked for wave 2's Heatwave https://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/CC_011.jpg Also a scan of part of Star Convoy's instruction sheet, indicating some out of box assembly and a space for a second trailer, possibly indicating future Battlestars, I...

Seeing actual figures, it confirms my earlier suspicion/theory that the core "gimmick" for Age of the Primes seems to be the ability to "forge your own relic". Each of the Primes we've seen (even Star Convoy's dildo-saber) seem to break down into parts for you to customize. It also looks like...

More stock images, including Optimus Primal. Info is probably getting rolled out to retailers for a rollout early next spring https://tformers.com/transformers-mixmashers-customizable-action-figures-official-images-and-details-/54124/news.html

And because I don't know where else to put these and don't know if many will care any more about these than Authentics, in general, here are Hydropods. Hydropods are a new Gacha/Surprise product that Hasbro is introducing to its IP range. In addition to Transformers, there will reportedly be...

A new Authentics toy...and it's NOT one the same half dozen characters? BLASPHEMY! Chefatron got his hands on a new Bravo (aka, the big ones) Class Authentic Mirage figure. Sporting an F1 sports car mode, the figure transforms into our first look of his Evergreen robot design. Also notable is...
