I posted about this in the Transformers section, but bears repeating here:
MeTV will be producing an animation spinoff called MeTV Toons launching June 25th. On the website, one of the portraits that cycles in (presumably, previewing shows they’ll be offering) is Quicksilver, from Silverhawks...
Weigel Broadcasting, the operators of the MeTV family of broadcast channels, is adding a new one this summer called MeTV Toons. MeTV is partnering with WB Discovery for a bulk of the content, but will be acquiring content from sources like Universal (which includes the Classic Media library)...
Amazon has Grayskulls on sale.
Origins for $47 and change, Netflix for $50 and change. Point Dread for $17 and several other deals for Netflix figures and few others.
Amazon is running a sale on Mattel stuff, particularly of interest here is probably the Lightyear toys.
Hyperspeed jets for under $6, the second year stuff like the Armadillo (in film colors) and the 5" scale Starbase for $31 and change.
I was wondering how Mattel was going to justify the Transformers branding on some of these (I got a 07 Mustang or Camaro that is a dead ringer for Bumblebee 2007), so I guess the faction logos and sculpted visage on the underside is how they're doing it.
They're not something I plan to seek...
Not EXACTLY Studio Series, but Yolopark has posted a teaser for a Rise of the Beasts Apelinq thing. Probably gives an idea of what kind of retooling Hasbro is going to do for the Studio Series version due next year (according to leaked listings)...
More toys revealed, via CBR. One Steps and Robot Battlers.

One Steps are leaning into the T-Cog theme present in the film, while Robot Battlers are a gimmick oriented line that at least...
The full link, including the video demonstration:

I'm digging this. They got a nice representation of the different forms of Prime, with some nice gimmicks that enhance the theme further. I'm really...
ScreenCrush has been doing some solid "Easter Egg" Videos on an episode by episode basis (including the Bastion cameos!), I'd recommend people catch them if they can.
Good news, everyone!
Remember Necro Conda ? The undead, deluxe, Snake Warrior figure I was lamenting being a Walmart exclusive?
It's NOT!
It apparently became a Fan Channel item, preorders are up across your favorite nerdy retailers! MSRP $27.99
Remember, he glows in the dark!
So...yeah. McDonald's Happy Meal website lists BNW as the current promotion. As Axaday said, depending on the agreements and lead times, it isn't uncommon for late minute delays to lead to "abandoned" marketing pushes. In McDonald's case, they are probably booked out with Happy Meal...
I got the 3rd Party take on that…a LONG time ago. It will be interesting to see how TaKara approaches the concept. Love the extra bazooka with Cliffjumper, too.
I must admit, I was hoping for an Autobot Car or Seeker before touching mini bots, but I’m guess if TT feels confident about doing...
So, the Transformers team seem to hint that MAYBE we'll be getting more comic deco figures as part of a "capsule" line. Walmart has listings for 2025 for a "Retro inspired" set of figures (4 as indicated by JtPrime, but things can change). I kind of wonder if they'll be comic inspired entries...
That's just a glorified "hot take" I see on forums all the time.
I should stop being lazy. If that guy can make a living churning out that, surely I can make a mark with my thoughts and analysis. The volume of content he seems to churn out indicates his articles are about as well thought out...
