Great reveals yesterday, even if there isn’t much for me to say about each figure on their own merits (Hasbro does good work, there is some light modernization, but Pretty retro). I’m a sucker for Tiger Force, so those are a given. Probably see how much I can get for my Heavy Assault Roadblock...

The big issue I see was that, if Hasbro were to “scale” these guys closer to the broader Legacy line…then people would complain they were not “impressive enough” for a HasLab offering. Wouldn’t matter what modifications or improvements Hasbro would have made, the overall message that would...

Eh, it was one of those recent Leaders :p But I think my point stands: Hasbro probably would have made a “good enough” Deathsaurus even if a retool. Just like I think Legacy Skyquake/Dreadwing have the potential to give us “good enough” iterations of King Atlas, Machine Wars Starscream or G1...

I’m still rolling the dice on him dying from his health style and stress (maybe even suicide) before he spends a day in prison. I think it’s still up in the air if he’ll even survive through the Insurrection prosecution, given how long he and his lawyers are dragging it out.

Here’s my view on Haslab: I sincerely believe that Hasbro should be saving the initiative for stuff that are TRULY not viable at the mass market. Granted, that limit is pretty darn fine when it comes to Transformers. Deathsaurus was REALLY toeing that line, as I think they could have made a...

They left ample teases for a third season. It will all depend on the streaming numbers. I don’t think anything produced anymore is without its share of “bitching”. It will just depend on if people are bothering to watch it. And I liked it! The biggest change for the better WAS halving the...

*Spongebob meme* A COUPLE ‘OURS LAY-TER… Vince McMahon has “resigned” from all positions within TKO Holdings. https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2024/1/26/24052356/vince-mcmahon-resigns-tko-wwe

I don’t know how to feel about this: The hospital I work at uses KnowBe4, a cyber security training company. Part of that includes being able to post “vigilance” posters offered by them. And let’s just say, some MAJOR nerds work there. One that got posted this week in the elevator? It was a...

News got posted over at the Legacy thread, but JtPrime posted a new retail listing for new Selects/Retail Exclusives: Target is getting a themed retailer exclusive Optimus Prime (Laser) with ER trailer and Bullseye (Ravage repaint), along with another 86 movie death pack (Ratchet and Brawn). One...

Might be an issue where just the individual figure assortments did poorly, but the sets might have done better? To be fair, we DO need deluxe Seaspray and Powerglide first… I’m still surprised we’ve yet to see Hasbro leverage retro packaging akin to what they did with the Headmasters (old...

To be fair, with some of the recent multipacks, they HAVE been including those alternate parts...so it's not out of line to think that possibility

I seem to recall issues years back where people tried to associate to each 07-series by number...but since NONE of the films used numerals and nobody could remember which came when...we all settled on abbreviations of the titles rather than by the numeric sequence.

The lighting in those pics is WAY blown out, too. There were a couple other pic at TFW in more natural lighting which shows Trailbreaker seems to have a charcoal color, closer to the animation model. Wheels are cast in the same color, but if you have DK Breaker, you could swap the wheels. And...

Beast Machines is marginalized enough, you guys aren't taking away its initialism! FWIW, Primalxconvoy, the retail listings say MV6 (Bumblebee) Sunstreaker, not "Gamer" or "HM (High Moon)". My feeling is that there were a number of 84-86 characters conceptualized for the Cybertron sequences...

First look at BBM Sunstreaker https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/01/17/studio-series-bbm-deluxe-sunstreaker-first-look-502298

Pulse Premium was pretty good for store exclusives (and, YMMV, still is), but outside of Walmart’s stuff, Hasbro has been pretty good about cycling overstock, reruns, and the other major retailers HAVE stepped up to improve availability. And all considered, I’d rather give my money to Hasbro...

Eh, we’ll probably get another round of 84-86 in about 10-15 years when costs force the average deluxe down to the size of a core. Or when the need to match Sunbow character models gets exhausted (which is probably a factor in the alt mode complaint, the team is prioritizing the robot mode over...

Look! It’s Mister McGrumpypants himself! https://www.allspark.com/first-look-at-legacy-united-gears/ Entertainment Earth has a notification for a Transformers drop on Tuesday (they all but state it’s Tidal Wave), but with Silverbolt known and Gears leaked, we might see more of wave 2 United...

There is also the fact that the Ark is the only known starship on Earth, with who knows how much damage. While they COULD have scavenged parts from the Ark, it might impair their ability to repair the ship later on. Starscream likely viewed his fellow soldiers as more expendable than trying to...

Deductions can be difficult, given the lack of price points and any information concerning the film. It’s also probable that Hasbro is taking a different approach to the expressions, given the different nature of the film (from what we know). RotB was built around that big team up between the...
