Hasbro has officially announced an upcoming Walmart exclusive capsule for Age of the Primes, featuring the power of Energon... and [Jeff Combs voice] Dahhhrrrkk Energooonnnn.
The official drop on the Hasbro Pulse Instagram page showcases clear blue Energon-themed redecos of Siege Optimus Prime...
I mean, it makes sense if we're talking about stuff that NEEDS a proper updating.
I'd love a new Silverbolt and a new Beast Changer/Savage Noble, and a better Tankor. New Strika and Obsidian. A Primal that isn't huge. A Botanica, after all this time.
There's definitely no clearance for the neck area to rotate as is.
Unless the front of the torso also folds down/opens up, leaving this mechanism clear to turn. Then you can turn it 90 degrees, fold up the next head's neck panel (they seem to all be on pinned joints) and close the chest up...
It kind of is, assuming you ignore all those other shapes that are just as prominent as the highlighted ones.
As a whole it kind of reminds me of that lineart alternate head from... Someone's RTS instructions. Lugnut?
It'd almost be worth all the dumb AI- (whether actually LLM or just "intelligent" human fanboys) generated "articles" retreading the tired "it has the name Transformers on it but it don't transform?!?!?!!!!" like they've never heard of Blokees or Underoos or the Optimus Prime Oral Care Station...
Things kind of narrowed as our family grew and little luxuries now had to be spread out among multiple children, and by that point the combiner years of G1 were more or less done anyway, so I never really got any of them as a kid.
But then on one occasion an aunt visited, who insisted on...
Happy birthday, and welcome to the Transformers: Age of LordGigaIce (39) thread!
Oof, that exclamation point pulled SOMETHING. I need to turn things down a bit.
The Leader price point gave me a bit of hope that there'd at least be a budget for it, but I guess these days we just aren't going to get ambitious with big wheels like that. Idk if this being Hot Wheels and having to adhere so much to a specific look has anything to do with it, but probably not...
I remain stunned that they weren't able to get retailers interested in that (I think that's what was said, anyway). I mean a Titanus, maybe, especially at the size these are. But the Zord attached to one of their biggest marketing golden geese?
I hadn't even heard of this miraculous Atari comeback. But then I'm neck deep in doomscrolling.
I really appreciate what Goldner did for the brand, but I can't compare what Cocks is doing to that. They're absolutely representatives of the periods in which they were and are at the helm. This...
It's funny to me to even consider the idea of justifying a new TM1 Megatron. We have new takes on combiners who were redone 10-11 years ago and we've gotten re-Bees and re-Ironhides and re-Megatrons in even less time. I think we can welcome a redo of a toy from so long ago it predates the...
