Guzzle looks better than I expected. I really do not vibe with the concept of the new line at all. If Fort Max and Scorpy work as the Marvel comics versions I'll pick them up, and Thunderwing will be good. If the new characters are good I'll consider them, but I didn't get what people liked...

I really quite like that Megatron. It's nice to have something different in a kind of "what if" way for Megatron, and while it's obviously going to get repainted into G2 colours, I always wished they'd kept visual continuity with the original design anyway, colour wise. Kinda wish he wasn't MP...

Man, that guy who used to ask about Headmaster Arcee at every convention panel must be going wild. It was such a holy grail concept for so long I might have to look at getting it. It's kinda neat.

Personally? I'd have tried to do something with Rodimus in his quarters after the events of the movie, somewhat crushed by his self doubt and asking Optimus for advice. Optimus may have recounted some of his early experiences fighting Megatron, but reiterated that he wasn't the "Optimus Prime"...

It is. This is not supposition on my part, sorry to be all "he tell me" about it. That's maybe why it makes no sense that it's obviously a dream sequence about becoming one with the allspark until the end, when it isn't presumably because Hasbro decided they wanted some set-up.

I didn't think it was a very good transfer in general, which is strange as it was just supposed to be the 4K print, but it did look soft in places and there were even some new encoding or telecine artifacts at the side of the frame during the scene where Blaster gets the message from Moonbase 1...

https://screenrant.com/transformers-movie-optimus-prime-awakening-peter-cullen-final-performance/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a96f6bfc4e83b0001a240ab So the new footage is a 12 minute short called Optimus Prime: Awakening, with Peter Cullen's final performance, joined with Welker playing...

We don't really have a separate thread for this, but I picked up the Powerplex graphic novella from the Battersea Transformers store yesterday. Just for anyone unaware of the background, initially this was a Simon Furman penned story intended to be published in six oversized poster/comic book...

It's the art from the cover of the soundtrack rerelease by Matt Ferguson. I really like it fwiw.

This is very good, and speaks for many of us I think.

I'm incredibly sad to hear this. I wrote a bit a while ago about how important Prime was to me growing up, and how that noble, selfless nature he had with leadership and empathy was incredibly inspiring. Not all of that came from the show, but it always came with Cullen's voice performance in...

Completely agreed. The UK poster art is also good, but given it's mostly focused on the Prime/Megatron fight I don't think it reflects the film as well.

Tbh TF:TM almost notably has never really had great cover artwork. The 4K steelbook perhaps the one exception.

... I mean there was a reason I said the chances of it happening was zero.

And Sunstreaker and Hound. Sunstreaker was part of Blaster's group back on Earth who fought a guerrilla campaign on Earth against the remaining Sweeps in the early drafts, so I would work on the headcannon something like that happened and was just cut for pacing reasons personally (obviously...

They really ripped UK/EU customers off with this box, even by Hasbro standards.

The rules for what is in which line have always been non-sensical, they only exist to get retailers to give an additional few shelf spots when they're not paying attention.

And yet I still bought both of them for 50% of their RRP.

Does anyone buy Crossovers at full price any more? They've pretty much all gone on 50%+ discount. Shame about the horrid painted window here, it looks okay otherwise.

I quite like that metallic flake effect. I'd prefer it if it were used on silver and we never had to see that mud grey that Hasbro love so much ever again though.
