Latest News and Updates!

Hello Allspark! This has been a long time coming but I've finally removed Wordpress completely from the site. There are several reasons to do this: For starters. nobody ever went to the front page. I can't count the number of times or years I've seen people say (sometimes in a mean way) "There's a front page?" Well now there's not, sort of. All news going forward will be posted in the forums, which is the default landing page for https://www.allspark.com Of course, you can still get to the forums index by just clicking the "Forums" tab at the top. Lots of other reasons about how awful and resource intensive WP is. I've decided I'm not going to archive the bulk of the news we've posted on the front page, but for reference a large portion (but not all) was carried over to the "new" front page if you need to refence anything. But any bookmarks or links to the WP site just redirects to the landing page at allspark.com Also, I wanted to make it so you guys could link and comment DIRECTLY on the news posts. It makes it easier for us to not have to duplicate links everywhere and it makes it easier on you since you already have accounts and post here. I'm sure there will be a few kinks to work out but over the course of our testing in 2024 we've been pretty happy with the results. The days of needlessly complex websites are kind of a thing of the past so the ease of use on reading news on your mobile devices is a plus. We had our roots as a forums community, and with the appalling state of corporate owned social media, suppressing algorithms and an otherwise nanny state where you can't even speak in clinical terms without having accounts nuked - I want to bring forums back to what we do here. That said, if you see news here you like feel free to like and share it on your own social media accounts to bring more awareness to the fact that "YES" forums still exist. Let me know if you have any questions or comments, you can just post them here! I wanted to thank everyone who's stayed for this INSANE 25 years. Nov 11 will mark the 25th year The Allspark has existed in one form or another. Unbelievable. Oh, also, if you subscribe to this forum and click the box for email alerts you'll be notified every single time a new news article is posted.

Trickling in from the corners of the internet is what appears to be our first look at Prima from the upcoming Age of the Primes toyline, under the Generations banner. Sadly, this plucky prime prototype is lacking a head, but it does give us an interesting taste of what's to come for generations following the end of Legacy. Feeling primed about Age of the Primes Prima? Be sure to discuss this in our forum thread! Want to interact with more Transformers fans? Register for an account on our forums today!

It’s no secret that Skybound’s new Energon Universe line of Transformers comics have been a hit. But just how big a hit have they been? Well, according to a report from Bleeding Cool, the recent release of Transformers #13, which delves into the history of the Decepticon Air Commander known to us as Starscream and how he came to become a part of the Decepticons and the war at large, will be receiving its second print run. That’s due to be available on December 11th, with two variant covers by Jason Howard (one Autobot, one Decepticon), for $3.99 USD a pop. So get your orders in now! Meanwhile, the issue that started it all — well, not all, because Void Rivals came out first — but the issue that kicked off the Transformers line, Transformers #1, is back for its tenth reprinting! By the Matrix, that’s a lot of reprints! And a lot of cover variants! Available for the slightly-higher price tag of $4.99 USD each, the prevailing logic at Skybound and Image Comics must have been “Ten reprints? Ten variant covers.” Because that’s how many they’re releasing one week after #13 hits again, on December 18th. Start rolling those nickels now! Bleeding Cool doesn’t have the images, but here are the details for each of the covers they shared: Wow. You could probably make a small quilt from all those covers. It probably wouldn’t be a very good quilt, mind, especially in the middle of December, but you could do it!

Joe comics from Skybound” thread in our forums, and gab to your heart’s content! Not a member? Register now!

Now we know what time is Morphin’ Time. While things have been looking rather grim for fans of teenagers (and some adults) with attitude, particularly since the end of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury and Hasbro seemingly not knowing just what to do with the franchise beyond letting others handle it for them, things haven’t been totally bleak. For instance, the upcoming video game beat ’em up brawler, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind (which seems to take a cue from the 30th anniversary Netflix special Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Once & Always) is looking pretty slick. But when, oh when, is it coming out? Well, fortunately, developer Digital Eclipse has dropped a new trailer that tells us exactly that. Behold the viewing globe — er, YouTube embed! If you’re not able to view it right now (and if you clicked on this, you’ll probably want to for some of the new footage), but still want to know right nowwhen you’ll be holding your belt buckle to the sky while shouting the names of various prehistoric animals… it’s December 10th. Just six weeks away. Just in Morphin’ Time for the holidays! Is that Morphin’ Timely enough for you? …okay, I’ll stop now. If you’d like to discuss this, or just the general state of the once-flourishing franchise, then head over to the “Power Rangers General Discussion Thread” in our forums, and let the good times roll!

From TFW2005 user Adjective, we have a small, blurry look at a new set of figures from TakaraTomy. It appears to be large, fully transformable Optimus Prime and Megatron figures along with a set of six smaller toys that transform between robotic beast / individual robot / combiner limb that attach to the arms or legs of Optimus and Megatron. The limb bots look to be a giraffe, elephant, tyrannosaur, triceratops, wolf, and spinosaur. Want to talk about this new toy line? Be sure to discuss this in our forum thread!

Wake up, babe. New G1 just dropped. Over at everyone’s favorite place to shop for Transformers toys, Walmart, two new yet familiar listings have gone up. Labelled as “Transformers Toys Retro G1 Action Figures”, these two listings show us revamped versions of two fairly recent-ish releases by way of Autobots Gears and Bumblebee. Gears is a slight retool and repaint of his Legacy United version, redesigned to look a little closer to his original toy self, faceplate and all: Unlike the original Generation 1 toy, he still comes with his trusty, iconic… er, “blaster” (remember when each bot’s weapon would have a cool name? Allspark Farms remembers). From the listing: As for Bumblebee, his is based on the Netflix version of the toy that was a remold from the Transformers: War for Cybertron – Earthrise Cliffjumper, and apparently that’s as far as they wished to go with it, because unlike Gears (and his own packaging art), he isn’t sporting a toy-accurate faceplate: But hey, he still turns into a Volkswagen Bug, and still comes with the whole sniper-bazooka armament he inherited from CJ — perfect for missing shots at Megatron! So that’s something. Here’s what the site says about him: Kind of odd that they label the tech specs as “each sold separately” and “subject to availability”. Do they not… you know, simply come with the figure? Just how far have we fallen, here? Anyway, both figures are going for $24.97, with a listed release date of “March 31st, 2025,” which just sounds like some sort of fiscal year placeholder to these ears, but we’ll see. If you’re ready to leave the past of the future behind and look to the future of the past, then head on over to the brand-spanking new and unimaginatively-named (sorry) “Transformers Retro G1 Figures” thread in our forums, and tell us what you think of Hasbro’s latest effort to use nostalgia to part you from your hard-earned Shanix!

Not one of a kind, but one step in the right direction. Transformers as a film series has had a very long, tumultuous history. While many loved the action and scope of the Michael Bay films, it came to ahead with The Last Knight being the lowest grossing and reviewed movie in the franchise. As such, most Transformers fare has struggled to find a new creative direction in live-action. And after so long, we now have a new animated film in theaters now. An origin tale of Optimus Prime and Megatron, where before, they were Orion Pax and D-16, miners from the planet Cybertron. Together with their new allies Bee and Elita, they uncover a great secret about Cybertron's past, and how it leads them down to a familiar path for both characters. Watch this, he's gonna pull a birdie out of his hand For most Transformers fans, this is probably a dream come true. Newcomers can finally see how both Pax and D-16 become their iconic selves. And how Cybertron works as a whole before they come to Earth. A Pre-War Cybertron works as a nice basis for an origin story. But that's the main problem with the film: It's an origin story. Oh, we knew we should have made that left turn at Albuquerque Origin stories usually have a lot of buildup, but not much of a payoff. Many Superhero movies, for example, usually start with an origin story, and take their time to establish their cast, their arcs, and setting up the main conflict past just starting out. Transformers One does fall into these same trappings. There's many concepts that the film introduces (the Quintessons, Starscream, and the rise of the Decepticons etc.), are brashly introduced to only be saved as a later conflict for a sequel. Maybe I just seen it one too many times before. It also doesn't help that the humor in this film is a stock, with repeated improv from B-127. Keegan-Michael Key does his best (even if it just comes to rambling improv), and if you like this type of humor, more power to you. He does mellow in the 2nd half of the film, which helps to show the grave situation our protagonists find themselves in. Though, I can't say he is any more relevant after that point. Parallel Parking is harder than it looks The best parts definitely come from Orion Pax's and D-16's friendship, how it transforms into becoming true enemies. While Orion is mostly a static character that tries to prove his worth throughout the film (kind of reflected by Chris Hemsworth boisterous acting that has been seen numerous times before), D-16 is made the straight man in their antics, as the more law-abiding citizen that trusts the system. Only when he realizes how much the system betrays everything he's ever cared about and known, he becomes radicalized to destroy. Brian Tyree Henry provides a good shift to his character when that midpoint happens, and his change in attitude increases to vengeful extremes. Elita-1 doesn't have much going on, unfortunately, other than to trust Orion near the end, (I guess you can say it's being more than judt protocol and promotions, but it mostly just culminates to her and Orion.) And Steve Buscemi's Starscream is just there. His voice isn't bad (they actually do a small gag with how his voice sounds later in the movie), Screamer just doesn't have much to do other than be in command of the High Guard, and just a means for D-16 to get himself an army at the end. MFW I find out who else used the Walther P38 If anyone is familiar with Sentinel Prime, (for most casual audiences, his appearance in Dark of the Moon where he's played by Mr Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, Leonard Nimoy), they shouldn't be too surprised by his role. His actions set the the current state of Cybertron under his thumb, but when it comes to his fate near the end of the film, it makes a grand moral statement of whether it's right to kill those who oppress us. It does feel a little refreshing to see Optimus be concerned for life, as opposed to the bloodthirsty portrayals in past films, and they show D-16's turn to becoming Megatron, with lots of visual symbolism that children can get easily and be entertained. And the film presents you to not be a cog in the machine. You can be so much more than what society tells you to be, and shouldn't let them take away those options. By the end, though, it feels like we just rushed through to 2 different climaxes, and once more teasing more to come. In hindsight, it's not egregious like other franchise films, but it's annoying to see that happen time and time again. Looks like someone won the Burp contest With having seen Rise of the Beasties last year, and to a certain extent, Bumblebee, it seems Hasbro/Paramount wants to play it safe and conventional for their Transformers films, making them more like Marvel films (as evidenced by the writers, script by Gabriel Ferrari and Andrew Barrer, both of who's notable work is Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Josh Cooley, the director for Toy Story 4). Their creative direction is a little derivative in nature, but it's not without a distinct change in tone once the 2nd half kicks in, and really drives home its story and themes. For all Transformers fans (myself included), it's a good gateway for newcomers to enjoy this film that takes from previous stories and lore for a cohesive new story.
