Got to get tough, yo Joe! Especially since this new video game features as much (or more) brawling as it does red and blue lasers. As part of the IGN Fan Fest 2024 gaming event, a new trailer dropped for the upcoming belt-scrolling beat ’em up that looks poised to take advantage of the popularity of other more recent releases in the genre, such as Streets of Rage 4 and, perhaps more relevantly, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Originally announced with a teaser trailer back in August, this latest video gives us a better look at what to expect from this retro-styled game based on the original A Real American Hero cartoon: There are classic G.I. Joe and Cobra friends and foes, vehicles, giant Cobra-themed robots, and yes, you did just see Duke punch a freaking H.I.S.S. Tank! The game’s Steam listing offers the following details: Our International Heroes will be there in the second quarter of 2024 when G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra comes to Nintendo Switch and Steam for the PC, courtesy of developer Maple Powered Games (how ironic) and publisher Freedom Games (how apt). And if you’d like to talk about this, or just yell to the sky “Yo, Joe!“, then head over to the “G.I. Joe thread” in our forums. Not a member? Register now!

In what seemed like a rather calm week where nothing of note was happenning, all of the sudden the wildest of things decided to happen and one of the most unexpected was the shadow drop of Core-class Beast Machines Cheetor a figure that up until pretty much this morning some of us, thought cancelled not only, did it seemingly spawn into existence, release in Colombia of all places and on the city where yours truly just so happens to live to bring us this review/reveal, now for a bit of context Core-class Cheetor originally leaked as part of Wave 2 with the rest of the April assortment, when other leaks where formally revealed or at least dropped, seemingly Core-class Cheetor here along with a Dinobot and a Sureshot we haven’t seen as of the time of writing of this review suddenly were removed from the codes of the case assortment leading many to think they were cancelled and probably replaced, this was the general belief until this morning when suddenly a user on Facebook posted a picture of this find on the Pepe Ganga on C.C. Atlantis on Bogotá D.C. Colombia, it was at this time that I set up to go, pick one up for myself and bring you this review, surprisingly 3 of them remained by the time I got there and even have Energon Megatron who himself had also been hard to find on this side of the puddle, so boot up that Phat Planet - Leftfield because this is Legacy United Core-class Cheetor. Retailing for $79’900 COP which roughly translates to ~$20 USD give or take whic is the standard pricing for core-classes in Colombia; Interestingly, the figure makes no mention of the "[Blank] Universe" naming convention that has been handling for the last couple of years and just calls him "Cheetor" fair and square, weird, the figure comes in the open box we’ve all come to love or love to hate giving a good insigh—just what are those eyes? Cheetor where have you been? What have you seen? Anyways, the figure stands at roughly 8cm tall or 9.5 if you count the shoulder pads, won’t blame ya and out of the package comes with his swords plugged together it what seems to be a remnant of evo-fusion, just now unnamed, the both plug via a 3mm system both unto themselves and unto the hands.

If you’re already all caught up on the Transformers HasLab: Legacy Robots In Disguise 2001 Omega Prime reveal and behind-the-scenes, then maybe you’re ready for a little update? Posted to their official YouTube channel today, the folks in the lab are now ready to reveal to us the painted prototypes. “This exclusive look showcases the remarkable detailing and vibrant design that your backing has made possible,” the description tells us. “Stay tuned for more updates and the official reveal of the Omega Prime product photography to come soon!” Amusingly enough, while they show off Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Bluebolts in various modes and comparisons, what they don’t show is the combined form that this whole shebang is named after. Go figure. Anyway, if you’re somewhere that watching video isn’t ideal, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few screencaps of the comparisons and highlights: And if you’d like to talk about this, or how the crowdfunding has already ensured that this figure will be made (with the Matrix Blade stretch goal met, no less!), then head over to the “40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime” thread in our forums, where eyes are peeled to see if we can make it to the next goal: unlocking the Global Space Bridge display/flight stands!

If you’ve been around the fandom for a hot minute or two, you might remember the Heroes of Cybertron figure line from the early aughts. You know, these guys: Image via TFWiki, in case the watermark didn’t tip you off. Well, some stirrings in the community lately have unearthed some details from long ago — the extreme late ’90s! — that reveal the line might have been a little different from what we know. Over in our forums, NovaSaber unearthed an old Hasbro interview from the Philadelphia International ToyExpo ’99, which talked about the then-upcoming line, as well as other things, such as the yet-to-be-revealed Beast Machines and Animorphs lines. Unfortunately, the Internet Archive version of the interview, which was originally hosted on an AOL website, was no longer displaying the images (don’t you just hate that?). However, thanks to some folks from the TFWiki Discord and Sabrblade bringing it to us here, it would seem that the interview was archived to another website, which was then archived on the Internet Archive, with pics intact! With the interest of preserving these for future generations of fans, check ’em out: According to the interview, “If these were to be made they wouldn’t transform at all. They would be more along the lines of the Spawn line but with greater articulation and weapons.” Heroes of Cybertron wouldn’t see life in the west until 2002, and even then, they were effectively domesticated imports of Takara’s Super Collection Figure: Transformers line. As a result, it’s hard to say if there was any sort of collaboration involved in bringing these to life, or if Hasbro simply slapped an old label for a concept they had lying around onto a product Takara made that was close enough to the original concept. The toy business, am I right? In another part of the interview, the unnamed Hasbro representative seemed almost prescient when they said “I would love to make a scale model Devastator [about 2 foot high. (he made a hand gesture for the size)] I think it would make a great exclusive.” 16 years later, though he wasn’t exclusive and came in six inches shy of the mark, we nevertheless did get a Titan Class Devastator. If you’d like to read the full interview for yourself, direct your browser over to this link. And if you’d like to talk about this, or share any other ancient Transformers online ephemera, then head over to the “A trip down memory lane TF websites from the past” thread in our forums!
