Latest News and Updates!

There’s a new Transformers game on the horizon, and it’s definitely putting an emphasis on both the transforming and the rolling out. While the fate of Transformers: Reactivated remains unknown, and the state of Hasbro’s initiative to get the now Microsoft-owned Activision Blizzard back catalog of Transformers titles re-released is anyone’s guess, Outright Games announced today a new entrant in the digital arena of battles between Autobots and Decepticons. Developed by 3DClouds, Transformers: Galactic Trials is not about the Cybertronian race being represented in a galactic court to stand trial for all the devastation their war has brought to countless planets (but if someone wants to create an Ace Attorneyspoof fan game that does that, there’s your prompt), but rather, it’s a game that mixes racing and “rogue-lite” combat. As the story goes, the evil Nemesis Prime has stolen the Prime Relics, leading to both Autobot and Decepticon alike to set out on an adventure to recover the artifacts and take control of the “incredible powers” they can grant. Among those vying for the prize are, of course, mainstays such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Soundwave. Backing them up — or perhaps in it for their own reasons — are Autobots Arcee, Wheeljack, Elita-1, and Decepticons Flamewar, Shockwave, and Nightbird. And it looks like they’re all sporting their “Evergreen” designs. They will race across “battle-race circuits” to collect the relics and beat their opponents as they race arcade-style in vehicle form and engage in combat in robot mode, all in an effort to defeat their enemies and make it to the finish line. Hmm, think Velocitron will play a part in this? Because this sounds like exactly the kind of game that planet was made for. As players progress and collect relics, they’ll be able to level up their skills and unlock new “iconic” playable characters and skins. Hopefully that means there are more characters than we’ve seen already, and not just that half the ones named above are locked away. After all, who wouldn’t want Hot Rod and Blurr to join Bumblebee on the track? There are two game modes: Galactic Trials and Arcade. The former is the single-player mode where you’re out to collect relics, while the latter is where you can race locally with a friend in 2-player mode, create your own custom race tracks, characters, and weapons, or enter “location-based specialized tournaments.” Not quite sure what that means; is it based around a specific in-game location? Or do I have to hope they come to Toronto in order to participate? Outright Games has formed a track record of publishing Transformers games, which includes Transformers: Battlegrounds and Transformers: Earthspark – Expedition, among other licensed titles. The developer, 3DClouds, doesn’t have quite the same track record with the license, but we’ll see how they do when the Matrix of Gamership is passed to them when they release Transformers: Galactic Trials on October 11th, 2024, on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

In a move that surprised absolutely everyone, the Transformers Activision games have been relisted on digital gaming stores like Steam on PC and the Microsoft Store on Xbox. This comes hot of the heels of the recently teased Overwatch 2 collaboration, indicating that this could be a new era between Hasbro and Activision. Who knows what other surprises may come as a result of this, but the future might look bright when it comes to Transformers and gaming. Note: The prices are shown on COP. Interestingly, the games do not seem to be currently showing up on the PlayStation store, this all leads us to believe it could be a result of the recent Activision Blizzard buyout by Microsoft, the games seem to be the own native version on Xbox as they are not marked as “Backwards compatible” but in the same menu as other regular Xbox games, funnily enough War for Cybertron in particular shows up on Steam but it’s missing on Xbox. Will you game to these certified gaming classics or are you gonna crank out of this discovery? Join the discussion in our Transformers forum, our Discord Server, our twitter, or our Facebook group!

Just when we thought this whole thing was over, we find out… it never ends. But maybe this will be close enough for a while? As reported previously, Hasbro Pulse magnanimously brought the four original Transformers episodes they removed from their YouTube channel back, around a month after their short-lived 40th anniversary theatrical run was completed. There was hope that when they brought back the first episode, which saw a table reading redub as part of the theatrical event, that said table reading would be a part of it. Alas, it was not to be. That is, until now! Or rather, until soon! About a week from when this post goes live, anyway. Here, have a trailer: If you’re game to check it out when it goes live and participate in the chatroom fun, then you’ll want to go here at the time of the event. In the meantime (or after it goes live, your choice), if you’d like to talk to others about the best makeover this episode has had since Generation 2, then head over to the “G1 Episodes Available on YouTube!

Ever since Power Rangers Cosmic Fury seemingly brought the 30-year running live action television series to a close, possibly in light of a new reboot with Netflix, things have been… quiet. Too quiet. Quiet enough to make moves like Hasbro offloading the Power Rangers toy license to rival Playmates instill worry in the Ranger Nation. Well, it would seem that there has been a reason for that quiet, according to a report from TVLine. According to them, the Power Rangers/Netflix deal to develop a new series is donezo. The project, which had been in development for more than two years, is no longer moving forward. Instead, Hasbro Entertainment is looking to explore “a new creative direction for the series” with a new partner. The as-yet unnamed series that had been in the works prior had Daisy & the Six co-executive producer and veteran Supernatural story editor Jenny Klein acting as its showrunner. They are said to have been working in collaboration with Jonathan Entwistle, co-creator of Netflix’s I Am Not Okay With This and The End Of The F***ing World, who has been overseeing the franchise’s television and motion picture prospects. Allspark forum member Steevy Maximus weighs in with their thoughts on the matter: “THAT’s probably why Hasbro gave Playmates a license to make toys. Their big media plans fizzled and they’re passing the franchise off for cheap license dollars until… they do something?” “It’s not entirely unprecedented,” Steevy continues. “Mattel kicked Masters of the Universe to Super7 for about [four] years until Mattel started their renewed initiatives in 2020. We could be looking at a similar situation with Power Rangers, get Hasbro some easy license dollars until they figured out what they want to do with Power Rangers. Be it a continued effort at an American initiative or go back to converting Super Sentai.” For more details, be sure to check out the full TVLine article, brought to us by new Allspark user Ookalf.

What a roller coaster the past few months have been. But at long last, we appear to be nearing the end of this saga. It all began back in March, when some eagle-eyed fans noticed that the first four episodes had been removed from (well, set to “Private”) the official Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel. What could this mean? Was this going to be the beginning of more takedowns of archived Transformers episodes, or even episodes from other Hasbro properties? We reached out to Hasbro themselves to see if they could provide an answer. That went about as well as you’d expect. Then in April, it was revealed that the same four episodes that had been removed would be shown in cinemas! Well, some cinemas. Depending on how lucky you were. And for three non-consecutive days in May, no less! When the time finally came, fans ventured forth to take in this new experience, and… well, it was an experience. At the very least, the redubbed first episode went over well. Well enough to leave some wondering why they didn’t just redo the other two parts of “More Than Meets The Eye,” if not all four episodes being shown. Then, just as quickly as it came — well, quicker, really — it was gone. Over. Finished. Yes, I’m invoking Furmanisms when talking about the cartoon, and you can’t — won’t — stop me. As I was saying, the 40th anniversary experience came and went, and the episodes that Hasbro opted to remove from YouTube remained gone from the platform. But now, hope shines anew! Our heroes at Hasbro Pulse put out this official announcement, stating that yes, True Believers, it’s really happening: Hasbro Pulse is restoring the episodes they removed from their YouTube channel for three and a half months backto the YouTube channel from which they were originally removed! It all happens on Friday, June 14th at 12pm EST, and you can be a part of it! “But,” we know you’re asking, “will the newly redubbed live voice reading version of the first episode be included this time?” We don’t know! They haven’t really said here one way or the other. If you’re ready to give Hasbro Pulse the heroes’ welcome they so richly deserve, then head on over to the “G1 Episodes in Select Theaters in May” thread (because why not? It’s close enough) in our forums to plan the ticker-tape parade in their honor. (I get to drive the float.) Not a member? Register now!

With the 2024 iteration of Summer Game Fest happening over the last several days, there’s been a little bit of news and a rumor surrounding the video game versions of some of our favorite Hasbro properties. Starting things off with a bang — or more like a clap of thunder — is the announcement of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, a retro-styled beat ’em up very much in the vein of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, which is apparently the style of this time: The plot is a touch on the confusing side: Did you happen to watch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always? If so, then this is apparently if Robo-Rita’s plan worked, as she goes to the past to team up with her non-robotic self to vanquish the Rangers through time travel tomfoolery. According to the official website, it’s “all-new adventure with an original storyline that both respects and remixes Power Rangers lore with scenarios and gameplay that will be both familiar and new to MMPR fans. Players will brawl, blast, fight, and drive through a constantly shifting mix of classic game genres and fan-favorite moments from the series. Here’s the details from the Steam page (where you can wish list it now): The game is coming “before the end of 2024” to PC and “multiple consoles,” though just which consoles will strike Morphin Time has yet to be revealed. Probably Xbox One/Series X|S, PlayStation 4/5, and Nintendo Switch, but hey, it doesn’t always work out that way. We’ll see in due time. Next up, we have a new trailer for G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra: There isn’t really much more to say about this one that hasn’t already been said in our previous two articles, at least that I’ve been able to find, though there is a demo available now on Steam. Finally, we have a rumor that’s sure to disappoint. Or excite. It really depends on your feelings towards Transformers: Reactivate, a 1-4 player action game which has, to be quite frank, had a rather quiet and seemingly disjointed development. And toys that have been released well before we got to see much of anything resembling in-game footage. Dipping back into the tag for the game, the last big news was that it would be a no-show at The Game Awards last December, with most previous stories being about the aforementioned figure releases, as well as the announce trailer from the prior Game Awards. It’s that last one that’s raising a few eyebrows, as people have been noticing that the day before Summer Game Fest, the official social media accounts have taken to removing tweets and videos of the announcement trailer, save for one YouTube Short: The trailer still remains on YouTube, but is now unlisted (though their Twitter missed a link, as it so happens). It could be nothing, but between this and the project’s “tumultuous” seven-year development cycle, some fans are worried that work on the game might have been restarted, or worse, cancelled. In a video from Toy Reel (via Seibertron.com) which premiered on May 23rd, a Hasbro Australia representative stated “It is highly anticipated and I know that there’s a lot coming out from the the fans [who] are waiting for this to come out and be released, but hopefully in 2025 we’ll have something more to share.” However, as unfortunate as it is, things can really turn on a dime in this industry. Hopefully, whatever is going on isn’t as bad as any of that, though. Wanna talk about any of this with your fellow fans? Well then, have we got some threads for you in our forums!
