For that matter, with Prime's MECH, we have a VENOM analogue all ready to go. You could even build in a lore connection: Zordon (or whoever built the Zords) was originally affiliated with the Quintessons (or maybe even a Quintesson themselves); the Zords are based on the same technology that...

It was all staged, of course. https://bsky.app/profile/notdred.bsky.social/post/3l6xsek23cw2d

It's Grogu piloting a mech suit.

This is the way.

Once again, and until the end of time: SARI!!! For that matter, The Headmaster; Henry Masterson. (Also, No-Brainer would've been a perfect G1-esque name for a new character.)

Come to think of it, we never got a toy for Ser-Ket, did we?

Ennui isn't really boredom, it's more like nihilism or edginess. Or that particular hipstery type of "coolness" that's entirely based on being better than those "gullible sheeple" that actually experience happiness. (So yeah, it makes sense that it's a teenage emotion and isn't present in...

I feel like having a few visible dents would make it more credible as a G2 Autobot.

My condolences Wonko. As you say, though, at least now the recovery (won't say healing, but at least there'll be closure) can begin.

And Luke wasn't leading anything until later, when he and Wedge co-founded Rogue Squadron. He was just another fighter pilot during the Battle of Yavin. Not even a flight leader.

That's the impression I got. I mean, "award" with a bit of shiny metal and a few pictures for the newsfeeds, but then back to the mines. It wouldn't have cost him anything and would have strengthened the goodwill they'd brought him.

Though I do kinda like the idea of Optimus being a quiet, humble bookworm who got thrust into Authority and rose to the occasion. "When a good man goes to war," and all that.

An insightful and topical article (written for non-fans, so forgive the omission of the franchise's long history): https://reactormag.com/transformers-one-is-the-pro-labor-allegory-the-animation-industry-needs-right-now/

I dunno, I think this (hopefully introductory) season did a good job of fleshing out most of the main cast (aside from the two girls, but that's an unfortunate tradition in shonen). The finale in particular was all about Kojiro, and his growth from bodyguard to potentially a general in his own...

Man. The good old days.

That's the caffeine.

The TRU at the Dufferin Mall in Toronto seemed okay a few months ago (the last time I was there). I think the video game section is still there (I don't game, so I just ignore that part of the store). The TF section was pitiful, but that's normal. It's mostly a Babies'R'Us at this point, which...

I love how the progression makes it look like he was walking past, noticed the camera, and then started posing.

I feel like at this point the kids and collectors-aimed toylines are distinct enough that Hasbro could probably get away with leaving them out of the kids' line for a year or two. There'll always be a new G1-with-movable-fingers animation-model-accurate Optimus Prime on shelves; let Elita-1 or...
