Turns out Hasbro CAN make decent, cost effective, converting toys when they aren’t compelled by marketing to shove in some compromising action gimmick. :p

Also worth noting is that the listing for the second wave of “A-Level” deluxe figures featured a “Dev Optimus Prime”. With the listings for Wheeljack and Sideswipe, that pretty well confirms we’re getting a new deluxe Optimus Prime (probably more cartoon inspired) next year with TFOne SS...

Silverbolt is no surprise, but Star Convoy is. He’s a definite “wait and see”. I can see them addressing him multiple ways, from simply a “big boi” to some sort of combination gimmick (incorporating a smaller robot combining with his trailer). I wouldn’t be surprised if a “micro Hot Rod”...

Not only that, but the “designers” don’t seem to design anywhere NEAR as much as they used to. Since TF07 and Animated, the various media designs are produced by media artists, who don’t have to concern themselves with issues like “engineering” or “physics”. Since Siege, Generations has...

Since Sony had the biggest kerfuffle as of late with digital purchases: California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed into law new requirements for Digital Storefronts. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/you-think-you-own-your-games-california-law-says-otherwise/1100-6526747/ tldr; Starting next...

You made that leap yourself :p I just reported that the Remasters were "officially revealed" early by Playstation on their store. But there has never been any indication that Soul Reaver would be a Playstation exclusive. Blood Omen is a pseudo exclusive to the PS5, but you can still play the...

While revealed at the Sony State of Play, several games and DLC will come to the Switch: TMNT Shredder's Revenge will get a pair of new playable characters, along with a Sonic 3 movie pack DLC for Sonic X Shadow Generations. Soul Reaver Remastered will be released in December (From Aspyr, that...

Some updates from the State of Play: Astro Bot is getting free DLC with 10 new bots and some challenge stages, with more hinted to come. Several PSVR2 titles, including Metro Awakening and a novel claymation inspired game (cross compatible?) called "The Midnight Walk" Most of what was shown...

While not explicitly elaborated on in the film, such a change would likely require a LOT of energy. I think it's possible that part of the reason (besides the subservient angle) for T-Cog removal might be simply to harvest the latent Energon. The resulting Cybertronian might, therefore, also...

Well, I DID call it, just a couple weeks early: https://www.ign.com/articles/legacy-of-kain-soul-reaver-1-2-remastered-leaked-via-playstation-store-ahead-of-state-of-play-broadcast Sony dun goofed and posted the Remaster collection on the store this morning before the Direct this evening...

From a wiki dive I did a while back, it seems like the concept DID evolve from the “villains masquerading as heroes” to “Villain reform group” to a pseudo Suicide Squad concept. And yeah, this feels like a more modern interpretation of the group.

In real terms, Squad Automatic Weapon. (Hasbro calls it Semi-Automatic Weapon, possibly for legal reasons) It’s basically a classification of weapon used for suppression and high rate of fire. It is the modern equivalent to the old “Machine Gunner” soldier function. Starting in the late 80s...

I’m, frankly, surprised by both the inclusion of the character And the decision to get a “name actor” to voice him. Starscream’s role is as minor as Airrachnid’s, and not nearly as plot central. I kind of wonder if the decision for Buscemi wasn’t a “stake claim” on his involvement in a sequel...

Hasbro has YEARS of Studio Series fodder with this film, between remixing SS BBM Soundwave and Shockwave, to the endless recolors of Starscream (and a conehead retool), to all the Autobots who got ”Cogged” at the end (I want a new Jazz!)

I will say that I couldn’t NOT roll my eyes at Orion dying, AGAIN, and get “reborn” as Optimus Prime. But that’s probably a me, as a long time fan, issue than for most audiences. But, damn, if I’m not tired of Jesus allegory with Prime. But in the normal thread, I detailed some of my...

Given prior, similar, “expand from the film” follow up cartoons? The inevitability is that the show would quickly tread into their own path, especially once the film starts to see sequel(s) Could we see a “Cybertron” series INSPIRED by this film? Sure. But even in that case, you’d likely see...

I think I finally grasped what threw me “off” on my view of the film: It really should have been two films, or at least much of the last quarter of the film should have been spun out into a separate feature. I know why they didn't, and I get the necessity of ending the film with Optimus vs...

Someone call the Doom Slayer!

I saw it…and I REALLY liked it. Loved the art direction, loved the character design work (it felt to me like a fusion of cartoon and comic blended through CGI, especially the faces), I was ASTONISHED at the quality of the voice work. Especially from Scarlett Johansson, who typically offers...

That was the original point of price points like Legends and Core: Offer major characters at affordable prices. The first two waves of Legends (composed of Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream) basically shipped for a YEAR before Hasbro started introducing other characters. And I still...
