I'm warming to that color scheme on Bludgeon, but if I can only have one (which is likely) I may go with the single release one. Idk though. Great group shots!

Honestly having it come out in 2024 at all is kind of impressive since it was announced (with a cast and release date) only toward the end of April last year.

Hell. Someone else at Hasbro should have said no. But definitely the studio, who should know about this sort of thing, should have been as far as it got. Ffs it's just not getting through. There's a million other things they could release or announce or whatever on any of those anniversary...

Yeah, I mean we have decades and decades of precedent identifying ideal release windows for these things. It doesn't make sense to buck that trend, especially now when what studios want is as sure a thing as they can get, for one sentimentally relevant date or another that won't move the needle...

I think they all saw how wild people went for a robot that turned into a Walmart exclusive rectangle that came with other rectangles, and decided to go for broke with a giant cube. That, or CoffeeHorse finally got that blackmail material on the Transformers team he was looking for. Either...

Well, great job, buddy, you got it your way and met a totally arbitrary anniversary date. Tell the board how important that is when they ask why this movie didn't make the millions it could have.

Well, great, congratulations, he's accurate. Do you see how that's not relevant at all to anything I just said?

Now I'm REALLY thinking about selling my Deathsaurus. "Stupid huge" in every sense of the term. It's a very cool design and I love that they threw everything into it, but it's pointless to display among anything else. Ffs please tell me they don't plan on making Titan class Star Convoy this...

Sail?

Oh, Nonnef is amazing. Definitely one of the things I need that money for -- to arm my coneheads, give my van guys better feet, etc. On the subject of Nonnef, the shop got hit pretty hard by the hurricane, iirc (shop's offline until further notice). I hope everyone's okay.

Let's start with Paddles. And I'd love unlimited genie wishes, but first things I need to wish for are cash and storage/display space. THEN we make with all the dino fun.

As ready as I am for some more innovation in Transformers of late (and as much as I've not really needed ginormous Dinobots), I have to admit that just giving the audience what they want has paid off handsomely in this case. After being used to a fairly tight in-line scale that skews small...

Lightyear was interesting and enjoyable, but ultimately just okay. It did have some striking emotional moments (plots involving missing out on people's lives because of getting trapped/stuck in one thing speak to me). But the bottle episode nature of the plot was a bit disappointing, as a big...

Yes, exactly. We finally have a generation that is mainstreaming appreciation of "good dad" energy as part of pushing back against toxic masculinity, and a generation that grew up with Optimus Prime as a surrogate dad. Time to give them all an Optimus they can be proud of. Larry's words have...

Idk about newer creatives not understanding Furman's intent per se, as it seems more likely they're just following the newer Aligned-onward plan for these characters (which may have done the misunderstanding, or just some disregarding).

Mandrake? Does he include a little Grogu, so he can be accompanied by a minorrrrrr

Yeah, the Stege one with a headswap would be a good quick thing. Like, go ahead and add it to the comic book capsule thing. Along with a War Within Op and Megs, and a damn Sunstorm already.

Sorry for being wildly off topic, but MAN I miss Rise of the TMNT. That really turned into something so, so different from what it felt like when it was announced, and carved out a hilarious spot of its own in franchise history. I'm thrilled that it didn't bother actually following in the...

That one wacky trailer pushed the wrong buttons, and the lack of other trailers highlighting different tonal and conceptual aspects of the movie (granted, it's also fairly short so they may have just not had as much they could give away) didn't help. But I'll never understand the late...

Was "The Fallen" being the first Decepticon in that benighted movie script (or whatever it had), or in Furman's tie-in fiction? Anyway, I tend to avoid crossovers with the 13 and Guiding Hand, as I like having multiple pantheons and belief systems going. The most I've done is change Amalgamous...
