Slipstream is fine. I wish they'd make the head more angular and retool the wings to better differentiate from Windblade. But here's Quake, a retool from Skullgrin. Both Targetmasters are included, and I dare say that Quake is a DRAMATIC improvement over Skullgrin's lackluster vehicle mode...

Welp, here we are. This past weekend was “Summer Gamefest” a pseudo-replacement for E3 in terms of the new gaming reveals. And Transformers Reactivate was a no-show. While there is still, technically, SDCC and Gamescom for a potential reveal/update…its absence at the the “start” of convention...

Hasbro DID explicitly state that the color was the Pantone provided BY THE STUDIO. I recall from the stream, it was pretty obvious the Transformers guys knew it looked bad, and subtlety called out the studio for the end result. I’m almost inclined to think it’s the result of someone giving...

Jean Grey doesn’t need those Phoenix flames to land a sick burn! https://marvelousnews.com/299-35284

A perfect summation of the current state of mass retail toy collecting.

The newest Hasbro Retro Arcade title has been revealed at the Summer Gamefest: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind. Designed with a time travel story to let you replay all those classic fights against season 1 monsters. Developed by Digital Eclipse, the game is due later this year...

Watching the Guerrilla Collective stream, focusing on indie games, I've seen a few amusing/interesting things. Keep in mind this is, by NO means, everything shown during the presentation: New Yooka Laylee, poking fun at their lackluster 2017 entry, even. Nightdive is putting out Killing Time...

Democrat bashing and baseless fear mongering?

An interesting note on the alt mode discrepancy… Retail listing leaks from next year indicate a TF One Starscream as a deluxe figure, while Sentinel Prime is listed as a VOYAGER. Both figures are sharing a LOT of design elements, so it might be a situation where Sentinel was caught up in...

Interesting to see BMac among the Joe crew. Can't help but wonder if this is a mix of factors like an increase in his workload after the layoffs or maybe Corporate and Paramount are REALLY serious about getting the crossover movie going. Enough to bring Transformers marketing people over to...

Additional stock images from Prime Changers wave 2 (Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime): https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/06/03/transformers-one-prime-changers-bumbleebee-sentinel-prime-new-stock-images-512809 Still not clear as to the point of the removable chest panel, but the new images do show...

Mark my words, Heatwave will be a retool of either Inferno or Bulkhead.

Kind of a rambling thought train but… It really seems like TF One is the kind of media Hasbro’s marketing department WANTS for its mainstream/kid-centric product lines. Since the end of RiD15, the action figure market has continued to consolidate to fewer characters into an increasing array of...

Takara/Tomy posted some nice shots of the some of the first 1 Step Cog Changers and Prime Changer figures. https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/05/30/takara-tomy-transformers-one-mainline-deluxe-optimus-prime-alpha-trion-and-cog-power-change-bumblebee-wheeljack-stock-images-512697 I still think the...

Yeah, it wasn't until the recent years with the collector lines that we've started to get a Wolverine figure capable of both masked and unmasked, claws in or out in the same figure. Sure, it was a bit janky (though, coming from Toy Biz's second year with Marvel might have been a factor), but...

I frickin’ HATE people like Screen Culture. I hate that their cobbled together fanart is SEO optimized clickbait to get as high or higher rankings than official sources. At least in the old days, they put in the effort of pulling together footage from other films, but with AI? Now they can...

I wouldn’t start fussing until the actual launch. I’ve yet to see a ”official source” for what stations will or won’t carry the channel. But a safe assumption is that if you are getting channels in the MeTV family (which include bounce, StartTV, Catchy Comedy, H&I, or Movies!), there is a good...

I'm optimistic. Is it going to be a big franchise revival? Probably not. But Fede Álvarez isn't a hack, and his thriller/horror credentials are about the best you could hope for this franchise. Being an "interquel" helps sidestep issues of continuity, though it sounds to have a LOT of...

MeTV Toons has posted their initial scheduling block of shows. This is the INITIAL setup, so expect changes to occur. To me, they are a little heavy on Rock and Bullwinkle, perhaps to justify the license cost? https://www.facebook.com/metvtoons Saturdays have the most "recent stuff" with...
