Actually, I stand corrected. The last Transformers cartoon series Japan made wasn't Go!, but rather Q-Transformers, which was basically a 26-episode Flash-animated comedy talk show.

They had the chance to make their own Transformers anime for a modern audience without any input it all from Hasbro about a decade ago, and what they chose to make was the very-Japanese-centric Transformers: Go!, which was still bright, colorful, and slightly on the wacky side, even without...

Short answer: No on both accounts. Longer answer: The only new toy news that has been made known in regards to the future of Power Rangers is that Hasbro is giving Playmates a license to make a line of MMPR toys for kids. The fate of everything else in regards to the brand as a whole is...

I feel like had those DVDs come out now, in the post-Aligned era of the brand where we can get faithful toys of Japanese characters like Metalhawk, Lio Convoy, Star Saber, and Deathsaurus, that their subtitles would have been far more faithful in their translation. Since the time they came out...

I feel like the decision to move away from Japanese-led Transformers animation and more towards American-led cartoons was twofold. First, Armada came about as an attempt to not only cash in on the Pokemon craze of the late 90s/early 2000s, but also to ride the growing popularity of kids anime...

You're excluding Miko, right? She was anything but "toned down" in her humor. ;)

"Chestar" is the censored version of the original "Breastar", which was the alternate Japanese name for the Breast Animals, presumably the name that refers to their chestplate modes. The UK Australia DVDs kept the original "Breastar" name, while the U.S. DVDs from Shout! Factory used Hasbro's...

In an interview Jeff Kline did with the TFNation 2021 virtual con, he revealed that the Prime creative team at the time was trying to make a Transformers show that was more like The Sopranos than otherwise. Last month at BotCon, I told Aaron Archer that Kline had said that in that interview...

WatchCartoonOnline has it too.

Looks like I guessed wrong about who the Kryptonian Warrior from the Season 1 finale was. Though, no one could have seen them recasting her voice actress, anyway. Tell me about it! This season has been the most "anime" a Superman cartoon has ever been. Even the music feels like how 90s anime...

Heh, thinking more about it, even if Transformers was big in Japan, it'd still be a comparatively small audience since Japan is the sole territory covered by TakaraTomy while the rest of the world's Transformers audience is all covered by Hasbro.

Well, Cartoon Shockwave was too loyal to Megatron to be anything more than a Yes Man, while Cartoon Ratbat was just another one of Soundwave's pets, so... ;)

The ones that came with HasLab Deathsaurus were labeled "Chest Animals" (though, their original Japanese name still remains as "Breast Animals"). Or do you mean some other companions besides the little beasts that form the Breastforce's chestplates and weaponry?

The name's on the box. And in the Product Descriptions for each toy's online order pages.

Also, Hasbro has stated that their primary source of influence for the Armorizers was not the Rock Lords. That was just one of their influences, but a minor one rather than the main one. The main inspiration was the rock aliens of the planet Daira from an episode of Transformers: The...

The windows would have been the same gold color as the rest of the translucent plastic had they been left unpainted.

That still doesn't have anything to do with Confuzor calling out PrimalxConvoy's juvenile refusal to call them by their proper name of "Armorizers".

That's not what Confuzor's talking about.

I've actually softened up on that trilogy just a bit. Granted, it's still not good, but in light of the live-action movies adding so much edgy grimdark uber-violence to the brand (even towards humans, like DOTM showing Decepticons blasting hundreds of humans into flaming skulls, and AOE turning...

I'd bring up the novels, but... Exiles was... so bad (and kept him a mystery 'til the very end, a mystery no one cared about since the payoff was some rando no one had ever heard of before), while Retribution just got him out of the way early on, to make room for the Quintessons.
