A few TFTM-original characters also got new toys that year in Titans Return: Gnaw, Blurr, Scourge, Hot Rod, Galvatron. And the following year saw the releases of Kup, Arcee, Titan Master Ultra Magnus, and Titan Master Rodimus Prime in the same line. There was also the 30th anniversary release...

At the time, Hasbro wanted to instead celebrate the 30th anniversary of Transformers: The Movie, and probably felt that more fans cared about that than about celebrating the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars. Evidently, based on the large fan backlash over that decision, Hasbro was mistaken. In...

Ah, so they're bringing back the Zenith Carrierzord from Lost Galaxy to be his zord. 😜

It almost looks like they're taking a selfie.

Well, there is the upcoming Legacy Evolution Commander class Armada Optimus. The Costco deco might be the perfect redeco for that mold.

Yes. There was a prequel series of comics based on an earlier draft of the Bumblebee movie that was written to bridge the gap between the WWII scene from TLK and the Bumblebee movie. And then the final version of the movie went and made Bee first arrive on Earth in 1987 instead. There was also...

Any new SG Nova Prime toy would just be a normal Nova Prime toy.

Chris has been on a break from The Basics this month, so in lieu of a new Basics video since December, he did another livestream:

You know what's funny? When I was putting together the big expanded universe timeline for Beast Wars/Beast Machines/Universe as originally written by 3H and Fun Pub, I realized that the Universe War actually ends with Optimus Primal having one last loose end to deal with following Unicron's...

You know, given what we've seen of Airazor and Cheetor thus far, we can probably expect toys of Optimus Primal and Rhinox to also share transformation engineering with their respective Kingdom toys.

So, Zayto is... "gray" now? And Aiyon's gold looks more like tan or peach, now.

On the subject of a different new user, several of these new threads they have created within the last week don't really need to be individual threads, as many of them cover the same basic topic. For some reason it seems like this person feels they have to make a completely new thread every time...

I'm surprised nobody's brought up the possibility of EarthSpark comics yet.

Besides, Generation 2 got a proper conclusion with Furman's "Alignment" novella.

So what you're saying is that the entire premise of Deviations was built on a concept doomed to fail no matter what. ;)

If anything, they could have eased the transition from Optimus to Rodimus a bit. Like, have it be that Hot Rod still attempted to tackle Megatron, but accidentally tripped and wound up jumping in between Optimus and Megatron, taking the shot from Megatron meant for Optimus. Hot Rod would then...

Got a couple more treats from the two Awdry Extravaganzas. Decades ago, Wilbert Awdry gave two history lectures on the lore of the Island of Sodor as featured in the Railway Series. These were originally presented years before the Island of Sodor book was published in 1987, so these two...

Which also had an unfortunate side effect that painted Rodimus in a bad light in those people's memories.

So we've got the original six MMPRs (Green Ranger included), but there are now seven confirmed ranger actors: Billy, Zack, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Kat, and Trini's daughter Minh. So, who's who? The footage we see shows Zack as Black and Billy as Blue, Rocky's gotta be Red and Kat's gotta be Pink...

We can speculate on What-ifs all we want. The fact of the matter is that 1980s Hasbro wanted Optimus Prime killed off above all other characters, because to them he was just a piece of merchandise to be sold for two years and then discarded in the third year, tossed to the wind to make room for...
