I wonder if they might save SG Galvatron if they make an animated inspired Legacy Megatron at some point - a repaint of a helicopter Megatron with a new head feels like it would work?

Not really but Jazz being used for Knock Out suggests it's not like some impossible thing. And we know some of the SS86 toys were originally going to be Kingdom toys.

Pictures of SS Mirage from the official TF Facebook page Does embedding Facebook posts work here? (edit: No) He looks nice. Nothing like the film, but nice. Or perhaps because of.

Lets hope all those people who complain about early video reviews of toys are correct that they're non-final and it will be fixed! (It won't.)

I like the idea of all of these I think, but every selects toy for more than a year has gone on at least 50% discount at this point (including Zarak) so it will be a hard sell to get me to pay full price for them.

Yeah, at best they'll give him a spanner or the long gun, he isn't going to get that big an accessory.

That looks great. I will defo pick him up. And yes, maybe in another two years we can have a boxy Wheeljack.

I thought that Core Rhinox toy was just the Kingdom one with greebles added, but it's a different size, and they've reworked the leg transformation (in what is a significant improvement IMO given the old one was a fussy pain in the ass).

Even Bay hated them.

Hound is Buzzworthy no? I think the inevitable SS Windcharger might beat him. At least Snarl is still alive when he appears!

Not neccessarily - Hasbro made a quite deliberate decision that it was going to seek a double digit increase in Ebit. They said so in their financial statement. Bigger budgets would certainly mean Hasbro could not use the cover of the economic crisis to try and significantly increase their...

This is broadly true, but fwiw I think this is happening even without formal organisation. Less than half a dozen toys from the past twelve months weren't available at heavy discount in the UK over Christmas - i.e. 30 -60%. That suggests the line isn't moving.

Shrapnel looks perfectly fine. Metalhawk looks... okay? I still think the Pretender approach is pretty incoherent, but this looks like a reasonable interpretation of that character. That said, a painted cockpit on a voyager retool? Ick. Costcutting at it's worst. The gaps at the front of a jet...

If they cut costs on the production of TFs any further at this point you'll just get an email from Pulse telling you to imagine the $48 dollar deluxe you just ordered.

You don't need secret inside sources for shipping in port, Hasbro puts the case assortment numbers on the shipping consignments and those are publicly accessible information. If anyone is bored enough to look it up you can figure this out for all of Hasbro's shipments, it's just laborious to do.

Literally the only significant (i.e. not a happy meal or something) Cheetor toys to do it that I can think of are the Beast Machines toys, and it wasn't exactly beloved at the time. I think there's enough other transformation here that I don't hate it, but I really didn't like when they made...

Hatchette also reprinted Generation 2 in 2020 as part of The Definitive G1 Collection if anyone wanted a more recent copy.

That's because there isn't one. EarthSpark's targeted at younger viewers, and they don't read comics. If whoever gets the license wants to make some EarthSpark content they'd do it as an original graphic novel, not as a comic, because that's what that demographic actually buys.
