I think it's highly unlikely Hasbro will be making any D&D announcements in the near future.

I think from a purely commercial point of view the main thing that hasn't been tried is a book explicitly in the original cartoon continuity set in the gaps, which tries to expand it a bit. And I could see retailers being interested in that book for nostalgia sales to a slightly wider audience...

Again, Furman wrote an ending for G2, it was just for a convention exclusive prose book and is not "official" but it exists. And even if IDW decided the book needed to be more about the G1 US comic for sales purposes, Furman could have reused most of the ideas from Alignment if he'd wanted to...

Yup. And I can't really see anyone wanting to make a new comic adaptation of that to be honest.

It was presumably cancelled because it required a bunch of investment and marketing to be this big event book, and IDW don't really have the money to do that for a book they weren't even going to be able to sell trades of as they were losing the license. IDW are kind of in a... desperate state...

I guess that's not impossible, but if you are aiming at a general "I remember that cartoon from when I was a kid" audience then being set after Rebirth leaves you with many key franchise characters that have instant recognition to the general public as dead, and is not set on a relatable real...

Motormaster might just be going to discount chains at this point. He is in the UK (Game are also carrying him at £45, which is less than half is RRP).

Put it this way, the publisher likely has to put up more money than IDW did, so they're going to have to sell a lot more books, to the non-core TF fandom. The only pitches for that I think might even have a chance is a fairly faithful but talent lead G1 on Earth reboot, or a in-continuity set...

Yeah, if the next license holder fancied adapting this into a mini series I'd definitely buy it, it would be a neat What If.

FWIW Game in the UK have Galaxy Shuttle avaikable for pre-order at less than half price, and have been getting in a lot of discount TF product recently (Creatures Collide went up this morning for £14.99!) So we might be about to see a glut of Galaxy Shuttles hitting discount retailers.

I don't think there's any chance of Hasbro starting their own print publisher. Making money as a print publisher is *hard* and Hasbro is running away from the E-One acquisition when E-One was a profitable company staffed by people who knew what they were doing and had long established sales...

Official Hasbro ones you mean? No, we've not had official Hasbro images of Animated Prowl, Crosscut or Junkion 2 yet. There's stacks of stuff we have listings for but have no images at all of yet.

Could be. Though I'd say the toy most likely to be in that four pack is Barrage, and Fractyl might be a bit too close colours wise to him.

We don't know how it sold digitally. It sold fine in print, not great, not terrible for a one off. If it had sold really well IDW would have done some more tbh. Reception was generally... not very good from what I remember.

I still would have hoped for an "Aqua Mission Bumblebee" that is definitely not Glyph, no sir. But that would probably rule out Lazorbeak from Terrorsaur for too much blue? Then I assume Barrage from the forthcoming Legacy Bombshell, and one of G2 Wildrider, toy head Tarantulas or Snare (from...

Well there's another Buzzworthy four pack we don't know the contents of.

FWIW it's not either of these, IDW and distributors had a hard stop on ordering Transformers trades on the 31st Dec and anything remaining will have been pulped by now, and the signing of a deal is of sufficient market import that Hasbro (and the publisher if they're traded) will have to...

I am quite surprised that nobody was announced before IDW lost theirs, just for the sake of having someone to sell the old books if nothing else. But given that didn't happen all bets are off, we might not know for a while.

The core class doesn't have the parts count to really carry a realistic motorbike off tbh.

The "so mad" of this involves a couple of sentences on an internet message board. It's not like anyone is protesting outside Hasbro headquarters. It is unlikely that even the richest of us have spent more time complaining about this than Hasbro expects us to work at a job to earn sufficient...
