Honestly, the big reason I stopped is I had just watched a 5 episode miniseries that culiminated in Cobra Commander being captured and I wanted to see how he escaped, only for the next miniseries to immediately start with him free.

There's a guy at my job who will defend the Star Wars prequels up and down. I mean, hell, let's be honest, that G1 Cartoon is kinda trash in many respects. (Great voice cast though.) I have a lot of nostalgia for it, so I can power through a rewatch, but I tried watching the 80's GI Joe toon...

When I say after it finished, I mean it went straight from like 15699 to 17706 in like a single refresh, which suggests either there was a lot of orders processing or maybe it was retailer purchases (for markets that don't have Haslab)

Ended on a respectable 15699. And then 2000 more got added after shortly after it ended for a total of 17706! https://geekdadlife.com/brian-brinks-haslab-charts/

I'd be willing to bet that the original Star Wars trilogy does quite well still, even if that franchise definitely has some major fatigue.

There was a five year gap between Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts. I don't think it helped much, to be honest.

Funny, Thunderbolts is probably the only superhero film I'm even minorly looking forward to now.

The Ecto-1 hit its funding goal!

We already dumped a bunch of Hitler speeches into space, I think that (space)ship sailed.

That was probably an order of magnitude cheaper than you think it is. I've seen an independent game studio do a similar thing for their first game.

The earliest episode I can remember watching is the Return of Optimus Prime (specifically the fight between Computron and Abominus). I probably caught plenty of other eps on TV, though I have no recollection of them Growing up I had "Fire in the Sky" on an official VHS tape. (Which is funny...

It's been awhile, but IIRC, his quest to buy twitter started because a right-winger troll he (or more specifically, his girlfriend) liked got banned from the platform. I wouldn't shake his statements off so easily.

God I hope you're right. It's bad enough being under Chris Cocks and a bunch of shareholders, I couldn't imagine how shitty it'd be under Musk's sole discretion.

Well this year keeps getting worse, somehow.

How does one distinguish whether or not something is "Fanfic" in this case? Like, the man was paid to write that stuff and it was approved by whatever loosey-goosy approval process Hasbro had at the time, just like everything else.

Prima isn't supposed to turn into anything, so I'm guessing since he's the ur-Prime, they just made him a similar vehicle to Optimus. I imagine we'll find out more with the inevitable behind the scenes.

The funny thing about Atari (or the company that bought the rights and then rebranded to Atari) is that they floundered around with not-great retro consoles and dumb stuff like speaker hats and then at some point they decided to become the defacto retro-gaming house and acquired Digitial Eclipse...

Influencers are getting Two-in-the-Box review copies The Ecto-1 Haslab is still going, Brian Brink put out his projections and his worse case scenerio has things just barely getting funded. It's going to be a nail biter for sure. https://geekdadlife.com/brian-brinks-haslab-charts/

I mean, the article says two games a year over the next two years. It's unlikely those are going to all be big budget AAA games. Like reactivate might be one, but the other three are probably smaller experiences, likely phone games.

It's not hard to figure out what happened. They licensed Transformers out to Paramount and got a series of incredibly lucrative blockbusters that revitalized the franchise, which came at at time where less and less kids were into toys (versus videogames) and the adult collector market was still...
