Keep in mind we don't even know if that's properly transformed or is missing pieces besides the head.

Hmmm... I thought I might be on to something but I think I'm off.

Well, keep in mind I only said it was a cute idea; I haven't read it nor am I in the Botcon ecosystem so I have nothing to be disappointed at there.

Fair enough. EDIT: Also that's a very cute idea for a comic.

Micron is actually a normal word, so it's much harder to trademark. -bot is too generic, but -con is pretty well in Transformers wheelhouse, so I see why they went with it. Micron is absolutely so much better, though. My head canon is that "mini-con" is short for "miniature converter" as the...

Honestly, there's a good chance Hasbro's lawyers never saw the video and the people making it (very good chance being outside contractors) didn't know that Hasbro didn't have the rights to this one transformers series. Yeah, but that just means you can't make a film or tv show called Micky...

I would imagine Hasbro absolutely has the US copyright on Sky-Byte's likeness, which is different from the copyright of RiD. Ther's actually a couple of animated superman movies that are in the public domain despite Superman still being owned by DC/Warner Bros.

Night Dive Studios (who are the kinds of the classic FPS remaster) was looking at doing NOLF, and version of that game made to run on modern systems would be great. Sadly that ain't gonna happen. At least not until Disney buys Warner Bros and merges with Microsoft.

Little off topic, but there's a beloved videogame called No One Lives Forever. (It's a very funny first person spy game in the style of Bond or Austin Powers) It was made by Monolith Productions (currently owned by Warner Bros), published by Fox Interactive (Owned by 20th fox, Sold to Vivendi...

But also, I think we missed out on a cult classic terrible movie with that other Sonic.

it's funny how people are so interested in Sector 7 given the films dropped them before the first movie even hit the credits.

Oh, Hasbro likely makes sure anything that pops up the their media now is theirs. The late 70's, early 80's were a different era for the kind of thing.

It depends on what the contract is and each contract is different. I don't know about any of the manga but I do know a bit about Marvel. For instance, the character Machine Man first appeared in Marvel's 2001: A Space Odyssey comic (which became a sort of anthology series unrelated to the...

They literally only just announced a ROM figure despite having had the Marvel license for ages, and he at least had the title role in a comic that lasted 75 issues and 4 annuals.

That's only because they backported those characters to other comics before the issues where they premiered happened. Which is why Circuit Breaker just randomly shows up in Secret Wars 2 and, like, never again in any Marvel stuff outside of Transformers. There was actually a comic a few years...

It's kind of weird how fragile Unicron's eye was. Or how Slag could burn through his surface. Or how Rodimus Prime could throw Galvatron through his outer walls. Dude survived an exploding moon IN HIS MOUTH without a scratch on him!

It's pretty bad, but that's mostly wrapped up in being one of the most crass toy commercials in history. The first 25 minutes is just an excuse to murder off the existing toys so the new toys can take over, and kinda doesn't have a lot to do with the main plot of Unicron. (Or, conversely, the...

I've see it suggested that when Hot Rod catches the matrix and it does that "Glow" effect (late seen on Unicron's opticon doohicky) that it was basically a big beacon to the chaos bringer. Though that doesn't necessarily explain why he knew what it was or what it could do, unless it was nothing...

Meanwhile Galaxy Shuttle is over here going "Yeah, it's my name, alt-mode and profession. You gotta problem with that?"

The story is trash, but there's a reason the franchise and fandom still quotes that movie incessantly: iconic lines read by a top tier voice cast. And while the animation sometimes has some rough spots, it looks good to fantastic for most of the movie. There's plenty to ding that movie for...
