If you’ve been around the fandom for a hot minute or two, you might remember the Heroes of Cybertron figure line from the early aughts. You know, these guys: Image via TFWiki, in case the watermark didn’t tip you off. Well, some stirrings in the community lately have unearthed some details...

The coalition of Skybound Entertainment, Image Comics, and Hasbro have announced today that things are about to get a little more “special” in their recently-launched Energon Universe of expanded universe comic book titles, which currently includes the Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises, as...

Had your fill of new Transformers news yet? Of course you haven’t! That’s why you’re here, right? Let’s see if this whets your appetite for an hour or two. First up is the latest of the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece Trainbots, Doctor Yellow, who is now listed at the Takara Tomy Mall...

Word is making the rounds today that José Delbo has passed away at the age of 90, due to causes unknown. For those unfamiliar, Delbo was a prolific Argentine artist whose work spanned a wide range, most notably in comics. These include such titles as Superman, Batman, Aquaman, and Green Arrow...

People around the world — or at least the United States, it kinda varies and frays a bit the further out you get — will be hyping themselves up for “The Big Game” on Sunday, February 11th. As it turns out, that hype even extends to those from the planet Cybertron, as Autobot leader Optimus Prime...

An intriguing bit of merchandise has popped up on Amazon Japan. Titled “Transformers Archive Super Encyclopedia Tankobon,” this 112-page softcover book is due to be available on May 13th, 2024, and while there are no previews and you can’t order it just yet, we are given the following...

When an action figure is lacking in articulation and/or posing options, it’s common enough to hear people refer to it as a “statue” (or, alternatively and perhaps more commonly, a “brick”). Well, it seems the folks at Takara Tomy have decided to lean into that term where one of their upcoming...

It’s BotCon’s 30th anniversary, and to celebrate, they’re taking the event back to where it all began: Ft. Wayne, Indiana! The convention where Bots and Cons alike can con-gregate to talk a-bot — er, about all things Transformers and more will be held at the Grand Wayne Center from June 27th to...

Right, so. From the front page...

Piñatas? Pinball tables? Valentine’s pencils? Bowling pins?! We all know that Transformers is a successful brand spanning the action figure aisle, video games, cartoons, motion pictures, and comic books. But we also know that it’s always “More Than Meets The Eye,” so it should come as little...

It looks like our favorite Robots in Disguise are getting medieval! Yes, again! Or at least, the code names to come from a leak are leaning that way. According to the ol' rumor mill, retail code names for a trio of product that appear to be shipping under the Collaborative banner. These are as...

Per the front page.

Done. I remember the Armada stuff about being a continuation of G1. I'm pretty sure there was some sort of news or announcement that painted it as such at one point, and the early commercials for the cartoon using G1 character models certainly did little to dispel the idea: That said...

Got to wondering earlier, just how popular is/was Beast Wars II in Japan? I mean, to my understanding, Transformers isn't as popular there as it is in the US, or other things there, but I'm interested more within the context of Japanese Transformers itself. Like, where would it rank among their...

There has long been a strange aspect of Generation 1 Optimus Prime that has always bothered me: the stripe across his chest that disappears when he transforms into truck mode. At least, in animation, it does. Here's the toy: And here are some samples of the animation: Now, it didn't...

I've been wavering about this for a while now, and I think having COVID the past couple of weeks has pushed me over the edge. I'm looking around, and I really need to do something about the Transformers I have hanging around. Mostly, I just kind of put my Transformers wherever, generally on...

Even without Unicron there... it just feels like a place where it's like, "Okay, where's a good place to dump Unicron? How about here? No one wants to go here, anyway." Even the title has an air of creepiness to it, though that might be the musical riff that plays during this part of the...

Okay, so for various reasons, I haven't really followed IDW's Transformers comics since the reboot. But now that they're losing the license, it's looking like it's now or never, right? Sure, no doubt someone else will pick up the rights. And maybe they'll republish this stuff at some point...

(First, I asked, and was told this was probably the best place for this.) Okay, so it's no small secret that I'm a Mega Man fan. And among the many Robot Masters featured throughout the series, my favorite is Turbo Man. No points for guessing why. But if you're not familiar with Mega Man, then...

I was told that the Iacon Art Institute isn't just for Transformers stuff, so... I've spent the last several months working on a new project, and I'm finally ready to present the first fruits of my labor: Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends. Put simply...
