    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    Finally saw this over the weekend. A tangent on the topic of people just not going to movies as much anymore: the last movie we went to was Dune Part II last summer. About 75% through the film, the picture started to break up and we had to wait 20 minutes or so while they rebooted the equipment...

    40th Anniversary Trading Card Series & Kickstarter

    I do love the comic focus on this new card set. (Reminds me I should dig out my old 80s TF cards and put them into my new card binder alongside my old Jim Lee X-Men and X-Files cards. And now I'm curious what my brother did with his TMNT sets from back in the day...)

    40th Anniversary Trading Card Series & Kickstarter

    That's all waaaay too much, but I am still excited to pick some of these up at, say, Target when they come out. I'm crossing my fingers for a per-pack retail price of around $5, not sure I can justify much more than that on 10 random cards. The Kickstarter seems to bear this out, as the...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Consuming animals for energy?? In a comic book?!? The horror He doesn't seem to move at all through the flurry of "time passes" panel changes, so this seems plausible. I mean, DWJ literally says in the letters page that he always hated BB and preferred Cliffjumper, so he chose to immediately...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I think it'd be hilarious if this Straxus mold did see a mainline release... but remolded with the Stupid Sexy Straxus head. :D

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    This actually reminds me a bit of Brian Ruckley's early IDW run, which is kind of a neat thing to feel nostalgia for.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    That robot mode is gorgeous. It's really too bad the vehicle mode (which isn't terrrrible) looks nothing like his old Viper form. (And I know haterz gunna hate, but that original Side Burn toy remains one of my favorite TFs to transform. Yes, it's ridiculously fiddly, but there's a certain joy...

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    Anyone else digitally subscribed to Void Rivals through Amazon/Comixology and not get #8? Usually you get charged for an issue a week or two in advance, but it looks like my subscription hiccupped and paid for #9 early (two weekends ago) and skipped #8 entirely. I suppose at this point I'll just...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I'm sorry, but "Here's 12 new toys redecoed as 12 old toys"--while perhaps the sanest/safest course of action to take with a MW-themed convention set--is by far the most boring option.

    The second iteration of IDW Transformers is one of my favorite pieces of fiction

    I didn't mind the slowness. I think Ruckley wrote the slow buildup better than he did the action, which got a bit samey towards the end. I loved his penchant for grabbing characters from absolutely anywhere and mixing them all up. It would have been really interesting to see where he would have...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I can get my Snarl's forehead to barely sit flush by messing with the ball joints of his legs (that are inside his head) but the right side still tends to pop out once everything else gets snapped firmly into place.

    Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound

    I went to download my issue #5 from Amazon, but it said the e-version won't be released until Feb 21st...?!

    Dynamite Entertainment to produce Transformers G1 trading card set

    I was just recently going through my old X-Files and Marvel/X-Men trading cards, and thinking how I would be extremely tempted by a modern set of collectible cards. I wasn't expecting TFs to immediately read my mind...

    Jose Delbo has passed away

    RIP to one of the greats. His Marvel G1 run has to be the longest uninterrupted run for any TF artist, no? (#s 36 to 60, I believe?)

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    How dare you, sir! Prime's disembodied head straight from the comics is the main selling point for this set.

    40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

    I love the idea of Blue Bolts, but man, these don't look like that much of an upgrade from the originals. Like, I had to look real close at those renders of Fire Convoy's truck and super robot modes to convince myself they weren't the 2001 versions. (The smaller 'bot mode definitely gives it...
