    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    These SS TFOne dudes don't seem to have won the lottery when it comes to quality of var mode, but their robot modes are nice enough. Shame it seems like they won't complete the main cast until 2045. Have to pick up some of those lil mainline guys for now I guess.

    Transformers One Spoiler Discussion

    It had not remained at the front of my mind but if there was one element of the movie that rubbed me the wrong way, it's Orion's shift to miner instead of librarian. I really like the Optimus and Megatron relationship being built on two people from very different walks of life who come together...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

    This is probably discussion better held elsewhere, but since we're on the subject... yes. The action is fast-paced and brutal but it's so well executed that you can always tell exactly what's happening. The way this dude draws is so wildly kinetic and... motionful and... wrestley. It's dirty and...

    Transformers One Spoiler Discussion

    In a perfect world, maybe this is the origin story that catches the rest of the world up to where we have all been for decades, and the beginning of a film franchise that takes us to new places that are built on a foundation that... isn't Michael Bay, and again it's not my intent here to...

    Transformers One Spoiler Discussion

    This is really fascinating to me, because that is (to a long-time TF fan) a super valid complaint about this film, but one that never would have occurred to me. Personally I was surprised by the movie, because it was so full of familiar stuff, established beats and history, recognisable...

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

    I am shocked to hear that the movie hasn't done better financially. I've been kind of checked out of Transformers for a while and I don't know that I would have bothered seeing this in the cinema, but an endless explosion of overwhelmingly positive responses on social media got my attention and...

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    The recasts were a shame, especially after Teela being so signficant in Revelation, but once the show got going I didn't really find myself bothered. Duncan and Lyn were intact and that's the most important thing! Shatner was great (given the other new cast members Star Trek was clearly a very...

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

    Caught up on all this Skybound nonsense. Void Rivals is aggressively Okay, but I really likethe first two issues of Transformers. I didn't realise we had a writer/artist on the book. I'm not thrilled about the whole 80s-G1-wake-up-on-Earth thing, but that sort of made me wonder what I DO want...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Stupid Legacy bollocks. I pretty much cold-turkied out of Transformers a couple of years ago. I was even able to resist new toys for Metalhawk, Knock Out, Strongarm, some of my favourite characters. But then I stumbled across "post-apocalyptic garbage truck" and the bounders got me. So fine, I...

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    I obviously fell behind on Origins news because suddenly the latest wave is out already in some stupid lucky countries, and I had no idea they were doing 200X in Origins. That's delightfully backwards.

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    My overpriced aftermarket King Grayskull arrived today, hooray. I also found some Baby Netflix "core" figures locally for the first time this week, and I was quite surprised about how nice they are in person. Obviously the articulation is limited but the sculpts and paint are pretty good. Is...

    Timey Wimey Business- a thread for Doctor Who

    Well surely the bookies didn't have HIM on their list?! Very confident he can do a great job, though as always I would rather see someone older in the role. I'm well behind on Jodie's run, but I enjoyed what I've seen. It gave me a much stronger classic Who vibe than anything else the new...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    It would be a stretch to say that I have ever really been even a casual Star Trek fan, but I enjoyed some of the Marvel books back in the 90s (probably? What is time?), particularly... uh... the one starring Pike. Haven't seen any of Discovery but gave this a shot Because Pike, and I really...

    Disney animation and related media

    How did that guy ever get a job as a film critic? How is this movie less relatable to a random white guy than Encanto or Coco or Finding Nemo or Zootopia or... basically any movie?

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    Sure looks very PLAy. Hopefully the mechanics are very similar, because going from Arceus to a "classic style" Pokemon game would be torture.

    Digimon General Discussion Thread

    Recasting when there are Old Dudes You Can Get is always a bummer, but I'm really glad there's a dub coming so my kids can watch the show. We had started watching the original Adventure dub a while back but it was one of the shows pulled when Funimation ate Animelab.

    Futurama - new season on Hulu

    An internets told me that they decided he was worth the money. Allegedly after they tried to get Mark Hammill to play the role, and he said "bugger off and pay DiMaggio right". As did many other prominent voice actors, and the whole fanbase. Allegedly. But it seems like that SHOULD have...

    Uncharted movie

    The casting is really hard to swallow as a fan of the games, but I'm still keen to give it a crack when I get a chance.

    Disney+s Live Action Rescue Rangers Is Not What You’re Expecting

    Yeah, which seems likely and dreadful.
