Madness, and this time (unlike some of the previous bouts thereof) we haven't got a map outline as we did before.
This sounds like it could provide more material for this discussion thread own our very own board....

I take that as another sign that Hasbro intentionally pivoted the production away from Paramount's previous stuff.
Ah, but, remember, the first Paramount movie is where the Aligned backstory lore originally got the ideas of Optimus and Megatron being former friends who became enemies, and the AllSpark being launched from Cybertron into space. It all comes full circle.

A miserable little pile of secr--
But enough talk- HAVE AT YOU!
I don't know if I'm over the idea of Optimus and Megs being pals pre-war but I'm starting to be over the idea of Megs as a social revolutionary Who Just Goes Too Far. Why not make the Decepticons the fascists? Would fit the end goal better. Make Megs Orion's pre-war buddy he lost to like... the Cybertronian alt-right.Ah, but, remember, the first Paramount movie is where the Aligned backstory lore originally got the ideas of Optimus and Megatron being former friends who became enemies, and the AllSpark being launched from Cybertron into space.

TF One is clearly going in the direction I just said I'm tired of but I'll go in with an open mind. The VAing and writing seems on point so I'm sure they'll pull it out.
Oh, I feel like this film will keep the wiki boys busy documenting all the Easter Eggs.
You have no idea.
Not only that, the race scene alone will keep Studio Series going for YEARS
Ummmmm what?
I think it's meant to be a triple joke about how inconsistent Unicron has been portrayed across his multiple Paramount film appearances, about the enormous (almost absurd) amount of character cameos in the race clip, and a jab at how Lorenzo keeps saying things to try and make all of the movies fit together when it's clear that not all of them do.
They need to do to Lorenzo what TNA Wresting did to Dixie Carter and give him a basement office with a phone that can't call out.
It could be a worshiper of Unicron (some random idiot who doesn't realise that Unicron wants to consume them and everyone else), say wearing a mask, as long as they don't put his Iconic wings upon the back of the bot, their ok along with the colour scheme aside from the helmet/mask
Not unheard of...
So, most of our nearby Walmarts have done their toy aisle resets, and Transformers ONE is pretty solidly represented, but I've noticed a weird quirk: each of the Deluxe figures has their own hook(s). Optimus has one, B-127 has one, and Quintesson has one. Studio series ONE Optimus and 86 Bee also seem to have their own real estate on the mod. The price tags have the specific toys' names on them. This is also NOT the dedicated display box for TF:ONE toys and merch that seems to live near electronics, but the regular toy aisle.
Does anyone have the inside scoop on this? Is Walmart getting solid cases of single figures this season, or is this some weird temporary thing to tie in with TF:ONE? Target does not seem to be doing this (and I've seen deluxe Sentinel there, but not at WM). I'm mostly concerned about what this means for future figure releases; at the very least, we ought to be getting a Megatron and Elita-1 some time soon, but they don't seem to have a place on the current mod.

These two getting special treatment I chalked up to their being part of the "A Level" assortment that means they'll get constantly rereleased over a long period of time.
The normal mainline TF One toys getting their own personalized pegs, however, I'm less sure about. Maybe there are fewer toys in the line than the space Walmart has to fill in their Transformers toy section, and so are spreading out the individual figures to dedicated pegs in order to fill up the space.
I do get the feeling that the TF1 Deluxes (or whatever they're called) are being shipped in dedicated cases for each character; the item arrangement I saw at Target the other day suggested the same.
Interesting. So maybe the overflowing peg of Bumblebees shouldn't stop Walmart from ordering future waves of everyone else anymore.
