I am beginning to suspect Takara Tomy has an ambitious plan to bring back all G1 Transformers toys. Perhaps it is to fulfil the vision of making better versions of the G1 toys that the technology did not allow, and also to tickle the nostalgia in fans, so we would […]
Another combiner is set to join the Age of the Primes toy line. Joining the likes of Menasor, Devastator, Superion, and the reissue of 2018’s Power of the Primes Predaking is yet another Decepticon combiner, Bruticus. Like the previous combiners, each member will slowly roll out, and so getting the […]
Transformers toys will help you see inflation. Case in point: the Transformers Power of the Primes Titan Class Predaking. It was released in 2018 for US$159.99. It recently had a reissue, and guess how much it is 7 years on in 2025? US$229.99. If anyone’s doing the math, that is […]
At this point, I am starting to think Transformers characters are just actors from Cybertron. How else do you explain Optimus Prime being a steampunk train, and Starscream, a steampunk aircraft, and then they were something else previously, like, you know, a cab-over semi truck and an F-15 Eagle fighter […]
If you haven’t already heard, the fifth and final season of Stranger Things is happening soon. Also, if you don’t know, November 6 was Stranger Things Day. Yup. It’s a thing. Why November 6, though? Well, it was the day on which Will Byers disappeared in the show. I know, […]
Love is in the air… and Valentine’s Day 2026 came early for Star Wars fans. Wait, what? That’s right, my friends. Star Wars is celebrating the season of love with something no one saw coming: a Star Wars The Black Series Ewok (Valentine’s Day Edition). It’s the cuddly but deceptively […]
Transformers toy collectors are living in an exciting time. Why? For the first time, you don’t have to spend ridiculous money hunting down a piece of toy history—if you could even find one. The new Transformers Spotlight Optimus Prime set lets you do just that. This trio of Deluxe Scale […]
Good news for Transformers fans who grew up in the late ’90s: Maximal Big Convoy, a.k.a. Mammoth Prime, has finally stomped out of Japan and into the global spotlight. Previously, a Prime (or Convoy, as they call him in Japan) with a mammoth alt mode was exclusive to Takara Tomy. […]
Unless you are a fervent follower of Masters of the Universe since its beginning, you probably aren’t familiar with Sting-Or. But if you do, then good news, because Sting-Or has returned — this time in the Masters of the Universe Origins line. Sting-Or is one of those deep-cut characters that […]
We just realized we’ve talked about the Transformers Studio Series The Transformers: The Movie Coronation Starscream twice. Why? I have no idea. Anyway, that Starscream is not a great toy, btw. I had it. It was essentially a retool of the Earthrise Starscream, which isn’t great to begin with, IMHO. […]
Hasbro has perfected a way to openly take your money twice for the same product. That’s right, my friends, I’m talking about the ol’ retool/repaint. But here’s the thing: Hasbro doesn’t just do repaint/retool out of thin air. The toymaker almost always bases them on cartoons or comics, and in […]
