Energon Optimus Prime + Wing Saber is low key one of my favorite primes ever.
EDIT:
OH MY FUCKING GOD
These are all sold out except for Chromia, which I can't believe they're already releasing another version of. The ghostbusters one is up for 39.99 though. I'm not sure what happens if you order preorders with different release dates, if they hold on to your order until everything is ready or what.
Huh, I wonder what tone / target audience it will have. There's not a lot of reason to expect anything much better than the pretty mediocre Titans Return stuff, is there?
I think I might bite on Soundwave. I just don't love the battle look
I'd suggest taking a look at their current series gen:Lock to get an idea of what to expect visually/animation-wise. If they manage to improve for the 2020 that'll be cool. Gen:lock's animation is good IMO.
I don't much care about visuals. I mean, Transformers Animated is probably my favorite TF series. :D The visuals in Titan Return were perfectly fine to me, it's the simplistic, barely-there plot that made me check out.
(granted, it being visually connected to Windblade / Till All Are One and such might have made me set plot standards that were impossible to meet).
That's just his fake form to sell toys. He really turns into a street lamp.

Springer looks so cool, sooo happy!
Who knows if he'll ever come out in my country, but for something that cool I'll def be trying to import if nothing else.

Is 'The IDW Collection' worth getting or am I better off just picking up the volume arcs on their own? The TF wiki says the order within the collection is questionable for some.

The logo's been slimed 🤣That box, tho
There is nothing about this thing I'm not loving.
Normally I wouldn't double post but lol at this figure.

Hopefully it's a limited run, not a lot of people to sell this to once G2 fans (all seven of them) get one.
G2 Megatron was my first Transformer toy and I'm very much attached to that design but go ahead and mock me...
Heavens no, I had this one.
Yeah, I mean if you have nostalgia for the colors as well. And that G2 Megs is a perfect example of what I mean. :D
That box, tho
Yeah, preordered that shit on ebgames.ca the second it was up.
I never owned these titan class figures so it's always crazy seeing them towering over leader class figures.
It's kinda messy, but that particular Megatron I think I wouldn't mind being remade. It's why I fell down this dark hole, after all.

Looks like Combat Hero Megatron has a new miner-Megatron headsculpt so that'll probably be a cool future redeco.
Recent bumblebee movie news
These are the colours you use when engaging in jungle warfare.Heavens no, I had this one.
Recent bumblebee movie news
I'm assuming this means you saw it, and you liked it? I have to get around to seeing it too.
To be fair, the Autobot / Decepticon war was waged in many planets throughout the galaxy; maybe some of them actually had bright neon green vegetation with purple splotches! keanureeveswhoa.gif
Oh! You could have linked the news, you know! :D
Excellent news, if not unexpected. The fact that it was more successful than recent Bay movies restores an infinitesimal amount of my faith in mankind.
It makes a lot of sense for Hasbro to double down on the G1 designs, anyway. Lots of crossover / peripheral fandom, with both G1 and movie fans buying movie and CHUG toys. For all their efforts in making an "aligned" continuity, it's odd that they didn't do just that until now.

Things are looking up for TF media going forward.
Certain Affinity is working on a potentially AAA TF third-person shooter game with the working title Transformers Online. We'll see what that turns out to be, though.
Transformers online sounds to me like it will be a Chinese/Korean market only MMORPG.
It's okay. Writing is a little simplistic, the voices are non-union (but not completely bad), it draws pretty heavily from IDW, and there are zero humans. It's better than RiD, but nowhere near the labors of love that preceded it (Animated and Prime).
I feel like there's been a million games called some variation or other of "Transformers Online", and every one of them has been like "cancelled, Asia-only, utter shit: pick at least two".
True, but this one's being made by a dev that worked on multiplayer for the Halo and COD series. I don't care much about online multiplayer, but I doubt it's going to be a cheapo Asian exclusive.
If the working title is Transformers Online it's unlikely it'll be what most of us are looking for.
The art of Animated and Prime turned me off. But thanks. I like the idea of an IDW TF.
My dad visited and brought some of my toy boxes with Transformers in them. I had some G1 Dinobots and headmasters, app G2 Constructicons, Six Shot, Dreadwing, and miscellanious parts to various combiners from G1 and G2 like Stunticons and Aerialbots.
... which probably means it will be cancelled. :P
I dunno, I've kind of stopped hoping as far as decent TF games are concerned. I have a feeling if Hasbro gave a shit they would just greenlight the sequel to Devastation, or even another game in the Cybertron series. I'll be glad to be proven wrong, but until then the best way not to get disappointed is to expect the worst.
I just dove into the rich and storied past of "Transformers Online", and holy shit:
- Transformers Online, developed by Netdragon. Launched on 2012, abandoned that year.
- Transformers Universe, developed by Jagex. Entered beta in 2014, shut down on January 2015.
- Transformers Online, developed by Tencent. Entered beta in China in 2017, no announced plans for western release.
- Transformers Online, develped by Certain Affinity. Release date TBD.
Between this and Robots in Disguise the 2001 anime / unrelated 2012 comic / unrelated 2015 cartoon, whoever comes up with titles at Hasbro sure has a rich, overflowing imagination. >_>
