Two more are planned as accompaniments for the Titans Return and Planets Transform lines over the next couple of years.

guess we'll see the new TF game this E3?

As much as I like the TF games released these past 2 gens, it irritates me that Acti doesn't put in more budget to it.
I do find it hilarious that TF: Devastation had a low budget but was sold rather pricey.

People keep saying that, but I just don't trust Activision on this by word alone, especially since I've never seen a firm source on that from them. Hope we see something too; I'd settle for a logo, just let me know something's happening.

According to TFW, Fort Max has started showing up in Australia

 

[MattKeil]

CW Groove for preorder for $25. Not a great price but probably about as good as it's going to get.

Hope everyone got in, sold out already!

Edit: apprently Captured Prey had it for $21, but they are also sold out.

There are some early reviews up on youtube, and I think I'm passing. Seems really wobbly and feature for feature not worth the asking price to me.

So much for that theory huh?

But man
the emotions, next issue is gonna be heartbreaking XO
This was one hell of a breather issue though but uh...
Wait Ratchet can do an operation with 'His hands closed and eyes tied behind his back'?
OK I know cybertronians are mechanicals but dang.

Also Cyclonus had the best line this issue.

Breather issue? I had my brain put through a blender after reading it. Roberts was not joking when he said it could work as a series finale, "all plot threads must go". All that's left is the inevitable

Spoiler

Tarn unmasking next month

and it's almost a clean slate for next season. If I was a bit more paranoid I'd think he's planning to close the series entirely.

I was really sad about MASSIVE SPOILERS DON'T READ

Spoiler

Dominus Ambus, seems like the poor guy can't catch a break. It takes a special kind of bad luck to suffer two different yet equally horrifying fates in as many universes.

I gotta give them credit for having Domey in the same position from the issue where he fires at Overlord, only this time with Rewind being there to console him.

I'm most curious as to

Spoiler

what will become of Megatron at the end of this. And how some other writer will eventually turn him back to his old self

Such a major character switching sides doesn't last long unfortunately. Even if he's killed he'll be brought back.

Spoiler

It may not be switching sides, but Cyclonus is still with the Autobots after five years both in real time and series time. And Megatron is still there after two.

Edit: In toys news, I just bit the bullet and preordered Takara Computron and Takara Skids from IaconToys. Bank account am cry.
Also, this pic explains why Powermaster Optimus' helmet looks better than, say, Galvatron's: it's a full helmet, basically a whole hollow head that goes over the titanmaster:

At this point one has to wonder why even bother, and the small head looks pretty terrible color-wise from the side, though I like how (I assume) it's meant to portray Orion Pax. All in all I think having standard sized heads for all sizes was a bad idea, and why I'm only interested in the Deluxes (which, for the most part, look fantastic).

Also, did we know what Titanmaster Brainstorm looked like? I don't think I've seen it before:

[Weltall Zero]

Found this and loved it (these two would get along so damn well):

I wonder why the author made a crossover between these two works of fiction. I mean, one of them is an incredibly smart, often funny but sometimes very dark, moving and poignant series about starfaring, ancient, monogendered (drawing very positive reactions from the LBGT community), tech-based inorganic aliens, way beyond human being in physical strength, technology and abilities (all of them can project solid holographic human avatars and change shape, and even combine with each other), chronicling the aftermath of a civil war raging since before the start of human civilization, itself caused by the desire of one side to protect organic life from the other side; while the other is, um... huh.

 

[Drayco21]

Toy Pics

My heart breaks a little every time we see the final version of that Galvatron. He looked so good initially! But that stupid partial helmet, the hindered articulation, the ridiculous looking upper legs; I was so looking forward to adding a great looking CHUG Galvatron. Hopefully once people start getting them in-hand, they figure out a fix for him.

He looks alright in a real dumb sort of way with the (Apeface? Snapdragon?) Headmaster replacing his default one though.

Also really surprised how into Sentinel and Brainstorm I am; Sentinel did nothing for me as a character so far, so I figured I'd just pick up Astrotrain and be done with it, but something about those in-hand picture call to me, and Brainstorm looks leagues better than Blurr.

a few g1 reissues came in this week=)

 

[Haloid1177]

Ordered MMC Commotus today, first third party figure for me. If I'm impressed I'll probably order their DJD figures next, while putting in a preorder for their Overlord.

Should I have posted pics whoops. Love the colors and design and MP hasn't scratched that Transformer itch for me recently and MMC has always intrigued me. If I like the quality of Commotus will possibly order Hexatron in June

 

[MattKeil]

He's a super solid figure. The scoop things on the front of the tank tend to pop off a lot but it's a minor issue. Worth it to have a Metal Slug tank on the desk.

MMC is one of the best of the third parties. For non-MP style stuff they're unmatched.

It does look fantastic in both modes. Unfortunately like most third parties, it's well outside my budget.

Where did you get the Galvatron?

Where did you get the Galvatron?

i got it from mandarake, for about 75 bucks before shipping,

 

[Diggeh]

Haloid pls you can't escape MMC Transformers collecting!

Spoiler

we will both own the entire DJD at some point

 

[NEO0MJ]

I thought you were exaggerating until I scrolled down.

 

[Tizoc]

Wonder if that Brainstorm figure's chest compartment is hollow :V

Also Robots in Disguise's 2nd season ended recently at 13 episodes. Seems the 3rd (and final?) season ends by Autumn this year.

Wonder what the next TF series will be.

 

[Haloid1177]

So upon realizing MMC was doing the DJD I started looking around and found out that Cynicus/Vos was sold out everywhere, so I started shopping around and someone on TFW had one MIB never transformed so that's one down. Kaon/Anarchus is up next but thankfully he's still in stock most places.

 

[Tizoc]

Aw snaps

[Haloid1177]

So I got Commotus/Turmoil this weekend and I'm blown away by how good of a figure he is. The way Hasbro started treating the line I've been only buying MP figures, but MMC is making figures of similar quality of awesome comic characters. I fiddled with him all the time over the weekend, and I honestly haven't enjoyed a TF this much in quite some time. Highly recommend him.

Also grabbed a Fansproject Bruticus set from a local guy for $90 over the weekend. Always been one of my most wanted figures and I couldn't pass on him for the price.

SDCC 2016~ G.I. Joe vs Transformers Box Set

 

[GodParticle]

I wish they would do a legit transformers vs gi joe line. That would be amazing

 

[HammerOfThor]

So it doesn't transform? Bummer.

 

[BattleMonkey]

So Fort Max, no es bueno?

I dunno, I think it looks really cool. Personally I'm excited for him.

 

[NEO0MJ]

So it doesn't transform? Bummer.

I don't think they ever made a set that actually features transformers, just transformers inspired color schemes for the vehicles. It seems they once had plans for a real vs line, though.

If this supposed Hasbro Cinematic Universe comes to pass in the next few years, I suspect a real transforming crossover line will be in the cards.

 

[BattleMonkey]

The crossover universe is still going to be separate transformers and GI Joe. Not the idea of Transformers being vehicles for GI Joe. They already did a series crossover once where they did attempt that, all the transformers were redesigned to be GI Joe vehicles that transformed. Like Star Scream was a Cobra Rattler I believe

Awesome, I really hope they give it their Shout Factory CE treatment with new cover art and free posters and slip case if you order from them.

 

[MattKeil]

Extremely good news. As recently as April, Shout was at a complete dead end with it because of Paramount's lack of interest. I don't know what happened to change Paramount's mind, but I'll take it.

All the Coneheads are going to be mall exclusive. Once Ramjet was exclusive, there was no doubt. If you were going to do any of them retail, it's him.

I still hold out a good amount of hope that Hasbro will put them out in the US. They love to release any version of the MP seeker mold they can. We got both Acid Rain and Sunstorm. These are easy to release because they require no additional licensing and are sure to be a big hit with US fans because of their exclusivity in Japan. It's a home run.
