By Loran Everybody loves the Dinobots! They’re probably one of the most endearing sub-teams in Transformers lore, to the point where they even got not one but TWO sublines devoted just to them. That’s impressive. […]
By Loran I’ve always had a thing for military Autobots, and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because we don’t see them too often. I feel the same way about Decepticons that transform into fast […]
By Loran Love him or hate him, ever since he became a big movie start with the 2007 movie, Bumblebee’s back to being a huge part of Transformers lore. It’s a good thing, too, because […]
By Loran While it’s taken them a few years to get to this point, the Classics/Universe/Generations line has been doing a pretty good job giving us casts from the original cartoon. We’re only a few […]
By Loran Possibly the best “feature” of the Power Core Combiners line has not been the unique alt-modes, nifty Minicons, or combination gimmick, but rather its abundance of new characters. So far the only “heritage” […]
By Loran It seems that even the most disliked of Transformers lines all seem to get that one wave that people just go ga-ga over when the prototype pictures get revealed. Love the line or […]
By Loran New characters, new characters, new characters! Once again Hasbro adds a new character to the Decepticon ranks. Instead of going with a 100% new character, this time Hasbro has gone with sort of […]
By Loran Even in the repaints, the 2010 line has given us some pretty clever homages. I’ve noticed these quite a bit since 2008. Hasbro’s been taking a lot of regular-sized figures and making them […]
By Unkiedev Oh good grief, here we go again. One thing I LIKE about independent comic book publishers is they have to have better ideas to stay afloat. If the small presses can’t tell stories […]
By Loran While the Hunt for the Decepticons/Reveal the Shield/Generations lineups have given us amazing updates of classic (and movie) characters, their new characters have been the best part. With Breacher, we got an all-new […]
By Loran The second half of the Battle in Space two-pack is Cyclonus, the reformed Bombshell who became Galvatron’s sickeningly loyal right-hand man. Sometimes he can be big enough for the insane leader to pilot […]
By Loran The Transformers 2010/11 toyline/Reveal the Shield series continues, continuing to move away from the movie aesthetic and back into the Classics/Universe/Generations style. This isn’t too bad of an idea, since we’ve got Dark […]
By Loran This little guy is Breacher. He’s one of the newest molds to come at this price point, and he’s been getting quite a bit of attention since the first pictures of him showed […]
By Loran Like every other Transformers line in history, Generations is chock-full of repaints (well, redecos) and retools. Of course, this got some people’s panties in a twist, but what do you expect? It’s Transformers. […]
By Loran Once again, Hasbro dives into the classic Marvel Comics villains for their new toylines. This time, it’s Thunderwing, the insane Matrix-obsessed Decepticon that once came close to taking out Unicron. Like most classic […]
By Loran Hasbro, it’s about time, and you’ve really outdone yourselves! Ever since the Classics line debuted back in 2006, I’m pretty sure Jazz was really high the list of characters fans wanted to see […]
By Loran Mercy is not dispensed here, fools! Only… reviews. Since the start of the 2010 product year, Hasbro really seems to be giving us a lot of throwbacks to the Marvel days. Bludgeon? Check. […]
By Loran Ah, the Power Core Combiners… what a gimmick. Some people love it, others hate it. Honestly? I love it. I’m a huge combiner fan because I love collecting up teams and making the […]
By Loran In the entire history of Transformers, there is probably no character more self-serving than Drift. A badass ex-Decepticon who killed a bunch of Autobots then eventually joined them? Uses swords for weapons? Transformers […]
By Loran Ah, the Seekers… the classic backbone of the Decepticon army. What’s more fun than an army of nigh-identical jet guys to fill out the backgrounds of scenes and never get seen again? Sure, […]
