Transformers general thread - Toy Robot men based on giant robots based on previously mentioned toys about said robots

Unrelated to current discussion, MP Rattrap got leaked. Will release in September and cost ~100-125 USD.
I thought they said there were gonna be no more MP figures after that last one? Kind of cosmically hilarious that the MP figure to come out after the "last masterpiece figure" is a fucking RAT.

They just switched to everything being labeled MPG, even though it was supposed to be just for combiners initially.

we are never peaking from what we already have do we?
both cybertron games(the hd games at least), devastation and armada where the peak for the games we got, but it just feels we could have had so much more.
Some of the games that were made to be tie ins to the live action movies were generally received well too. Though from what I remember most of those weren't like 1 to 1 of the movies and had characters that weren't even in the movies at the time like shockwave which gives a good timeframe of how long ago those were lmao.
 
now that you mention it, i think the rotf tie in game was also made by high moon studios?
and i remember the first movie ds game to be suprisingly okay.
 
The new CEO (Chris Cocks) is a fucking retard and everything is legitimately falling apart with him steering the ship:

- ROTB did ok at best
- Earthspark bombed
- Transformers One bombed
- All these shitty fucking mobile games no one cares about continue to be dead on arrival
- Reactivate is cancelled

And even before that you had the massive embarrassment of TLK, Bumblebee just doing alright, IDW tanking, etc.

That's not even getting into their other brands, like Star Wars and Marvel which are just huge money drains at this point for obvious reasons. They were so incompetent they gave up POWER RANGERS of all things, one of the most popular boy brands of all time. You have to be a special kind of retarded to fuck that up.

His entire "focusing on video games" spiel is a con job because absolute jack shit has come from it other than continuing to rape D&D to the core of the earth. Hell, they haven't even bothered to re-release WFC and FOC which it seems like everyone is desperately begging for at this point.

Only the current TF toys and comics seem to be doing ok. Other than that it's a massive disaster. At this rate I will be surprised if Hasbro still exists in a few years if this guy somehow still isn't booted out.
Transformers One bombed because of when it was released and due to how little they advertised it after they showed the worst parts of the movie. Marvel and Star Wars IPs make them a ton of money. They're also working on a new Power Ranger movie. Maybe look things up next time.
 
Looking up the cancellation of reactivate, apperently it wsn't hasbro that forced the company making it to shut itdown but the company itself doing it for weird fucking bullshit reasons. I mean the statement linked kind of implies that if you read through it but apperently people that worked on the game and are now jobless are like very angry on social media about this shit.

Lol. Ok.

One was an actual good movie that bombed because it was mismanaged (marketing/release date), a failure on both Hasbro and Paramount's part.
Star Wars and Marvel toy revenue have both plummeted. Hasbro even admitted SW has been doing poorly in their last report.
They licensed out Power Rangers to Playmates after fumbling the brand.

They need someone who isn't totally out of touch to oversee things cuz their current management certainly isn't doing it.

Yes, but if they stopped overproducing the unpopular new stuff and focused on the classic stuff that gets scalped anyway, things would be fine. Their distribution is a nightmare anyway, at least for Transformers, because at any given moment nowadays the shelves only have a few expensive toys, a bunch of cheap gimmicky toys, and a few Generations shelfwarmers (usually beastformers, common characters, and redecos) -- around 2015-2019, it was only ever like that when lines were being retired and we were waiting for the new ones to come. I have never once seen ROTB Battletrap, DX Sentinel Prime, ROTB Studio Series Wheeljack, Legacy Beachcomber, RID2015 Strongarm, and many others at retail (though retail has lots of gems online doesn't have either like Iguanus, Tow-Line, Galaxy Shuttle, and Toxitron).

You're obviously retarded and never read the news from them to quote the first part

PAWTUCKET, R.I.—April 22, 2024— Hasbro, a leading toy and game company, today announced a global licensing agreement with Playmates Toys, a global toy design, development, marketing and distribution company, to produce and distribute POWER RANGERS product. Playmates is debuting its first POWER RANGERS collection with a kid targeted MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS toy line in 2025.
They're working on a children's line, not the whole thing. Hasbro will still be working with the IP for a more collectors market.
 
Iron Wariorr reveals a colored TFP Bumblebee (fucking FINALLY) I'm digging it. But it dosent transform so heads up to anyone who isn't into those types of figures. Screenshot_20250108_184317_Instagram.jpgScreenshot_20250108_184320_Instagram.jpg
He's cute.
 
AMT-02 Prediking looks like it could have potential. King Exkaiser looks good so far, more information should be released in March. January 17-19 JSPARK Zone should be showing off Transformers x Macross 7 Basara Prime

I had never gone to a 4DX movie before the TFOne fan event and brought my whole family, so that was an experience.
so... a lot of screams? i never expected it to be that intense, it's an hour and a half roller coaster ride.
 
Its interesting when you realize that the Transformers One version of Sentinel is literally the Cybertronian version of Dylan Gould from Dark of the Moon, both are annoying douchebag types who sold out their own race to a race of incredibly hostile aliens.
Selling out your race to hostile aliens? Must be a politician 🤔
