I'd say once they did the whole revamped storyline in 2018 or whenever it was was when it got really bad, though 2017 wasn't that good either, but still better than the new stuff.

the old Marvel USA ones were pretty cool, they were my jam back in the day and I wasn't really into the cartoon much, especially with the whole "wake up early on a non-school day" thing
I've only glanced at the Marvel UK ones but they seem to be pretty interesting in their own little island (so to speak)
also UK is featuring some of the early appearances of everyone's favorite Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, yes?

I used to wake up or stay up until 3am to watch Three Stooges and the Honeymooners myself. Then cartoons would start at 7am, end at 10am and start again at 12pm till 2pm here.
You mean Deaths Head? Yes.

Battletrap is looking pretty good from the new movie.
Rather like both modes, even the colour isn't too bad and I don't like yellow. Another mold to get multiples of to paint up and customize.
So far they're two for two with designs that I like.

Wasn't a fan of Earthrise. The character designs are off putting and Optimus Prime's face makes me want to cry.

I meant Earthspark. The designs of the Transformers is below subpar and the story is basically meh.

I honestly don't get why people are worshipping this show when it's not even that memorable outside of the "unique" concept of the war between Autobots and Decepticons finally being over, and the representation that feels more like the writers are wacking you with a stick saying "HEY LOOK IT'S LGBT BUY OUR TOYS".
They also fucked up Swindle's head sculpt, which I still believe to be a hate crime.

Masterpiece Trailbreaker. Not a fan of this at all. It looks like some low end knockoff. Not an official figure.

MP figures really dropped off after their MSRP became consistently over 150 dollars and rapidly inflated to fucking $300-$500 for a bit. I still wish I was able to afford the Masterpiece figures from before that time when they were going for a "realistically detailed but toon accurate" thing, saw a used masterpiece coronation Starscream used for 80 in a hobby shop a few months back, nobody's bought him yet and they jammed a used version of the new optimus in front of him. If I had a bit more money I might've splurged on it but I kinda got fucked over by the Mindbender/Serpentor double whammy. There is NO WAY IN HELL I could afford the fucking new "toon accurate" coronation Starscream that they decided to make a one time promo item for if you bought not one but THREE $300 figures that are all repaints of each other. It's like at some point they stopped just trying to make decent figures and instead just milk people off hype alone. Serpentor and Mindbender are lesser examples of this, as they aren't past the $100 mark, but the fact MAIN CHARACTERS in Gi Joe got relegated to "one time online event pre-order exclusives" with an absurd markup for a few extra accessories really shows where we are in terms of how shitty these companies are handling their collector lines.

Saw this earlier and goddamn if they're trying to distance themselves from the Bay films...they're doing a class act in how not to do it.
Prime has a mouth again AND the two swords from the second film, Scourge looks boring as hell (oh, his face is the Terrocon symbol, because he wasn't enough of a fucking edgelord type character from what we've been told), Mirage is...Jazz, for some reason, and the ending being a big epic battle in the middle of nowhere with a big alien thing in the background also feels very ROTF.
It's going to be a glorious disaster and one I hope permanently severs the partnership between Paramount and Hasbro, like what SHOULD have happened after The Last Knight.

As long as it makes another billion it wont. All we can hope for is the world shutting down again so no one can see it in theatres

Watched the trailer, it doesn't look bad, but not as good as Bumblebee. I'll actually give this a shot. I see that Arcee has Animated Arcees looks in terms of design.
Odd seeing one of the Dragons from Prime. Good to see Sandstorm, but Leader is huge for him. I guess he'll have an accessory.
