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

Oh boy, here we go.

I’m talking about this guy. He’s an 18y/o man that has dedicated its entire online existence to LARPing as shockwave while acting as the complete opposite of how he’d act. It does not even bother to separate himself from the retarded iteration of the scientists he has come up with, genuinely obsessive.​

He is also E-dating a 16y/o Mexican girl. I doubt she even knows how it looks like irl, she doesn’t acknowledges him as a separate entity too. Creepy as fuck.

He’s quite big on TikTok (20k), it seems acting like a complete moron gets you a decent amount of followers.

Tell me what you all think.

Anyone who simps/ openly idolizes Decepticon characters are IMMEDIATELY red flags in my book. Avoid at all costs. It's fictional Ted Bundy syndrome. Or a fictional case of 'I can fix him'. All I know is that these fuckers have skeletons in their closet and they should be avoided. This can apply to most traditional villain characters, in my observation over the years.

I managed to snag some old TF school supplies from a surplus store recently. They're for goodie bags for a charity run our church is doing. Kids'll enjoy that; they're the true (and best) clientele.

It's such a mistake and it scares me a bit. They need to renegotiate that Disney deal. Nobody wants the majority of the Star Wars and Marvel products Hasbro makes. Hasbro needs full control of what characters to make without Disney telling them what to make or else get out of the deal. More Darth Vaders, no more Reevas.

As long as TakaraTomy is still making Transformers, we might be OK. They can just do what they want and Hasbro can distribute it in the West.

we could rebuild the twin towers with reeva figures at this point.

I just dont understand how a company like hasbro, who in the past was able to reinvigorate their toylines just decides not to, especially with the solution is painted out in plain english

1.better pricing
2. better qa
3. better materials
4. Make toys of well written characters people would be interested in buying.

Toys are VERY MUCH still popular, even among kids, and if they put the slightest bit more effort into actually writing kids content instead of thinly veiled manchild bait they might actually be able to make more long term fans (potentially decades long term income).

You wont get that unless Hasbro goes private. They have to make their shareholders money. They tried to lie to them last time and got sued for it.

The villain simpers are pretty bad but the people who want to treat them as the good guys in the franchise or see them as "heroic Marxist progressive revolutionaries" are worse.

What lie did they give to the shareholders? Was it the overproduction of MTG cards or a different issue?

They lied about how well their company was doing and excessive inventory across the board

The core of the complaint highlights that Hasbro misrepresented the quality of its inventory, suggesting that high inventory levels were a result of strong consumer demand. Conversely, the lawsuit claims these levels actually indicated an oversupply amidst declining market demand, which may have led to substantial investor losses.

It's sad that Earthspark failed because, even if the show was mediocre culture war ragebait, it had great toys and robots. I hope these get released; heavy jet Megatron as well as Thrash and Twitch were excellent. Stealth jet Soundwave looks great (when's the last time we got a stealth jet Transformer?) and the purple truck has a really smooth alt mode. I just wish classic car Arcee got released as well as that race car character.
