    We should allow zetca to post in here, but have anything he posts in the thread shadow banned for maximum hilarity.

    &

    You ain't even kiddin'. I was watching an EmGo review and in the comments, a person said "my dad still has the OG BW toys" and that hit so hard. HARD. Like taking Thor's Mjolnir to the sternum. Now, 10th-anniversary reissues of Prime? Geez.

    OR... Zetca's already been removed from this thread and the staff's decision stands and we all just let it be. That includes not taunting Zetca.

    Or let them and the mods will finally get fed up and take appropriate action.

    Regardless of whether or not their "leaks" were legit (seemed to be 50/50, but I gave only a glance at the thread at that point because disaster) it did seem like people enjoyed dogpiling on, and having been on both sides of dogpiling (both being the victim and part of the mob), it sucks and is demeaning and makes a person feel awful. Especially over toys. Granted, Zetca has a knack for being incredibly rude to people (I've seen people complain about it, I personally haven't seen all of their posts so I can't make a judgment one way or the other) and that can lead to the dogpiling, but... Perhaps we needn't rattle cages and poke bears. We have a leak thread 2.0 and it's working. Let's just be happy and stop pissing in each other's Cheerios.

    Considering he was making separate threads before the ban, and he was mostly banned for his attitude,
    I highly doubt that.

    so what are the confirmed details on 2022 figs? Not who, but things like how King Starscream is an Earthrise retool.

    Someone compile those details

    Right?! I was going into the 8th grade when I finally decided to give TF Prime a chance summer 2011. It's crazy that it's been 10 years. Even crazier that the first movie came out 14 years ago, as it feels like we just celebrated the 10th anniversary not too long ago.

    Nothing yet, unfortunately.

    Not entirely sure how accurate all of this is and I'm definitely missing stuff, so @BlackHawkOmega, @wreckgar39, or anyone else can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    Tarantulas is a new mold.
    Blaster (who will be a voyager) is getting a retool in the form of Project Jam, which isn't a Space Jam crossover and is instead with a real-world band.
    Straxus is a new mold, but may share engineering with Galvatron.
    Prime Optimus and Bulkhead are somehow sharing a mold.
    Blitzwing will be a Leader, Siege/ER Astrotrain-style.

    Blaster is a crossover with some irl band and voyager
    I was told voyager Straxus or Leader Dark Mount, it was later clarified to be Leader. I was told new mold, but I could also see a case of shared engineering with Galvatron. Think CW Dead End to TR Chromedome.
    Otherwise accurate.

    I’m not doubting Hasbro could pull it off, but I’m legit wondering how these two very different designs are going to be able to share a mold. 6C162020-C11E-45DC-ADAD-BE5567364613.jpeg 14D4D0A2-429D-43A4-BFC9-7CB4B5D88F29.jpeg

    Curious if the Hot Rod redeco is still thought to be SG with the SG line running. Maybe the first SG listing from a new capsule?

    I'm not understanding the vehemence with which Zetca is treated. Even our most trusted leakers aren't right 100% of the time. I say if he wants to provide his services let him. What do we have to lose?

    Good grief, it still feels like it came out yesterday. That was my first Transformers series I was really into. I still consider it the best.

    Based on what I've seen it was mostly the attitude with which they responded when critiqued/questioned
