    Price Hikes = fewer purchases from me. Used to get almost everything. Been cutting down a lot with rising prices.

    Considering Hasbro will NEVER lower costs since fans buy it up regardless, they'll increase it slightly, make massive budget costs, and hollow out/shrink the toys further and further.

    And as always, Despite admitting to purely wanting higher profit margins, people, later on, will claim poor Hasbro is barely managing to get us figures.

    All that's known is that it films in early spring and Jason Reitman is attached.

    It sounds like, based on interviews, that McKenna Grace (Phoebe) and Ernie Hudson are in discussions with Reitman.

    A bit off topic but ayo, that's pretty cool to see Indiana Jones 5 confirmed, I hope the guys working on it do a good job, that shit was my childhood.

    I could be wrong but wasn't it supposed to be a some sort of prequel film that took place on cybertron?

    The info we have about it is a Cybertron prequel (prequel to Transformers not a specific universe) and should focus on Optimus and megatron growing to be enemies or something along those lines.

    The fact G.I. Joe isn’t included on the brand list is concerning, to say the least.

    Not surprised. The last 2 GI joe movies were bombs and even rise of cobra was panned. GI joe is very much a 80s/90s brand. Its lost alot of relevancy IMO

    If that's still the plot of the movie I'm definitely more interested in that than ROTB. I think if written well Optimus & Megatron's story could be vey interesting to see on the big screen, and could be a great gateway for new fans to get into the franchise. Then again that's what I was hoping the netflix show would be, and we all know how that turned out.

    The movies were panned because they were poorly written. No one wants to watch a bad film, especially when there aren’t giant fancy robots running around.

    Why is it concerning, didn't Hasbro announce today that they renewed their Paramount deal for both Transformers and G.I. Joe? Plus the Classified line is selling well, at least in the USA and had one of the best performing Haslab campaigns to date.

    Knowing how people have leaked a lot of the Marvel trailers recently (just saw a Tiktok of someone showing off the Quantumania trailer yesterday), I wouldn't be shocked if somehow someone recorded it.

    I’m holding out hope based on nothing but my desires, that it is sequel to the 86 animated movie. Keep it 2D animated, soundtrack by modern synth wave and metal acts and introduce new worlds and factions that will freshen up the franchise like the original 86 movie did.

    Really? They still can't show us a damn trailer!? Ffs, I'd take some concept art at this point. All we have is an idea of whst Optimus and Bumblebee look like and a vague idea of what Primal looks like.

    I actually really liked Rise of Cobra. So did my wife. Yeah, it pretty much ignored 80% of the lore but it was a fun movie if you left your brain back at the butter popcorn machine...

    As much as RoC was panned, I would have liked to have seen the sequel build on that at least. Instead, they tossed RoC aside and went for GIJoe on the run...another confounding movie but with less fun.

    Snake Eyes was a Storm Shadow movie that had to be a Snake Eyes movie. If Snake Eyes had been the false antagonist with an origin closer to his lore, the movie would have been great being the Storm Shadow: Origins movie it REALLY wanted to be.

    Anyone else read "Untitled Transformers Animated Theatrical Movie." And read it with a glint of hope as "Untitled "Transformers Animated" Theatrical Movie.

    Not showing Power Rangers as part of their bigger, better brands sounds bleak...the only way it would be worse is if you are a Zoids or god forbid Micronauits fan whose had the carrot of a new animated series and movie dangled for over a decade now.
