Any artists who are considered "problematic" by oversensitive people are doing it right. However, supporting NFTs is deserving of a one way ticket to Hell.

I would argue Tara Strong is not even remotely doing it right, but sure.

Also, the Travis Knight thing is the reason Cullen actually hates Jon.

I feel like I'm missing something here....Well a few things really

The way the story seems to have fallen, Travis Knight was not going to use Peter Cullen in Bumblebee, but then he got really upset, or someone got really upset on his behalf, and then it was found that he actually despises people impersonating his version of Prime, and when he did record, something happened with Knight to make him more pissy.

I am not 100% sure on those details, but that is general outline I've gathered.

Thanks D-Max, seems a very awkward situation.

While a cinematic trailer was released for the Transformers Reactivate game, which seems to be a live service game ala Warframe, we haven't had more info on it since. Well, the question was asked to a Hasbro Australia representative at a Transformers 40th Anniversary Event, in Australia, and this is what they said:

"it is highly anticipated and I know that fans are waiting for it to come out and be released. Hopefully in 2025, we will have more to show"

So we should expect nothing for the rest of the year. But the game is still coming out.

Clearly, they are taking their time and redesigning the characthers to be more Armada inspired.

Day 1606 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

So a wait till 2025 just to tell us the game isn’t moving forward Hope we get some more figures out of it at least

"But the game is still coming out."
Believe it when I see it.

I'm sure I won't play the game, as it's not a single-player game, so whether it comes out TODAY, 203X, or never is not my concern. It's all about the figures for me. The 2 2-packs are nice enough, but I still haven't bought them as I don't see it's an on-going line, as I don't want a "Reactivate" shelf with only 4 figures.

But I do wish the game succeeds for those that's into live-service games so Hasbro have the incentives to come out with more figures, and then I'll probably dip into the line.

Just hope they get further than Transformers Universe did with the game

I guess that explains why Hasbro pulled "Rise Lifeline" from 2024 Studio Series wave 3 (along with TLK Drift) leaving the Decepticon Soldier as the only new figure in the wave.

I wonder how Hasbro feels about this, surely it's had an impact on their plans for 2024 and 2025.

The live service trend is basically dying so unless they can pull a Helldiver 2 with this game, I have little hope.

As for the figures, they were only mid IMO. Not because of their looks, but because they were all fiddly to transform.

Let's wait and see how the rest develop.

I agree with this, though I can't comment on the released toys, to expensive for me, 70/80 euro's for a 2 pack is just, too much for characters I have 100 versions of already.

That live service nonsense model is absolute trash. Just make 1 good game, if it sells, which means people like the product, then make an addon or sequel. Not this whole buy a 70-120 dollar game, that's stripped to sh*t. The game will have like 3 different enemies, extremely repetitive uninspired missions set in a dead and empty world. And the "Season pass" which is just a curse word in my book, will consist of recolors and more of the exact same.

I hope I'm wrong since I want a new Transformers game. I played WFC and FOC to death and need something new .

Guys, imagine this: Elden Ring but with Transformers. (and I don't even care if it's 90% melee and 10% shooting)
