I enjoyed the Transformers from time to time. They were introduced when I was 14, branded as Transformers. Not being one to care about where I got good story telling, I watch the G1 cartoons and enjoyed them. I never really had the toys, nor did I care to own them. I’ve been in an out of the citizens of Cybertron over the years. I enjoyed Beast Wars, and Transformers Prime. The new Netflix series, Transformers: War for Cybertron, looks very entertaining, and I’ll be all in on that one.
Hasbro Pulse has put up some great new toys for pre-order. I don’t have any expendable income otherwise I might actually pick a few of those up because they just look smashing. Now, full transparency, I am not a huge fan of Hasbro in general. They are lazy, and put out some pretty bad products (the “retro” G.I. Joe figures) or bundle items that customers don’t really want (Star Wars figures that come with board games?) as a cash grab. Having said that, I dig the reproduction Ghostbuster toys that are nearly impossible to find. When I find one, I will be picking up a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figure.
Here are a few of my favorite new Transformers from this year’s release…
