The Largest Transformer Ever Made, Until Metroplex Ruins Everthing
The late 80s was the best time to be a toy-obsessed child. Back then toy companies weren’t afraid to release a toy that looked like a gun, contained toxic paint or weighed more than the kids it was being marketed to. It was a time when Hasbro, a couple years after releasing a toy aircraft carrier that measured more than 2m in length, gave Transformers fans the largest official Transformers toy on the market for more than 25 years — Fortress Maximus.
The Greatest Comic Book Cover Ever Printed
Pretty sure I just had a heart attack. Coming exclusively to Transformers Botcon in San Diego from June 27-30, this variant cover for issue five of IDW’s My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic micro-series is artist artist Tony Fleecs’ way of reaching into my chest and grabbing hold of my heart with his ink-stained fingers.
I Am Completely In Love With This Hand-Made Star Trek Transformer Toy
Transformers are excellent toys — not only do you get a cool vehicle, but a combat-ready robot as well. Who’s going to be all negative about a two-in-one plaything?

The New Beast Wars Begin With Optimus Prime And Predaking
Hasbro is calling them Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters, but that’s not what I’m calling the upcoming third season of the animated series and the corresponding toys. A dragon that transforms into a robot and a red-and-blue figure that’s vaguely reminiscent of the original Optimus Prime? These are the new Beast Wars, my friends, and they’re pretty damn spiky.
Two Foot Tall Metroplex Makes My Transformers Dreams Come True This Fall
When I first discovered the titanic Autobot Metroplex would be making an appearance in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, I experienced a brief rush of excitement — maybe Hasbro would make a new proper Metroplex toy! They’d reused the name for a silly giant from the Transformers: Cybertron line, why not?
