Kidrobot Megatron & Cobra Commander Vinyl Review

One of the awesome goodies Matt at Nerd News Today and I were able to acquire at Toy Fair 2018 is the Kidrobot Megatron and Cobra Commander vinyl figures based off of IDW Comics "Transformers VS GI Joe" comic series by Tom Scioli and John Barber.

I'm not as familiar with the comic series, but I'm a big Transformers and GI Joe fan. I wouldn't have initially thought to combine Kidrobot with these franchises, but I was wrong. I love this style, and the boxes alone make me want to display them somewhere. Watch the video to see the rest of our thoughts on this.

Transformers Roll Out Album To Be Released

A bit of exciting Transformers news came out today. Hasbro Studios has teamed up with Sony Music Entertainment to bring us Transformers Roll Out, an alt-rock tribute album. I am muy excited about this. I love Transformers. I still have my old toys. Alt-rock fits the Transformers style perfectly. I think this is a great idea, and if it's successful, maybe we'll get some more tribute albums for beloved franchises.

First Images for Season Two of Hasbro's Transformers: Robots in Disguise

Yesterday Hasbro announced that Transformers: Robots in Disguise will be returning for Season Two! While we don't have any clips yet, check out these first images.

From the Hasbro Press Release:

Wanna build an Autobot?

Hasbro, Inc. announced their plans for the TRANSFORMERS 30th Anniversary this year. (Side note: A little sad I'm older than Transformers, even if its only a few months.) They are having fans vote on a new TRANSFORMER to join the current lineup. The winning Autobot or Decepticon will be revealed at this year's San Diego Comic Con. You have until May 5th to enter your choices!

The Questions from Hasbro's TRANSFORMERS vote

Yes, this is a ploy to increase sales but still, I love these fan based activities. This gives all of us fans, old and new, to be a small part of creation. Their questions aren't bad either, which helps a lot. I've kinda lost touch with TRANSFORMERS from my childhood, so I am excited to take part in this. I will also do my best to be on hand for the unveiling at SDCC. So go vote now and share your picks with us in the comments!
