Yup, you read that right, the Toddfather got the Transformers license from Hasbro. That's a pretty big deal given that they are the license holders for DC which was once held by Hasbro's biggest industry rival, Mattel. And now after all these years, toys from both Hasbro and DC will be in the very same toyline called Page Punchers.
Ok, so to rewind it back and give you all the info, the McFarlane toy company has been more mainstream than ever before, with them releasing a few lines found on toy aisles at the largest retailers in America. With the DC license, Mcfarlane has a subline called the Page Punchers line where a figure is releases with a comic. The figures are in both the 3 inch and 7 inch scale. And at the New York Toy Fair, it was revealed that the Page Punchers line in the 3 inch scale would now also have Transformers and GI Joe figures.
The ones showed at the fair (where no pictures were allowed) were Duke, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander and Crimson Guard for GI Joe and Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, Megatron and Bumblebee for Transformers. These where also packed with IDW comics but it is unknown if that is just a placeholder comic as what was shown was not final.
