The Energon Pub

There was a licensing expo last week and while no new actual Transformers toys would get revealed there, we did get new "Transformers theme" toys. In the list, and picture, of what is to come, we got new spherical plushies which have the likeness of Hasbro brands. So, below you can see one of the Red Ranger from MMPR and G1 Bumblebee. There were also new Transformers Monster Threads, which are Optimus and Bumblebee as big monster trucks with light up wheels. The info was found on toybook.com.

Money.... big tall piles of cash in licensing fees.

The answer is always money. Plus, those monster trucks look fun. If a parent was going to buy a monster truck for their kid, why not get this?

#1 rule of Transformer: MUST transform, no matter the cost!

It's merchandising. Does that mean we can't have licensed TF hoodies and t-shirts unless they transform?

If it's a vehicle, it HAS to transform. If it's a t-shirt or a stuffed animal, It doesn't. If it's something like this, I doesn't have to exist!

"IF IT'S A TRANSFORMER"

I mean, yeah, those are Transformers! Bumblebuzz and Optimising Prime - the same alien robo dudes we've always known!
I bet you think Action Masters don't count as Transformers anymore...

Action masters were crap, but the targetmasters we are now getting out of them are cool.
