I wonder if these will be G1 based... or movie tie-ins.

Could be either or. I've seen Star Wars Angry Birds, so I kinda know what to expect here: Big Red as Optimus Prime and the King of Pigs as Megatron.

I'll no doubt skip the merch... but might get a game on a whim. I've never played the original or Star Wars versions. If cheap, might try it.

Angry Birds Star Wars is brilliant, Rovio did a great job of capturing the characters and turning them into their own birds and pigs.

So I have a lot of faith in them doing Transformers justice. Can't wait for them!

Get ready for the usual complaints:

"Hasbro is destroying themselves by making all this stupid crap that nobody wants. It's a waste of precious, precious plastic and will ruin the entire franchise. Remember the 80s, when Hasbro ONLY made high-quality figures for collectors and there was no cheap licensed merch?"

"These are for stupid babies. My 2-year-old nephew even thinks these are too simple for him. These toys aren't even helping kids learn calculus or anything!"

You want to die of alcohol poisoning don't you?


Eh, I'll wait and see, I enjoy Angry Birds and I like Transformers, so I'll stay optimistic.

Let me try saying this again:

It is highly unlikely that any toy news before the New York Toy Fair (16-19 February) will be about the main lines of toys for 2014/15. Hasbro is like that, they keep all their stuff secret until big US events.

I know, it's a big tease, but that's how it is! :-(

Yep, the International Toy Fair in New York next month is where they will roll out the big guns for 2014. Followed by more reveals at BotCon, SDCC 2014, and NYCC 2014. Just be patient it's just two weeks away!

And the biggest event for this stuff will be SDCC, BotCon gets to see a lot of stuff first, but SDCC is where the general public will get to see them, plus more on top.
So be patient, you'll have to wait till SDCC to get to see the really good stuff.

Actually, I wonder about that. The film will be coming out almost a month before the con - so most film releases might be shown in New York and at BotCon. Especially as the latter ends three days before the film is released in some countries, and four before it shows in the US.

Oh look, people complaining about people complaints.
"Geez, people complaining in comments are so boring. Look at me, I'm complaining about complains, i'm so cool".

"Toys must be simple because 12 years old can't tie their own shoes. Why kids today don't know how to spell properly? Geez why people like justin bieber?. Why my son is so stupid? Where I got it wrong? It must be junk food."

I <3 you GuyIncognito! Please complain about me complaining your complaints about complainers so I can complain about it too.

Plus: Plastic is derivated from petrol, wich I think is really precious, as USA "democratizes" every country that has it.
