Light our darkest hour!! Here it is folks, the Matrix of Leadership can finally light up your entire collection. Talk about a must have to anyones Transformers collection! 😅
Lets dive into the Matrix and talk about all the cool features! Yes, Stan Bush’s official You Got the Touch song blasts out the speaker when you open the Matrix. The front half sphere of the crystal ball twists open to reveal the AA battery box, you will need 3 batteries (not included) to ignite the energon spark. But, if you don’t want to drain your energon batteries, you can plug in a USB-C cord (not included) in the secret back compartment to keep the energon spark on all day, all night, for however long you keep it plugged in! ⚡️
Once you pop those batteries in and flip the switch, you can then press and hold the back toggle orb to hear those sweet organs from when HotRod catches the Matrix out of Prime’s dying hands 👀! Oh the tingle of joy that washes over you as you see the energon ✨ twinkle.
For those of you who want to open the Matrix without the Stan man telling you, you got special hands, you can double press the toggle and go to silent mode and just admire the mesmerizing sequence of lights my man Peter worked on! Shout out to my man Luke and Marcelo on the rodimus illustration on the side of pack!
This baby is up for preorder NOW! Celebrate the anniversary everyone! Special moment in time for all of us fans! ❤️ My cybertronian heart has been poured into every detail, every color, every bit of energon, sweat, and oil I have for this brand!
I fear the wounds are fatal…Prime 😭 you cant die…do not greve, soon I will be one with the matrixxxxx!!!!

They claim it's made of plastic that can't be painted.

I like everything about the new Cyclonus, but the exhaust ports at the back. What an odd choice. At least the new Cyclonus will not look like he peed down his legs.

While that is true, there are better ways to say that. People do have a right to dislike an item.

And...there it is. Toxic Positivity. Far be it for him to give a critique of the state of things. Just buy all the slop and be grateful you have slop to buy. Don't expect us to produce quality for your hard earned cash, don't have standards. The problem is, people will take this advice and then you'll cry when they make nothing because they don't realize why the fan base isn't buying. The only message you send with simply not buying is "this is something you should stop making entirely"

If Hasbro is to rationalize that it's okay that the alt modes are crappy because fans only care about the Bot mode then they might as well just made it a double changer and made 1 decent alt mode. Just keep him as either a tank or jet. To milk it, just sell both. At least give us one good alt mode I stead of 2 turds.

So is it an actual tour that I can go to, or a theoretical event that only exists online?
That is NOT Siege Astrotrain. That is an entirely new mold. Siege Astrotrain didn’t have a tail fin. It’s a retool. Not a straight repaint.
