Hasbro 2010 TV News and Masterpiece Grimlock Update

I'm Stan Bush and I dare you to listen to All

Things Transformers with Steve Megatron and TFG1

Mike. This is All Things Transformers, episode

33. Hey folks, just wanted to give a little bit

of an episode, just because some news items have

come out since our last episode. And Steve is

losing his mind over there, doesn't know what

show we're doing. Well, because we're supposed

to do two shows today, not three. Well, this

is only going to take. This will be like, less

than. Less than ten minutes. I believe this will

probably be the shortest episode ever. No. Well,

yes it will. We had a four minute episode. Well

that must have been before I came. 16 Wasn't

it really? Yeah, because we recorded it four

times. Oh Well, I don't know if for some reason

when I talk there's feedback too just so you

know. Oh is there? Yeah. Feedback on my end.

I don't know. I turned all my levels down or

whatever. I don't know, at the lowest it's gonna

go without you not even being able to hear me.

So, anyway, Transformers returns to TV screens

in 2010. During a conference call on Hasbro's

earnings, Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner hinted that

Hasbro's three biggest properties, Transformers,

Dido, and My Little Pony, could be returning

to television in 2010. Goldner stated that they

intended to have a television support for all

three of these properties and that more details

are planned to be revealed at Hasbro's Investor

Day event November 5, 2009 at Hasbro's headquarters

in Rhode Island. So, you know, hey, if it comes

back to TV, great. If it doesn't, you know, whatever.

My question will be what shows would they start

with Generation 1 and then go all the way, you

know, just do the shows as progressive? I have

no idea. I don't know. I'm not really sure. Let's

see, the next item we have is... This is an unconfirmed

news story, so technically it is a rumor. According

to TFW, it has not been confirmed yet. Transformers

Revenge of the Fallen sells 4 million copies

on its first day. This is DVD sales. Nielsen

has posted... An update on Michael Bay's official

website regarding Transformers Revenge of the

Fallen's home release. On the first day of sale,

reports have come in that retailers from New

York, Houston, LA, Chicago, and Chicago have

completely sold out of Revenge of the Fallen

DVDs and Blu -rays. As if this was not enough,

Nelson reports that he has heard reports currently

unconfirmed that total unit sales for the first

day are in the region of 4 million copies of

Revenge of the Fallen being sold. Even though

technically that is a rumor as of now because

it obviously hasn't been the numbers haven't

been confirmed that doesn't surprise me Not really

I waited in line to get my copy Monday night

and that was 15 minutes after they pulled it

to the shelves Yeah, well I pre -ordered mine

and got it free so well, I'll have to pay for

it eventually through Columbia House, but I mean

I got it, what, let's say Thursday? Yeah, I got

it two days after the release day, which is more

than fine for me. You know, I got this condition

and it's really, really awesome. Let's see, the

only other item that I'm going to be bringing

up is this last one. Masterpiece Grimlock coming

to the U .S. in 2010. Animated RC released spring

of 2010. The Hasbro Q &A results are coming in.

And with them... a pretty big revelation about

the future of the Transformers Masterpiece line

in the U .S. Action Figure Insider has asked

the question about what Masterpiece Edition toys

will follow the release of Skyward and the answer

was, we are pleased to announce that the next

Masterpiece item that we will be releasing will

be Grimlock in 2010. We're excited to be able

to offer this item within the U .S. and will

certainly share more details as we get closer

to releasing it. Additionally, Raving Toy Maniac

received the release dates for the much -anticipated

Transformers animated RC and Cybertron mode ratchet.

According to the responses given, you can look

forward to finding these toys on the pegs in

spring of 2010." So that, you know, again, Michael

Wilson, as soon as the story went up, you know,

he's, he's, I told you it'd be spring 2010 because

we mentioned it in the last Toycast episode.

Which is fine. I mean, you know, at least they're

not making us wait until winter 2010, but still.

I want my animated toys now, damn it. Yeah, I

don't really give a rat's ass about the toys.

Yeah, you're not a toy collector. Yeah, I don't

collect any of them. But, you know, that's still

good news, you know, and maybe they'll, you know,

maybe summer of next year, we'll see Rodimus

and the rest of them. Honestly, really, I'm only

looking forward to picking up Transformers Animated,

Rodimus Minor, and RC. Other than that, I'm not

really interested in the other ones. Oh, okay,

well, there's the third one. Fugitive Wasp, only

because it's a repaint of the Deluxe Bumblebee.

but they put enough detail into it where he actually

has purple missiles, purple eyes, and I think

that'll be really, really cool. I didn't really

like the bug version of the animal waspinator.

I don't know, it just wasn't my style, but I

did like his original car design, so that was

pretty cool. So that, I guess, does it for all

things Transformers. See you next time! The following

outro is property of Ron Algar Watt of Algar

.com. He was generous enough to let me use it

here on All Things Transformers. This is TFG1

Mike. So here is Cliffjumper versus Unicron.

I'll be listening to all things Transformers,

till all are one. This is Stan Bush, signing

off.
