About this deal

As the cast fills up with more and more new characters, the need for filler dude generics has shrunk. But sometimes we still see one or two! Cog, the partner to an unseen Fortress Maximus, died heroically in Earthrise, but his palette-swapped clones still hang out with the Autobots. The blue Cog was originally paired with the blue Fortress Maximus, the red Grand Cog was paired with the red Grand Maximus, but there’s also a third, green Cog who shows up frequently in crowd scenes! His presence implies the existence of a green Fortress Maximus.

Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom Core

The last chapter of War for Cybertron left viewers wondering how Galvatron obtained the Voyager Golden Record that he was trying to pass off to Megatron. Would you believe … from one of the two Voyager probes? It’s crazy, we know! Beast Wars Scorponok was a pretty forgettable also-ran henchman, so it’s honestly no real loss that in Kingdom he’s a generic. The real tragedy is that we never see Scorponok’s little claw pal, Cyberbee! There’s so many Scorponoks and yet zero Cyberbees. It’s a crime. We have “Code of Hero” at home Image: NetflixIncludes Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom Leader Class figure, accessories, Golden Disk card, and instructions. In Beast Wars, Rattrap was a wise-talking, ill-mannered saboteur with a Brooklyn accent. In Kingdom, Rattrap is played pretty much the same way, probably owing to Rattrap’s voice actor, Frank Todaro, who’s also been voicing a pretty good Starscream in War for Cybertron’s trilogy. Todaro’s been in Transformers fandom forever, so it makes sense!

We see Menasor! (He’s the combined form of the Stunticons, who do not appear in this trilogy.) Image: Netflix This Optimus Prime collectible figure stands at the new Core Class scale! The 3.5-inch mini-figure allows fans to collect a mini version of the iconic character to pose out with other Optimus Prime figures at larger scales! (Each sold separately, subject to availability.) The transforming Ark robot is the largest toy in the Kingdom toyline, and so yes obviously it was going to show up in Kingdom, just as Omega Supreme and Scorponok showed up respectively in Siege and Earthrise. But a deeper reference is who Hasbro designed the Ark robot to resemble: the Last Autobot, the Autobot symbol-faced demigod who appeared in the last two issues of the original Marvel comic book series. Image: IDW When the Autobots and Decepticons meet up with the Maximals and Predacons on Earth in Kingdom, Beast Megatron has the Golden Disk already. So how does Beast Megatron get the disk? Why, the same way he got it in the original Beast Wars — he stole it. B

Includes a Golden Disk card that reveals a possible destiny of a key character. Collect other Kingdom figures to reveal all 3 alternate destiny variants for each character! Dinobot even gets to call him “vermin” once, even though the two never speak otherwise. Sometimes Beast Wars fans get fan service, too. Beast Megatron, no Image: Netflix Includes Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom Core Class Optimus Prime figure, 1 accessory, and instructions. Beastify the battlefield! Worlds collide when the Maximals and Predacons join the fight, coming together with the Autobots and Decepticons in an epic battle that will alter their destiny forever. Well, why is anything important? Because it happened before, OK? When we were five years old. Image: Netflix

Beast Megatron steals the disk for the same reason he did in the original series: because long ago G1 Megatron encoded information on the disk that gave information on how to change history and alter the course of the war in the Decepticons’ favor! And so Beast Megatron and his Predacons stole the disk and also a ship that could travel in time (they just leave those out and about in Cybertron’s future), they were followed by Optimus Primal and his Maximals, and both factions crash landed on prehistoric Earth. They’re from the future and know a lot about history Image: Netflix

In Beast Wars, G1 Megatron’s face is reflected in the disk as he’s encoding a message in it while in deep space. It’s absolutely shameless, but you can tell it was written under the throes of Dinobot Fever, which is a malady I also suffer from. So I give it all four of Dinobot’s thumbs up. A+ Dinobot pandering, would binge again. Oh wait, there’s still more ’80s stuff! Image: Netflix BEASTIFY THE BATTLEFIELD: Unleash the primal power of the beasts with the ancient and highly advanced F.O.S.S.I.L. technology. Sentient Fossilizer bots, infused with primordial energy, break apart and weaponize their allies. Use Deluxe Fossilizer figures to beastify this figure with epic bone armor accessories! (Each sold separately, subject to availability.) In a major departure from most Generation One Transformers retellings, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and their double crew of warring robots actually survive their double crash on prehistoric Earth! They just get up off the floor easy as they please, rather than taking a four million year nap. Nobody even wore a seatbelt. Remember when I gushed over Dinobot at the end of my writeup for Earthrise? Well, my gushing was well-founded! I think the folks behind Kingdom also gush a little over Dinobot, and it shows, and so a lot of episode 3 felt very me-targeted. I am the intended audience.

GOLDEN DISK CARDS REVEAL POSSIBLE DESTINIES: Includes a Golden Disk card that reveals a possible destiny of a key character. Collect other Kingdom figures to reveal all 3 alternate destiny variants for each character! True to form, the good guys arrive too late around Dinobot’s dying body, the Predacon turncoat having wrestled the Matrix of Leadership away from Megatron, and the Autobots and Decepticons give him their last respects as he shuffles off towards the Transformers Afterlife. It’s just like Dinobot’s death in “Code of Hero” except Prowl and Sideswipe are also there! Image: NetflixEntertainment News International (ENI) is the #1 popular culture network for adult fans all around the world. What I’m saying is that green Cog’s name is obviously Christmas Cog. Spoiler Toys III Photo: David Willis This is wrong! It’s so wrong that even Optimus Prime’s Matrix-less chassis starts throwing a fit and showing him images of the way things were supposed to be. The ’90s Rhinox was many things — big, strong, an incredibly smart tech wizard, clever, compassionate — he’d seem like he had too many stats maxed out if he had any ambition at all. He’s just quietly good at stuff! And loudly good at stuff, if the situation required. Unleash the primal power of the beasts with the ancient and highly advanced F.O.S.S.I.L. technology. Sentient Fossilizer bots, infused with primordial energy, break apart and weaponize their allies. Use Deluxe Fossilizer figures to beastify this figure with epic bone armor accessories! (Each sold separately, subject to availability.)
