After much speculation about there the MP-60 trailer was, Takara TOMY rolls out another retailer solicitation that reveals the MPG-09 Super Ginrai that includes the full cab and trailer. However, there is still part 3 to be realized with God Bomber to make God Ginrai. Surely, this is in the works as well. - Read the Full News Story

That conflicts with the news of Project Knight being a Star Wars crossover.

If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story

Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?

EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.

It has been an overly underwhelming 4 weeks of fan streaming especially labeling it as a celebration of the 40th anniversary. I would be more interested in a report out 1 year for now on how much money Hasbro lost on their anniversary coins. That would be a ton more interesting than what I saw the last month.

Hasbro designer @markclonus sets his sights for his behind the scenes feature on the Transformers Legacy Target Optimus and Cadet Bullseye that were just announced. Get the inside deets on this heavily branded Target exclusive pack for a delivery that is somewhat ironic considering how many orders Target has cancelled. - Read the Full News Story

Sandstorm is one of the late G1 triple changers that had an interesting story ark in Season 3 of the cartoon. The figure balances the toon and toy aesthetics right down to the toy accurate head. The transformation between the three forms is the smoothest I've experienced from the recent triple updates but the chest in robot mode has an issue locking into place on my copy. You could gamble waiting for a release with the animation-accurate head but no guarantee it will see the light of day. Sandstorm is a good figure in a wave with some great releases.

I just had to go back and look at how the Takara TOMY MIssing Link C-01 compares side by side with the original 1984 version. What used to be my favorite 2018 Transformers Retro Optimus Prime Walmart exclusive, with the BTS-03 Matrix of Leadership upgrades, steps aside for the shiny new articulated C-01 Convoy from Takara TOMY. - Read the Full News Story
