Honestly, what kind of name is DK-23 BREAKER, are we in StarWars or something like that??? I know that is the original DIACLONE number of designation, but c'mon, that was 40+ years ago! Why couldn't they just give him a a proper name, just like Takara has been doing with all the DIACLONE repaints lately? I believe that MOTORMOUTH, like the Generation2 Go-bot character, would be a perfect name for this one? That would be a logical option, in my humble opinion.

Hi @Corn Viper friend, I would like to be honest with you, but I do not have any high hopes for the new live-action Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie. The info about the script/story is also very different from from what happened with the BUMBLEBEE movie. Y'now, the studio should have already released a trailer, but they haven't. So, with previous experiences, I believe that not everything is going well in that post-production process. Who knows, maybe I am wrong, but I have that bad feeling. Like I belive that PRIME will become PRIMAL, or else, I really hope they don't do that. Greetings 👍

At the end of the day, this note means a lot, but also leaves everything in the air. Speaking of the TRANSFORMERS franchise, it has seen a lot of good figures being produced in the last few years, but as the Christmas' eve is approaching, the Transformers' stuff available today in the stores is of lower quality, with less quantities production, distribution issues due to all time scalpers and, to top the situation, SUPER HIGH PRICED toys, that only the average adult collector MAY BE ABLE to acquire, only if it's worth the price. TRANSFORMERS memorabilia is running in circles, again and again, as there has not been any innovative stuff like it was 20 or 10 years ago. By example, almost all the toys back then could incorporate lights and sounds in their design, that could justify its price; Today, those features are "cost prohibited". Today, HASBRO's marketing team prefer to design, cheap plastic, hollowed designed parts, smaller sized versions of transformers toys, that are more expensive than before, and only looking forward to relieve on hardcore fans' nostalgia, to get sold. Meanwhile, the Chinese and Japanese markets, are designing and producing some really good collectible stuff, that justify the toy's price, and even, are making upgraded versions of previously produced figures, with much better quality, than their occidental counterparts. Geez! , only take a look at ALL THOSE UPGRADE KITS that are sold to improve the Hasbro's Transformers, since 10 years ago. Bad quality equals lower demand, even if they are aimed as collector's collectibles. You want quality, just watch those smaller third party companies like NECA, STORM COLLECTIBLES, SUPER 7, and more. Hasbro, your glory days are long gone. What a shame.
