Since America is some time behind us, their April Fools day gags only really surface here a day later, and as such, it is harder to pick out the real news from the fake news.
This one was posted on the Official Hasbro Transformers facebook page, alerting us that there was a technical issue with the recent Combiner Wars voting (on the Official App), and that they had to resort to releasing a back-up combiner... Reflector (https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/811433335593529/?type=1&theater).
When I first saw the image late last night in the dark on a small screen, I didn't see the hashtag at the bottom of the image... so I was somewhat interested. But I was also feeling bad for all the people who had voted, who would now feel cheated. Fortunately a few comments on some fansites pointed out the hashtag, and I felt mostly relieved for those who voted, and a little disappointed for myself at the brief joy of finally having a proper homage Reflector toy(s).
How weird is that. :confused:
