Hehehe... I was just trying to remember where that was from, because I was going to post that Hasbro have essentially assured us that Kickback is coming, but I wasn't sure either where it was from. Definitely recent, so either NYCC or SDCC... or maybe even BotCon.

Looking again at the SDCC panel, it was only as recently as July that Hasbro were saying that the Deluxe toys would still have comics with them... so maybe the samples showing up in the last week are the non-American alternate packaging version. Or it was just a really last-minute cost-cutting measure.

Hopefully. I'm not exactly in a position to buy comics every month for the less than stellar prices here.

Hasbro/TT doing something for Beast Wars for 2016? Oh, you may get the odd bug here and there, maybe a cheetah or two... an elephant...perhaps a donkey if we're lucky.
We all know how the Thrilling 32 turned out as a homage to the 30th anniversary of the entire franchise, so I can't see them doing something earth shattering as a tribute to BW.

In the Chinese Lunar Calendar, 2016 is Year of the Monkey. There's a good omen if ever I've seen one.

Unfair. When will it be the year of the truck

[griffin]

Whenever Optimus is used in the toyline, it is always year of the Truck.

Then every year is the YotT?

Horrible, horrible ways Hasbro can ruin that for everyone because I am a sadist:

Platinum Edition Optimus Primal - RID air attack Optimus Primal with all the electronics taken out, colour scheme based on Universe (2004) Optimus Primal.

Platinum Edition Maximals Unleashed - Overpriced boxed set of the Universe and Generations Maximals toys so far released but in much better colour schemes than the already released figures so everyone ends up with dupes.

Generations Optimus Minor - 'nuff said.

Preferring to celebrate the anniversary of Beast Machines in 2019, with no releases of anything in 2016, but an entire range of exciting toys three years later all of which have visible heads in vehicle mode because fan-trolling.

A new Beast Wars cartoon series... from the same people who gave us Energon.

You're a monster...

You're a monster...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

One thing that would actually be cool:

A new Generations Beast Wars line but with each character based on the same techno-organic aesthetic of BW10th Megatron and Optimus Primal. Re-release Megs and Primal with the key gimmick replaced to round the line out.
