2026 is shaping up to be a fascinating year for Transformers toys.

I wrote a piece on six releases I’m personally excited about — all very different from the last!

Which upcoming 2026 toys are you most curious about?

One of the undeniable highlights of 2025 was seeing the classic '80s Arcee 'made real' in Missing Link.

But... what if they made Unicron? Would such a thing ever happen?

I've written a thing about the idea - LINK BELOW ⬇️

Would you be interested in a Missing Link G1 Unicron?

Merry Christmas, folks! Hope you're all out there having a grand old time, whether you're living it large or simply having a quiet one. Enjoy some robots and be good to yourself — you deserve it. x
Christmas-themed Transformers stories are surprisingly rare — but 'The Greatest Gift of All' has always stood out to me.

I’ve written about why this short Marvel UK strip still resonates -->

Would love to know if this story means as much to others.

For this festive special, Liam revisits Kenner’s Batman Returns toy line — a wildly imaginative, gloriously excessive slice of early ’90s Bat-history, and one of his favourite toy lines ever!

Holy cow, this is big news

The 1988 Powermaster Optimus Prime box is just stunning.

Bold, dramatic, and full of promise!

We spent a good chunk of our recent minisode talking about just how special this packaging felt.

Powermaster Optimus Prime comes in a few unforgettable flavours.

Which one's your fave?
• Hasbro 1988 PMOP
• Takara God Ginrai
• Nucleon Quest Super Convoy
• Fire Guts

We dig into PMOP — and why he feels so inseparable from Christmas — in our new minisode.
