This week Brian loves Iguanus. And old video games. But mostly Iguanus.

Transformers Tuesday – First Look at Core Class Iguanus and Skywarp

This week: It's 2022, for reals. That means it's our annual prediction show! One already came true, though. Toy Fair is canceled. Again.

News:

* Toy Fair Canceled

* RFC News Desk 155 – Happy News Year!

* MPG-02 Getsuei Officially Revealed

On the RFC News Desk today...

-Chris Cocks is named as the new CEO of Hasbro, succeeding the late Brian Goldner.

-A collection of stock image-related leaks!

--New Authentics toys are on the way, seen in stock images provided by Jtprime, including some reused Rescue Bots merchandise! Will these be replaced the Alpha and Bravo lines for 2022?

--Our first look at Core Class Studio Series 86 Exosuit Spike Witwicky. It's just packaging images, but it's looking promising at this early point.

--Our first leaked look at the second Masterpiece Trainbot, Getsuei. Official information seems to be due on January 13th. Start putting in your bets on the SRP for this one!

--And In Demand Toys has dropped a batch of Legacy, Buzzworthy Bumblebee, and Coronation Starscream stock images. We've reproduced the whole bunch here, but the ones that matter are Galvatron, and maybe Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper's certain to be just an error with the production sample, but Galvatron may be a more interesting situation...

It's our annual year in review show! We recap the news of the year, review our predictions for 2021, and share with you our best and worst toys and news items of the year!

RFC News Desk 154 – Buzzworthy is Back. Again.

Studio Series Bumblebee Series Arcee

From an unidentified shop in Taiwan, we've got first looks at the next Deluxe assortment for Buzzworthy Bumblebee, consisting of at least three Studio Series releases. B-127 comes back around, now using an alternate unmasked head, Studio Series 86 Kup is back again, now in a deco variant designed to look more accurate to animation with and opaque window and some color tweaks, and Earthrise Cliffjumper is now a Studio Series toy as well, since he was in the movie too. Cliffjumper gets grey limbs and opaque windows to be as cartoon accurate as possible - and even gets his own Studio Series product number: 86 13. That's the next in sequence after Coronation Starscream in the regular assortment, which opens up all kinds of interesting questions about the next unrevealed waves of Studio Series, doesn't it?

This week: Super7 has raised the stakes. An official eleven-inch Alligaticon. The best G2 Megatron ever. And I guess Tarn is nice too.
