NEWS
00:15:43 Machinima Titans Return
The new Titans Return Machinima series is almost here - cower in fear, humans! If you didn’t really like their Combiner Wars series then we don’t think Machinima cares.
They’ve released a new poster.
And it turns out Combiner Wars (which we’ve been saying can’t be seen anywhere) has reappeared on Hasbro’s YouTube channel.
00:23:58 Power of the Primes
Two items this week on POTP with a look at Hasbro press images for Starscream coming up. Before we get into that though, we also saw news this week that preorders for the first wave are live and stock is expected to ship in December.
