Reading any message board will show that while fans love the Transformers brand and celebrate it, they are often unhappy with how certain aspects are handled. And what usually follows is how it might be better if the brand was handled by someone else. Well, how about Elon Musk? On one of his recent rants, he showed major displeasure towards Hasbro's apparent disregard for the creators of Dungeons and Dragons in the 40th anniversary making of DnD book. He then followed that by "How much is - Read More

Since the film division was not working out (several of their bigger investments were not profitable, including Transformers One), it was sold and now we have confirmation from Bloomberg that Hasbro will stop investing in films, Transformers or otherwise. For us fans, that - Read More

It came up when he mentioned that private citizens performed a spacewalk and thus maybe Armageddon was not entirely regarding private citizens in space:
"Michael Bay, we owe you and apology
