Transformer Origins

The history of Transformers is something that proves, in an odd way, how interconnected the toy world used to be. Or, to put it in simpler terms: Blame everything on G.I. Joe. That always works. Launched in 1980 by Japanese toy company Takara Toys, the Diaclone line was made up of robots that transformed into…

ABC’s Blast Of Brown Matter Is Hard To Clean Up

Impact, the ABC miniseries that premiered last night, made a couple of convincing cases: that a “brown dwarf” hitting the Moon could doom humanity. And that these self-centered, vapid, sniveling humans completely deserve obliteration. Spoilers ahead. I have to say Impact’s greatest achievement was making me appreciate The Core anew. Not that I need much…
