Hasbro saved their Beast for last, but did they miss the mark by a hair? Plus, Todd McFarlane wants you to think of AI as a tool—which is fitting, considering that's what a lot of people already think about Todd. And Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday is springing leaks faster than a screen door on a submarine. The latest glimpse of the super-secret project arrives courtesy of Hasbro's Titan and ActionVerse toy lines. It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

When Skybound announced M.A.S.K. would be joining the Energon Universe, fans immediately had questions. How would Matt Trakker and Miles Mayhem fit alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Out this week, we sat down with writer Dan Watters and artist Pye Parr to discuss updating the classic property, designing its iconic vehicles, and why M.A.S.K. offers a unique perspective within the larger Energon Universe. We're running the full uncut interview, featuring even more discussion on cool cars, character dynamics, action sequences, and what readers can expect from the series moving forward. Plus, we recap the biggest comics news of the week, share our favorite new releases, and much more.

Dave: X-Men United #4 (Kris Anka Cover) Chris: Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #2 (Phil Jimenez and Alex Sinclair Main) Dan Watters Pye Parr - MASK #1 out June 10th  M.A.S.K. has always had a unique place in Hasbro history, sitting somewhere between G.I. Joe, Transformers, and its own thing. What aspects of the original property were most important to preserve, and where did you see opportunities to reinvent it for the Energon Universe? Matt Trakker's introduction is fascinating because he's being hunted by the military, yet it quickly becomes clear he wants to be captured. Why was that the right way to introduce him, and what does it reveal about who he is in this version of M.A.S.K.? Miles Mayhem comes across as both calculating and completely unhinged. His fear of Transformers and extraterrestrial threats gives him a very different motivation than a typical villain. What interested you about making him someone who might see himself as humanity's last line of defense? One of the most exciting ideas in M.A.S.K. has always been vehicles transforming into weapons and armor systems. Pye, what was the challenge of updating those iconic transformations for modern audiences while still capturing the toyetic fun fans expect? Dan, after writing Destro, what was appealing about tackling another corner of the Energon Universe? Did your experience with Destro help shape how you approached M.A.S.K., or did you want this book to have a completely different flavor? The first issue hints at a larger arms race involving technology and weapons that may not even originate on Earth. How much of M.A.S.K. is a spy thriller versus a science-fiction story, and where does it fit tonally alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Bruce Sato and Gloria Baker are positioned as key new recruits. What qualities do they bring to M.A.S.K. that complement or challenge Matt Trakker's leadership style? The original M.A.S.K. comic debuted in 1987 and had a very different view of global threats and military organizations. Were there any specific elements from that era that you deliberately updated to reflect modern anxieties and geopolitics? Fun question: If you could each claim one M.A.S.K. vehicle and mask from the entire franchise to use in real life for a week, which would you pick and what completely irresponsible thing would you do with it?

Paizo is undergoing significant restructuring following a nearly $2 million financial loss in 2025, largely attributed to the bankruptcy of its former distributor, Diamond Comic Distributors. To manage the fallout, the company is laying off 12 employees, scaling back its organized play initiatives, and pausing Foundry VTT support for Pathfinder Society modules. While Paizo transitions its distribution to the Independent Publishers Group and works to recover book channel sales, it continues to focus on direct-to-consumer sales via its updated webstore. The tabletop industry is grappling with the proliferation of generative AI, with tensions surfacing at the UK Games Expo 2026. Critics and attendees expressed deep disappointment over the convention’s lack of an official policy prohibiting AI-generated content, contrasting it with other conventions that have taken firm stances. In response, creators and vendors utilized “Human Made” signage on the convention floor as a grassroots effort to push back against the use of AI tools, which they argue diminish human creativity and threaten the livelihoods of freelancers and artists. Meanwhile, Wizards of the Coast is signaling a shift in its technological approach, posting a vacancy for a senior AI engineer to develop customer-facing features, including systems for tutorials and NPC behaviors. This move coincides with Hasbro's launch of “Sixth Wall,” a new AI studio focused on licensing company IP characters like Optimus Prime and Mr. Potato Head for interactive experiences. By utilizing its “CharacterOS” platform and real voice actors, Hasbro aims to provide authorized, guardrail-protected versions of its characters to mitigate the spread of unauthorized AI-generated content using its intellectual property. In happier news for tabletop enthusiasts, Mongoose Publishing has released *The Infinity Suite*, a new 168-page campaign sourcebook for the *Traveller* RPG. The narrative centers on a band of interstellar rockstars who are heavily in debt and on the run from repo crews, forcing them to seek fame and inspiration across the Islands subsectors. The supplement introduces inventive mechanics to fit the rock ‘n’ roll theme, such as a Masterpiece System for song creation, a review system for music critics, Bass Battles, and Megastar Points to track the characters’ rise to fame. #paizo #ukgamesexpo #wotc #travellerrpg Roll Big or Go Home Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/k49Mnd Doctor Who and Warhammer to Cthulhu, Transformers, and even My Little Pony!

The Transformers franchise is shifting gears again, and this episode breaks down the latest writer news and what it signals for the road ahead. Paramount and Hasbro have brought in Jason Fuchs to write a new live-action Transformers movie, and his resume reads as a mixed bag of big swings, from Wonder Woman and Welcome to Derry to Argylle and the 2015 fantasy film Pan. That hire lands at a pivotal moment, with a second live-action project already moving as a Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover written by Derek Connolly.This is a franchise squarely in rebuilding mode. Transformers One underperformed at the box office despite being better than its reputation suggests, Rise of the Beasts performed commercially but took critical hits, and the well-liked Bumblebee approach has been left behind. The big question on the table: is a reboot coming too soon, or is fresh blood exactly what Transformers needs to win over a new generation?Timestamps0:00 New Transformers Movie and the Jason Fuchs Hire0:08 What Fuchs Is Known For: Wonder Woman, Welcome to Derry, Argylle, Pan0:14 The G.I.

Episode 302: This week's episode AI is moving beyond answering questions — it's beginning to rewrite the systems beneath itself, raising a critical question: who builds the brake pedal when autonomous agents start making decisions at scale? We pair that warning with tech that inspires and unsettles, from NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Telescope launching early to Microsoft testing office‑focused AI hardware that sparks immediate privacy concerns. Gwen Way also spotlights the Roro Lee Pocket AI and the real implications of recording‑consent laws and cloud‑stored data.We round things out with the cultural side of automation: Hinge's AI conversation starters, Instagram's AI support bot missteps, and Hasbro testing AI personalities for classic characters. A full hour of tech news with real‑world takeaways, not hype this is the episode you don't skip all coming up on TechTime Radio, with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:AI isn't just answering questions anymore, it's starting to write the system underneath itself, and that should make every tech user pause. We kick things off with a stark warning from inside the AI world: if the industry only has a gas pedal, what does a “brake pedal” look like, and who gets to press it when autonomous AI agents start making decisions at scale?From there, we keep it moving with tech that feels hopeful and tech that feels invasive. We talk NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launching ahead of schedule and why its massive field of view could reshape what we know about dark energy and galaxy formation. Then we come back down to Earth with Microsoft testing AI hardware for office workers, including a wearable badge concept that raises immediate privacy questions. Gwen Way joins us for Gadgets and Gear with the Roro Lee Pocket AI agent, a Kickstarter device designed to capture meeting notes and turn them into action plans, plus a straight talk moment about recording consent laws and where your data really goes when “the cloud” is involved.We also hit the cultural side of automation: Hinge rolling out AI to help people start dating conversations, Instagram's AI support bot creating a security mess, and Hasbro experimenting with AI chatbots for icons like Optimus Prime and Mr. Potato Head. Add a whiskey tasting of Arbeiki 1794 Highland Rye Single Grain Scotch and you've got a full hour of tech news for everyday people with real takeaways.

The Bricks & Minifigs saga has more twists and turns than LEGO set #10261. Just when we thought the drama was winding down, new allegations snap into place. This story has more illegal activity than a builder shoving a plate between the studs of a brick. Plus, they mostly come out at night. Mostly. Ghostbuster's Night Shift is clocking in to bust the weirdest, wildest, and creepiest creatures lurking after dark. And all good in the hood! Hasbro's snake charmer reminds us to never say “never,” as Yo Joe June finally delivers the iconic hooded Cobra Commander. It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Microsoft just went AI agent first at Build 2026, announcing Project Solara, an OpenClaw-style assistant called SCOUT, and seven new MAI models. Plus new image models from Reve and Ideogram, ElevenLabs teams with Hasbro to license character voices, and a quantum chip breakthrough. This week on AI For Humans, it's Hot Agent Summer and even stuffy Microsoft is going all-in. We break down everything from Microsoft Build 2026: Project Solara pushing agents into small devices, SCOUT, their OpenClaw-inspired personal assistant for Windows, and a fresh family of seven MAI models trained with no synthetic data and no distillation. Then we get into the agent interfaces beyond Microsoft (Town), the wild stat that bots have now passed humans for internet traffic, new image models from Reve 2.0 and a now open-source Ideogram 4.0, ElevenLabs partnering with Hasbro on licensed character voices like Optimus Prime, a quantum chip breakthrough, and the Chipotle chatbot that got left wide open.

From the notorious 4% Rotten Tomatoes "Steel" movie toys to the hidden history of Remco's legal battles with Mattel, we're diving deep into the weirdest corners of the 90s toy aisle. We breakdown why John is hunting for Shaquille O'Neal's John Henry Irons, the mystery of the "missing" Sinbad genie movie, and the insane $300 price tag on a carded Warrior Beast. Whether it's a vintage Star Wars Sigma mug Win or a yellowed blister pack Wiff, this episode is a nostalgia-fueled journey through the lines that time (and most collectors) forgot.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game) Simon is an electronic game of short-term memory skill invented by Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison, working for toy design firm Marvin Glass and Associates, with software programming by Lenny Cope. The device creates a series of tones and lights and requires a user to repeat the sequence. If the user succeeds, the series becomes progressively longer and more complex. Once the user fails or the time limit runs out, the game is over. The original version was manufactured and distributed by Milton Bradley and later by Hasbro after it took over Milton Bradley. Much of the assembly language code was written by Charles Kapps, who taught computer science at Temple University and also wrote one of the first books on the theory of computer programming. Simon was launched in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York City and was an immediate success, becoming a pop culture symbol of the 1970s and 1980s Provide feedback on this episode.

Is Hasbro's new $599 life-size Grogu a major Win or a total Wiff? We're breaking down the specs, the staggering price point, and why this animatronic "toy" has the FITT crew divided. From 250+ animations to the mystery of the 4 D batteries, we're asking the tough questions about the future of modern toy collecting and Star Wars memorabilia.Standing 14.6 inches tall, this 1:1 scale animatronic is impressive technologically, featuring 18 points of motorized articulation and 14 sensors that bring the "Child" to life. Whether he's using the "Force" to make his blue macaron vibrate or entering "Grab & Go" mode for your next cosplay, the engineering behind his squishy skin and directional audio is undeniable. However, with a $599 price tag, the collector community remains torn on whether these premium features—like the screen-accurate robes and "toddling" walk—justify the cost or if it's just a high-tech Wiff for most collectors.

The Mandalorian and Grogu movie has arrived! How did it perform? Was it the best movie Lucasfilm has released since Rise of Skywalker? Of course! It's the ONLY Star Wars movie released since that one in 2019! Maul: Shadow Lord's first season is over and we know there will be a season two, but Ahsoka might not end after it's sophomore season. We have to wait for 2027 to find out and by that time, we'll be gearing up for another Star Wars movie!There's gaming news on Knights of the Old Republic and the spiritual successor, Fate of the Old Republic. Eclipse seems to need developers, which means it isn't cancelled. Collectors have lots to collect, like LEGO sets and Hasbro figures and there's even a chance someone can bring home Grogu (for the right price).There's a new ride mode in Galaxy's Edge and new planets to visit, new merchandise in the stalls of Batuu and a new show on the spires. Two legends in the Star Wars space pass into the Force and we have another "word" for you this month.Feel free to take part in contributing ideas and commenting on our podcasts on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, on Facebook, through Amazon's podcast portal, or even on Discord. May the Force be with us!

The Mandalorian and Grogu is out, and we've seen it! But not only that, Hasbro annoucned new figures from the movie! So let's talk Mando & Grogu and what else we'd like to see from the movie in the future!

The world's biggest superheroes are built on more than spectacle. They're built on identity, emotion and fandom. In this episode of Brand Slam, hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata go inside Hasbro's Marvel universe with Mike Pullano, Senior Director of Global Brand Strategy & Marketing leading the Disney Marvel portfolio. From Spider-Man and Black Panther to X-Men, Deadpool and The Avengers, Mike shares how one of the world's most iconic entertainment brands continues to scale globally while staying emotionally connected to fans across generations. The conversation explores what it takes to balance storytelling with business performance, market simultaneously to kids, parents and collectors, and evolve legendary franchises without losing what made audiences fall in love with them in the first place. Mike also reflects on his 15-year journey at Hasbro, helping shape powerhouse brands including Monopoly, Nerf, Peppa Pig, Furby, Baby Alive and Super Soaker. Along the way, he breaks down the strategy behind licensing partnerships, global audience engagement and building fandom that lasts far beyond the screen. For marketers, entertainment leaders and brand builders, this episode offers a powerful look at how emotional connection, consistency and community continue to drive winning brands in a crowded entertainment landscape.

Our biggest local con starts today, Fan Expo Denver. Over the past 10+ years, it has become a juggernaut. Some highlights this year, for me at least, include a pretty comprehensive Scream and Goonies reunion, most of the cast of The Boys, all the Hobbits, and a huge amount of voice actors, including Michael Bell, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, and Matthew Wood. It has ballooned to a 4-day event. We'll do our shopping early today, then we do panels most of the time, and we'll squeeze in the exhibit floor as we have time. One of our favorite things to do is hit up celebrity row. Or I should say rows, nowadays. Since we're not big autograph people, we're too cheap, we love just walking that area and seeing our favorite celebs interacting with fans, hanging out, or even just being on their phones.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news, you've already heard.https://www.enworld.org/threads/d-d-beyond-executives-explain-why-subscribers-cant-share-drops-content.719058/Recently D&D Beyond has started providing Drops for their online subscriber-based system for releasing Dungeons and Dragons Material. The problem is, the new Drops, which include maps, characters, and premade encounters are not shareable. So even though D&D Beyond members have paid for Master Tier Access which runs around 55 bucks a year and is designed to allow you to share material…you can't.D&D Beyond says they are doing this to ensure that creators get paid, but isn't that the companies job? And if you tell people they are paying for a service like the Master Tier that allows sharing and then turn around and don't allow sharing that seems a little shady to me…but it is Hasbro so it tracks.I think the real question I have here for the gang is this. In the digital age where everything is sold online and no one owns books anymore…how are creators going to get paid.Christina, let's start with you.Kick to ChristinaMike, put your business and tech hat on. What are the options?Kick to MikeNext up we have another Elric TTRPG on the horizon.https://www.enworld.org/threads/theres-another-official-elric-rpg-in-the-works-this-one-from-free-league.719041/It's cool to see Elric get some love lately. I mean the Witcher straight up stole most of it's esthetic and even some of its story from the Elric saga so it's not like he's been out of the public consciousness…but I like seeing companies turn back to a foundational fantasy character like that. The fact that he's a very complex character is just all the more appealing to me.But just like my last article, Elric isn't what I want to talk about.What I want to ask you is Free League becoming the new Asmodee?Let's start with you MikeKick to MikeChristina, I know you are a fan of Free League, is it good or bad that they are grabbing up all the IPs right now?Kick to ChristinaAnd there you have it, all the news you've already heard.

Caiu como uma bomba a notícia que Destiny 2 em breve receberá sua última atualização, essencialmente marcando o início do fim de Destiny, mesmo que seus servidores ainda permaneçam ligados. A informação foi seguida por uma reportagem afirmando que haverá demissões consideráveis na Bungie, o que fez esse ser nosso principal papo, pensando no papel e posição do estúdio dentro de PlayStation maior.Participantes:Heitor De PaolaAssuntos abordados:09:00 - PlayStation marcou State of Play para o começo de junho11:00 - Destiny 2 receberá sua última atualização em junho35:00 - A Embracer se dividirá em duas empresas44:00 - Hasbro fala do seu investimento em videogames54:00 - Rápidas e curtasVai comprar jogos na Nuuvem?

Jeff and Christian welcome Parris Lilly from Gamertag Radio back to the show this week to discuss the future of Bungie in light of Destiny 2 leaving active development, the massive slate of indie games at Six One Indie Showcase, and Wizards of the Coast no longer developing a single-player D&D game.The Playlist:Parris: Forza Horizon 6, MixtapeChristian: Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark KnightJeff: Forza Horizon 6, Rune DiceParting Gifts!

In an industry increasingly fractured by the volatile economics of games-as-a-service models, Hasbro has made a definitive, multi-million dollar counter-move. Chief executive Chris Cocks has committed $1 billion strictly toward internal, premium single-player AAA experiences via Wizards of the Coast. This bold rejection of the live-service trend headlines this week's GameBurst podcast, alongside Valve's substantial architectural overhaul of Steam's tag infrastructure—a crucial quality-of-life upgrade aimed at breathing fresh air into organic discoverability for hard-pressed independent developers. Meanwhile, historic milestones and prestigious recognitions bookend the industry's recent cultural footprint. Re-Logic's sandbox phenomenon Terraria has cross-examined its staying power by clearing a monumental 70 million units sold worldwide just in time for its 15th anniversary. Striking a grander historical note, the iconic, heavy-metal-infused 1993 Doom soundtrack has officially been selected for induction into the US National Recording Registry, formally cementing interactive media's aesthetic importance to global heritage. The team also breaks down Sony's impending June State of Play marathon, a raft of Develop:Star award nominations for Clair Obscur and Ghost of Yōtei, and our personal multimedia picks of the week spanning Mixtape to Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. #gameburst Featured Video Links: https://youtu.be/0o8xYjdA6x4?si=bEW98KuANqYVFPi1

Before helmets, hoverboards, and helicopter parenting… there was the Big Wheel. Louis Marx and Company turned a low-slung plastic tricycle into one of the most iconic - and unexpectedly controversial - toys in American history. From glorious downhill drifts and neighborhood wipeouts to lawsuits, broken bones, and adult underground Big Wheel racing leagues, this is the wild story of the toy that taught generations of kids that danger and fun were sometimes the exact same thing.

The actor who played Captain Kirk commented on the possible future Kirk Commander legend with some classic old-head toilet humor in response.
