Embers of Mirrim is all about a griffin-like creature that can split into two halves, light and dark. It's a fitting metaphor for the gameplay found within: though it has one central mechanic, it explores that idea in a lot of different ways to varying degrees of success. There are some clever sections, but for every bright spot there is something tedious or frustrating to deal with.
It's commendable that it tries to keep the experience fresh by doing so many different things, but it could have been cleaner and sharper with a more focused design.
Just in time for Christmas, it's the IDW comic solicits! ...for March! The month of March will be bringing us part 4 of the Transformers Vs Visionaries miniseries, along with issue 17 of Optimus Prime, featuring part 3 of "The Falling" and Lost Light #16 which leads off its blurb with a phrase also used as the finale of Star Trek The Next Generation. Is the end near?! (probably not) All this and the Redemption of The Dinobots collection, bringing together Transformers: Punishment, Transformers: Redemption, and Transformers: Salvation. Keep reading for summaries and cover previews!

Toys Alliance has shared out some new photos of their MAS-02 Megatron figure on Facebook. The licensed, highly detailed, non-transforming Megatron figure is the followup to MAS-01 Optimus Prime (imagine that) and is shown in a few poses, but these photos seem more about showing off the finished look of the figure. The post also advises that due to manufacturing delays, the release window for the figure is now projected around the start of March 2018. You can check out the new photos below!

We have a mini-roundup going for information coming about about the upcoming Studio Series movie-based line. What we're currently interpreting as a sort of Generations-equivalent for the movie series seems to be shaping up to be fairly sizeable thanks to a dump from a store inventory system by one Mr. Chaos who has provided UPCs and other data for us to examine, showing many Deluxes and Voyagers, plus the Leader Grimlock and Blackout toys. Autobase Aichi has also dug up a couple of photos of some of the toys seemingly from an event in China, though the author doesn't know specifics. Click through for more detail and shots of Starscream, Optimus, Ratchet and Crowbar!
