I was a late watcher to the first season of the Bad Batch, not picking it up until I started watching Andor (which was Amazing and we should really write a review and recap for that sometime). It admittedly started a little bit slow and very much like a typical Star Wars cartoon, but quickly became […] The post Bad Batch Season 2 Trailer – Starts January 4th appeared first on FBTB.

For me, as long-time fan of the Transformers and having built LEGO Transformers myself, LEGO releasing LEGO Transformers 10302 Optimus Prime was a pleasant surprise. It looks great as a robot, decent as a truck and the transformation sequence is fantastic. Its look is also largely faithful to the original Optimus Prime toy from the eighties.
