Transformers X Monster Hunter cross over revealed

thesixthaxis.com:

Over the years Transformers has crossed over with some big franchise such as Knight Rider, with a robot based on KITT, and Back to the Future, with a robot that transforms in to the DeLorean. Also, Hasbro are still releasing figures in the “Gamer Edition” line based on the Activision ‘Cybertron’ games. Transformers have also appeared in many games such as Fortnite and World of Warships but I do not recall their ever being a  Transformers toy based on a non Transformers video game.

The figure has a tentative release date of July 2025 and if you are in the UK you can pre-order one here. 

Monster Hunter Wilds has a release date, and it’s set for 28th February 2025, the long-awaited monster hunting sequel coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

As always, there’s plenty of new ideas being added into the mix with a new Monster Hunter game, even if the main point remains the same. Players will have access to new gadgets and companions like the Seikret, a new creature that you can mount and ride across the open world. The Seikret can also automatically follow the trail to get you to the target monster, and give you time to heal, sharpen your weapons and grab useful items and materials that you meander past. It also has a holster to let you swap between primary and secondary weapons.

Then there’s the Slinger, which is standard gear for hunters in Monster Hunter Wilds and will replace the Wirebug from Monster Hunter Rise. It can shoot out ammo gathered in the environment, and can grapple to draw in distant items (even while riding the Seikret), or interact with certain parts of the
