I was under the impression that Hasbro owns the rights to the Gobots characters and their related IP after buying out Tonka? It's a train wreck of rights issues, as best the Transformers fandom have worked out, Hasbro own the names and characters so can and have reused those. Warner own the cartoon so can use that but can't create any new series without Hasbro, but were free to reissue the original on their DVD on demand service a few years back. Bandai own the rights to the GoBots toy designs, and Machine Robo/Robo Machine/Machine Men brands they sold the toys under outside of the US... With rumours Ashi Productions took those rights when they made Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos. Oh wow, it's worse than I imagined.

Video showing off moves of all characters in the alpha, including Velma. Also shows some alt costumes.
Music in this plays soft, but I don't know if that's because it's the training stage or if that's what they're going for in the regular game.

And it still relatively easy compared to everything I've heard about the Masters of the Universe rights... which has Toy, Comic, show rights... and She-ra is only included in some of them... and I'm not sure how New Adventures tied in...

The smartest thing Hasbro did was to ensure all the I's were dotted and T#s were crossed in the 80s and 90s when it came to ownership of things like Transformers, and buying the rights for the Marvel Productions series in the 2000s to ensure that without a doubt they know who owns what. Mattel went in the other direction and sold the rights to MOTU in the 90s according to former brand manager Toyguru and the few rights they had are set to expire. Both are better than the Robotech trainwreck though.

The aforementioned Victory Poses video.
1)I fear for Scooby with Arya's suggestion. 2)I want a .gif of Wonder Woman from this.

Music in this plays soft, but I don't know if that's because it's the training stage or if that's what they're going for in the regular game. Any way it can be anyone besides ProfasiaGaming. Guy's not worth the clicks.

It's impressive how quickly I go from, "I'd probably never touch Steven," to, "I want to play as Steven," on seeing a Tiger Millionaire outfit.

Feels like I just had a Chris Rock in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. "Nintendo gonna sue someone!" OK, not really but yeah that is pretty cookie cutter to Smash. Definitely will check it out though.
