In the Transformers franchise, Starscream usually rules the skies as the leader of the Seekers. Now, one collectible company is releasing highly detailed and articulated figures based on other members of the elite Decepticon jet squad.

Acid Storm and Sunstorm are two notable "repaints" of Starscream, and that's also the case with the Transformers Mdlx figures from Threezero. Recoloring the company's previous Starscream figure, the new color schemes showcase the incredible amount of precision in the mold. While the two robot figures only have their robot modes, they're still ready to take to the skies on fans' shelves.

Unicron needs a new lieutenant after Scourge's demise; options include Soundwave, Overbite, and Grand Scourge for Transformers 8 villain. Potential minions of Unicron in Transformers 8 could be Oil Slick, Sunstorm, and Cyclonus, adding new dynamics to the villainous lineup. Introducing Blackarachnia as a cunning villain and resurrecting Grand Scourge for a more menacing threat in Transformers 8.

It seems that Transformers 8 will continue the saga of Unicron's threat in the Transformers timeline, suggesting a new second-in-command Decepticon will take Scourge's place. By the end of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the world-devouring planet-sized Transformer Unicron had yet to be definitively dealt with; his arrival on Earth only delayed rather than foiled altogether. To pave the way for his terrible presence, the apocalyptic robot has historically employed various minions. Technically, being a Decepticon isn't necessarily the same as working for Unicron, but the Transformers under the Decepticon umbrella are far more likely to do so.

Wow. Lionsgate is certainly determined to trump everyone else in fantastic special edition releases lately. They’re running with the big dogs at the very least, after such fantastic editions of The Monster Squad, Cujo, My Bloody Valentine and The Gate. This time, they’ve set their sights on the 1986 flick, The Wraith and I’m not gonna lie – I am very excited!

From the Lionsgate press release:

The Wraith, the cult classic starring Golden Globe® winner Charlie Sheen (TV's "Spin City"), Academy Award® nominee Randy Quaid (The Last Detail, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1973) and Clint Howard (Frost/Nixon), comes to Special Edition DVD from Lionsgate this March. The action-packed film tells the story of a mysterious figure seeking vengeance on a gang that's been terrorizing a small town and includes music from some of Rock-n-Roll's greatest legends including Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Robert Palmer and Billy Idol.
