We haven’t seen the last of ‘Transformers,’ or any of Hasbro’s other properties on the big screen. The toy company has now struck up a new deal with Paramount.

This past weekend, Hasbro's biggest brands gathered in Providence, Rhode Island for the first ever HasCon, and gave fans a much more intimate and personal glimpse at what the future of Star Wars toys held. While there weren't many new reveals on display, thanks in large to Hasbro just releasing a bevvy of new Star Wars toys at the start of the month, there was still plenty of love for the Black Series, Forces of Destiny, and everything in between.

This weekend, New York City Comic-Con has come bearing gifts for Power Rangers fans. As if the brand new character posters released on Friday weren’t enough, LionsGate has also given us our first theatrical trailer for the movie, giving us some background on the assembly of the current Power Rangers team  —  and one quick look at Elizabeth Banks’ Rita Repulsa as well.
