Transformers toys are my jam, and these 5 Amazon deals are more than meets the eye

Even with Prime Day behind us, there are still fantastic Transformers deals to be found! For those of us who refuse to let our childhood love of toy collecting diminish, a great selection of Autobots and Decepticons are available at reduced prices. There's a unique joy in collecting toys as an adult, especially when those toys are rooted in the cool properties of the '80s and '90s that are still popular today. Properties like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Masters of the Universe will always hold a special place for me, however, I've always particularly admired the incredible ingenuity of Transformers toys — I can only imagine how difficult it would be to design a toy that can take multiple forms. Admittedly, some of the best Transformers figures can be quite pricey, depending on their size class (Core, Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Commander, and Titan) and the intricacy of their design. But don't worry – I've searched Amazon to find the best post-Prime Day Transformers deals still available. Here are my top 5 picks for fellow Transformers collectors. Due to the staggered release of Hasbro's new Studio Series Constructicons, finding them in the wild has proven tricky for many collectors, Thankfully, Amazon has the double pack of Long Haul & Hook available to purchase right now, and at a nice discount. Simply put, these are a must-have for those looking to build the Studio Series version of Devastator. For many TF collectors, Titan Class figures can be too expensive to consider purchasing. Thankfully, this discount on the Armada Universe Tidal Wave makes its cost easier to justify. This Titan Class figure stands at a whopping 48cm in robot mode. What's cool is that he doesn't just go from bot to battle station — he also breaks down into three separate vehicles. Plus, Tidal Wave can even combine with either Armada Universe Megatron or Galvatron. Grimlock is undoubtedly a favourite amongst Transformers fans and collectors, and while many of you probably already have a standard Grimlock in your collection, you may have overlooked this sweet G2 Universe variant that boasts an entirely different colour scheme. Well, at a sweet AU$30.99 discount, it might be time to change that. And yes, Wheelie is included. Okay, so Overcharge is very clearly just a repaint of Blitzwing with no discernible retooling, but that doesn't make him any less fun to transform! This triple-changer lets you go from bot, to jet, to tank in an intuitive manner. And with this sweet 30% discount, I think that's pretty good value. Not everyone loves 'Bayverse' designs, but those who do will get a kick out of this screen-accurate Masterpiece-edition Ratchet from Transformers: Dark of the Moon. It's got a high level of detail thanks to its authentic Takara Tomy design, along with 35 points of articulation and even some die cast parts.

‘Eat the rich' — Why horror films are taking aim at the ultra-wealthy

This story contains spoilers about 'Ready or Not' and 'The Menu.' When Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez held their lavish three-day wedding celebration in Venice recently, it wasn't just a party — it was a spectacle of wealth, reportedly costing between US$47 million and US$56 million. Critics highlighted the environmental toll of such an event on the fragile, flood-prone city, while protesters took to the streets to condemn the wedding as a tone-deaf symbol of oligarchical wealth at a time when many can't afford to pay rent, let alone rent an island. The excessive show of opulence felt like the opening of a horror film, and lately, that's exactly what horror has been giving us. In films like Ready or Not (2019) and The Menu (2022), the rich aren't simply out of touch; they're portrayed as predators, criminals or even monsters. Read more: These 'eat-the-rich' films channel widespread anxieties about the current socioeconomic climate and increasing disillusionment with capitalist systems. In a world where the wealthy and powerful often seem to act with impunity, these films expose upper-class immorality and entitlement, and offer revenge fantasies where those normally crushed by the system fight back or burn it all down. Horror takes aim at the wealthy Originally a quote from social theorist Jean-Jacques Rousseau during the French Revolution, 'eat the rich' has re-emerged in recent years in public protests and on social media in response to increasing socioeconomic inequality. In cinema, eat-the-rich films often use grotesque hyperbole or satire to reveal and critique capitalist systems and the behaviours of the wealthy elite. Film scholar Robin Wood argues that horror films enact a return of what is repressed by dominant bourgeois — that is, capitalist — ideology, typically embodied by the figure of the monster. He cites The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), a classic example of anti-capitalist sentiment in horror that depicts Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) and his working-class family as monstrous victims of the 1970s industrial collapse. Rather than accept repression, they return as cannibalistic monsters, making visible the brutality of capitalist systems that exploit and degrade people like obsolete commodities. But in eat-the-rich horror, it is the wealthy themselves who become the monsters. The locus of repression becomes their privilege, which is often built on exploitation, inequality and invisible or normalized forms of harm. These films render these abstract systems tangible by making the elite's monstrosity visible, literal and grotesque. Revenge horror for the 99 per cent Recent horror films are increasingly using genre conventions to critique wealth, privilege and the systems that sustain them. Ready or Not turns the rich into bloodthirsty monsters who maintain their fortune through satanic rituals and human sacrifice. Grace (Samara Weaving) marries into the Le Domas family, board game magnates who initiate new family members with a deadly game of hide-and-seek. She must survive until dawn while her new in-laws hunt her down to fulfil a demonic pact. The film critiques the idea of inherited wealth as something earned or honourable, combining humour and horror to reflect anxieties about class entrenchment and the moral decay of the elite. The Le Domases are monstrous not only for their violence, but for how casually they justify it. When several maids are accidentally killed in the chaos, they react with self-pity, indifferent to who must be sacrificed to maintain their wealth. In The Menu, the rich are portrayed as monstrous not through physical violence, but through their moral failings — like financial crimes and infidelity — and their hollow consumption of culture. Celebrity chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes) lures wealthy foodies to his exclusive island restaurant, using food as a weaponized form of art to expose guests' hypocrisy and misdeeds. In one scene, guests are served tortillas laser-printed with incriminating images, such as banking records and evidence of fraudulent activity. The film criticizes consumption in an industry where food is no longer a source of enjoyment or sustenance, but a status symbol for the elite to display their wealth and taste. Why these films are striking a nerve now It's no surprise that audiences are turning to horror to make sense of systems that feel increasingly bleak and inescapable. In Canada, the cost of living continues to outpace wages, housing affordability remains an issue for many, while grocery prices are a source of horror in their own right. A university degree, once considered a reliable path to stability, no longer guarantees the financial security of a salaried job. Many Canadians now rely on gig economy jobs as supplementary income. Meanwhile, the wealth gap is increasing and obscene displays of wealth — like a multi-million-dollar wedding — can feel disconnected, even offensive, to people experiencing financial precarity. Eat-the-rich films tap into this collective sense of injustice, transforming economic and social anxieties into a cathartic spectacle where ultra-wealthy villains are held accountable for their actions. At the end of Ready or Not, the members of the Le Domas family explode one by one and their mansion burns down. In The Menu, the guests are dressed up like s'mores and immolated. In both films, fire serves as a symbolic cleansing of the wealthy, their power and the systems that protect them. More than that, these films provide someone to root for: working-class protagonists who are targeted by the elite but ultimately survive. Former foster child Grace fights her way through a pack of murderous millionaires, while escort Margot/Erin (Anya Taylor-Joy) is spared when she rejects the pretentiousness of fine dining and orders a humble cheeseburger instead. In this way, horror becomes a form of narrative resistance, illustrating class rage through characters who refuse to be consumed by the systems trying to oppress them. While inequality and exploitation persist in reality, eat-the-rich films offer escape, and even justice, on screen.
