Hot Wheels Bone Shaker and Twin Mill Transformers Revealed

For the most part I really like these guys. Especially Bone Shaker with that chest. It looks like he has something weird going on with his back, but I still like his overall look.

Doubtful I'll get either, but these look cool... Bone Shaker almost looks like he's Motormaster's crazy little brother.

These look so cool! It'd be awesome if they came with extra stickers so you could determine which faction they'd be on

Bahahahahahaha true! Love them both.

If I didn't know any better I would say they're using heads from Lio Kaiser.

Oh I'm very into this! Especially Bone Shaker!

*looks at Twin Mill*

*Looks at Legacy Side Burn*

*Looks at Twin Mill again*

Yeah I'mma need these.

Oopsy-doops. Doubled

These are neat, I wonder if Bone Shaker will have effect parts, too, and if they'll work any diecast into them for that Hot Wheels feel.

Sad that these will likely be more readily available than any of the cars released by Hot Wheels (aside from those movie tributes).

I didn't have many Hot Wheels but I swear I had at least those two. Twin Mill in that specific color at the very least. I had Phantomachine too. I wonder if they'll continue this line with a few more releases. I wouldn't mind a "transforming" Phantomachine. It would just be standing it up but still.

They both look good. Very interesting transformation wise. I'll be picking up both. Their lower legs look a bit odd to me though. Almost as if Hasbro wasn't allowed to cut the alt mode more to make more hinges and moving parts like some of the Studio Series figures and MPG Trainbots. Well I mean, they're licensed vehicle designs form Hot Wheels so it makes sense I guess.

On a somewhat similar note, the Sonic collab set preorder is 20% off right now at Target. Or rather, they have a 20% off sale on toys and it's included in the sale. Not that Target.com updates their stock well.

I was not a Hot Wheels fan but these are really cool. Got far more personality than the average TF character. The metallic paint job is just Chef's Kiss too.

Hopefully it's around Voyager price than Leader.

Yeah, I'll be grabbing these. My in-house Hot Wheels nut is beside himself.

Point!

I'm digging the Road Warrior feel Bone Shaker is giving off. I'll definitely get my grips on Twin Mill.

He's over there?

I keep circling back to that Boneshaker, that bot just looks so cool and inspired!

Did these ever go up for preorder anywhere?

I don't think so

Just before the panels at SDCC 2025 this weekend the announced HotWheels x Transformers Crossover Bone Shaker figure has had official pictures hit online!
We first saw a glimpse Bone Shaker at Toy Fair 2025, but these are the first official photographs to come out. Hopefully the otherr crossover figure, Twin Mill will be following suit soon!
There should be more information at the Transfomer's Panel this Friday July 26th, and rumor is that Bone Shaker will go up for pre-order on Saturday July 27th.

I like this guy a lot! I'm ready for a preorder.

Looks like he is holding a toffee apple. The kind you get at the local fair.

I really like Bone Shaker, but I really wish they'd sculpted him a voodoo top hat.

Hot off the heels of Bone Shaker yesterday: Twin Mill has raced ahead of the SDCC 2025 reveals for the Hot Wheels x Transformers Crossover figures.
Twin Mill was shown at Toy Fair 2025, however this is first official photography that has been shown, including an in package shot, which makes this figure look to be the size of a standard Hot-Wheel based on the peg and packaging layout.
Also rather than carrying a big stick, these photos seem to confirm that Twin Mill will include blast effects (your mileage may vary).
Twin Mill looks to be a crazy Hot Wheels concept car with dual engine intakes that double as wrist cannons.

Unabashedly hype for these dudes. They look great.

We finally have official images two crossover Transformers figures that turn into Hot Wheels cars: The Twin Mill and the Bone Shaker. While these were first shown months ago, these are the very first official images of them, along with our first look at the packaging. There are no oteorder links yet but we will post preorder links when we have them. Let us know what you think of these two!

Not a HW guy. However Bone Shaker looks awesome in alt mode and bot mode got a lot of character thanks to the chest skull design. Will get for the fun of the it depending on the price & availability in Canada.

But Twin Mill is a different story. The car mode is...bad as a car. I'm probably being too analytical, but the dual intakes are obscuring the driver's view so much it's just too ridiculous for me. And the legs in bot mode...yikes. That hollowness is Authentics-level in its badness. The knee joints look weird too. Not interested.

Well with the Breakfast preview pics starting to hit the inter-webs I am happy to see that these two are 5" and not Hotwheel scale like Optimus was---- I am totally in on these two!

People are saying these are Deluxe scaled but priced at Voyager/Leader class. So that's a bit of a deterrence for me on Twin Mill at least.

I'm really digging both of these

I wonder if they're using the fact that they're die-cast to justify the price? Still shouldn't be voyager priced. Hopefully that info is incorrect

Will these be something-or-other exclusives?

Licensing fees & tariff would add to the final price???

I nabbed a preorder on these two earlier today. I absolutely LOVE the collab stuff. When they transform anyway.

The Hot Wheels scale Prime was a pass for me - even as I missed the regular price I can't say I was thrilled for a shrunken down G1 prime. But these guys do it for me. Especially Bone Shaker. Wish he was a Decepticon or even a No Faction, but what can you do? It's Autobots all the way down.

Below are the preorder links from Amazon and Pulse for the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker and Twin Mill Transformer Figures. The price is 14% higher in the US than in Canada, where they are sold at the standard deluxe MSRP, and it is unsure if it’s because of tariffs, which have also seen price increases for Lego sets sold to US customers, or if the Amazon.ca price is a fortunate mistake.

I'm very happy that both are deluxes at deluxe prices, no overcharges, and they are not exclusives.

I'm surprised these sold out at BBTS already. I thought they'd at least get a few days out of them. I guess that shows how popular these are with collectors, probably the best place to buy online with proper packing.

I'm genuinely pissed. I was out of town this weekend, and by the time I got back, everyone was sold out except Pulse, who only had Bone Shakers left.

edit - Nevermind, Found them on Amazon.

If you live near the border, could you purchase in Canada & bring it back to the US without attracting additional fees? Or put it on an aerial balloon crossing the border & hope it doesn't get shot down.

Goddamit, Aussies, your end of the stick is so short, there's no stick left.
50$CAN for a freaking deluxe at the base price. Without taxes. Holy crap.

Nothing new to us Aussies, unfortunately. The only 'upside' is the price is inclusive of all taxes.

Still more expensive than the rest, but it's much better than I thought.

Canada and the USA should follow Australia and Japan in including the sales taxes in the displayed price. But noooooo, it's too hard to do. I blame the fact that most states and provinces have their regional tax on top of the federal one, making things "complicated."

I'm curious if the quick, high uptake of these will be resold on ebay & the like?!

It's a bit of a digression, but ...

I don't think it's "too hard" at all. I think the deceptive marketing practice is exactly the point. They don't want us to know exactly how much it really costs. It's not that they can't. It benefits them to give us sticker shock.

Well it's NO surprise to me that Twin Mill sold out over Bone Shaker....way cooler of the two! The only flaw right now about Twin Mill is the name. / shoulda gone with something way better. I think he will look good paired up with Sidburn with fans choice of mold....'nuff said!!!

It's a little easier with the internet, but back when all advertised prices were done in print it would be a logistic nightmare for retailers. Every national catalogue and flyer would have to be printed specifically for each sales tax rate instead of one for the entire country. The US and Canada were just too big with too many tax variations to make that work back in the day and we just got used to it.
