Thanks to JTPrime17, we have a slew of new listings for the upcoming Cyberworld series which we previously wrote about. We now know that this show is not a replacement to Earthspark, we don't even have clear proof that it's a show nor any info on how it will be broadcasted. We do know which characters will be in the toyline though, thanks to this list of toys. It includes, Mirage, Scorponok, Galvatron, Skybyte, Snarl, and possibly Optimus Prime with one of the listings being OP Off - Read More

Below are images of a leaked Hasbro document focusing on Transformers. It is from earlier this year and shows the plans for shows to come, among other things. For Earthspark, it shows that the goal is to continue this show until 2026. Of course, plans could change (or even might have already changed). However, what is important here is that we now have the proof that the new show, Cyberworld, is not a replacement show. It is just another show on their schedule. So our previous reports on - Read More

Nobody knew this was coming, but it might be at a Target near you. Completely announced by Target or Hasbro there have been multiple sightings now of Power of the Primes Evolution Optimus Prime from 2018. The figure and packaging appear to be unchanged and a straight reissue with no obvious changes to the figure or the package. It's a surprise to say the least in a year that's already heavily saturated with Prime figures.
Pictures come from Reddit users _LigerZer0_, Clear-Bench-4202, and - Read More

Just a heads up from JTPrime17. There was a rumour going around that Earthspark wouldn't get renewed for a 3rd season and, independently, that 2025 would have no core class figures. That last one was assessed by the fact that we have all listings for the non exclusive Generations figures of 2025 (which is a Prime themed line). Well, JTPrime has confirmed that for the entirety of 2025's order forms, there is no core class price point. So we shouldn't expect those figures in 2025, at least not - Read More

Yup, not a joke, that headline is a direct quote from Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who took the time to give some interesting quotes at the first screening of Transformers One in France. He was interviewed along with Josh Cooley, the director of Transformers One, as well as the head of Paramount Animation and Hasbro's head of film. You can read the full interview below, which comes from Variety.

There is currently a rumour within the community based on insider information, detailing that a new animated Transformers show is currently in development. Very little info has been given but the rumour would entail that Earthspark would end after season 2. We do not know if this was always intentional or not, since it could be that the new show is more in line with the TF One film, with Earthspark existing as a show to providing content for the brand before a new era. The initial rumour also - Read More

Paramount released a trailer for Season 2 of Transformers Earthspark. In it, we can see some of the toys that were previously revealed, like Hashtag's new alt mode being a pickup truck.
We also have a synopsis of each episode, which also explains why Hashtag changed alt mode.

One year after Mandroid's defeat and the Emberstone's shattering, the Maltos go on a search for the shards. When a Decepticon creates a new foe from a broken shard, the Maltos realize life in - Read More

Notes from the live stream:
SS86 Core Steeljaw - Confirms the speaker does attach to Blaster.
SS Gamer Edition Deluxe Decepticon Trooper - Very heavily retooled from Barricade. Evan claims the green is game accurate despite how dark he looked in the game.
SS Bumblebee Movie Voyager Skywarp - Exactly what you would expect for a a repaint of Starscream, does feature a new head similar to Blitzwing's.
SS86 Leader Springer - New chest, head, shoulders and opening hands plus new - Read More

Today's Hasbro Pulse livestream on YouTube was Studio Series heavy when it came to in hand reveals, but at the end of the stream during their Spacebridge portal reveals they gave us our first look at some long leaked figures making up Wave 4 of Legacy. Surprisingly instead of using random art they used the actual package art that will appear with the toys at the end of the year! We also got a few tidbits about what to expect from some of the figures:

Following initial word of an assortment of Hot Wheels cars in decidedly non-Transformers based vehicle options we have our first look at two somewhat more accurate takes on two recognizable characters.
First up we've got a listing for Hot Wheels Track Fleet Optimus Prime straight from Big Bad Toy Store. This isn't just a random semi truck painted up like OP but a new model complete with the instantly recognizable removable trailer design. This is a 1/64 diecast vehicle and at least BBTS has - Read More

It isn't just G1 celebrating an anniversary in 2024, it's the 15th anniversary of Transformers: Dark of the Moon as well! With the lack of Bayverse figures in Studio Series this year you wouldn't be wrong to think Hasbro would forget, but thanks to Jtprime17 it seems they remembered after all. A new listing was found calling for a new DotM four pack featuring Studio Series Optimus Prime and Jetfire along with two yet to be named Deluxe Autobots.

If you're one of the many people that were intrigued by MP-60 Ginrai and MPM-09 Super Ginrai but really needed more views, then here you go! Scans from Japan's Figure King magazine #315 posted to Facebook by user Three Star Toys (三粒星星玩具屋) feature four page spread of photos of the actual (not final) figures including shots from the sides and behind. There are also a few comparison shots showing the truck cab to be only a little bigger than that of the G1 figure while Super Ginrai - Read More

A few notes from today's Transformers Fanstream:
TF:One Deluxe Optimus Prime was confirmed to be the first figure in the A Level category. They mentioned he should be easy to find and be on shelves for around 9 months. The figure is also specifically colored to perfectly match the movie color pallet.
They then went on to talk about the Wondercon reveals hitting stores now.
Nothing new to say about Swoop that we haven't already seen.
Apparently the size chart for the Bumblebee - Read More

The 40th anniversary of Transformers is bringing us a lot of big and new things, but one of the biggest staples of the franchise is coming to an end. With the release of MP-60 Ginrai, what they're calling the 100th MP figure when including certain special edition and limited releases they're calling it quits on the Masterpiece line as we know it. That's not to say we wont be getting anymore MPs at all, but the primary line that originated with MP-01 some 21 years ago will no longer Exist at the - Read More

As usual Jtprime17 has found us some new listings for figures with no context to explain them, in this case it's "Swapticon". The prevailing theory is that they're some sort of modular figures that can swap parts among each other, perhaps a spiritual successor to the long defunct Hero Mashers line from 2014. Another theory is that these are similar to the Beast Combiners figures from the Rise of the Beasts movie line since all appear to be two packs. But what's getting the most attention isn't - Read More

We're still a few days away from the official reveal of MP-60 Ginrai and MPG-09 Super Ginrai on April 10, but a new batch of solicitation images have surfaced. Coming via HK retailer HobbyLand (via TFW2005) the new images are not just clearer but also include more looks at the figures and the accessories they both come with. Of note is replacement red eye lenses for Super Ginrai to give him toy accurate eyes, as well as some additional effect parts. Pre-orders will likely open the same day as - Read More

One of the worst kept secrets in the Legacy line has finally been revealed thanks to users ZetcaReturns and ZipperMan29x over on TFW2005. Even without leaked listings showing this figure was coming in wave 3 it was obvious to anyone that took a quick glance at Legacy Evolution Shadow Striker that she was a pre-tool of Robots in Disguise Universe Sideburn. Unfortunately, unlike the recent trend of making shared tools of two different characters within the same line stand out by changing things - Read More

If you've got pre-orders out for Target's exclusive Studio Series 86 Blaster or Legacy United Origin Wheeljack then watch your mail because those two are showing up at homes this week! And if you didn't pre-order and want to take a chance at finding them in stores then your gamble may pay off. Thanks to our own Seibertronian TF-fan kev777 we've got our first in store sighting for both figures.

It should be mentioned that this is purely representative of the final figure which will be molded in colored plastic with painted details and not fully painted. The video also shows off some of the features that were skipped or glossed over in the initial reveal like the storage for Blue Bolts in Ultra Magnus, his compatibility with carrying Deluxe cars and Prime's extending ladder.

No, that's not a typo, it's the end of February 2024 and we already know what's coming out next year. Once the shock wears off there's some really interesting things listed here. For one we seem to be going back to the Bayverse movies in a pretty big way! Hatchet seems to have found a new home after the Target - Read More

The first is a pitch that was made by Fun Publications back in 2010 for a sort of Rescue Bots type spinoff of G.I. Joe, called "Adventure Team", with art provided by Evan Gauntt.
An internal pitch that was made to Hasbro back in the mid 2010’s. With the brand having direction issues, the current team at Night - Read More

Peter Cullen, a man that needs no introduction to anyone here, has been honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2nd Annual Children's and Family Emmys this past weekend. The ceremony was originally part of the Daytime Emmys before recently spinning off into its own thing. And who better to present such an award to Optimus Prime than Megatron himself, Frank Welker?
This is a great way to kick off the 40th anniversary of the Transformers franchise which Peter has been a part of the - Read More
