Am I the only one who wants to see that as a Generations Voyager class figure?

Really?

Va'al and Dead Metal pretty much won that! You have no contest. Bring in somebody more powerful like say.....

Doctor Strange, who's mastery over the mystical editing arts is unrivaled...

...and you may have a chance.

Make it happen, Hasbro!

Kre-O Glavatron Factory Battle - March

Seems like Kre-O is struggling with how to spell Galvatron. The customizer sets misspelled it too, but as "Galavatron".

Incidentally, I wonder what the Kre-O sets will be like. I doubt they'll make anymore "make a giant robot out of bricks", so I guess smaller Kreon-based playsets... but that's a pretty broad idea. Could there still be really big sets (like Lego does), or will they stick to $15 or less (like the few VS sets they've done). Regardless, I hope they take the opportunity to catch up on the first 3 movies worth of bots.

And suddenly, the last TCC comic makes a lot more sense.

We’ve previously mentioned the Transformers Battle Masters in our coverage of the UK Toy Fair, and subsequent toy mentions, but we’ve now obtained some good pictures of both packaging and the figures themselves.

Over at the Idle Hands blog, there are pictures of both package designs and each of the Battle Masters available. The Battle Masters can be operated with two game controllers that are interchangeable. There is also an app for iPad/iPhone to complete the battle. The starter pack includes two bots, “The Diesel Destroyer” Optimus Prime and “The Calamity of Humanity” Megatron. Other single pack bots that will be available include Starscream, Prowl, Bumblebee, and Barricade. Battle Masters are set to be available April 2014.

Check out even more pictures of the Battle Masters over at the Idle Hands blog.

Looks like they should have stopped at Optimus!

Via - Angry Birds Transformers – Toys Coming, Can A Game Be Far Behind?

The Idle Hands Blog has come up with a copy of the Hasbro line-up for this years Toy Fair. But if you scroll down past the My Little Pony Flip And Whirl Rainbow Dash Pony, down below the Nerf N-Strike Mega Tunderbow… even below the Spidey Kapow Action Plush we get to what might be the big news item:

Angry Birds Transformers!!!

Racers – September
Battle Packs – September
Energon Multi-Pack – September
Bumblebee Blast – September
Telepods Optimus Raceway – September

If we are seeing Angry Birds Transformers in a toy line, its not a far leap to speculate there will be a video game offered up as well. Looks like September should be fun.

Here is the blog post they are referring to - Toy Fair 2014: A Hefty Sampling of Hasbro's Lineup

Prowl's deco reminds me of Sari Sumdac:

And Starscream looks like Warpath! And what's with Op's...sumo diaper?!?

Never heard of this game before, and now looking forward to ignoring the hell out of it.

With the shoulders of either RiD Wedge or Animated Sentinel Prime.

Well, at least he's got Armada Starsscream's shade of red.

Doth Primus approve of the toxic fumes from such burnt offerings?

Even warriors of this low caliber should be recycled with full honors. The amount of plastic they're wasting on these guys with oil prices where they are...ugh.

Is this even a transformer product, or is it some other toy brand that hasbro acquired then slapped TF colors on them?

Aside from Optimus, nothing looks like their name. Heck where's Starscream's cockpit. That could have saved more cost by simply repaint the same mold with different color and call it Metroplex, or Arcee.

ok someone must have got the names mixed up cause most of those look nothing like their namesakes. Either that or these werent originally going to be a transformer product but due to poor testing (or just speculation that these wouldnt sell) they slapped on the TF brand to try and make them sell. Besides optimus the others are pretty must just generic looking robots.

The names should be: "Red and blue bulkhead", "Evil purple bulkhead", "Yellow Bulkhead", "Orange bulkhead"...

Optimus is the only one who looks even remotely like he's supposed to.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Not the name mix-up, but your second suggestion.
