Just noticed the emblem on Megatron's chest...

I know that the TFCC as in the company that made all those exclusive repaints hasn't existed in years but there was going to be a panel at it which was called the "Transformers collectors club"

Anyone else thought of Earth spark Shadow striker. I hope. Shadow striker so needs a good toy!

Looking pretty good. And I see they come with parts that let you build a Mandroid figure, too.

Pretty sure that leaked listing turned out to be Velocitron G2 Dragstrip

Really looking forward to the Deluxe figures, they look like a lot of fun and do some interesting things.

Main line Legacy, not Velocitron, the name resurfaced in recent computer listings for next year.

Twitch looks worryingly thin/delicate. :-?

Glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed that.

In what way? She doesn't look any more delicate than any other figure to me. She even has metal pins in almost all of her moving points, ball joints in the others. Maybe the clear yellow "fins"(?), but that's no different from your usual helicopter blades and being on ball joints makes them less likely to get bent.

Earthspark toys are looking good. I am excited to get Megatron, Bee, and Twitch, and Elita-1 too at some point.

Twitch just screams Roche, and that is why I think I am most excited for her

Some Earthspark figures are up for pre-order on Hasbro Pulse!

https://hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers

From the page for the Megatron figure: "Deluxe Class figures bring Transformers robots to life from the television screen right to your home! Classic silver and black Megatron toy as seen in Transformers: EarthSpark animated TV series stands at an impressive 5 inches tall! Convert Transformers Megatron from robot to armored aircraft mode in 11 steps."

Sorry - but in WHAT universe does 5 inches tall count as 'impressive' for a Transformers figure...?

Many men tell women 5 inches is impressive.

That's what SHE said - heyo!

Does anyone else think that it looks like they took Fixit's head from "Robots in Disguise" and slapped it onto Twitch's body?

Kinda, but it also looks like a young Ironhide head. Lots of thematics in headsculpts get reused to give a sense of familiarity within the brand.

The Earthspark line will soon replace Cyberverse as the mainline for Transformers toys on shelves. That's what you will see more of than any other line, in terms of product quantity, with the same characters appearing in multiple size classes for different price points and gimmicks. The entire line is aimed at kids BUT the Nick Roche designs have attracted older fans to the show and toyline and the deluxe toys are anticipated by fans of all ages. So, it is cool to now know all toys coming out in the deluxe line to build the Mandroid figure (he is the main villain of season 1).

Those deluxes are:

1 - Bumblebee
2 - Megatron
3 - Terran Twitch
4 - Optimus Prime
5 - Shockwave
6 - Grimlock
7 - Nightshade

This is pretty big news since it means there will be Shockwave and Grimlock on the show, something we did not know yet. Nightshade will be another terran transformer that will come in later in season 1.

We will get our first look at these characters in the back of the packaging of the deluxes coming out next month.

We thank Griffin from Ozformers for the images and reporting, which all took place at Ozfest.

Still wish Elita was a fully-engineered Deluxe class toy instead of an under-engineered Warrior class toy.

News Credits: 14 · Mon Oct 17, 2022 11:36 am

Quick takeaways:

Large Spin Bee is a brick no doubt due to the gimmick.

Mandroid is intriguing, but why are the #5,6 and 7 figures needed to build him, redacted? Story Spoilers?

Twitch and Megs seem to be the best out of the lot at this point.

Elita-1 looks pretty good. Though her alt-mode reminds me of Prime Bulkhead

So what are the classes here:

Spin Changers
Deluxe
1 step
Finger changers.

Other than looking like a de armored version of BH Bulkhead, I like Elita. Other than the flip out gun gimmick is she any different than the Deluxes?

Also, what the heck is that packaging now? It's like they just tied them directly to the Studio Series base and said "Nah, we don't need an overbox. :SICK:

Simpler and less points of articulation.
