First Words on Toyline for Upcoming 2024 Animated Transformers Film

As we previously front paged, there was an hour and a half long discussion with Hasbro's Transformers team yesterday, which you can see below. At the 47 minute mark, a question was asked in regards to whether or not there are two separate teams working on the same Rise of the Beasts characters, since we are getting the same characters in different designs in different lines. And while answering that, BMac gave us the first ever acknowledgement of an upcoming animated movie toyline.
"The same team that works on the (Rise of the Beasts) movie line is working on Earthspark and working on the animated film for next year". We then learn that the team mentioned is made up of four designers and that two are in LA. With a 2024 release schedule it would make perfect sense that the toys are already underway, but it was still fun to hear of it. We've had so little info on the film that this helps make it more concrete. Also, it gives us an idea of what we can expect from that movie's toyline since it would follow the same model as Earthspark and the Rise of the Beasts line of favoring gimmicks while also possibly having more standard offerings.
This also means that we will have 2 movie toylines one after the other, taking up shelfspace next to the Studio Series, Generations and Earthspark toys. So lots of Transformers product coming out way this year and the next.
