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

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

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. :VEHI:

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

Did these ever go up for preorder anywhere?

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.
