We got potentially bad news for fans. TF fan Jared contacted us to let us know that his order for Studio Series 102 voyager ROTB Optimus Prime has been cancelled. His friend's order was cancelled too. We don't know if this is an isolated incident or not, but we wanted to share it with you. Has this been happening to you? Let us know! Thought it might be interesting to know that in addition to Hasbro Pulse cancelling orders recently for Legacy Nacelle, a friend and I both had our orders for - Read More

Posted September 26th, 2023 at 7:56am by D-Maximal_Primal - 39,733 views
During the course of Pulsecon, it was noted that Studio Series was once more absent from reveals. Thankfully, we will not have to wait long for more from the toyline. Thanks to Hasbro’s Ben MacCrae over on Instagram, we have news that the Studio Series line will be seeing some reveals next month. He notes that they did want to do some reveals, but given the limited time, the Legacy reveals, and the Hall of Fame announcements left no time for those reveals. This is good news, as the first - Read More

Looks like Ratchet may have a new Dark of the Moon repaint coming in the MPM line. Champion Toys on Facebook has posted a preview of what appears to be a repainted MPM-11 Ratchet in his DotM colors. There's little else to go on outside of the image so things like price, release date and retailers will have to wait until later, but not much later as the image says all will be revealed on September 7.

It also includes a figure from the upcoming ReActivate video game.

It should be a different price point from the rest and there - Read More
New set of Unconfirmed Leaks for Studio Series Includes Unfamiliar Titles

Posted August 19th, 2023 at 7:56am by Emerje - 111,095 views
Another set of leaks from Jtprime17 posted to the Seibertron Pub forums by Munkky seems to run the widest spectrum of figures yet for the line. Some of these we can only speculate on and others are likely errors (like MV6 Frenzy which is probably the 86 repaint). But there are a few references that we haven't previously seen like "Deluxe HM Megatron" (another High Moon Megatron?), "Next Gen Bumblebee", and two figures marked as "A Level AST" without price classes, one of which is "MV8 OP".

Best Look at Upcoming Studio Series Leader Optimus Primal with Comparisons

Posted August 14th, 2023 at 11:43am by william-james88 - 71,867 views
Thanks to a new review, we have our best look yet at the upcoming Studio Series leader Optimus Primal. The review shows that the transformation is very involved for every limb, something which has not been the case with any Rise of the Beasts Optimus Primal toy. This gives us a good look at the scale of the figure compared to Optimus Prime. You'll let us know if it works well enough for you. With the Studio Series line, the focus was always on robot mode scale rather than alt mode scale but - Read More

With a lot of news to get through, we wanted to share this great interview from Variety with the CEO of Paramount, Brian Robbins. While this interview covers all the Paramount films, it does give us some incite on Transformers Rise of the Beasts. The CEO points out that the film did not do great and that the main reason they attribute is the big budget which blew up due to COVID along with reduced income from Russia (who used to be the 6th biggest market for these films) and a major - Read More
Hasbro Talks About Studios in Studio Series and Activision Game Rereleases in Q&A

Posted July 31st, 2023 at 10:25am by Emerje - 88,261 views
Often when talking about Studio Series and the progression from live action movies to animation to video games the question of what exactly is a "studio" comes up. Thanks to a Q&A held by TFW2005 with the Hasbro Transformers team (and thanks to Seibertronian Munkky for bringing this to our attention) we get some insight into just what qualifies as a studio. The short answer is, well, basically everything including comic books. Q: So we kind of hit on this with the comic talk, but just to - Read More
Transformers ROTB Drops out of the Box Office Charts with the Lowest Performance in the Franchise

Posted July 30th, 2023 at 11:47pm by william-james88 - 61,031 views
With the advent of Barbenheimer taking up a lot of screens and it now on Paramount Plus, Rise of the Beasts' time at the Cineplex is nearing its end. At least for the US where it has dropped from the top 10 chart, coming in 14th place this week-end. The film's horrendous drop in the second week-end made it look like it would be the worst performing film in the franchise and as of now that is still the case when looking at the global numbers. The good news is that in the domestic box office, - Read More

Rise of the Beasts Director Confirms that Continuity is not a Concern within the Transformers Film Franchise

While the title is obvious to many, it's nice to see it affirmed and it does give us a new perspective for the franchise going forward. There was a glimmer of hope that the never ending talks about whether or not the Transformers live action film franchise was rebooting with these newer films would end once Rise of the Beasts came out. But it didn't because the film chose not to be too much of a change stylistically from the other live action Transformers films. Plot wise, connections to other - Read More

Rise of the Beast Box Office Report: Film Slips to 5th Place Domestically But Reaches 340M Globally

Posted June 25th, 2023 at 10:42pm by william-james88 - 65,555 views
This was a very interesting week at the box office. Due to the new Jennifer Lawrence film, No Hard Feelings, Rise of the Beasts (ROTB) slipped to 5th place on the domestic box office, bringing in 11M. Flash bombed harder than ROTB' terrible numbers from last week, but still beat it with 15M. This lackluster box office made Spider-verse regain the number 1 spot. You cans see the domestic numbers below. Internationally, everyone got outdone by China with their new film Lost in the Stats which - Read More

Scarlett Johansson is on the press junket right now for Asteroid City and Collider asked her about her thoughts on Transformers 1. Here is what she said: Yes, I'm playing Elita. I'm working with Josh Cooley, who is an incredible writer-director who I adore and have worked creatively with in another capacity.

Rise of the Beasts' Box Office Crashes in its Second Week-End and Might Make Less than Bumblebee

Posted June 19th, 2023 at 9:23am by william-james88 - 61,533 views
While it was all good news last week, with Rise of the Beasts getting that "Number 1 Movie" title, it was short lived success. While the Flash did very bad at the box office compared to expectations (it made less than ROTB on its opening week-end), it was still number 1, and took that spot from Transformers. What's sad is that as a result of the crowded market, Transformers sank from number 1 to number 4 on the domestic chart, beaten by Elemental and Spider-verse. That last one is a bit rough - Read More

ROTB Wheeljack's Nerdy Redesign was a Demand from the "Higher Ups"

Posted June 18th, 2023 at 11:01am by william-james88 - 63,465 views
Regardless of what you think of the Rise of the Beasts film, it shows that the director and writers did see the robots as the titular characters that they are rather than giant props in the background. Steven Caple Jr, the director was a fan of the source material and did good on his word to provide a Transformers movie with a focus on the Transformers as much as he could (we previously wrote why that's usually not the norm in these films). So it begs to reason why Wheeljack was such a change - Read More
New Transformation Video Shows Simplicity of the $60 Ultimate Optimus Primal Toy

Posted June 16th, 2023 at 6:00am by william-james88 - 72,870 views
When Takara announced their Ultimate Optimus Primal, many thought this was a return to form for leader class toys. In reality, it's more of an oversized figure, along the lines of Supreme Starscream or Ultimate Predaking from the Prime line that also had electronics and missiles and was just made for kids. While there is plenty to love about that too, we just want you to get a good sense of what kind of toy this is before spending $60 on it. The video Takara posted on Twitter shows the - Read More

Rise of the Beasts Exceeds Box Office Expectations as Number 1 Film Domestically and Internationally

Posted June 12th, 2023 at 12:21am by william-james88 - 26,707 views
It was a tight race but Transformers has claimed the number 1 box office spot for this week-end, both domestically and internationally. Domestically, it got 60 Million dollars compared to Spider-verse's 55 Million. However, it should be stated that Spider-verse outperformed Transformers during the actual week-end. The reason why Transformers ends up on top is due to the earlier showings during the week. The film also made 110 Million internationally (so everywhere other than the US and Canada) - Read More

Transformers Rise of the Beasts' Cinemascore is Better than Several Recent Marvel Films

Posted June 10th, 2023 at 11:27pm by william-james88 - 25,111 views
While fans can loathe critic scores till the cows come home, they haven't shown to have much of an impact on box office success. For the Transformers franchise, it's even an inverse relation at times. And this can be said for the box office at large. A better predicter for success is Cinemascore. This is basically the equivalent to word of mouth but through standardized surveys. These have become almost binary even though they are on a gradient. Basically, films with strong word of mouth get - Read More

The Transformers live action franchise has gone through a lot of ups and downs in the past 16 years. It was once a billion dollar box office champion, but as of late it is unclear if it can still get back to those glory days. While Bumblebee was a critical darling (the Rotten Tomatoe score has a higher percentage for critics liking it than fans), it didn't bring that much at the box office. That didn't matter as much since the film cost a lot less than previous Transformers movies but now, with - Read More

Western films are included in the sanctions related to Russia at the moment, so Transformers Rise of the Beasts could never have a legitimate release there. However, through a bypass release (aka smuggling), the film will be released in Russia with Russian dubbing. It is not sure if it will be shown in all cities and since this is a bypass release, any revenue it will generate will not be counted towards the global box office for this film. It is due out there June 15th. The dubbed trailer is - Read More
