We've gotten some new pictures of Transformers Selects Transmutate. They come from Instagram user tonezone.mp4.

We see more details than ever before, including her unique headsculpt. Select Transmutate will be available as a regular Select figure, meaning you'll be able to buy her pretty much everywhere.

Are you planning to get this radioactive and mutated take of Kingdom Paleotrex? Do you think this repaint/retool is a nice update to the tragic Beast Wars character? Let us know what you think!

Greetings Seibertronians!

After some away time, capturing the enormity of the Chaos Bringer himself (and a couple of other Unicrons), the Seibertron Galleries turn their focus back to the Kingdom line!

Today, we're looking at Wave 1 Core Class Rattrap and Wave 1 Deluxe Class Cheetor. These two (along with Voyager Class Optimus Primal) gave us three out of the five starting Maximals. In the Galleries (linked below) you'll see them conpared to their past versions, spread across different lines. Cheetor as a character has now appeared in projects outside of Beast Wars, in the Cyberverse TV series and is rumoured to be a character to appear in one of the many Live Action Transformers movies. Rattrap, aside from Beast Wars, appeared as Starscreams aide in the first IDW Transformers universe, when the latter was ruling Cybertron.

Of course, you can also see them in a pitched battle with the rest of the Kingdom Wave 1 releases.

Check out the galleries below:

War for Cybertron: Kingdom Rattrap (131 images) - Core Class
























War for Cybertron: Kingdom Cheetor (153 images) - Deluxe Class























Have you seen any of these, or Wave 2 in your stores? Let us know via our sightings page!

Greetings Seibertronians! YouTube reviewer and fellow Seibertronian PrimeVsPrime has uploaded a video review of the upcoming Netflix voyager release of Optimus Primal and Rattrap! These figures are due to be released in wave 3 of the Walmart-exclusive Netflix subline later this year.

Both figures in this two-pack are redecos of their regular Kingdom releases in slightly different colors, mostly featuring a darker color palette. Neither deco is truly any more accurate to their original appearances in the Beast Wars cartoon, so their color schemes are likely depicting what they will look like in the upcoming Kingdom portion of Netflix's War for Cybertron Trilogy.

You can view PrimeVsPrime's video review embedded below:



What do you think of these redecos? Do you think they look better that the Kingdom releases? Will you be picking this up? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

Update!

Thanks to the intrepid efforts of fellow Seibertron user, Alekese, the images have been proved to be the work of a customiser who created these on commission. There us still traces of the original paint that can be found on these figures.

Original article follows:

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Mindmaster, has let us know that a few new photos have surfaced on twitter, reportedly showing two new Transformers Kingdoms (and/or Transformers Selects) products!

The images come from Twitter user, Sousi, who had this to say:











The images show off two grey prototype looking versions of the Transformers Kingdom Cheetor and Optimus Primal figures, with completely new, unseen before heads. Speculation is rife that the Cheetor toy seen here is the leaked Shadow Panther toy, while the is no news of a battle masked Optimus Primal figure, but it wouldn't be unheard of for such a variant to debut as either an exclusive or under the Transformers Selects line.

Of course we also have no idea yet if these are even real as they could be well made customs, so, as always with news like this, take it with a large pinch of salt until more evidence becomes available.

Though as you can see from the image below, they do look like the prototype we have seen in the past like this article from 2016:


What do you think of these images? Fact or faked? Would you have likes to have seen the Netflix Optimus Primal release sport his battle mode head?

Greetings Seibertronians! Following on from the new images of the forthcoming Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Class Slag (and Daniel), Facebook page, DaimChocReports, has shared more new images!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Mindmaster, for sharing this news with us.

The true source of these pictures is unknown at this juncture, but if you know (or are) the true source then let us know so we can credit you appropriately.

These latest images show a better comparison with the already released, Leader Class Grimlock, and a look inside the Dinobots mouth to see his trademark flamethrowers (which look yo be blast effect compatible).







What do you think of these new images? Will you be having this Dinobot politely stepping on Quintesson followers?

Have you felt that recent Masterpiece offerings have priced you out of the line? Well Takara Tomy's new direction for 2021 returning to its roots of realistic vehicle modes and bot modes that combine both toy and cartoon aesthetics also comes with a price that may be hard to resist! Pre-orders are launching now in Japan at a tax inclusive MSRP of 10,780JPY (about $98.50USD), however, Japanese pricing being as it is, retail discounts like those offered by AmiAmi for Skids and Reboost, could be as low as 7,540JPY or only $69 each at the current exchange rate! We've rarely seen new MP prices that low on new figures!

And while Skids is certainly a value at that price while including his two guns, don't wright off Reboost and his enticing pack of accessories including three weapons, a clear holomatter driver and a "Component X" Honda Motocompo compact scooter that can fit in the back of his Honda City alt mode just like the original Diaclone! If you didn't care about Reboost before this attention to detail might change your mind.









































Will you be buying either or both of the latest MPs to hit Japan or is this not enough to get you back into the MP game? Let us know in the Energon Pub Forums!

New Images of Studio Series 86 Slag Leaked

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Aronjlove, we've learned that the folks over at the Vector Sigma Facebook page have dropped a Bombshell, our first peek at the forthcoming Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Class Slag and Daniel!











Slag, following Grimlock before him, looks extremely accurate to the G1 cartoon. Daniel seems to be another non-transforming addition to the figure like Wheelie with Grimlock, but that could be proven otherwise the more we get to see of the figure. Hopefully an official reveal us in our future.

Update:

Thanks to the intrepid efforts of fellow Seibertron user, Mindmaster, we now have a better photo showing off Daniel!

Greetings Seibertronians! With Wave 3 of the Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron line now trickling out to stores across the world, fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime, has uploaded an unboxing, and video review of the 3rd, and potentially last, Spoiler Pack.

Inside Spoiler Pack #3 you'll find a redeco of Siege Megatron (largely looking unchanged from the Voyager set released as part of Wave 1 of this line last year) and a translucent purple Fossilizer Paleotrex redeco (called Skelivore). Accessories wise, you get a Matrix and four straps so Megatron can wear it, and a small D20 looking AllSpark.

You also get some black playdoh like the first set.

There's also text within the box that hints at spoilers within the third part of the Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron cartoon.

We have embedded PrimeVsPrime video below for you to watch and enjoy:



Special thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Dominus Prime for sending this through to us.

What do you think of this review? Do you just want Skelivore? Or are you after the whole package?
