Thanks to Brickclicker (who is sent tips on Lego leaks), we have the first image of the upcoming Lego Bumblebee set. This one is also said to be transformable. We can see that this is based on Bumblebee’s G1 design. The release date is July 1st 2024 and it will be going for $90 USD with 950 pieces, which is a much better price per parts ratio than we had with Optimus Prime.
The set number is 10338.

Burger King has been a partner to the Transformers movies
for years and it looks like they will continue this tradition with the Transformers One movie. All we have to go on so far is a post from
Twitter showing a Bumblebee toy that would come in a kids meal. This doesn't transform, of course, but it does have a backpack gimmick. You can see the images of the toy below.

Transformers fans have been taken for a loop lately since information and misinformation is coming from every direction for the Earthspark line.
Rumours Regarding the Show Itself
When it comes to the show, there were rumours that another show was under development. While that is yet to be proven true or false, it brought upon a ton of theories regarding the current show, Earthspark. As of now, all we know is that Paramount ordered two seasons and we are getting two seasons. We do not know if a third season will be coming or how many seasons were planned. A new show is probably in development but that does not mean that it is in response to Earthspark's performance. It may be that the new show is made ot be more in line with the next phase of the TF franchise, now that Transformers One moves it into a new era.
The Mistranslation that Created Misinformation
Now adding to this was a mistranslation of a Japanese site summarizing what they read in a magazine (so already there we have 2 levels of being stray from the actual source). While some fans interpreted the quote to say that the Earthspark line in Japan was cancelled, the actual quote from the magazine said that the deluxe Prowl figure was cancelled. The line itself is not over in Japan, and instead we are getting something that fans have asked for a very long time: Takara exclusive toys.
Which of the New Toys Revealed Today are Exclusives?
Remember the Transformers Go line, where Takara retooled Hasbro toys exclusive to their market? Well those days are back. DX Elita-1 is not really a deluxe Elita 1 figure. It is instead the warrior class toy we got in the first wave from Hasbro but retooled so that the weapon gimmick is removed and so that her head can swivel. She also gets a great deco treatment. So Takara basically turned a warrior class into a deluxe figure. They are doing the same with Hashtag, which as you can see below has been retooled to remove the combining gimmick of the warrior class figure we are about to get from Hasbro.
![Transformers News: Clarifying some TF Earthspark Misinformation: What's Cancelled, what's not and what's Exclusive]( "Transformers News: Clarifying some TF Earthspark Misinformation: What's Cancelled, what's not and what's Exclusive")
Those two toys will not be released in the US or other Hasbro markets, they are exclusive to Japan. And since collector sites are not importing this line, anyone who wants these exclusives have to buy them from a Japanese outlet like Amazon Japan (links below).
The two other toys shown today, Aftermath and Jawbreaker, are actual deluxe class toys we will be getting from Hasbro. We have their listings, they are coming out later this year. However, their deco will not be as detailed as the Takara versions. So if you want this exact deco, then once again you must order from Amazon japan or another Japanese online retailer.

Hopefully this helped a bit, if ever there are questions not addressed, feel free to join us in the message boards.
TL DR
- There is still an entire season of Earthspark to watch for anyone interested, we do not know if there will be a third season, or if one was even planned.
- The only thing cancelled, either by Hasbro or Takara is the deluxe Prowl toy, which was a redeco of the previously released Cyberverse deluxe Prowl.
The Earthspark line is not cancelled anywhere.
- DX Elita 1 and DX Hashtag are Takara exclusive retools and redecos of warrior figures we either already got or will be getting from Hasbro
- DX Aftermath and DX Jawbreaker are molds that Hasbro will also be releasing but their decos will be slightly different

There is no deluxe class in the upcoming Transformers One movie line. Instead, deluxe class figures will be found in the Studio Series line. However, there is the Prime Changer class which is pretty close to what we'd call a deluxe, though still solely targeting kids like warrior class toys. Hasbro had previously revealed Optimus Prime and Alpha Trion but now we can also see Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime for the first time.
We have these images so far which were found the on the Club Jouet website

Emails are being sent out via Amazon.jp informing people that the EarthSpark Deluxe Prowl figure will not be happening. This is supporting evidence found this past weekend when the
Tomy-Takara Mall marked the anticipated release as "Discontinued" a little more than a month before its release. This figure was a surprise announcement, and was going to be a completely different release from Takara- utilizing the Cyberverse Deluxe Prowl mold, rather than the Cyberverse Deluxe Hotshot Mold that Hasbro repainted for Prowl.
![Transformers News: Takara TOMY DX Prowl Cancelled]( "Transformers News: Takara TOMY DX Prowl Cancelled")
It appears that only the Prowl release (ESD-10) has been cancelled because Thrash(Slash) (ESD-11) is showing available on the
Tomy-Takara Mall site currently.
