Courtesy of news site USA Today, we get a look at some official pictures of upcoming Age of Extinction toys, from Deluxe to Leader class. The line, also confusingly named Robots in Disguise, includes Grimlock, Optimus, Bumblebee, Drift, Lockdown, Hound, Crosshairs, finally named Stinger and Slash! Check out the images below and remember - this line is intended for quick, easy transformations for a younger audience, as pointed out in the presentation earlier.
Coming later this year, the Transformers: Robots in Disguise line from Hasbro is built with the younger set (ages 5-and-up) in mind and features a variety of characters from director Michael Bay's upcoming fourth Transformers film, in theaters June 27. Many of the toys will be on display Sunday through Wednesday in New York City as part of Toy Fair 2014.
Eighteen Autobot, Decepticon and Dinobot personalities roll out in the One-Step Changers assortment ($9.99 each, available in May). Youngsters can convert heroic Autobots such as their leader Optimus, loyal soldier Hound, the new Dinobot named Slash and former Decepticon tactician Drift — as well as bad guys like ace Decepticon bounty hunter Lockdown — from robot to secondary vehicle or dinosaur form in one move.
Fans of Optimus' trusted Autobot confidante Bumblebee get a treat with his Mega One-Step figure ($29.99, August). Not only can he switch from robot to sports car quickly, but he also comes with a disc launcher. Just avoid shooting the family dog with flying discs, kids.
Children of the 1980s grew up loving Grimlock, and the ancient warrior returns for a new generation with Chomp and Stomp Grimlock ($79.99, August). The Dinobot boasts a chomping jaw and light-up in eyes in beast mode, and has an easy transformation to sword-swinging robot, too. Grimlock also interacts with his fellow toys — he comes with a nonconverting Optimus so kids can relive the extremely nerdy moment from the trailer where the Autobot rides Grimlock into battle, plus unlock sounds and pop-out weapons. Plus, he can be used with other One-Step Changer figures and has different lights and sounds whether you pair him with an Autobot or Decepticon.
Toy Fair 2014 has yet to officially start in New York City, but we're already getting into the swing of things with some preliminary reveals! Today Hasbro were presenting their wares to their investors, and the slideshow was made available to Seibertron.com. They touched upon the following:
- The new film, talking about its theme of 'a truck looking for a friend', and the inclusion of the Dinobots.
- The subdivision of the franchise with Rescue Bots, Age of Extinction and Generations lines for three types of fans, from younger to older.
- CyberTRON Monday: online midnight madness event in May and various launches around the world leading to Age of Extinction premiere June 27.
- The redesign of the brand with new packaging, logos and digital platforms; several new games coming in 2014.
- Demonstrated the new simplified transformation for toys on stage (for younger fans and Age of Extinction), though no footage available. Products included: Stomp and Chomp Grimlock one-step transformation; Mega one-step Bumblebee.
- Rescue Bots taking on new dinobot forms, Optimus becomes Primal - Season 3 announced.
- For the committed fan: Generations and Platinum Edition lines (popular in Asian and North American markets). Products included in presentation are Leader Jetfire, Deluxe Windblade and Masterpiece Soundwave.
- Battle Masters Transformers, previously revealed.
If you wish to listen to the presentation yourself, take a look at the embedded video below, courtesy of Seibertron himself.
Check out below for an overview of what 2014 will bring in terms of transforming robots, including the previously announced Jetfire and Windblade.
In a bit of a preemptive strike leading up to this weekend's big Toy Fair event Hasbro decided to drop an pretty big reveal on us this morning during their Toy Fair 2014 Investor Day Meeting! We have our first toy image of the Fan Built Bot winner Windblade! Not only that we get another shot of the previously revealed Generations Leader Class Jetfire. We'll provide a more detail summary of the meeting later today, but wanted to go ahead and share Windblade. Check out the toy image below.
We just received news, thanks to Seibertron.com staff member xRotorstormx, that not only does Grand Rapids, Michigan, have a relatively new comics convention next November, it will also feature special guests Livio Ramondelli and Mark Mekkes, as well as many more big names in the industry! Check out below for more information on the event.
Grand Rapids Comic-Con Announces First Guests

We've just received news from the people over at The Loyal Subjects, producers of licensed vinyl Transformers replicas, that they are planning quite the bash over the Toy Fair night, at an off-site location. If you're in the area next weekend, head over to Toy Tokyo for a chance to meet some of the best artists, customisers and designers, incuding from Hasbro - check out the flyer and more information below!
Next Saturday, we're having a party at Toy Tokyo in NYC to kick off all the new and great Transformers releases that are coming from TLS this year, and it's during Toy Fair. We're having a big party featuring 30 of today's best customizers and artists taking their hand at customizing the 8" Optimus Prime DIY figure from The Loyal Subjects. Each Custom piece also is accompanied by an original piece of art (painting, illustration, sculpture, etc). All things Transformers, celebrating the 30 Year Anniversary and the big year that is 2014 for Transformers.
We're also releasing an exclusive Transformers Hoodie (Zip Up Shockwave Hoodie) and Tee (Slag). Only 24 pieces avail on site. We're also debuting the 3" Ultra Magnus, blister carded - an edition of 500. Only 48 pieces available on site, along with the Cybertron 2 pack set and the Rainmakers Set (again only 48 of each set available at the show).
Some serious Hasbro heavy hitters are included in the show and definitely the super stars that work on Transformers - most notably John Warden, Joshua Lamb and Mark Maher.
This is going to be a great night so everyone should come out and have an amazing time. Beverages (including the ones we love) and snack will be on hand as well as a few surprises.
Courtesy of the Autobase Aichi Facebook page we have many additional images of the officially licensed Transformers products that were on display at Wonderfest.
First up we have Mega Drive Megatron from the Takara Tomy Arts line. The figure transformers from a Sega Genesis console and controller into Megatron!
Next we have an advertisement for the 55cm (approximately 22 inch) non-transforming Scorponok figure from Gigantic Action. Unfortunately the figure itself was not on hand, but this still gives us a good look at the prototype.
Fewture by Art Storm had a large display featuring many new figures and some of their previously announced products. Probably the most eye catching item is the prototype for a highly detailed giant Unicron head! They also have three new non-transforming figures int he works; Alpha Trion (160 mm - about 6.5 inches), Grimlock (180mm - about 7inches), and Optimus Prime (170mm - about 6.5 inches). Alpha Trion features alternate shoulder pads and head that allow him to become A3. Grimlock comes with an alternate head, sword, and both guns. Optimus Prime comes with his usual array of accessories; energon axe, ion rifle, and Matrix of Leadership. Rounding out their new products, two new super deformed figures; Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime.
Previously announced products included Ultimetal Optimus Prime and their Roadbusters, both super deformed and articulated non-transforming action figure style.
Lastly we have images from CM's Corp. On display was their upcoming Spike and Daniel Excel Suite set, which includes a Grand Galvatron minifigure and Master Sword Disk accessory. They are also teasing what appears to be a future Deathsaurus project based on the silhouette on the right side of the table.
