We have more stock images for the upcoming deluxe Earthspark Cosmos along with his instructions, courtesy of Hasbro who just uploaded them to their site. And from the looks of it, this is one unique design where his hollowness is a feature. A lot of thought went into this toy as he was used as a theme park ride on the show, at first, where his innards were hollow. This is replicated in the toy, which not only gives us the result of a big boy at the deluxe level but also allows his legs to fold up inside his big body in alt mode. The transformation is very out of the box and you can see it below.

As you may have gathered from our recent posts, wave 3 of Age of the Primes is out in Canada. Voyagers and deluxes have been found at Walmart. The specific sightings come from Ontario and Quebec. For those wondering, here are the wave contents:
Deluxe:
Aerialbot Fireflight
The Thirteen Micronus Prime
Aerialbot Skydive
Venin
Voyager:
The Thirteen Alpha Trion
Flatline
These were all found at Walmart. While this is earlier than other regions, it does mean that several stores will thus be skipping wave 2, for deluxes, which have been very sparse. We also have reviews of this wave's contents after the images.

Age of the Primes wave 3 is out and some fans, including myself, have made reviews of Micronus Prime, the latest Prime to be released. You can check out the videos below. From the review below, you'll notice that it is a very interesting deluxe as it is a minicon in a mech suit. The toy has come out in Canadian Walmarts along with the two remaining Aerialbots in the wave and Insecticon Venin.

Venin is out and some fans, including myself, have made reviews. You can check them out below. Venin marks the last of the G1 deluxe Insecticons and Hasbro finished that set off with the only one to get a mold all to themselves. From the review below, you'll notice that it is a very odd toy though. The toy has come out in Canadian Walmarts along with the two remaining Aerialbots in the wave and Micronus Prime.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade, we know that Episode 7 of Transformers Cyberworld, "Hunter vs Hunted", is now online. You can see it in the video below with Episode 6 attached at the end but also available in a seperate video below if you need to catch up.
So, what do you think of the series so far? Let us know.

Infantry has teamed up with Transformers for a special collaboration called the Collection Watch Series, which features six different designs. I had the chance to photograph and review the Infantry x Transformers Watch (Prime), better known as the Optimus model. It combines practical features like a quartz movement and stopwatch functions with design elements inspired by Optimus Prime, making it both a wearable watch and a collectible for fans. Each model can be ordered directly, but Infantry also offers blind-box versions that are currently priced lower and add the surprise factor along with the chance of scoring a limited edition.
I was able to check out the Optimus model firsthand thanks to Infantry and put together a full photo gallery. As part of the blind-box series, this watch captures the look and spirit of Optimus Prime in a chronograph that feels solid and well built. Even the packaging adds to the experience, with an unboxing that feels closer to opening a collector’s figure than a standard wristwatch.
What really stands out is how well the design blends Transformers details into a watch you can actually wear every day. The polished silver case looks sharp against the black strap with its blue stitching, and the blue rim with silver lettering adds just enough pop around the dial. The face shows Optimus Prime in blueprint-style line art, paired with the Transformers logo and a red Autobot badge. Fans will spot it right away, but it is not so bold that it feels out of place outside the fandom.
The Optimus watch is not just for show. It keeps time with a quartz movement, has a 24 hour display, luminous hands for low light, and a working stopwatch. The 42mm case gives it some presence without feeling oversized, the mineral glass helps protect it from scratches, and the strap is easy to adjust and comfortable to wear.
At 60 dollars it hits a sweet spot, giving fans something that works as both a practical watch and a collectible piece. In the gallery you can see all the details up close, from the finish on the case to the packaging it comes in. I also had some fun pulling out older Transformers watches for comparison shots, like G1 Autoceptor, Deceptor, Kaltor, and G2 Scorpia. Even bigger figures like Armada Unicron and Power of the Primes Predaking show up, making the shoot a playful mix of new and old Transformers history.

Seibertron.com has added three new galleries from Takara’s Galaxy Force line, each released as a limited DVD pack-in during the series’ original run in Japan. These rare exclusives join our growing archive of Galaxy Force and Cybertron toys, and follow closely on the heels of our recent Walmart exclusive Age of the Primes Sideways and Excellion galleries.
Noisemaze Mass Production Type Version
The Noisemaze Mass Production Type Version was included with the thirteenth and final Galaxy Force DVD in 2006. A redeco of Galaxy Force Noisemaze, known to Hasbro fans as Cybertron Sideways, this figure represented the mass troop type seen in the series, though it was only offered as a DVD bonus. A full gallery of the standard Takara Noisemaze has also been completed and will be posted soon.
Chromia White Version
Released with the ninth Galaxy Force DVD in 2005, the Chromia White Version redeco gave the mold a white and red color scheme as a nod to Masterforce Minerva. The original Galaxy Force Chromia was released by Hasbro as Thunderblast, while this redeco was later repurposed as Cybertron Autobot Chromia. The mold also appeared as BotCon Elita-1.
Exillion Red Version
Bundled with the first Galaxy Force DVD in 2005, the Exillion Red Version redeco gave the figure a look reminiscent of Generation 1 Hot Rod. While still representing Exillion in the fiction, this release would later inspire Hasbro to issue a similar version as Cybertron Excellion. The base mold was originally released by Hasbro as Cybertron Hot Shot.

Takara has revealed through Amazon a new core bot in the Transformers Wild King line, World Dragnus. His official number is WKEX-01 and he turns into a Dragon. It having 10 different configurations shown gives flashbacks to RID Megatron. There are two smaller bots which combine to make this a larger dragon and, of course, it combines in a myriad of ways with the other existing toys in the Wild King line. This toy will be coming out in October, you can check out the images below. We also have a preorder link, but there may be trouble ordering from Japan for Americans. The price is $75 USD.

If you're an American and you've got any pre-orders coming out of Japan at the end of August, maybe 40th Selection Lio Convoy which was delayed to this month, well, you're going to be waiting a little longer. As of August 27 Japan Post is suspending all shipments to the United States. That includes EMS, parcel, small packet and everything else in between. This is on top of DHL also suspending shipments from most (all?) exporters in Japan, leaving really no options to get stuff out of Japan short of freight. And just to add insult to injury this administration has also brought an end to de minimis exemptions, the rule that prevented duties on imports for personal use totaling less than $800 from all countries as of August 28. How that works out is not quite known, some say there's a $80 flat rate on all imports while others say it's 15% up to $80. This uncertainty is part of the reason why Japan Post is suspending deliveries in the first part.
Below is the statement from Japan Post as it appears in English on their website.
On July 30, 2025, the U.S. government issued an executive order titled “Termination of De Minimis Treatment for All Countries” regarding mail to the United States.
Under this executive order, starting August 29, 2025, mail containing goods imported for personal use (taxable mail) will no longer be eligible for duty-free treatment, and tariffs will be imposed. On August 15, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced new guidelines regarding the elimination of de minimis rules, which require that transport operators pay customs deposits to CBP and prepare customs declarations. The procedures that transport operators and postal operators in each country must follow to comply with these guidelines are not clear, however, making implementation difficult.
Therefore, starting August 27 (Wed.), in line with other national postal operators, we will temporarily suspend the acceptance of postal items (small packets, parcels, and EMS (goods)) to the United States that contain the following items:
Individual gifts with a content value exceeding 100 US dollars
Goods intended for sale for consumption
In addition, we will continue to accept letters, postcards, printed matter, EMS (documents), and postal items (small packets, parcels, and EMS (goods)) containing gifts between individuals with a value of less than US$100.
As an alternative to the above suspension of acceptance, our international courier service, UGX (U-Global Express), can handle shipments in compliance with U.S. customs regulations:
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
The latest information on the status of international mail items to be sent to destination countries and regions can be found here.
This is going to put a big damper on Americans importing from Japan until things are sorted out. Let us know in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums if you're being affected by this.

The Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast has returned from their local polling location, except not really. Most of the cast, comprising host ScottyP and regulars Aaarnhide19, Counterpunch and Kuhlio, can't even get to the polls since they're located inside Zuckerberg's wild ride. That doesn't stop them from telling the Transformers community what's best for them and Shockwave. There's also plenty of other Transformers talk including in-hand impressions of the highly anticipated, recently release Studio Series Megatron.
Episode #382 “Vote or Die” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
Here's what we discuss in this episode:
SS86 Megatron is in hand, and has DEMANDED to become a full topic. Find out if the new release is an instrument of destruction, or can proceed on his way to oblivion.
Shockwave has won at the polls. Now as fans we need to decide what alt mode our favorite senator will take. The cast provides the real answers Senator Cyclops refuses to provide.
Live action movies become Paramount. The rumor mill is even hinting at the explosive return of Michael Bay.
The ghost of Mr Starscream poses a question to the team. Follow your new leader and Ask the Twincast something yourself!
Counterpunch continues the interrogation of the cast members, deciding who is guilty, who is innocent- hoping that all will be fed to the Sharkticons.
We wrap up the episode as we always do, with a robust round of Bragging Rights.

Walmart's distribution kicked it up a notch this year by having massive displays of their exclusives for collectors in stores.

While the fanbase has been in an uproar over Michael Bay possibly returning, there has been nothing officially announced by Paramount regarding that as they might not go that direction. However, we now have confirmation that they do plan on releasing more Transformers film in theatres in the coming years. At a media event, the two new leaders of Paramount, David Ellison and Josh Greenstein, said they plan on releasing 15-20 movies per year and some of those films will feature the following franchises:
Top Gun
Star Trek
G.I. Joe
Terminator
Star Trek
Transformers
World War Z
Notice how both Transformers and GI Joe are mentioned, meaning that crossover film is not dead yet. These are all in the live action space so still no plans for more TFOne theatrically under this new administration.

Walmart’s exclusive Seaspray is getting all the attention and reviews but he’s just one of the two new toys in the retro series. The other is Brawn who cones with his toy accurate head. Below is a short review for those curious.
He was found, along with Seaspray, at Walmart in Canada. Distribution seems to be pretty good for this line in Canada so far.

Seibertron.com just leveled up our gallery game with three new additions to the Console Crossovers category under Takara's Miscellaneous section! These awesome figures mash up classic Transformers characters with some of the most legendary gaming hardware of all time:
They might not have come out under the original Device Label or Music Label banners, but they feel like spiritual successors — carrying on that same cool idea of turning Transformers into real-world tech. Just like those Label toys, these console crossovers blend nostalgia for both robots and retro gadgets in a way that is pure fun.
These drop right on the heels of our recent Transformers Collaborative x Sonic the Hedgehog galleries, where Blue Booster and Wingtail brought some high-speed Sega energy into the mix. Together, they show just how far Transformers can go when crossing over into the gaming world.
Big thanks to my brother-in-law v-tron for hooking me up with Sega Genesis Megatron almost 10 years ago. It’s not every day a family member surprises me with a Transformer I don’t already own!
Dive into the full galleries of these Console Crossovers by clicking any of the images below!

Cyberworld has arrived in stores in the west with not much fanfare. That wasn't entirely unforseen since the show is very much a short ad for toys that are very clearly meant for younger kids. Then again, the boxes indicate 6 and up, but after handling them and seeing reviews, the toys seem more akin to 5 year olds, like a slight step above Rescue Bots. Nothing wrong with that as a toy but they seemed marketed towards older kids. My review below compares them to Beast Wars basics, which have similar easy transformations, similar price points (when taking inflation into account) and the same target audience, and the result of that comparison isn't pretty, showcasing a major downgrade in 30 years time.
You can derive your own conclusion from the reviews. The larger toys seem to be faring better, with our own Kanrabat writing a nice review for Grimlock and G2 Megatron. You can find it after the various video reviews. Enjoy!
Balmatrix reviews Cyber Changers Snarl, Megatron, Optimus Prime and Skybyte
Long's Toys reviews Cyber Changer Elita-1, Starscream, Chop Shop, Armored Optimus Prime and Wheeljack:
TRDQ reviews the massive Scorponok toy:
Finally here is Kanrabat's written review for Grimlock and the Walmart Exclusive G2 coloured Megatron:
-Kanrabat- wrote:I recently got my first Cyberworld toy with that big Grimlock. It is way, WAY better than I expected. Sure, the bot is flat, but it does look awesome. Plus the dino mode isn't bad either, once the legs are properly transformed. I didn't expect all that FLAT black paint. Usually, it's always glossy or metallic paint. To see flat "powdered" paint on a toy is a refreshing change.
The one feature I like the most about that Grimlock is the pilotable "mech" mode. I tried 3 riders:
First, the authentic "scout" one. He cannot truly sit, but it works.
Then, the Classic deluxe. Nope. It doesn't.
Finally, the G1 Pretender. He cannot sit at all, but the fit is PERFECT. Pretender Grimlock's feet fit snugly on the seat, and his height is tailored to him. Bonus points, his gun can be pegged on almost all ports.
For around the price of a deluxe, this big Grimlock is a ton of fun!
Compared to the original, he have a new head (with the mask gimmick removed) a new chest part, and 2 new accessories. I have no idea if that original Hound came with a gun of some sort.
Armed up, this new Megatron looks fantastic, but I just wish he had more paint. Especially on his feet and under (where the vehicle's missile pods are) and on the vehicle's windows. I understand that it was to keep his G2 colors as close as possible to the original, but it does not excuse the lack of windows paint.
Despite the no-windows of the vehicle, it still look great and it rolls perfectly. The overall colors are also great. Plus, the new accessories give a basket to the vehicle so that he can carries his baby to school!
Overall, for the price of a deluxe, this new Megs is very, very worth it.

Walmart has been improving on distribution this year for their exclusives. In the US, they got a massive collector oriented display for all collectible brands, and that includes Age of the Primes Transformers. And in Canada, well not only did they stock those same Age of the Primes exclusives but also the latest Retro figures, Brawn and Seaspray. Seaspray has been highly coveted since this exclusive release is a fully new mold to complete our minibot collection at this scale. And lucky for us, everyone who got him is raving about it. Below are video reviews along with a written review by fellow Seibertronian Kanrabat. Let us know if you'll be getting yours.
-Kanrabat- wrote:I got the Seaspray. As expected, it is a mini masterpiece. The vehicle looks perfect, and the bot looks perfect. Without any obvious gaps. However, I find the transformation difficult simply because of some fiddle factor and the fact that EVERYTHING IS SO THIGHT, it's hard to tell if something should move or not. Sure, I would have an easier time if I had looked at the instructions, but I love figuring out the transformation of my new Transformers. Also, there's a huge missed opportunity for the gun to be able to store in the huge gap under the vehicle mode. Overall, it is still a worthy buy.
So, how the new Seaspray hold up VS the old versions? It takes the crown for cartoon and G1 accuracy, but my personal champion is still the old 2009 HFTD voyager (with his son, Breacher.) This old voyager is just a genius design all over. Plus, even the vehicle is perfect looking, even from the underside! I would love a Leader priced 2 pack reissue in "cartoon accurate" colors of this voyager Seaspray and Breacher.
Categories:Site News, Toy News Posted by:Seibertron Topic Options: View Discussion · Views: 26,507 Celebrate 20 Years of Transformers: Cybertron with New Sideways and Excellion Galleries
Sideways, a descendant of the manipulative Liege Maximo, returns with a design inspired by his original Cybertron appearance and comes armed with his signature weaponry. Excellion channels the legacy of Amalgamous Prime, the ever-adaptive member of the Thirteen, with a streamlined look and bold colors that harken back to his earlier incarnations.
Both characters carry with them a strong connection to the mythos of the Thirteen Primes, the first Transformers whose actions shaped the fate of Cybertron and beyond. These new versions honor that heritage while reimagining the characters for a new generation of fans and collectors.
Our galleries feature each figure in both modes, along with close-up shots of their sculpted details, accessories, and nods to their original designs. You will also find comparison images with earlier releases to show how each character has evolved over the years.

While it had been rumoured that Michael Bay was developing a new Transformers film, we now have confirmation of this rumour from Deadline. This was stated in a recent article of theirs as one of Bay’s current projects after he left production of a Will Smith film over creative differences.
So now that we know the rumour to be true, let’s get back to what was initially reported, since some clarification is in order:
Michael Bay is developing a new Transformers movie that he wants to direct. The film currently has Jordan VanDina (The Binge) attached as a writer. The report notes that it was Bay who sought out a Transformers return instead of the studio luring him back.
It is very important to note that Michael Bay is not confirmed to direct the next Transformers film from Paramount. Instead, Bay is putting together a package to sell to Paramount, for them to greenlight. There is no official confirmation from Paramount that they are going forward with Bay’s project.
It can happen in the future, that’s Bay’s goal, but it’s not greenlit as of now.
Also, fans seemed skittish about who the writer would be but we know it’s Jordan VanDina who wrote « The Binge » and not much else of note.
