Transformers Studio Series Crosshairs, Hot Rod, Rumble and The Fallen Revealed

The Fanstream, still going on at the moment, has revealed wave 4 of the 2022 Studio Series line. The new bots never shown before include:

deluxe TLK Hot Rod
deluxe AOE Crosshairs
core Rumble (can fit inside Legacy/Siege/Netflix Soundwave)
core Wheelie
core Laserbeak
core Ratchet
voyager 86 Ironhide
leader The Fallen

The Fallen looks especially big, which is fun for the fans who miss big leader class bots. He comes with his staff which can be separated into 2 pieces, as well as a face removal gimmick. Also, some of his appendages can be easily removed. His alt mode is based on the previous toy.

Ironhide's alt mode is said to be the size of a voyager class toy and the use of voyager class budget helped make a transformation that didn't require partsforming, with many panels to go from a big alt mode to a smaller robot mode that would scale well with deluxe class characters.

There was also core class Laserbeak, Wheelie and ratchet which fans had already seen (and that some already own).

Man, Flame Toys is giving us some deep cuts with their model kits. They have a Gilthor planned. For those not in the know, this was an evil clone which combined both Optimus Prime and Megatron. That always made for a cool design and now we have our chance to get an officially licensed one (if you take the time to build it). It doesn't end there, through Facebook posts from Flame Toys themselves and images taken at the Flame Toys booth at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong show, we also have our first looks at the upcoming Shockwave, BW Megatron and Arcee models. Arcee is the big ticket here since this is the model kit whos preorder starts and it is the only kit where they gave us a full reveal. Those specific product details are below along with all the images mentioned.

Arcee pre-order start !

SRP : US$55
Size : ~16cm height
Material : ABS, PVC

Product introduction :
– This is an modernized and shape optimized Arcee.

– Model kit is made of hard plastic ABS, it will be good for professional model kit users to make his own coloring Arcee.
– With different injection color of runner parts and simple assembly design, it will also be suitable for model kit beginners.

SDCC was the first big look at the next chapter in the Transforners brand's saga : Transformers Earthspark. It is a show that takes place after the war between Autobots and Decepticons has finished and adds an extra layer of lore to Transformers, by having some native to Earth, hence the title. Optimus will be seen by earthlings as one of the greatest heroes of all time and Hasbro is going all out once again ensuring that there will be an Optimus Prime toy on shelves at all times. So in addition to all that was released by Hasbro the other day, we have 2 more Optimus Prime toys coming:

Tra Terran deluxe Optimus Prime
DPCI: 087-26-5856 MSRP: $24.99

Earthspark Spin Changer Optimus Prime with Robby Malto

That later toy was actually on display at SDCC and we have images of it for you, coming from Toyark.

They also took images of the Mandroid BAF figure. He is the main villain of the series and his pieces come with the deluxe toys.

You can see the Mandroid character in action in the trailer below.

Also from Toyark are the shots of the back of 2 toys we had already seem, deluxe Bumblebee and warrior Elita 1.

And finally here is a video on the new flip changers. They are basically the same as 1 steps, but Hasbro added another element to the transformation as you'll see.

SDCC may have wrapped up but it looks like there's still a lot left to talk about when it comes to the future of Legacy! HUGE thanks to our own Seibertronian Nemesis Primal for combing through Q&As and interviews to find many key bits of information about the future of Legacy. His post to our Energon Pub Forums is as follows:

Nemesis Primal wrote:So I've been doing a bit of reading, and between what little Q & A escaped the panel, a video interview done by Shartimus Prime, and the big interview TFW just posted, I have compiled the following list of Legacy-relevant confirmations/hints given at SDCC outside of just the figures we actually saw. Notes so far (*inhales*):

-Legacy Wave 4/Breakdown will be shown at Pulsecon
-Legacy Wave 4/Breakdown are scheduled to come out next year
-Evan mentioned that Menasor's lack of Scramble City compatibility/limbs being dedicated to just Menasor has been well-received and they are keeping that in mind for future potential combiners
-No continuity is off the table for Legacy, Cyberverse is an option
-Animated was given a flat-out confirmation by Evan, Animated characters/designs WILL be in Legacy, the theory of those characters/designs being held up by Cartoon Network rights is incorrect
-Evan cited Animated Lockdown, Ratchet, and Prime as characters/designs he specifically would like to work on
-Legacy Animated figures WILL be G1-ified, HOWEVER the team has also heard the feedback on Arcee/Bulkhead/Knock Out and are working to find a better G1-ification balance
-Titans and Selects are both still planned to continue release, called out the theory of Selects ending specifically as incorrect
-Hasbro is considering 2022 and 2023 both to be the Armada anniversary due to the show's release date in Japan (which probably also explains "RiD 2000 Universe")
-Armada Prime "may happen" for the anniversary, unlikely to be the unreleased Takara-initiated one shown years back but may borrow from it if happening
-Cyber Planet Keys and Cheetor's gut gun both being thought about in terms of potential weapon/accessory packs
-They KNOW people want Tidal Wave
-Minicons are something they're intending to figure out "once they move more fully into Armada"
-Wider release/more allotments of Velocitron Cosmos and his in-store availability are up to Walmart, Pulse cannot restock (sounds familiar)
-Next Haslab is being worked on but has no associated dates yet
-No version of Optimus Prime will EVER be a Haslab (when asked about Armada Prime)
-When asked about a new Cybertron OP & Wing Saber: "it would be totally doable to make a new Wing Saber connect to Siege GUOP" (implying Wing Saber is on the table but Optimus is considered done)
-More Titans from Cybertron are possible albeit daunting due to number (Starscream, Primus, Quickmix, & Menasor all mentioned)
-Evan wants to incorporate Powerlinx into Armada/Energon updates
-Mark and Evan talk about making figures of the 13 Primes "all the time", mentioned The Fallen's tank mode
-As far as Evan knows, Legacy is planned to go for 3 years and is a trilogy (?)
-More non-G1 updates can be expected even if/when Legacy ends
-Evan wants to make Beast Machines Vehicons
-Most obscure characters Evan wants to do in Legacy: Velocity, Javelin, Mistress of Flame, Camiens
-Interest in bringing Fan Votes back
-Expansion into non-G1 was due to designer interest, characters needing updates, and people being sick of the same characters
-Positive reaction to being asked about Omnibots, vague "anything is possible" response given
-More Minibots "will make it in eventually"
-Mention of potential Coneheads rerelease in Legacy
-Evan mentioned "having a few more beasts to get through"

...and on top of all that semi-official stuff, JTPrime has said as of yesterday that Breakdown and Twincast's EAN numbers have been replaced with new ones that change what we thought the next few waves would be, indicating that Wave 4 will now include Needlenose, "Junkion 1", Hot Shot, Tarn, & Leo Prime (at least, don't think we know Leaders-per-specific-wave yet for 2023) in addition to Breakdown, while Twincast has been pushed back to the wave containing Metalhawk and the Wheeljack & Cheetor repacks have been possibly scrapped.

If you actually read to the end, I appreciate you

And there you have it. It looks like the design team isn't leaving much off the table which may well make this the most exciting era of the Transformers franchise. It's a lot to unload but feel free to leave your thoughts in the Energon Pub Forums!

It has been a long time since Hasbro has shown this much confidence in a new show's toyline. They are giving it a marketing push unlike anything we have seen in a decade (neither 2015 RID nor Cyberverse ever got this much attention) with a big presentation at SDCC and a reveal of a new toyline. They have a full breakdown of the toyline, showing the various classes and revealing the gimmicks behind them. It is very varied with a return to form for traditional type toys in some classes and completely new gimmicks in others. Also is it just me or is that shot of Megatron giving some IDW Lost Light vibes?

Check out the info below on the various classes followed by the images:

Revealed today at San Diego Comic Con! Transformers: EarthSpark introduces a new generation of Transformers robots - the first Transformers bots to be born on Earth. With 5 scales in the line, there’s something for everyone.

Better Look at Upcoming Transformers DK3 AKA Diaclone Blue Trailbreaker

Entertainment Earth is setting up their booth at SDCC and we get a better look at that tiny image they leaked the other day showing us the upcoming DK3 which is Diaclone Blue Trailbreaker. This is quite fun for fans who have a Diaclone collection represented by Transformers figures with modern day engineering. And of course, as Transformers toys were repaints of Diaclone toys back in 84 (you can see the original DK3 below), this Diaclone themed toy is a straight redeco of a Transformers toy. We thank TFanpage101 for the pic.

Check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Thanks to TFW2005's on site team, we have images of everything regarding Transformers that was on display during SDCC's preview night. The panels and new reveals are tomorrow but for now we have new images of toys not released yet. We have a good look at the Amazon Exclusive 5 pack of 2007 movie Autobots, which show the difference in paint apps. Optimus and Bumblebee seem to both be missing some paint app details compared to previous releases, for instance. We also see more of Metroplex's third mode, and images of upcoming Shattered Glass releases. It is important to note that Optimus and Ratchet are put there with the rest confirming that they are meant to be part of the same collection (some fans had doubts). We also have shots of a prop 70s Camaro with Wheelie inside, images of the same test shots of Star Saber we saw before and a new promo image of the upcoming Earthspark show which show a different take on Optimus' face.

Hasbro is setting up their SDCC tables and a picture has surfaced from said event which shows the dates for their next big event after SDCC. it seems there will be a Pulsecon 2022. Last year, this was a 2 day streaming event where they revealed the Legacy line. There is lots to reveal this year still since we know that at SDCC all that is said to be revealed will be the upcoming wave of Legacy toys and a first look at the Earthspark toyline. So plenty left for next year's Legacy items, the SS line, the ROTB toys and more Earthspark.

The 2022 event will take place from September 30 – October 1.
