These look nice, more like traditional one step Changers.

While we know there will be a new kid oriented line coming to shelves this year with Cyberworld, Earthspark has some new toys too and fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 has reviews of them for us. Those include Smash Changers Megatron, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Thrash along with Tacticon Starscream.

Smash Changers work the same way as a spring-loaded One-Step changer but all the transformations are activated by pressing down firmly on the rear of the vehicle. Of the four I enjoyed Megatron and Thrash the most, but all of them would make for fun desk toys.

Looks like Earthspark is going out with a bang as Hasbro will be releasing 2 new molds for their deluxe line up: Soundwave and Hashtag. While Hashtag does look similar to the Takara warrior upgrade, it is a new mold. The similarity is only due to the fact that the toys represent the same character in their new truck alt mode. Soundwave is a nice blend of the G1 character and his Cybertron self. This comes to us from In Demand toys, let us know what you think.

Typical of E.S, #'s face is uncanny and creepy. Soundwave look good enough, but his "bell-bottom pants" look weird and rad at the same time.
This makes me want buy it to make a groovy-soul Soundwave custom.

And neither of these will actually be sold in stores because brick-and-mortar stores have just given up on EarthSpark as the excess of 2022/2023 toys continue to clog the shelves going unsold.

Still haven't found a Thrash to go with my Twitch. These both look good, but I have to wonder if they'll even be available anywhere.

look at Soundwave's knees, his lower legs have been turned to fit in the packaging

Oh yeah. So in the right way his legs will really look like bell-bottoms.
Nice.

I'll get both. Most of the brand-new (i.e. not recycled from Cyberverse) EarthSpark Deluxe molds have been surprisingly well engineered for a toon line, haven't bothered getting toys from the "kiddy" lines since Prime.
Not sure if Cyberworld can beat EarthSpark.

Earthspark is a toyline that just keeps on truckin. While we had the first wave of Smash Changers released in 2025, there will be a second wave with a release date of May. This wave repackages Bumblebee and Optimus Prime but also has Twitch and Jawbreaker which are brand new toys. There is no image of them yet, all we have is a listing of the second wave on Entertainment Earth:
Transformers EarthSpark 1-Step Smash Changers Wave 2 Set:
Transformers action figure converts from toy car to robot mode in 1 easy, exciting step! Tap the toy on a flat surface in car mode to see it pop up into robot mode. Each robot stands about 4-inches tall.
Set includes 4 individually packaged toys:
1x TRA EARTHSPARK 1 STEP SMASH OPTIMUS
1x TRA EARTHSPARK 1 STEP SMASH BB
1x TRA EARTHSPARK 1 STEP SMASH TWITCH
1x TRA EARTHSPARK 1 STEP SMASH JAWBREAKER
(subject to change). Ages 6 and up.

Earthspark still has some gems to give us this year. Fans were excited for the new Soundwave deluxe but there was still question about the alt mode. Well, turns out it looks great too. Unlike many other plane transformers, this stealth bomber is very flat and has a nice wingspan. The Images from Omega The Real on Twitter also show waist articulation and the size, which is the standard deluxe size in the line.
Let us know what you think of this soundwave!

I really dig this Soundwave design. I may well try to pick this figure up! Great alt-mode with one hell of a wingspan!

Obviously not squeaky clean on the underside, but for a deluxe, it pull it off very, very well.
I'll keep an eye out for that Soundwave in case I ever sees it in store.

The plane underside is pretty terrible, but otherwise it looks really good. The wing-boots looks kinda cool.
