The Transformers: The Last Knight Toyline gave us series 1 and 2 of the Tiny Turbo Changers, and these were very much enjoyed by fans, especially due to their ability to Transform at such a small price point ($3 USD). Series 3 will be coming out as part of the Bumblebee Movie toyline and its listing was up on Amazon.ca (it has gone since then). Due to these being blind bags, the listing was for such a blind bag and thus gave the entire list of characters that you might get. Here is the list below:

Autobot Dino
Autobot Drift
Ironhide
Barricade
Sentinel Prime
Phantom Strike Lockdown
Silver Knight Optimus Prime
Evac
Autobot Ratchet
Bumblebee
Sky Rage Starscream
Dinobot Slug

That Autobot Dino is pretty great news to fans since this would make it the first ever transforming figure of Movie Dino (aka Mirage) released by Hasbro. It will likely not be licensed though since the only licenses last time were from Chevrolet and Western Star.

It is unknown if Evac refers to the helicopter or the all terrain vehicle. Below is the product description, let us know what you think in the discussion!

I hope these characters also return in the Studio Series, too.

Just a reminder, Evac can refer to these 3 toys:

Transformers (2007) Evac Gallery

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Evac Gallery

Transformers Universal Studios Evac Gallery

... and I couldn't hazard a guess at which we'll be getting. A new mold, another redeco of Blackout? Who knows? Including yet another Bumblebee, that makes 4 re-released molds, same as Series 2

I hate being "this guy" but technically you are wrong, there was a transformable Dino/Mirage

figure released by Hasbro, I have said figure. Granted it is just a recolored version of Legends Class Sideways

from ROTF, and was released in Prime packaging, but it is still declared a movie version figure of Dino

....even though he is named Mirage

.
But don't get me wrong I knew what you meant, since it "might" be a new mold based on Dino

and the fact that he will be released officially with the name of Dino

Anyways I am really looking forward to the mini-figure (if I can find him that is), and maybe this will mean he will get a lager figure like a Deluxe Class in the Studio Series. :-?

I wish I could say universal studios evac but it probably would be the 2007 evac because it would be cheaper for hasbro since it would just be a redeco (or retool) of blackout.

I could see it either the 2007 Evac or the Transformers Ride Evac although I personally am expecting the one from the Ride, it's not like there isn't any presumably new molds in this wave.

Dino, Ironhide, Sentinel Prime, Ratchet and Slug would probably be new molds in this wave so I think it's possible the Evac is a new mold, not to say it couldn't be the 2007 version.

We have the first images of toys from the Bumblebee movie line, kind of. What we have are images of Transformers Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3 and while their listing has them as part of the Bumblebee Movie line, the movie is not referenced on the packaging or even in the choice of characters. Instead, these are simply labelled as Movie Edition, and even sport the Transformers Generations logo. A listing on NDA wholesalers has images of this series' content as well as images of the packaging and case display. These will retail for $2.99 in the US, $3.99 in Canada and £ 2.99 in the UK. They will be packed 24 per case. We only have images of the alt modes for now:

In order from top left to bottom right we have:

Barricade

Sentinel Prime

Ironhide

Evac, who has neither of the previous alt modes associated with this movie verse characrter. He instead has the same alt mode as Crosshairs n this line, meaning that he is more akin to Age of Extinction's Hot Shot.

Autobot Drift, who is a blue redeco of the previous toy, to represent his Age of Extinction self.

Autobot Dino, who is a redeco of the previous Hot Rod toy in this line.

Phantom Strike Lockdown, who homages the animated clear plastic deco the character once sported.

Dinobot Slug

Silver Knight Optimus Prime

Autobot Ratchet

Bumblebee, sporting the modern sports car look and not the look he will have in the actual film this line is a part of.

Sky Rage Starscream

Posted by notsoalex on March 24th, 2018 @ 5:07pm CDT

Hmm, overall these aren't bad. Hopefully, Evac and Dino/Mirage have new faces. For Sky Rage Starscream, I'm surprised that he wasn't based of Skywarp but Red Wing of all Seekers. Also why is Ratchet's grill red? Is there a point to that? And why is Slug's patina coloring is a huge chunk on the head? Shouldn't it, y'know, be a little more spread out on his back? Whatev's, I shouldn't be complainin' much anyway, I mean these are cool little bling bag toys. And to be honest these, like I said, don't look that bad.

Remind me to hold my tongue when stuff are leaked, I am disappointed. Might still get slug and sentinel looks a lot better than expected.

Transformers Tiny Titans Series 3 has been revealed. We have some images of the packaging that they come in that has pictures of what the figures will look like.(Talk about your picture in picture!) Some of the colors may appear different than they do on the actual figure. From what we have heard Ratchet is a brighter neon green. We are still in the process of getting images of the loose figures so please stay tuned for that.

So far we know that the following characters will be included:

Series 3 E 80051 Bumblebee
Series 3 A 80051 Ratchet
Series 3 B 80051 Slug
Series 3 C 80051 Phantom Strike Lockdown
Series 3 J 80051 Sky Rage Starscream
Series 3 F 80051 Evac
Series 3 I 80051 Silver Knight Optimus Prime
Series 3 N 80051 Drift
Series 3 P 80051 Barricade
Series 3 D 80051 Sentinel Prime
Series 3 H 80051 Ironhide
Series 3 G 80051 Dino

If you want a specific character make a note of the letter. Each pack will have a letter embossed somewhere on the back. The letter indicates which figure is inside the pack. For example if you want Bumblebee, look for an E on the back of the pack. Like in previous sets there may also be a small clear window to double check but that may not always work in poor lighting or where figures have similar colors. Happy Hunting!

So is this Hasbro's way of giving us actual toys of the baby dinobots? :lol:

Bronzewolf wrote:So is this Hasbro's way of giving us actual toys of the baby dinobots?

I suppose so.

I'm gonna get that TT Ratchet if it looks good in hand. I am also tempted to get Sentinel. Too bad there is no TT Wheeljack but Wheeljack looks kinda terrifying in the movies so I am not going to complain about not getting one. Also that Lockdown appears to be clear plastic which I am interested to see.

Again I was informed that the colors on the box will look slightly different from the ones on the actual toys. If Ratchet is brighter green then I think that Skyrage Starscream will be more red. He looks pink on the box but I doubt hasbro would actually make him pink. Though "Dino" and Sentinel both look to be red already.

These might also be fun to paint due to their lack or paint apps. Of course they are small figures so I'm not holding that against Hasbro. These are meant to be fun, not super detailed toys. The previous sets sold for about 2.99 IIRC in my area at least.

In the previous article we showed you some images of what the packaging for this series looks like. We now have some better, up close product images of all of the Transformers characters that are included in this series. (Colors may appear brighter on the actual figures.) This way you will know which figures are available in this blind bag set. Have a look at some shots of what their robot modes will look like. If you see a specific character that you want from these blind bags please refer to this article for the embossed letter code to tell who is in which pack.

Good luck on getting your favorites!

Updating our stories about the latest wave of Transformers: The Last Knight Tiny Turbo Changers, which had yet to be seen anywhere at retail or in photography, we have a whole slew of in-hand images of the wee critters below!

We've also re-included the package codes for each figure if you're only after select characters, and Seibertron notes the following for those interested:

Bumblebee is the same as previous releases, based off his Age of Extinction appearance. The red figures are all the exact shade of red. The blue figures are all different shades. Barricade is his Transformers (2007) version and is my personal favorite from this wave, though Ironhide is a really, really close 2nd. Speaking of which, Ironhide shares transformation with Grimlock. Drift is AOE blue versus previous red The Last Knight version. Silver Knight Optimus Prime is obviously recolor of previous version. Ratchet is an obnoxious yellowish neon green color, very different from digital product images. Phantom Strike Lockdown is the same, just translucent. Sky Rage Starscream is a red recolor of previous Starscream figures. Dino is a red recolor of Series 2 Hot Rod.

Series 3 E 80051 Bumblebee
Series 3 A 80051 Ratchet
Series 3 B 80051 Slug
Series 3 C 80051 Phantom Strike Lockdown
Series 3 J 80051 Sky Rage Starscream
Series 3 F 80051 Evac
Series 3 I 80051 Silver Knight Optimus Prime
Series 3 N 80051 Drift
Series 3 P 80051 Barricade
Series 3 D 80051 Sentinel Prime
Series 3 H 80051 Ironhide
Series 3 G 80051 Dino

You transformed Lockdown wrong. His legs get pulled down to extend their his and to move the arms down. I think you also made the same mistake with Drift, but I don't own him, so I'm not 100% on that.

i was going to ask why Crosshairs was blue... #-o

ugh. laziness in development. Evac is one of the coolest new “exclusive” Transformers, created just for the universal theme park ride i believe. so he deserves his own face even if the mold is copied.

other than that, i’m an enormous fan of dope miniatures. i will be picking up a few of these. i might just get all of them except Evac, out of spite lol.

That would make sense though ... something definitely seemed off with those molds.

The 3rd series of Transformers Tiny Turbo Changers is finding its way across the globe and while first being found in Asia, it has now reached North American stores. This latest series featuring small transforming figures of movie characters like Sentinel Prime, Dino and Slug have now been found in Canadian Walmarts. The sighting below comes from your fellow news editor and was found in Montreal, Quebec. These retail for $3.92 CDN and will retail for $2.99 USD once they reach the US.

Below is a list of the characters included in this series along with their codes which are much easier to see this time around due to them being written out in white rather than embossed.

Series 3 E 80051 Bumblebee
Series 3 A 80051 Ratchet
Series 3 B 80051 Slug
Series 3 C 80051 Phantom Strike Lockdown
Series 3 J 80051 Sky Rage Starscream
Series 3 F 80051 Evac
Series 3 I 80051 Silver Knight Optimus Prime
Series 3 N 80051 Drift
Series 3 P 80051 Barricade
Series 3 D 80051 Sentinel Prime
Series 3 H 80051 Ironhide
Series 3 G 80051 Dino

It has been a while since we heard of these. The Tiny Turbo Changers turned out to be a fan favourite line last year and we knew there would be more coming. The third series was found in Canada a few months ago but there was no report of these appearing at US retail. Well now there is. Scottimus Prime found these at Amoc Time Toys in Long Island New York. It’s a comic shop that is not wide range, but it might be in places like these that fans will find them, since the US is now out of one of their main toy stores. You can find images of the series 3 figures here.

They are $3.99 a piece.

Here is a guide to help you find the ones you are looking for. Each package has an embossed letter in the back to let you know this toy is in the package.

Series 3 E 80051 Bumblebee
Series 3 A 80051 Ratchet
Series 3 B 80051 Slug
Series 3 C 80051 Phantom Strike Lockdown
Series 3 J 80051 Sky Rage Starscream
Series 3 F 80051 Evac
Series 3 I 80051 Silver Knight Optimus Prime
Series 3 N 80051 Drift
Series 3 P 80051 Barricade
Series 3 D 80051 Sentinel Prime
Series 3 H 80051 Ironhide
Series 3 G 80051 Dino

Bumblebee is the same as previous releases, based off his Age of Extinction appearance. The red figures are all the exact shade of red. The blue figures are all different shades. Barricade is his Transformers (2007) version and is my personal favorite from this wave, though Ironhide is a really, really close 2nd. Speaking of which, Ironhide shares transformation with Grimlock. Drift is AOE blue versus previous red The Last Knight version. Silver Knight Optimus Prime is obviously recolor of previous version. Ratchet is an obnoxious yellowish neon green color, very different from digital product images. Phantom Strike Lockdown is the same, just translucent. Sky Rage Starscream is a red recolor of previous Starscream figures. Dino is a red recolor of Series 2 Hot Rod.

There is a series 4 coming soon and we will have pictures of that for you shortly.

Some big (yet also small) Transformers toy news slipped through everyone's fingers at SDCC 2018. The 4th series for the Tiny Turbo Changer line was fully revealed with a handful of the line on display. With Seibertron being the first place to fully reveal series 3, it only makes sense we also give you the full scoop on series 4. The big theme here is that while these are all movie designs, many seem to have a G1 deco. There are also some fully new molds which have their movie deco and some toys for the Bumblebee movie such as Bumblebee himself, Shatter and Dropkick in his two alt modes.

So without further ado, here is the entire roster:

So to clarify that is

Volkswagon Movie Bumblebee
Optimus Prime in G1 deco
Dropkick from Bumblebee movie in chopper mode
Swoop (movie Strafe)
Grimlock in gold (G1) deco
Soundwave in G1 deco
Dropkick from Bumblebee movie in car mode
ROTF Megatron
Dragonstorm
Scorn
Ratchet in G1 deco
Shatter from Bumblebee movie in car mode

Bumblebee, Swoop/Strafe, ROTF Megatron, Dragonstorm and Scorn are all new molds while the rest are redecos.

Below are close up images of the ones they had on display which were ROTF Megatron, Optimus, chopper Dropkick, Soundwave, Scorn, Shatter and Bumblebee. You can click on any of the images below to see much more in our SDCC 2018 Gallery for these Tiny Turbo Changers.

I guess they're retconing the name now that they have it back. Back around the time of AoE's development they lost the use of the name (though they deny it) leading to Hasbro using names like Strafe and Ptero until last year for PotP.

Amusing that this seems to be first line to have both of Dropkick's modes (as seperate toys of course)

The 4th series of Transformers Tiny Turbo Changers had been found in the US at several stores like Smith’s Marketplace and Target for $2.99. In Canada, they have been found at Walmart, today, for the same price. However, the codes have not been reported on his site yet. We have them now, which is quite helpful to those who only want a specific character. You will notice that this wave is particularly tied to the Bumblebee movie, and we now know why it includes a blue movie Soundwave.

A Autobot Ratchet
B Grimlock
C Dragonstorm
D Dropkick
E Scorn
F Bumblebee
G Chopper Mode Dropkick
H Soundwave
I Optimus Prime
J Dinobot Swoop
N Megatron
P Shatter

Here are images of the ones I picked up today in both modes with mini reviews for those curious.

Swoop

It's cool how any notion of the pteranodon dinobot being called Strafe is dropped here. While the robot mode looks stellar, the alt mode is really lacking. It does not help that they chose for the pteranodon to have a walking pose rather than a flight pose where the wings are outstretched.

Megatron

I like this one quite a bit. the bot mode is tall and imposing with nice sculpting all around. The alt mode exaggerates the visible head syndrome of the character model but it does so in an adorable. It's funny how this is very vertical for a toy I always assumed as more on the wide side (like a turtle). The transformation is surprisingly more involved than the other toys and even more odd than that, its torso can split and yet that aspect never comes into play for the transformation.

Dragonstorm

This is my favourite of the bunch. A lot of love went into the detail. They did not go cheap, giving us three sculpted dragon heads, that can be posed. The transformaton is cute and very effective. The two modes do look different enough from one to the next.

Volkswagen Bumblebee

Super cute in both modes! But the transformation is very lackluster. The front of the car splits into arms and you split his legs 1 milimeter.

Scorn

I like him more than others since I do not mind the dino mode as much. I like how the dino head fits onto the back spines to make a nice continuation. The waist articulation is fun and comes into play for the transformation. It's basically the most streamlined version of the AOE deluxe.

Aw that Megatron is kinda adorable for how evil he is.

The Dragonstorm looks VERY similar to his Legion class figure just with obvious proportion changes and such.

I so wanna paint those side windows in on Bee

Still never seen Wave 2 for purchase. The Entertainer skipped to Wave 3 and most other stores still stuck on Wave 1.

After BotBots hit the market, few wondered whether the Tiny Turbo Changers would ever make a comeback. Well, they did, once again under the Movie Edition label, Series 5, thanks to a tip from D-Maximal Prime. These pictures of the Series 5 figures come from Wilton Wong on Facebook, as seen here and here.

In Series 5, there is:
Autobot Topspin (new mold based on his appearance in Dark of the Moon)
Scorponok (new mold, with a robot based on the his '07 and Revenge of the Fallen toys)
Long Haul (new mold)
Optimus Prime (new mold based on his appearance in the Bumblebee film)
Megatron (new mold, with a blend of his Prime Wars Trilogy design and the movie aesthetic, possibly based on how Megatron was to appear in the Bumblebee film)
Arcee (new mold based on her appearance in Revenge of the Fallen)
Autobot Hound (rerelease or slight redeco of Series 1 Hound)
KSI Sentry (rerelease or slight redeco of Series 1 Soundwave, as a KSI Sentry)
Crankcase (rerelease or slight redeco of Series 2 Berserker, as Crankcase)
Shadow Spark Megatron (purple redeco of Series 2 The Last Knight Megatron, "Shadow Spark" was used on The Last Knight Optimus toys that doubled as him floating in space and as Nemesis Prime)
Iron Forge Steelbane (blue redeco of the Target 3-pack Steelbane)
Cliffjumper (red redeco of Series 4 Bumblebee film Bumblebee, as Cliffjumper, similar to Speed Cliffjumper)

We see in-hand images of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Cliffjumper, Long Haul, and Arcee, along with pictures of the box.

So thoughts on these upcoming figures? Tell us in the Pub forums below!

I wonder if that Scorponok would fit in with main line figures by any chance.
