I know that and have Bumblebee. Outside of a few early international eBay listings and a seller going by AmazonUK on Amazon NO ONE has seen or gotten Warrior Twitch to go with Bumblebee. Crap, I never published Bumblebee here and it hasn't been newsed yet. It's a really good figure but without Twitch you're only getting half the fun.
Didnt know Twitch had no coverage, give me an hour snd the situation will change

However, no one posted a video review addressing the combination aspect of these toys, until now. While it isn't a mind boggling combination, remember that this is just a third mode for either toy, and a child still has a complete Transformers toy experience with owning just one of them as either can go from robot mode to vehicle mode as traditionally expected. The combination is just a bonus if you get more than one, and it will be cross compatible with the Hashtag figure that was just revealed.

I have pretty much next to no interest in this show, and don't really buy the earth spark toys much. But this hashtag figure looks pretty neat. I especially like the vivid coloration and groovy alt mode. I might just pick her up as a CHUG-adjacent background character for my collection.
I have my own internal transformers universe I made up, so I don't need to get characters based on media, or limit interest based on media. I just get the characters who I think are cool, learn about their personality through play and research, and see where they fit in my own universe. Everyone has a story to tell.

Emails are being sent out via Amazon.jp informing people that the EarthSpark Deluxe Prowl figure will not be happening. This is supporting evidence found this past weekend when the Tomy-Takara Mall marked the anticipated release as "Discontinued" a little more than a month before its release. This figure was a surprise announcement, and was going to be a completely different release from Takara- utilizing the Cyberverse Deluxe Prowl mold, rather than the Cyberverse Deluxe Hotshot Mold that Hasbro repainted for Prowl.
It appears that only the Prowl release (ESD-10) has been cancelled because Thrash(Slash) (ESD-11) is showing available on the Tomy-Takara Mall site currently.

Checked around Japanese sites to see what the deal was since Amazon isn't always accurate with their cancelation info. AmiAmi never offered either figure, HLJ has orders closed on both, Hobby Search only offered Thrash. But then I went to Takara Tomy Mall and found confirmation.
https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810938705/
Of course the one Earthspark that everyone wanted to import over any other gets outright cancelled. I bet they offer it again with the Hot Rod mold.
Best case scenario is they're holding off and doing it later for the next season.

This was the only Takara order that I went for so I am crushed... I am worried about if this gives any credence to the whole Earth Spark cancelled after season 2 rumors-

In story it probably easier for her to to blend in this form than the GHOST van.
They toy reason, its probably easier to design this vehicle into a toy and easier to sell.

In the new issue of Figure King, there is a note that the entirety of Earthspark has been canceled in Japan. I don't know if that means after the release of what we know as Season 2 or that the sales and response have been so poor already that Takara is pulling the plug. Still, it is telling that something that had to be close to rolling off the production lines or sitting in warehouses already is pulled. I'll be honest, if anything that's caught your eye from Earthspark, especially the Japanese version, grab it now. I hope the Wheeljack, Breakdown, and Starscream Tacticons make it out easily.

It might not have helped that every episode of the Japanese dub has also been split in half to make every episode 11-minute-long 2-parters instead of the full 22-minute episodes that they are in the English version.chuckdawg1999 wrote:In the new issue of Figure King, there is a note that the entirety of Earthspark has been canceled in Japan.

At the beginning of May I went on AmiAmi and ordered nearly everything they had for Earthspark except for the one steps since nearly all of it was on clearance. I used the slowest shipping method and it still hasn't been shipped yet, probably won't see it for another 2 or 3 months.

I got the Prime with trailer and wanted that Prowl but didn't get a PO in and well, I'm SOL now. Might go for the Warrior Thrash if it hits clearance but won't loose sleep if I miss out.

It's not entirely unprecedented for Takara to cut short their release of a Transformers line accompanied by an American cartoon. Both Robots in Disguise 2015 and Cyberverse never saw their final seasons released in Japan (or in Cyberverse's case, both its third and fourth seasons).

Unlike what was falsely reported on other Transformers fan sites, the Earthspark line was is still alive and well in Japan. We even have some brand new reveals to share with you with Takara revealing the upcoming deluxe Aftermath and Jawbreaker toys. While we should get these toys in the west, their decos may be different.
They also revealed their version of warrior Elita One, whose head can now swivel, and Hashtag.

The changes to Elita are nice (head swivel, no gimmicky arm), but I al wish they'd do a Deluxe Class version of her. The others look pretty nice, though I have zero clue who Aftermath is.

Aftermath and Hashtag look amazing and are musts for me just looking at them, new Elita I will probably get too. I've been passing on most of the EarthSpark figures so far but if they improve the figures to be cooler looking in a way closer to Animated (like Aftermath is looking) or even the level of RID2015 figures from what has been on shelves so far I'll def get more EarthSpark stuff.
Slowly catching up on the show, just watched the episode where Hashtag is trying to make a documentary to help Jawbreaker find his alt mode, taking it very slow but enjoying anyway... just wish the figures they have been releasing looked as good as these newer deluxes, I've only picked up a medium size Twitch and Thrash so far from the entire EarthSpark set, hope they update a cooler Megatron too, not sure how good his current figure is tbh though.
