We all had a good laugh at the terribly proportioned
Optimus Prime statue from Lootcrate a few months back. Well, the good folks there didn't want the fun to end there so now they are bringing that style to the Beas era. To celebrate the 25th anniversary, they are giving us a Beast Wars Megatron in the very same vein. You'll let us know what you think and if you'll pick it up. Remember, loot boxes that are not sold will be shredded and stuck in a landfill, as can be seen in the video
here.
You can grab it here on November 21st.

It was just yesterday that we got an official reveal of the first set in the Amazon exclusive Golden Disk subline of the Kingdom toyline, in the form of Puffer and Road Ranger. But today, we get another reveal. Feast your optics on Jackpot and Sights! Jackpot is an Action Master from 1990, and Sights is his partner/Targetmaster. This marks the first true update for this character in 31 years, though his Transformers Animated counterpart did have a figure in the Transformers Subscription Service.
Much like that Animated counterpart, this Jackpot is also based on a previously released figure of Jazz, redecoed and with a new head sculpt, specifically, Studio Series Jazz. Sights, while retaining a flying robot mode, switches from being a bird to being a redeco of Siege Pteraxodon. The description notes that while being caught up in the same time vortex that Road Ranger and Puffer were, it gave Jackpot the ability to transform, which Action Masters never did.
Jackpot and Sights are due in early March of 2022, and you can preorder them at Amazon by clicking any picture of them above, and though their
listing at Hasbro Pulse is up, it is currently sold out.
What do you think of this latest set? Excited to see an Action Master get some love? Surprised that this mold didn't get made into Ricochet first? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub Forums!

Thanks to several Seibertronians for sending in this news, we now have official confirmation and reveals of Kingdom Puffer and Road Ranger!
The description given with these two has some very interesting information. It says the Golden Disk has the power to reveal past, present, and future. In alternate timelines, the quantum surge that turned Beast Wars characters into Transmetals caught up Road Ranger from his timeline, specifically calling him out as a
GoBot, and describes Pipes and Huffer being caught up in another wave of quantum energy and arriving on prehistoric Earth fused together as Puffer!
These two are coming in the first of four Golden Disk sets exclusive to Amazon, with the others yet to be revealed. This set can be
preordered at Amazon now, but it's currently sold out on Hasbro Pulse, though it may be restocked at a later point, as Red Alert was.
What do you think of this set? Excited to get it? Going for more GoBots to show up in the Transformers line? Hoping for more highly obscure decos to show up as new toys? Let us know what you think by sounding off in the Energon Pub forums.

Thanks to a post on Twitter by user @Fc20364, we have photo proof that Studio Series Wave 13 has been found at retail in the U.S.! Jolt and his wavemates were found at a Walmart in Texas, though the exact location wasn't specified.
Though not shown in this picture, Gnaw is a new mold, and part of this Wave. Wave 13 also consists of ROTF Bumblebee, first released in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line; as well as a repack of Jazz.
Are you going to be on a lookout for the electrifying Autobot- especially now that he finally has a screen accurate head? Passing on this figure? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

Greetings Seibertronians!
Following on from our first look at the Dracula x Transformers crossover figure
earlier today, Target has updated the reveal with the item page for
Draculus!
Special thanks to fellow Seibertron users,
AcademyofDrX and
D-Maximal_Primal.
The listing also provides these new images for us to feast on of this unique addition to the ever growing Crossover range that started back in 2019 with the Ghostbusters x Transformers crossover figure, Ectotron.
As we can see, the figure is an extensive retool of Titans Returns Deluxe Class Mindwipe, and has had the Titan Master feature taken out. He also features a cloth cape that was an iconic part of the Dracula character on film.
The inner box that houses Draculus in package has also been designed to resemble a classic vhs.
The official write up for this figure is as follows:
Transformers Collaborative: Universal Monsters Dracula Mash-Up, Draculus
(Ages 8 and Up / Approx. Retail Price: $31.49 / Available: 10/1/2021)
Worlds collide in this TRANFORMERS-Dracula mash-up pack! The mysterious Count Dracula takes on a new form as a TRANSFORMERS robot, called DRACULUS. We are dealing with the undead…an undead DECEPTICON! DRACULUS rises from stasis under the cover of darkness and feeds on the ENERGON of the living. The DRACULUS figure is inspired by the vampire from the 1931 Universal Pictures film, Dracula. The figure stands at 5.5 inches, converts into bat mode in 23 steps, and features details inspired by the Dracula movie, including black and white deco inspired by the black and white movie release. DRACULUS also comes with cape, blaster, and Impaler claw accessories.
TRANSFORMERS robots have always been More Than Meets The Eye, but now, through the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger-than-life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality. DRACULUS is available exclusively at
Target and for pre-order on Target.com beginning September 10, 2021 at 1:00PM EST with limited quantities on Pulse.com.
What do you think of this crossover figure?
Eager to see the other Universal Monsters given the same treatment?
Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews

Greetings Seibertronians!
Carrying on from the news that Target was hosting their
Collectors Spot Fall Geek Out Event (where new Collectors toys are revealed every Friday from the 3rd of September till the first Friday in October), the 1Oth of September is finally here, and with it, a look at the two Transformer toys being revealed.
Special thanks to Seibertron user,
Nemesis Primal, for bringing the update to our attention.
While we've already seen Road Rage, today is the day she becomes
available to purchase.
The other figure though, the Dracula x Transformers crossover figure!
Sadly as of writing, Draculus's store page isn't online yet (rest assured, when it is, we'll bring you all the images and description of this figure). The figure is done in conjuction with the Universal Monsters characters, while the toy itself us a Titans Returns Deluxe Class Mindwipe retool. Until we see better images, it's unclear at the moment if he's a Titan master or not.
What do you think of this reveal? Do you want to see the other Monsters in the Universal line up to get the same treatment?
Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Our
sponsor sites have images of the latest offering from the Diaclone line, Diaclone DA-85 Powered Greater. Now we don't cover the line at length but we did cover the release of
Battle Convoy, which is a "remake" of the very same toy that we call G1 Optimus Prime. And this release is meant to combine with Battle Convoy to turns that into one unstoppable mecha. What's fun is one configuration looks a lot like the Optimus Wing Saber combo we had in the Cybertron line. You can see the images below.
The Diaclone DA-85 Power Greater is an armored machine that completely enhances all modes of the Battle Convoy V-Max (Sold Separately). Several different configurations of the Powerd Greater can be represented with this figure, and the opening and closing cockpits store the 1/60 scale, Diaclone pilots.
Product Features
1/60 Scale
Made of plastic
Translucent windshield

Can be combined with other Diaclone figures to enhance their battle modes

Target has begun their
the Collector's Spot Fall Geek-Out event running from September 3 to October 3 where they'll be making new announcements every Friday across various collectibles lines. Transformers fans wont be waiting long as Target plans to hold a special event this coming Friday, September 10 just for us! There's no telling exactly what they'll reveal, most likely a new exclusive, but the first day held yesterday revealed a
$50 Batman figure from McFarlane that also has an $80 signed variant (both of which sold out shortly after) made for New York Comic Con so the bar has already been set very high. That final day of the event in October also promises more reveals from Hasbro, though probably not Transformers specific.
It's anybody's guess and you can share yours in the Energon Pub forums!

Thanks to our own
D-Maximal_Primal, we've been alerted to a post from Autobase Aichi on Facebook. A reliable source in the past, they revealed a single picture each of Masterpiece figures, those of Crosscut (a redeco of MP Reboost), and Nightbird,a retool and redeco of MP Arcee.
Crosscut was originally released as a redeco and retool of G1 Skids in 2002, in a set with G1 Road Rage. This reveal shows him to be a faithful update to that figure, with the Diaclone style head that Reboost has.
We also have a clearer image of the upcoming MP-55 Nightbird. She's wielding a sword which has its origin with Generations Arcee from 2014. Takara did their own version of Nightbird from that mold, and while including its own sai weapons, it also included yellow versions of Generations Arcee's swords, which this Masterpiece version recreates here.
While there's no word on when they're going to be released, it's nice to see more images of these figures, especially Crosscut, who most people figured would be the natural first retool of MP Skids.
So what do you think of these two, Seibertronians? Excited to add another couple of Masterpiece figures to your collection? Let us know what you think of these two below, and stay tuned for all the latest news and reviews!

Thanks to Seibertronian
EvasionModeBumblebee, we've been alerted to Hasbro's social media channels and their (finally) official reveal of the remaining Studio Series Wave 3 figures for 2021! These images come to us from the Transformers Instagram page, where the reveals have been dubbed #StudioSeriesSunday. We have official pictures of Studio Series 73 Leader Class Grindor and Ravage; Studio Series 74 Revenge of the Fallen Bumblebee with Sans Witwicky; Studio Series 75 Revenge of the Fallen Jolt, and Studio Series 76 Bumblebee Voyager Class Thrust! While these figures have been leaked for a while now (and even found in stores), we now have official confirmation and photos. Check out the photos below!
While they're all transformed correctly, it appears that Jolt has been given a background for Dark of the Moon, or perhaps the first live-action movie, rather than the one for his big scene during the battle of Egypt. Hopefully, Hasbro will rectify this before the figure is released.
So how that we have the rest of Wave 3 officially revealed, do you plan on picking up any of these figures? Grindor will be shipping in cases with Studio Series 86 Leader Class Slug; Thrust will be packed with Studio Series 86 Voyager Wreck Gar; and Jolt and Bumblebee will be shipping with Studio Series 86 Deluxe Class Gnaw.
Let us know what you think about these figures below!

The galleries just won't quit this week, but boy are they nice to look at! Seibertron has been up to his photo magic again with not one or two galleries, but this time, we get a whopping FOUR galleries of recent and recent-ish figures: Worlds Collide Bumblebee; Bumblebee's highly sought after Netflix figure, in his classic VW Beetle mode, and his mold mates Hubcap and Bug Bite.
For those not familiar, Hubcap was a G1 figure released in 1986 as a simple retool of the Cliffjumper mold, with a new head and no spoiler. To add to the confusion, Cliffjumper had also previously been released in a yellow version. Bug Bite was a retooled version of G1 Bumblebee with a cartoon accurate head, released in 2004 in a set with other recolored G1 minibots in a set intended to represent the Transformers' biggest competition in the 80s, the Gobots! Bug Bite would also receive another toy at Botcon 2007. Long story short, Bug Bite, Hubcap, and Bumblebee have long shared a toy history, and now do so again in these latest galleries. You can click on any picture below to be taken to that figure's specific gallery.
War for Cybertron: Trilogy Bumblebee (210 images) - Deluxe Class
Netflix Series Bumblebee (187 images) - Deluxe Class
Generations Selects Bug Bite (149 images) - Deluxe Class
Generations Selects Hubcap (135 images) - Deluxe Class
For those looking for any of these toys, Hubcap can be ordered via
Seibertron's own store, Bug Bite is still available at a handful of online retailers, and the Worlds Collide four-pack should be released in U.S. Target stores sometime in the next couple of weeks. Netflix Bumblebee, however, was a Walmart exclusive, and seems to be the only way we'll be getting Bumblebee in his VW Beetle mode. That Wave 2 of Netflix figures has been gone from stores for some time, and seems unlikely to be reissued any time soon, if at all. For those of you who plan on tracking down the Worlds Collide pack the UPC code is 5010993854783, and the DPCI code (Target's internal stock code) is 087-16-8265. Happy Hunting!

Coming in hot on the heels of
Decepticon Fangry, Seibertron brings us a gallery of another figure from the same Worlds Collide 4 pack, Blackarachnia! Her deco and new head might leave some of you scratching
your heads, because this is not how she looked in the Beast Wars cartoon. But that's what her regular retail release in the Kingdom line was for. This release of the Predacon femme fatale is an homage to her original toy that was released in 1996. That figure was a simple redeco of Tarantulas, which looked nothing like her show model. But many Beast Wars fans may like this version of of Blackarachnia if it reminds them of the toy they had as a kid.
Seibertron captured some fantastic shots of this soon-to-be released Target exclusive, including some comparisons to the figure she's decorated to look like, shots with her Predacon brethren, her regular retail Kingdom release, and the rest of her packmates. Those hoping to do a spider leg switch with the Kingdom version will be happy to see that Seibertron has done it for you, so you can see what that'll look like. Click on any picture below to be taken to these high class galleries.
War for Cybertron: Trilogy Blackarachnia (185 images) - Deluxe Class
Additionally, in order to help those looking to locate this pack when it's released at Target in the next couple of weeks, we've included screenshots of the UPC code on the box, as well as the Target listing showing the DPCI code (Target's internal inventory code).
Happy Hunting, Seibertronians!

Thanks to Seibertronian Thundertron for alerting us to the news that Kingdom Leader Class T-Wrecks is now available for preorder! He's on Target's website and/or app in the U.S., though as of now, he's only available to preorder to those who have Target's RedCard, which is a Target branded credit card, or a debit card tied to your personal debit card.
While he is available to RedCard holders for preorder now, previous information indicated that he'd be available for non-RedCard holders on July 25th, which is indicated as his release date. Thundertron (and myself) was able to place an order, with an arrival date of August 28th to September 2nd. If you have Early Access, you can place your order by clicking either picture above to be taken to his listing page. It should also be noted that even RedCard holders are limited to one figure only. Happy Hunting, Seibertronians!

To the completionists out there, how far will you go? We ask because Loot Crate just revealed one of the items inside an upcoming Transformers themed crate and it looks .... off.
This oddly proportioned 5 inch statue is an officially licensed product and will be exclusive to the crate on the month of July.
The box, which also includes GI Joe and other properties, goes live tomorrow 6/19/21 at 9PM Pacific and it costs $49.99. While it is in limited quantity, any unsold boxes will be destroyed, as we may assume from past instances.
We have many images of this figure that were sent to the
TFW2005 website.
This will be up on the
Loot Crate website.

Gamestop has a new exclusive up on
their website. It is a wearable Transformers G1 Megatron head. An
Optimus Prime head was also previously revealed. It is $109, and needs 3 AA batteries for the eyes to light up. There is some pretty awesome inner sclupting, you can see that in the images below. This product will be coming out in August. We thank D-Maximal primal for bringing this to our attention.

This is good news for U.K. residents, as they now have access to this anticipated figure. Click on any picture above to be taken to his
U.K. listing! He's due to be dispatched on September 1st this year, so just near the end of the summer. Good luck, U.K. fans!

Thanks to Seibertronians D-Maximal_Primal and aronjlove, we have word that T-Wrecks, the Maximal repaint of Beast Megatron, is finally showing up on Target's website! While we've known he's coming for some time, he still hasn't been officially revealed by Hasbro. Perhaps an official reveal is just around the corner?
The listing currently shows the big bot as "Coming Soon", though a little more digging into the listing reveals that RedCard holders get early access to preorder through 24 July, and that all guests (not just RedCard holders) will be able to order him on July 25th.
That's great news, considering a previous figure, Red Wing, could
only be ordered via RedCard access and was never available to order by non-RedCard holders (except for a brief glitch that allowed anyone to order him).
Are you planning to pick T-Wrecks up when he's available to you? Is he just not your thing? Let us know in the comments below, and chick on any of the photos in this article to be taken to the listing.

Thanks to Hasbro, we've been alerted to another Transformers Tuesday reveal from Hasbro! This reveal brings us another of the "Battle Across Time" subline from Transformers: Kingdom. This two-pack, a shared exclusive between Hasbro Pulse and Amazon, contains Maximal Skywarp, a head(s) retool and redeco of Kingdom Airazor, and Sideswipe, now in his Earth Lamborghini form.
Transformers: Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom Battle Across Time Collection Deluxe WFC-K42 Sideswipe and Maximal Skywarp

The Deluxe WFC-K42 SIDESWIPE and MAXIMAL SKYWARP Battle Across Time Collection includes a G1-inspired SIDESWIPE figure standing at 5.5 inches tall that converts from robot to sports car mode in 16 steps and a Beast Wars II-inspired MAXIMAL SKYWARP standing at 5.5 inches tall converts from robot to bald eagle mode in 22 steps. The figures come with a shoulder cannon, blaster and 2 Photon blaster accessories.
The Battle Across Time Collection allows fans to experience the clash between G1 and Beast Wars with MAXIMAL and AUTOBOT team-ups! With SCORPONOK in pursuit, SIDESWIPE and SKYWARP must team up to keep the DECEPTICON-PREDACON threat at bay.

Beastify the battlefield! Worlds collide when the MAXIMALS and PREDACONS join the fight, coming together with the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS in an epic battle that will alter their destiny forever.
