This is technically just to say that there is absolutely nothing to see here. However, since it was brought up in the community, we just wanted to set the record straight.
Fans have found this message on the Hasbro Toy Shop FAQ sparking some worry:
At Hasbro, we strive to provide our customers with the best possible experience with our portfolio brands. As a valued customer, we wanted to let you know that our brand websites have changed and will no longer sell products directly. That said, you can still access your account and check existing orders using your login at Hasbro Toy Shop.
However, as it states, it is only from direct branding sites, like Transformers.com, which in the past had some items you could order directly like the first Studio Series toys.
We reached out to Hasbro just to see if we were undertanding clearly and this is what they told us:
It just means that you’ll need to go to HasbroToyShop.com to make purchases, as they will no longer be available on Transformers.Hasbro.com.
So, as always, Hasbro Toy Shop will be the main place for Hasbro to sell directly to customers, it wont be other peripheral brand sites. So basically, nothing changed and you can go back to enjoying life. And speaking of all the great stuff we can be happy about, a ton of next year's awesome Transformers output was on display at Tokyo Comic Con 2018, so check it out.

Here is a massive spoiler, Bumblebee has a speaking role in the movie. While he will be beeping and buzzing throughout most of it, it seems he will be speaking at some aprts, like in the begining or on the Cybertron sequence. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura spoke with IGN to reveal this exclusive info, also confirming that Bumblebee's mythology is being reset with this film.
"Since we were approaching this as an origin story, we felt that it was appropriate that you got to hear his voice," di Bonaventura said of the character who thus far has only been able to communicate using existing media. "That’s the simple logic that we employed. The longer term implication of that is different. But the short-term implication of that is, since we really are resetting the mythology, essentially, of who Bumblebee is. And so, that seemed to us to be the appropriate, to get the chance to hear what he sounds like."
The voice actor in question will be Dylan O'Brien from Maze Runner and Teen Wolf. Here is what di Bonaventura had to say:
"Dylan has that great quality in his voice of youthful exuberance, and also sort of trustworthiness," the producer explained. "I think those are the two qualities that we wanted Bumblebee to have."
"Thankfully, we’ve showed it to a few audiences, and people seem to think that it’d be right and an appropriate voice," he said. "You never know, obviously that can be a sensitive thing for people. But it turns out, they imagine his voice that way."

Thanks to TF Factory on Weibo, we have new stock images for Transformers Studio Series Optimus Prime (ver 2) and Bonecrusher. Both of these are voyagers that will retail for $29.99 USD in January 2019. Optimus can combine with the upcoming leader Jetfire (the previous release cannot). We see the backgrounds they come with and it is both the same image of a highway, reminding us where the fight between Bonecrsher and Optimus took place in the first live action film from 2007. This Optimus serves a double purpose then of being both Optimus from the first film and from the second one where he combines with jetfire, ultimately making the previous release entirely obsolete (aside from some nice swords). That makes sense, of course, since Optimus Prime did not change any significant detail of his robot mode between both those films.
Studio Series with more pics of Megatron and Igor, as well as more images of Jetfire, his combo with the new Optimus Prime, and every other release.
Siege, with finished toys for Starscream and Ultra Magnus. We can see where the battle damage will be on Starscream's alt mode. We also get a good look at Ironhide which has a really odd colour pallette. While he looks unifnished, there is no mention that he is a prototype and he even includes the final battle damage deco on his feet.
Masterpiece with more shots of the Optimus Prime ver 3 grey model.
G-Shock Optimus Prime display.
Samurai Sword display.
Merchandise booth with the feudal Japan theme for both Optimus and Megatron.
The Bumblebee movie display included Encore Big Convoy and our first look at his box which is a perfect homage to his original packaging. Regarding Bumblebee, there was a big event with Tessho Genda, the voice of Optimus Prime (and Batman, Kratos, Sylverter Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Japan, who confirmed was going to voice Optimus again for this film. There was also a video from Hailee Steinfeld introducing the latest trailer. This can be seen below.

TF-fan kev777 wrote:Great news for anyone who wants to get you some Botbots. Amazon currently has the Techie Team, Sugar Shock and Toilet Troop 5 packs available for order at $9.99 each.
Over in Canada, the blind packs containing one figure were found at Toysrus in the province of Ontario for $3.99 CAD each. They were in the Transformers section, and not the blind bag area. This was reported by Lioconvoy81 over at Cybertron.ca.

A list has surfaced on Weibo for 2019 products in collector oriented Hasbro Transformers line. This list includes toys we already know about, like Siege leader Optimus Prime but also toys we had no clue of until now, like Dark of the Moon Leader Optimus Prime (it seems only a matter of time before every Transformers toy released is another Optimus Prime). The list was found on Baidu and includes the product number for each release. The new Siege toys listed, like Skywarp, Greenlight, and the Firestormers will be exclusives, probably similar to the multitude of POTP exclusives we got in 2018 (ie Nemesis Prime, Wreck-Gar, Punch/Counterpunch).
Seeing Greenlight here, under the Siege line, means she will probably be a retool of Chromia and also not sport a combiner peg (no fembot combiner for you!). Slamdance, under the Firestormers, might be a redeco of Skythread. You can speculate as well, of course.
As for the studio series we have a voyager KSI Bot, deluxe hightower, an unknown and the aforementioned DOTM Optimus Prime.

Following our last news post regarding this new "Generations Selects" toyline (previously called "Select Series"), we finally have new images of the first two releases, Deluxe Class Red Swoop and Ricochet! These two figures are redecos of Power of the Primes Swoop and Jazz respectively. Red Swoop is based of the original G1 toy's colors (which can be found on the stock renders for the Power of the Primes toy), while Ricochet is meant to evoke the Headmasters character Stepper.
Details on these new figures from Hasbro:
Transformers Generations Selects:
Generations Selects is a fan-dedicated collection of figures featuring special edition, limited release versions of Transformers characters. They’re mail-order only, shipped in special packaging exclusive to this line. We launched this line for our fans to expand their collection and make it truly unique.
Power of the Primes Dinobot Red Swoop:
The original 1985 Transformers toy release of Swoop had red deco. TFans can get a Swoop with red deco inspired by the original G1 toy. You won’t find it in stores!
Power of the Primes Ricochet:
Ricochet deco is based on the 1987 Targetmaster, known in Japan as Stepper. It has the character’s classic flame deco, as well as sleek gold rims and gold accents.
Both figures are limited-release and mail-order only.
Additionally, the figures are also up for preorder at Entertainment Earth, and appear to be exclusives! Each are $19.99 and will start shipping out February 2019.
Exclusive! Transformers Generations Selects bring back favorite characters from across the globe as exciting entrants into the Cybertronian Wars. Big robots join the Siege with this Transformers Generations Selects Deluxe Ricochet (Stepper) - Exclusive! Figure is compatible with Combiner Wars and Power of the Primes Deluxe and Voyager toys (sold separately) to serve as a limb in a custom giant robot. Autobot car transforms from sportscar to a robot with a fist and a blaster. Black and gold car inspired by the super-rare Japanese Targetmaster toy Stepper.
Red Swoop's description:

Hot on the heels of these official new images of MP-44, we now have another new image which shows Prime leaping into the air firing his gun, a pose ripped out of the 1986 Transformers The Movie. The image was found on a Japanese blog site. Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Cyberpath for bringing this to our attention. According to the blog, the image is an advertisement put out by Takara Tomy Mall in a magazine.The image shows that the ¥50,000 price listing was indeed correct and is the MSRP for is. It is with mentioning that that price may see up to a 30% reduction once its Amazon Japan listing goes up, so it may be worth keeping an eye there. However, shipping will cost extra and its unknown at this point if it will be shipped to places outside of Japan.
We have mirrored the image for your convenience below.
We also have another preorder up for MP-44, this one couresty of site sponsor, RobotKingdom.com .
The pre order here is listed at $369.99 which is one of the best yet but does not factor shipping which could increase it to $450+ depending on where you are as it is
Shipping from China.

There is an absolutely gorgeous display of Studio Series figures at Tokyo Comic-Con 2018 right now. They arranged the figures per film so there are six seperate displays (with some extras to fill out the TLK display). The main attraction here is the full reveal of leader Dark of the Moon Mgatron. This is the full finished figure, so this gives us a perfect idea of how he will look like when he comes out next year in the second quarter. He does still have those boxy lower legs, as expected, but he looks rather magnificent (aside from the tarp's fabric pattern), and Igor is there too. We also get a great look at Jetfire and his monstrously sized face. The images come from Twitter user @QVx9l3YcRlSEntk.

The sighting was made by fellow Seibertron user, ScottyP, who also shared this photo with us.
The toys were found at Target in Holly Springs, NC. They were retailing for the usual price of $19.99.
