New Gallery: Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom WFC-K8 Optimus Primal

With the release of Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom toys just around the corner, I thought I'd try to finish up a few more galleries of figures from the first wave this past weekend. Special thanks to the Transformers brand team at Hasbro for sending us early copies of Kingdom last month.

Next up to get the Seibertron.com extensive gallery treatment is none other than Kingdom Voyager Class K-8 Optimus Primal. The Maximal leader gets what might arguably be the best representation of him released at regular retail to date. Hasbro and Takara Tomy really outdid themselves with this amazing action figure. While keeping with scale, Optimus Primal is a tad smaller than most Voyagers. However, what he lacks in size he more than makes up with features and posability. In addition to his iconic shaped swords, he also features his shoulder cannons and forearm cannons as well. While his robot mode harkens back to his Beast Wars cartoon look, his beast mode is a more realistic gorilla appearance this time around. It is a fantastic update to a much beloved character.

Optimus Primal and the rest of War for Cybertron Kingdom are due to be released in the near future at retail. Some of these products should arrive at the Seibertron Store later this week. You can also pre-order Kingdom products at online stores like Amazon.com as well as our various advertisers.

Will you be adding Optimus Primal to your collection? Are you a big fan of Beast Wars and are excited to see the Maximals and Predacons return to the main retail line? Share your thoughts about Primal and the other Kingdom galleries on our forums here.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #266 “Buzzworthiness”

Sunday, December 20th, 2020 10:38AM CST

Views: 98,123
Another day, another Seibertron.com Twincast / Podcast with host Scotty P being joined by Counterpunch and Rotorstorm to look at the latest in Transformers stuff. That's right, stuff! Bumblebee toys, Headmasters, model kits, the Netflix show, comic books, non-transforming figures and even videogames comprise the content in a multifaceted couple hours of nonstop Transformers talking action. Batteries are not required, unless you're listening on noise-cancelling headphones in which case they might be, only for you.

Episode #266 “Buzzworthiness” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio and many other Podcatcher sites within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:

• The out of nowhere Buzzworthy Bumblebee, now featuring less Bumblebee.
  
  
  
  
• Counterpunch helps us figure out what's up with the next round of Walmart Titans Return Headmasters redecos in "vintage" G1 style packaging.
  
• Earthrise is almost here and Scotty P reminds us why expectations for something set on Earth are kind of oblivious.
  
• Is this new Flame Toys Rodimus model kit looking at Agustin Padilla's MTMTE art, Phil Jimenez's stuff for Dark Cybertron, or none of the above?
  
  
  
  
• Told you they were Mega SCF reborn.
  
• Cyberverse Deluxe figures continue and at least one of us is pleased.
  
  
  
  
• IDW's Transformers #25 - caution, spoilers within - but it looks like most of you stopped reading anyway.
  
  
  
  
• Scotty provides brief thoughts on the Transformers: Battlegrounds videogame released a couple months back.
  
• Bragging Rights take us to the end of another episode and one step closer to the end of another podcast year.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Jojo-Gojira-1939, and Dudicus, have let us know that fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime has reviewed the now shipping; Transformers Selects Voyager Class G2 Sandstorm!

This toy (already in some collectors hands right now!), is based on an unreleased toy when Generation 2 was being made. This Decepticon would have been based on the Generation 1 conehead mold. Now, this release is a redeco abd sloght retool of the Earthrise Voyager Class Conehead mold.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:



What do you think of this release? You looking forward to add G2 Sandstorm to your seeker squadrons? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Aronjlove, and Shiningstar7896 have let us knkw that UK based InDemandToys, have revealed several new items in the previously revealed Buzzworthy Bumblebee line.

These include:

Studio Series 15 Bumblebee Deluxe Class 1974 Camaro Bumblebee w/ Charlie mini figure (looks to be sans the customisable parts the tuner set offered)











Studio Series 26 The Last Knight Deluxe Class WW2 Bumblebee











Studio Series 40 Bumblebee Deluxe Class Shatter (Car Mode)











Studio Series 74 Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Class Bumblebee w/ Sam mini figure















This appears to be how ROTF Bumblebee will get its regular release, compared to the others which are all repackaged re-releases. The packaging is adorned with different incarnations of the character, none of which are representive of these figures at all.

There still has not been any official word from Hasbro regarding this line.

What do you think of this line? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Transformers Beast Wars Beast Generations Mook Review

Thursday, December 17th, 2020 8:31AM CST

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Sabrblade has written up an informative review of the recently released Beast Wars Beast Generation Mook! A mook is a cross between a magazine and a book, and is a popular publishing choice in Japan. The Mook was released earlier this month.

Check out his words below!

Sabrblade wrote:My copy arrived in the mail from HLJ last Friday, December 11, and only now have I had the chance to talk about it.

Before I get into the book itself, I gotta say that the preview pages seen earlier in this thread must have been very early production pages since none of them are in this book. The book's pages aren't even red, they're white. Some of the toys seen in those pages aren't even in the book either. Namely, of all those Blackarachnia toys, the Animated, Legends, Universe, and Binaltech ones are not in the book. In fact, that collection of Blackarachnia toys itself isn't present either. The ones from that group that are in the book are found in their respective sections instead of grouped together like that. Basically, none of the pages in this book look anything like those sample pages.

And now, onto the book.

The cover is as shown below, but printed in black-and-white. The colored version is included, but as a dust jacket over the book's actual cover.



On the back is a list of all the series covered by this book: Beast Wars, Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, Beast Wars Metals, Animorphs, Beast Machines "Transformers: Carrobot", Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Beast Wars Returns, "And… The Aftermath".

At the bottom is a row of eleven symbols, the same eleven seen on the front cover: Maximal, Predacon, Blentron, Animorph, Mutant, Technorganic Maximal, Vehicon, Dinobot, Autobot, Decepticon, and Combatron.

Like the front cover, the back is colorless in light gray while the back dust jacket is in green with a Beast Wars green eye surrounded by red scales.

The inside flaps of the dust jacket feature old advertisement text from the original Beast Wars toyline. On the front flap is the Japanese catalog text that translates as follows:

From beyond the end of the universe, in search of mysterious Power Energy, the super robot lifeform "Transformers" have arrived! The evil "Destron" Transformers who attempt to conquer the universe by abusing Power Energy, and the righteous "Cybertron" Transformers who fight to stop them. With special abilities, each transforms into a different creature! At last, a new battle has begun. Will it be the heroic Cybertrons or the evil Destrons that will win this battle!?

On the back flap is the classic English text from the 1996 Beast Wars packaging:

BIO-GENETIC ENGINEERING HAS ALLOWED THE TRANSFORMERS TO CREATE A PERFECT CYBERNETIC FUSION BETWEEN FEROCIOUS ANIMALS AND MECHANICAL TRANSFORMERS TECHNOLOGY. THE RESULT: HEROIC MAXIMALS VS. EVIL PREDACONS! ROBOT WARRIORS DISGUISED AS WILD ANIMALS IN AN EXPLOSIVE FIGHT TO THE FINISH! THE BEAST WARS HAVE BEGUN ...COLLECT THEM ALL!

The front flap also has a photo of all six deco releases of Transmetal Rattrap: Takara, Hasbro, Fox Kids, Walmart, 10th Anniversary, and the Japanese jigsaw puzzle one. Likewise, the back flap has a photo of seven versions of the Cheetor toy: Fox Kids, 10th Anniversary, Telemocha Series, Hasbro blue eyes, Hasbro red eyes, Hasbro green eyes, and Takara's second-run version with the green cheetah eyes and orange robot eyes.

Inside the front cover is a large photo of RID Air Attack Optimus Primal (not the Japanese Encore version, the Hasbro Toys'R'Us version). Behind this is an Introduction page written almost entirely in Japanese (as is every page in this book, which I'm saying now to avoid having to repeat it throughout). It appears to cover a brief overview of the Transformers brand's history, and contains a short timeline of events from 1984 to 2021, skipping over many years unrelated to the Beast Era.

The Table of Contents shows that the book is divided into three main parts:

• Part 1: Chronicle (pages 4 to 98)
• Part 2: Backstage (pages 99 to 129)
• Part 3: Documents (pages 130 to 143)

Part 1: Chronicle is the largest part of the book, containing a near-complete coverage of almost every single Beast Era toy ever produced (I say "near-complete" and "almost every" for reasons to be given later). Toys that had variants get coverage for most of those as well. For instance, the original Cheetor toy gets coverage for its original green-eyed version, its blue-eyed version, its red-eyed version, and the Japanese rerelease with green cheetah eyes and orange robot eyes. But in cases like Transmetal Rhinox having had dark teal and pale teal Hasbro variants, only Rhinox's darker Hasbro variant is shown alongside his pale gold Takara version.

This section begins with the year 1997, the year Beast Wars came out in Japan. All of the toys covered in this year are those released in Japan, which were first released in the West in 1996, as well as the overseas releases that Japan didn't get. 1998 covers the toys of Beast Wars II, the non-show Fuzors, and the Video Pack redecos of Airazor, Razorclaw, Claw Jaw, and Spittor. 1999 covers Beast Wars Neo's released toys, the unreleased Unicron prototype, the Beast Wars Metals toys, the non-show Transmetals 2 toys, and the entire Animorphs toyline.

Of note about these years is some selective coverage between certain toys that were unchanged between the Hasbro and Takara releases. For instance, B'Boom, Snarl, Claw Jaw, and Powerpinch are omitted from the book because of Apache, Tasmania Kid, Scuba, and Scissor Boy having identical toys, and yet, both Video Pack Razorclaw and Injector are individually covered in addition to the identical Rockbuster and Latolata. Also of note are the facts that the Japanese names of Razorbeast, Transquito, and Scarem are given in this part as ??????? ("Razorback"), ???????? ("Transcute"), and ????? ("Scream"), respectively. Iguanus is even given two Japanese names written as ?????????? ("Igunar / Iguanus").

2000 covers Mutant Beast Wars, a number of the Lucky Draw figures for Beast Wars II, Neo and Metals, and the entire line of Car Robots (including Lucky Draw Black Super Fire Convoy and the complete version of Brave Maximus). The book then jumps ahead a few years to 2004 to cover the Japanese Beast Machines line, Beast Wars Returns. It then jumps backward to 1999-2000 to cover the Fox Kids Beast Wars redecos released in those years. It then progresses forward again to 2000 proper to cover the Hasbro Beast Machines and Dinobots lines. 2001 covers the Battle for the Spark subline of Beast Machines toys, and 2002 covers the Air Attack Optimus Primal and Megatron Megabolt toys from Robots in Disguise. A separate "2001-2003" section then covers the entire Robots in Disguise toyline from Hasbro, and I do mean the entire line: All of the same molds released in Car Robots plus all of the Hasbro-exclusive non-beast toys and redecos.

Following this is what the book refers to as "The Aftermath", Beast Era toys released after the era's end. Beast Wars Reborn, Beast Wars 10th Anniversary, Beast Wars Telemocha Series (including the super rare Mini-Con Dragoyell), the Beast Wars Masterpieces from MP-32 Convoy (Beast Wars) to MP-50 Tigatron (Beast Wars), and the five Wave 1 Beast Wars toys from the (as of this typing) forthcoming Kingdom line (though, sadly, Megatron uses the TakaraTomy stock photography with the orange face and other wrong colors).

Also in this Aftermath part are some things labeled as "Extra", which are additional Beast Era-related toys released in other lines. These include:

• RobotMasters Beast Convoy Black Version
• Universe (2003) Optimus Primal
• Microverse Orcanoch and Arachnid
• Titanium Series 6" Optimal Optimus, RID Optimus Prime, and BM Cheetor

There is also a short essay column about the Transmetal toys pictured with a purple-blue variant of Optimus Primal.

Now, of all of the toys covered in this part of the book, there are a few missing. In particular, none of the following are in this book:

• Any toys from BotCon or the Collectors Club; not even the BotCon Japan Grizzly-1 and Double Punch
• Any of the 2003 Universe toys (aside from the aforementioned Optimus Primal)
• RobotMasters Burning Beast Convoy and Beast Megatron Black Version (the normal RobotMasters Beast Convoy and Beast Magtron are included with their Telemocha Series redecos, but these two are not)
• RobotMasters Lio Convoy (either version), Bound Rogue, and Psycho-Orb
• Legend Commander Collection Convoy (Beast Wars) and Lio Convoy
• Any of the Lucky Draws from Beast Wars season 1
• About half of the Lucky Draws from Beast Wars II, Neo, and Metals
• Any of the Car Robots Lucky Draws (except for Black Super Fire Convoy and the complete version of Brave Maximus)
• Any of the 2009 Universe, 2014 Generations Thrilling 30, or 2014-2019 Legends toys of Beast Era characters
• Power of the Primes Optimal Optimus and Throne of the Primes
• Encore God Fire Convoy, Returns Convoy, and the two Big Convoys
• Masterpiece Burning Convoy and Shadow Panther
• And, as mentioned above, any secondary Hasbro variants of the Transmetal toys (aside from the aforementioned purplish Primal that's given its own essay column).

And yet, despite all of these omissions, this section does feature a ton of obscure Japanese merchandise, such as:

• Collection Figure and Metal Monument Convoy and Megatron
• Cybertron Buster role play gun
• Cybertron Mobile Base playset
• Laser Light Yo-Yo
• Lots and lots of mini-figure series for Beast Wars season 1 and Beast Wars II
• Matrix Cannon role play gun
• Spy Shot & Claw Gun (or Crow Gun) role play gun
• PVC figurines for Beast Wars Neo
• The Spark driver figures that were originally going to be included in the cockpits of Optimal Optimus, Tigerhawk, and Dragon Megatron
• A Japanese cover for the first Animorphs novel "The Invasion"

Part 2: Backstage contains concept sketches for toys both released and unreleased, as well as interviews with seven people involved with the Japanese Beast Era.

The released toys whose concept sketches are featured are:

• Bat Optimus Primal
• Alligator Megatron
• Razorbeast
• Iguanus
• Terrorsaur
• Dinobot
• Waspinator
• Tarantulas
• Gorilla Optimus Primal
• Rhinox
• Airazor
• T-Rex Megatron (with an actual left hand inside his tail weapon)
• Scorponok
• Transmetal Optimus Primal
• Transmetal Rattrap
• Transmetal Cheetor
• Transmetal Megatron
• Transmetal Tarantulas
• Transmetal Ravage
• Animorphs Jake/Tiger
• Mutant Soundwave (originally meant to be Animorphs Marco)
• Mutant Icebird (originally meant to be Animorphs Jake)
• Mutant Poison Bite (originally meant to be Animorphs Rachel)
• Beast Machines Supreme class Cheetor
• Beast Machines Megatron
• Microverse Orcanoch, Arachnid, and their mini-figures

Among the unreleased concepts included are:

• Early designs of Cheetor as a cougar (often mistaken for a wolf) and a lion
• Several early designs for Depth Charge that look drastically different from the final version, some of which are even completely organic, non-Transmetal versions
• A triple-changer Optimus Primal that changes into a gorilla and an eagle
• A triple-changer Cheetor that changes into either a cheetah and a shark
• A triple-changer Dinobot that changes into either a raptor and a cobra; all three of these were proposed "power up" forms for the three
• An early design for Lio Convoy that more greatly resembles Optimus Primal, has a big axe weapon, and a small bat companion
• An early concept for the Animorphs toyline that involved not transforming toys but instead articulated endoskeleton figures that could be covered with human and animal skins to change them between each form
• Early concepts for Animorphs Tri-Rex that, while functionally similar to the final version, somehow look even more freakishly disturbing than the final version
• "Mutant Beast Wars"-style Animorphs animal-to-animal concepts for a "Bee Frog" (either Ax or Visser Three) a "Piranha Condor" (one of the boys), and a "Ram Dragon" (a Komodo dragon, that is, also one of the boys)

There are also concepts for some gimmicks that never happened.

• Bat Optimus Primal with flapping wings
• Insecticon with a pullback motor in beast mode
• Tarantulas with a spring-loaded autotransformation that bounces up with the push of a button
• Gator Megatron with a button-activated chomping gator mouth
• T-Rex Megatron with a projectile-launching T-Rex head that fires like a missile from its neck with a pull of its beast mode tail
• Gorilla Optimus Primal with two flails and a set of two spiked clubs that he holds and spins around in beast mode
• Scorponok's Cyberbee drone originally being a little scorpion drone
• T-Rex Megatron with an extending T-Rex head much like the extending tail arm that his final toy had
• A sort of "Pretender"/Super Mode" version of T-Rex Megatron where a small kibble-less robot figure compacts into a torso mode while a large T-Rex toy turns into a humanoid suit of armor for the torso figure to slot into, and armed with a large trident weapon; think Powermaster Optimus Prime or Star Saber for this gimmick
• A G1 Optimus Prime figure that turns into an Army truck and combines with an organic lion figure that forms armor for Optimus to wear
• One of Depth Charge's early concepts has little shark minions that shoot out of his beast mode mouth and transform into their own robot modes, making Depth Charge a sort of Beast Wars version of Soundwave/Blaster. One of these concepts even has the little shark minion as a dolphin instead
• A triple-changer "Buffalo Crab" Fuzor with two beast modes: a water buffalo and a fiddler crab
• A triple-changer "Shark Mantis" Fuzor with two beast modes:a hammerhead shark and praying mantis
• A Fuzor combiner formed by an eagle and an ostrich fusing to make a "Bigbird" (kind of a large bird with arms; funnily enough, this is the same descriptor for G1 Deathsaurus's altmode)
• A Fuzor combiner formed by a frilled lizard and a rhinoceros fusing to make a Triceratops
• A Fuzor combiner formed by a spider and an ant fusing to make a scorpion
• Early concepts for triple-changer "Beast Machines" that have an organic beast mode and a mechanical vehicle mode: One that turns into a helicopter and a dragonfly, one that turns into a racecar and a crab, and one (that looks a lot like Optimus Primal) that turns into a four-legged cannon tank and a gorilla
• A "Battle for the Spark" bird with a wind-up wing-flapping gimmick in its Spark
• A "Battle for the Spark" figure of Obsidian with a wind-up propeller-spinning gimmick in its Spark
• Wind-up Spark boxes that could be inserted into Vehicon figures to unlock pop-out weapon gimmicks (sort of like what Mini-Cons and Cyber Keys would later do in Armada and Cybertron) or inserted into Cheetor for a beast mode head-turning gimmick
• Spark Crystals that resemble little Matrix cores and could be pushed to activate either a pop-out weapon on an early Optimus Primal design or a spinning rotor and lights and sounds cannon on an early Vehicon design
• A removal Matrix core-looking Spark Crystal that could be inserted into the hips of a very early Maximal design that would later become Cheetor, with the Spark Crystal activating pop-out cannons on its thighs
• A removal Matrix LED battery that could be inserted into an early Vehicon design's chest or arm to activate lights and deploy an arm blade

The rest of this section contains lengthy Q&A interviews with the following people:

• Hideaki Yoke (????) – toy development
• Kozo Itagaki (?? ??) – toy marketing / producer
• Takio Ejima (?????) – toy development
• Hisashi Yuki (? ???) – toy development
• K?jin ?no (?? ??) – toy development
• Ry?ka Yuzuki (?? ??) – Voice actor for Blackwidow (Blackarachnia)
• Yoshikazu Iwanami (???? ) – Japanese version director / story editor

Part 3: Documents features the Beast Wars Data Box with lists of all the toys, episodes and movies. In particular, the specific Japanese toys that were sold in the U.S. through HasbroCollectors.com and Target are given their names written in English: Lio Convoy, Galvatron, Shadow Panther/Tripredacus Agent (both names, yes), Magmatron, Stampy, Saberback, Longrack, Archadis, Mach Kick, and… Colada! Yep, "Colada" finally has an official source for his name spelled as such, rather than the longstanding Engrishy "Cohrada" spelling.

Likewise, Razorbeast, Transquito, Iguanus and Scarem have their name written in Japanese as ??????? ("Razorback"), ???????? ("Transcute"), ????? (????) ("Iguanus (Igunar)"), and ????? ("Scream"), just like in Part 1. Though, of further note is that Wolfang's name is spelled correctly in English, when in Part 1 his English name was misspelled as "Wolfgang". A similar typo appears in Part 3's list of the Beast Machines toys where the word "Heroic" in "Heroic Maximals" misspelled as "Hiroic". Other small typos like this appear throughout the book, but nothing too major and only noticeable if one is actively looking for them.

Finally, the episode guides for each series/movie arrange them in accordance to their Japanese airdates, so they are given in the following order:

• Beast Wars season 1
• Beast Wars II
• Beast Wars Special
• Beast Wars Neo
• Beast Wars Metals: Convoy's Great Transformation (the Japanese theatrical release of "Cutting Edge")
• Beast Wars Metals/Beast Wars seasons 2 & 3
• Car Robots/Robots in Disguise
• Beast Wars Returns/Beast Machines

All in all, the most interesting stuff in this book for me is all of the unreleased concepts for figures and gimmicks, but as a fan of the entire Beast Era, this book is a fine overview for much of the era's toy history.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, and regular YouTube toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, has let us know that he's reviewed two of the many Amazon Exclusives for the Earthrise line, Autobot Alliance and the Paradron Medics sets!

The Autobot Alliance set includes Deluxe Class Earth mode Ironhide and Earthmode Prowl. Prowl is a redeco of Earthrise Deluxe Class Smokescreen, while Ironhide is a retooled version of his Siege mode, adding a big shield to done as his van roof. The Paradron Medics set is part of the Galactic Odyssey series of Amazom Exclusives, and features Deluxe Class Ratchet and Lifeline. Ratchet is a redeco of Earth mode Ironhide with a new head. Lifeline is a straight redeco of Earthrise Deluxe Class Arcee. Lifeline is not part of the review below, which focuses on Ironhide, Prowl and Ratchet.

Check what Chuck has to say:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Finally! After having the date pushed up, then back, then who knows when you're getting it, Amazon delivered my Autobot Alliance set. Having gotten the Galaxy Odyssey Paradron Medic set a week prior were able to compare and enjoy the Nissan van family of Ironhide and Ratchet, out of order. Having been able to enjoy the Earthrise Datsun brothers car mold twice already Prowl feels a little flat, but I was surprised at how tight everything came together. This was supposed to be our first experience with the mold after all. Good luck getting the sets if you're trying, don't give in, and don't pay the mark-up prices.

We have embedded his review below for your convenience:

10 Inch Evergreen Styled Transformers Grimlock and Starscream Found in Canada

Walmart Canada has some new Transformers toys that were not seen in the country before. These are the 10 inch Grimlock and Starscream from the Authentics line. They are leader sized but at the deluxe price. So very simple, yet big and inexpensive for younger fans to have a big transforming toy that they can transform by themselves and that wont break the bank. These use the Evergreen designs we have seen in the past.
They were 19.99 CAD, 15 USD. The previous wave was exclusive to Walmart in Canada, so this will probably be the same. You can see images of the toys along with their transformation schemes below.

Transformers Studio Series SS 86 Voyager and Deluxe Figures Found at Kmart Australia

While the Studio Seires SS 86 voyagers were found in Australia a few days ago, it was in the small chain, Toyworld. But now, they have been found in Kmart. And not only that, but the SS 86 deluxe class toys, Jazz, Kup, & Blurr, have also been found there. Ozformers posted about this on their Facebook page providing info on the exact location and why they think they were put on shelves early:

When the Voyagers were found at a couple of Toyworlds in Victoria last week, it was assumed to be another case of Toyworld releasing toys too early, but today they were being found at Kmart stores in Victoria, along with the Deluxe wave as well... so it looks like this next wave of Studio Series toys, featuring characters from the 1986 Transformers Movie, are indeed being released early in Australia (before any other country), to cash in on Christmas.
Fingers crossed we see these at more stores around the country, and the Leader pack (Grimlock with Wheelie) as well.

IDW Transformers #25 Review

Monday, December 14th, 2020 5:04PM CST

Categories: Comic Book News, Reviews
Posted by: ScottyP
Topic Options: View Discussion ·
Views: 55,185

First off, yes this review is pretty late. Transformers #25 was released last Wednesday, but with nothing coming out for the coming week on 12/16 this review was saved from not being written at all. That's all on that part.

IDW's 2019 reboot of the main Transformers comic universe has reached 25 issues, which like this year itself feels like it arrived in no time flat while also feeling like it took forever to get here. Rather than a grim hurry-to-the-conclusion-due-to-cancellation affair after a dozen issues like the latest failed G.I. Joe reboot, Transformers gets an "Event" book that isn't quite the definition of an "Event" book. Still, it's a double-sized issue to mark the occasion along with the sub-title of "War World" that will presumably grace the next several issues as well, so let's see if this hail mary play ends in a touchdown or just the slow runoff of the clock.


If I ignore my feelings towards issues 1-24 in their entirety and pretend this is issue #1 of a new series, most would probably think that to be a bad idea and a pointless thought exercise. I'm not saying you should do that, but if you want to, it kind of works to be totally honest. Outside of a couple minor references to other events and a necessary familiarity with the general idea of the franchise characters that appear within, this accomplishes the rare feat of being a great jumping on point if you're curious about this new series. If the first 24 issues were the lecture that most students slept through, 25 is the test that somehow got aced by the same students. There's lots of action, a varied cast and very few stretches of walking and talking through hallways/stairwells.


The biggest positive about the book, for me as a longtime Transformers fan, is the number of generally obscure, nobody, D-List non-characters that get use here. It's always fun to see an old favorite that was never more than a toy show up and do something, even if it's still ultimately not much. A fair warning is in order that some of these appearances do end in your favorite old toy getting blown up, but within this issue it feels like it could be in service of something that probably should have happened a long time ago in some Cybertronian war story or another that's in a G1 universe or a derivative of it - the crew members of the Ark and Nemesis/the Autobots and Decepticons that end up crash landed on Earth are shown as survivors of a dangerous war. We'll see if this ends up being a consistent theme as this may be me projecting what I want to see happen onto the plot, but if it is I think this is a good thing, sad as it is to see some cool toys get blown to pieces.


Most of what Brian Ruckley does in this issue was very enjoyable, though one issue that remains is how some of the dialogue could be thrown onto any other character and work just as well. It could be argued that this holds for almost all action-oriented issues of Transformers, which is maybe why it doesn't feel quite as generic here. Or it could be that characters like Ironhide and Brawn feel like characters in this issue, which is promising improvement. Even Hubcap and Strongarm appear to make an attempt at explaining their poorly timed faux-pas from last summer. Hopefully it isn't too little too late, and continued improvement here would still be appreciated.


Anna Malkova handles the lineart for this entire oversized issue, a daunting task that was met with great success for the most part. The panel above with Sentinel Prime and Megatron is one where some constructive criticism can be levied, because while for the most part her work on characters, alt modes, backgrounds and particularly faces on characters with faceshields is solid, I look at Megatron here as an example of something that isn't working for me. While not a theme overall, his nose is too big here, and while that beats the creepy giant lips of Polygon's Megatron on the Netflix show, the proportions are off just enough for me to have a tough time reading his tone. As previously stated, the line work is generally very good throughout, so don't let my words here be too much of a detractor. Joana Lafuente's colors elevate the visual appeal in the issue as well, even serving to help in the transition of scenes from page to page in a way that I didn't notice until a third read through. Jake M. Wood handles the letter work just fine, which is another way of saying that while sometimes the word bubbles can get in the way during action heavy comics, in this case, they do not.

There's a bit of an editorial crediting change for this issue, with David Mariotte and Riley Farmer still listed as editor and assistant editor, respectively. Tom Waltz is now listed as a "Supervising Editor" and while I can't admit to knowing what that means, I'll (irresponsibly, sorry) speculate that maybe the path of the story has been shaken up a bit? The last page of this one had me internally screaming "Finally!", whether or not this has anything to do with that though, I have no idea.

Angel Hernandez and Joana Lafuente handle the art and colors for the "A" cover which is featured in this review's news story thumbnail, and it's nice to see a small dose of Hernandez again for this mini-milestone issue even if I wasn't his biggest fan on interiors. Malkova's "B" cover is inspired by actual events of the issue, with Fico Ossio and Lafuente working on the 10-copy retailer incentive cover that thankfully features 0 characters from Hasbro's Visionaries franchise. As always, you can find all the cover images, full credits for the issue through our Transformers #25


If issue 26 is a big let down I'm going in on it with no mercy. That said, in a vacuum issue 25 is probably my favorite of the main Transformers series since this reboot started. There's action, character work, plot progression and just a fun read in store.

The things that happen here feel significant and were very exciting, but it must be stressed that these probably should have happened a dozen issues ago on books priced at $3.99 and not $7.99. That will be something entirely forgivable if the series can carry this momentum into its next run, which will hopefully be one where it finds its own identity while being an interesting read month after month. So far it has not been able to do this at any turn, but today I'm choosing optimism.

With the big disclaimer that this score is with a lot of hope that this is a turning point and not the bang before a let down, here's the tally:


This issue is out now, and you can pick it up at the Seibertron.com eBay store or at your local shop, check here to find the closest shop to you.
