The reveals are coming fast and loose. We finally have a good image of Commander class Silverbolt and what exactly is going on with him. As with Legacy Menasor, he is a voyager sized bot that cones with the frame for the combiner. It connects to Silverbolt in jet mode to make a very large jet and can be used as a turret accessory for the bot mode, as you can see below.

We also have more images of Star Convoy, including a hint at the G1 accurate base mode, along with a poster of all the Primes. We even have art of Centaur Onyx Prime thanks to @damnyouwillis on Blue Sky.

We thank Glyph for letting us know of the leaked images of the box art for several figures in Transformers Age of the Primes.

This gives us our first looks at Solus Prime, Silverbolt & Slingshot, plus Animated Wasp, G2 Grimlock (and Wheelie!), Star Convoy, and proper images of Prima and Red Alert.

With Solus, we can see her alt mode as well which shows us that her giant hammer is made up of the front of her vehicle. And the alt mode for the aerialbots shows that Hasbronis going full cartoon accurate with the boxy proportions.

Let us know what you think.

Ok, so there is A LOT to get through. Hasbro is making China's Cybertron Con the place to be for reveals and exclusives. Here is what we have to share with you so far:

- The exclusive SS Commander Class Optimus Prime turns out to be the regular release in a new box with an exclusive sticker sheet that lets you make him as show accurate or toy accurate as you want, with 4 different pair of chest windows. The images come from TFND.

- We have images from Baidu of the grey prototypes for the upcoming Threezero DLX Transformers 2007 Ironhide & Jazz figures.

- More images of the Exclusive MPM Brawl box, though from what is said on Baidu the only thing exclusive is the box, the figure inside is the same we got already.

We have a (blurry) look Age of the Primes commander class Superion and titan class Star Convoy revealed. Though not great images, these are our first look at the toys. They are screenshots of a leaked Hasbro Pulse video. So that means we should be getting our first good and full look soon. Star Convoy has the typical chest so he isn't the same look we saw on AOTP Megatronus' box. JT Prime 17 said that this titan class figure should cost $40 less than this year's titan, but the price is yet to be officially revealed.

Let us know what you think!

A properly colored version of the prototype/test shot of Age of the Primes voysger Red Alert has appeared on Baidu:




No view of the head here, it's probably still missing (like the uncoloured test shot seen previously) but could just be hidden by the chest panel being flipped up.

We have rumours for some 2025 exclusives coming from WreckGar and JTPrime. As stated, these are RUMOURS and may not all come to pass.

Target will have a 2 pack with Animated Nemesis Prime from the Legacy Animated Optimus Prime mold ( the image in the thumbnail is a digibash) and Horribull from the Titans Return Skullcruncher mold. The code for that set is G1374.

There will be NFL crossover projects but very little is known at this point.

There will be a selects G2 Dinobot 2 pack of leaders Slag and Snarl.

The upcoming Micronus Prime figure will be inspired by RID 2015, where he was most prominent.

There wont be a new Vector Prime mold to go with the other Primes for Age of the Primes, Legacy Cybetron Vector Prime is it. We should see a poster for the new line soon.

Or at least some point around it, maybe even thereafter. Heck, listen to it for your week-after-Thanksgiving-return-to-work, that's fine too. This 90 minutes or so of Transformers talk is waiting here for you whenever you're ready.

Episode #364 “Headless Observations” is available directly and in our RSS Feed, and should appear on Apple Podcasts 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:

• More images have surfaced of Prima Prime in robot mode and even some alternate mode leaks. We deep dive into the body of these leaks- hoping the next leaks will be a-head of our next recording.
• Armada Red Alert opens our discussion to how deep the Unicron Trilogy homages will reach.
  
• Hasbro will no Longer Finance Films of their Products. We discuss if or when this will impact Transformers returning to the big screen.
  
• The recurring "40 for 40" segment which takes a look at all 40 years of Transformers takes us the the year 2021 - even if some choices were paid for in 2019.

We have some sad news to share with the Seibertron community tonight. Morgan Lofting, who voiced Moonracer in the G1 cartoon, has passed away at the age of 84, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter. Ms. Lofting unexpectedly passed away at her home in California on Wednesday November 27th, the day before Thanksgiving (in the U.S.), said her agents.

While she was known to the Transformers community as the voice of Moonracer (and possibly Firestar), one of her biggest roles was that as the voice of the Baroness in the GI Joe cartoon.

She leaves behind her family and friends, to whom we give our sincere and heartfelt condolences. Thank you for being a happy part of the childhoods of so many, Ms. Lofting. Rest peacefully.

As for the minibots, these are in hand images from TF fan Throwaway. They show how articulated the figures are along with their accessories.

We have even more images of Prima coming to us from Baidu. While one shows the body with the head, the others have a random Megatron head as substitute to show the articulation and scale. We also see how some of the joints work with the arms being attached to the clear plastic windshield.

Cybertron Con 2024 will be happening December 6th to December 9th at the World Expo Creative Show Club building in Shangai. This is where we are expected to get quite a few Transformers reveals. Apparently, there will be exclusives too, though everything is very vague right now. The hint at exclusives are all due to images popping up of new exclusive packaging for SS 86 Commander Optimus Prime, Masterpiece Brawl and Legacy Magmatron. It is unknown how much the figures themselves are different from the previous releases and if they will be available just at the show or not. With Optimus, for instance, we do see different chest windows that are cell shaded, but it's also a set of stickers. So everything is unclear. We'll keep you updated when we get more news on either of these releases.

The images you see below come from Twitter and Weibo.

Elon Musk Hints at Buying Hasbro

Reading any message board will show that while fans love the Transformers brand and celebrate it, they are often unhappy with how certain aspects are handled. And what usually follows is how it might be better if the brand was handled by someone else. Well, how about Elon Musk? On one of his recent rants, he showed major displeasure towards Hasbro's apparent disregard for the creators of Dungeons and Dragons in the 40th anniversary making of DnD book. He then followed that by "How much is Hasbro anyway", hinting that he'd buy them out of spite so that he could own Dungeons and Dragons.

Now, were it literally anyone else in the world, a comment like that could and would be completely ignored. BUT Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and has bought massive corporations out of spite (Larry David style). Probably nothing will come of this, but it was interesting that the richest man in the world was at odds with the company that owns our beloved Transformers franchise.

If you want more details, Dexerto compiled a comprehensive timeline.

First Look at a Transformers Prima's G1 Sunbow Inspired Headsculpt

After getting images of headless test samples of Transformers Age of the Primes Prima, we finally have a test shot that includes the head. It first showed up on on Baidu. Unlike the body, which was inspired by the Alligned Continuity design, the head is an homage to a character from the G1 Episode, "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4". This character was known as "Powerful Robot" and shared Cyclonus' body, but was later retconned to be "G1" Prima.

Now we know that there are at least 2 different heads on the same spru when making the toy, so with this being a test, we don't know if this is the head Prima will have at retail or a second head to be used for a G1 inspired redeco.

Via @CsbiaoO_ again, here are some new pictures of the AOTP Armada Red Alert test shot, giving us our first look at the figure in robot mode (still minus the head).

He's shown standing next to Legacy United Silverbolt (Voyager) and next to the AOTP Prima test shot, so this also gives us a relative size reference for them. Quite a difference given that they're both listed as Voyager class in the waves leak!

The original images come from Baidu.

Images of Transformers AOTP Prima’s Alt Mode

Via @CsbiaoO_, we have even more images of Prima, this time focusing on their alt mode. The view from the side shows us that it is more functional than some fans thought, with rolling wheels. It ends up being more along the lines of what we’d see from a Cybertronian Ironhide or Ratchet alt mode. The front of the truck appears to be mistransformed though with a panel for the bumper not properly lifted. But that’s just a guess.

Now that we have a better look at the altmode, let us know if you think it looks good or not.

Hasbro will no Longer Finance Films of their Products

Hasbro is going through massive changes. Brian Goldner’s vision was of Hasbro becoming a multimedia company, big on brand content, like Disney. However, the corporate vision has changed since Chris Cocks became the CEO. Since the film division was not working out (several of their bigger investments were not profitable, including Transformers One), it was sold and now we have confirmation from Bloomberg that Hasbro will stop investing in films, Transformers or otherwise. For us fans, that means the future of our beloved franchise lies entirely with Paramount now and what they want to do, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura as their main creative producer to the franchise.

Back to Hasbro’s vision, the article states that it will shift its funds into financing video games. Chris Cocks happens to come from Microsoft and he brought over that tech angle as a way to ensure Hasbro’s future, along with it’s brands. We’ll see if this means a new Transformers game is in the works.

Below is a link to the Bloomberg article along with the relevant quotes:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... m-business

Movies Hasbro co-financed, including the recent Transformers One and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, received critical praise but underperformed at the box office. Last year, the company sold off most of its film and TV business, and longtime rival Mattel Inc. passed the company in annual sales.

While studios such as Sony Group Corp. and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. will continue to make movies based on the company’s products, Hasbro itself won’t co-finance the films. It’s part of a larger strategy to invest more in video and other games, which are popular with kids and adults, and have been taking a greater share of consumers’ leisure time.


“We want to reach fans where they want to play, and increasingly that is through digital expressions of their favorite brands,” Cocks said.

Via @CsbiaoO_, we now have images of the colour version of the Prima prototype we previously saw. Now we see that the chest does indeed open up to store a matrix. We also have a shot at the alt mode (kinda), which would be a cybertronian vehicle truck similar to Kup.

We also have an image of a test shot of Armada Red Alert, coming within the same line. Unlike what many fans feared, it is a fully new mold AND it has a minicon port, which can be spotted around the back of the vehicle.

We thank Glyph and Overcracker for letting us know of these images.
