All through October Big Bad Toy Store has been celebrating their 25th anniversary with a month of weekly exclusives ending on the 25th. There have been silhouettes teasing some obvious Super7 ReAction figures for today in the even more obvious shapes of Unicron and Grimlock on the site all month. The reveal is at once disappointing and intriguing.
Grimlock is the same metallic Grimlock that was revealed this week as part of the regular retail line while Unicron is the same figure released at this past SDCC. The catch here is that both figures come in G1 style boxes that look pretty nice compared the usual card backs. Grimlock is $25 and Unicron is $30, both are available right now. It is kinda cute that they think if Unicron was released in 1986 he'd come in a window box.
Also, following up with the previous story on new ReAction figures we now have pictures to go with the listing.

Feels like forever ago that we first fond out about Hasbro and Walmart's next batch of cartoon colored G1 reissues, but the day has finally come! As part of Walmart's latest Collector Con orders have finally opened for Optimus Prime and Bombshell with Ramhorn. People concerned about the pricing of Prime with his trailer in particular will be happy to know that he's priced at $75, that's quite the contrast to the 2018 reissue of just Prime without the trailer that was $50 on its own! Meanwhile the other set is $35 to finish the Insecticons and give Blaster another tape.
And no, this is not a pre-order, these are ready to go now!

Today Hasbro gave us our first look at the upcoming Transformers Collaborative STAR WARS: The Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter! Interestingly, unlike other Collaborative releases that gave the figure a new name Hasbro decided to go old school and do what they did with the preview Star Wars crossover line and simply gave the name of the character it looks like and the alt mode. In this case the box simply states it's the Mandalorian and the N-1 Starfighter. The MSRP is $55, a little more than other recent Collaborative releases, but he's also a bit bigger at 7.5" placing him within the usual Leader class range (for comparison Agent Knight is 6.5") assuming they're measuring to his head and not his shoulders.
The figure is listed on Hasbro Pulse as a "Partner Exclusive" and Walmart.com is also listing the figure as part of their latest Collector Con meaning it'll likely only see release in those two places in the USA. Both stores have it listed for release in February 2025.
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: Transformers robots have always been -- More Than Meets the Eye -- and now fans can experience Transformers characters as they mash-up with iconic characters who share this same quality

The iconic N-1 Starfighter from Star Wars: The Mandalorian is now a converting Transformers toy! This 7.5-inch (19 cm) figure converts from character mode to N-1 starfighter alt mode and features series-accurate deco and details from The Mandalorian series. It includes 6 blast effects that attach in both modes, 2 blasters, and a shield and cape that convert to a display stand for the figure in starship mode. 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.

Super 7 will have a reveal today for 6 new figures and this will probably be one of them. Found through Diamond by Crazybarkz, we have our first good look at what appears to be Diaclone Devastator. What makes him Diaclone as opposed to G2 is the fact that not all Constructicons are yellow. We have an image of the artwork for the original Diaclone figure for you to compare.
The other reveals we should get later are
Rumble (red)
Ghost of Starscream
Grimlock Metallic
Arcee (prototype)
Optimus Prime (Nucleon Quest Special Mission)

Prowl is coming to Transformers Earthspark in Season 3. While it was first seen as the second half of season 2, it has since been rebranded as a third season to the show. Nickelodeon and Paramount Plus have revealed the poster and trailer to this third season and both feature Prowl prominantly. You can check out the trailer, poster and description below.
In season three, a giant-size Dome divides the town of Witwicky and traps the Decepticons inside, but it can’t hold them forever. The Malto family and the Autobots must figure out a long-term solution, and help arrives from an unlikely place. While doing all they can to get life back to normal again, a mysterious saboteur threatens the Autobots, and Robby and Mo face a ruthless foe who challenges their right to wield the power of Quintus Prime.
New to the series are Emmy® winner Eric Bauza (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, DORA, Looney Tunes Cartoons) as Prowl, an old-world Autobot detective who follows his instincts and trusts the facts. He’s highly suspicious of Optimus’ new alliances, but Prowl always finds the truth he seeks. And Betsy Sodaro (Glitch Techs, Big Nate, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) as the Quintesson Judge, Commander of the Quintessons (the first “sons” of Quintus Prime), and she feels it is her birthright to possess the power of the Emberstone. She’s wise, dangerous, and her ego is so large that it’s no wonder she has five heads.
Previously announced guest stars, "Weird Al" Yankovic as Cosmos, Zelda Williams (The Legend of Korra) as Spitfire, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea as Aftermath and Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd) as Fairmaestro return to the series to lend their voices.
TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK stars Sydney Mikayla (Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts) as Robby Malto, Zion Broadnax (Day Shift) as Mo Malto, Benni Latham (Cornerstones: Founding Voices of the Black Church) as Dot Malto, Jon Jon Briones (Ratched) as Alex Malto, Kathreen Khavari (Dead End: Paranormal Park) as Twitch, Zeno Robinson (Big City Greens) as Thrash, Danny Pudi (Community) as Bumblebee, Alan Tudyk (Resident Alien) as Optimus Prime, Rory McCann (Game of Thrones) as Megatron, Cissy Jones (The Owl House) as Elita-1, Diedrich Bader (Better Things) as Mandroid, Cyrus Arnold (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) as Jawbreaker, Z Infante (Dead End: Paranormal Park) as Nightshade and Stephanie Lemelin (Dawn of the Croods) as Hashtag.

Fans were all in on the new Transformers comic. Not only did it sell very well, by consistently being one of the 10 most sold comics every month, but it also won the highest prizes for comic books.
Well after its first year, the comic is now dipping in the sales charts with last month being the first time to not feature in the top 10. And while in previous months it was outselling every DC book, it's no longer the case.
To recap the past 3 months, here has been its positioning:

A listing had shown up for an Ark Playset from Super 7, the company that makes the ReAction figures. At $75, we couldn't expect too much, but it turns out people had to set their expectations real low. The "Ark" element of the playset is just a piece of carboard for the background, no different than what comes free with Studio Series figures. The bulk of the $75 goes to the Megatron and Optimus figures that come in the set along with the base acting as terrain. This is similar to previous Super 7 playsets, being a callback to toys from the 70s. It is currently available for preorder on Walmart.com.

Not only do we have the Naruto reveal to day but Walmart also revealed their new subline which has Generations toys in a retro packaging with colors and some tooling based on their G1 toys. The two they revealed are Bumblebee and Gears. Gears is the Legacy toy that we just got with a new toy accurate head while Bumblebee is a rerelease of the Walmart exclusive Netflix toy which keeps that head as this toy so that both can match the looks of the G1 toys Walmart released in 2018.

Remember "Project tails" which referred to a Transformers collaboration project? While people thought it was Sonic, it turns out it was referring to a 9 tailed fox, which is what Kurama turns into in this upcoming Naruto collab. The mold is based on the Cheetor mold but extensively retooled. There are also effect parts specific to this set to simulate the powers seen in the show.
This collab will be a two pack as there is an accompanying core class Gamakichi figure which turns into a frog.
We also have news from JTPrime that there will indeed be a Sonic/Transformers crossover, even though this was not the one, and there will also be a Batman crossover and a MOTU crossover. Can't wait to see that one.

With this being the 40th anniversary of the brand, not only do we get the most cartoon accurate CHUG scaled Optimus ever with the commander class release, and Takara and Hasbro versions of the idea of the G1 Optimus toy with modern articulation BUT but we also get a reissue of the original G1 Optimus Prime toy in cartoon colors. Below we have two reviews showing just how extensive the deco changes are from previous versions. And we also see that all the mainstays of the G1 toy are still there, like the rubber wheels and die cast.

The Transformers Legacy United line has had an odd release schedule with confusing waves. Initially, there were meant to be 3 core class and leader class waves with new characters, meaning wave 4 would only have deluxe and voyager class figures. But now that the line was extended into 2025 with 2 more leaders, the numbering gets all over the place. Hence why we are describing these new sightings as part of the initial fall wave which was just deluxes and voyagers. And both these classes have indeed been found at US retail. The deluxes were spotted at a Walmart in Florida while the voyagers were found at a Meijer in Illinois. The sightings were by bruteslayer101 and Chicagolander respectively who posted their findings here.
The toys found include:
G1 toy deco Metalhawk
Animated Universe Decepticon Motormaster
G1 toy Optimus Prime
G1 Quake with Heater & Tiptop
Cyberverse Slipstream
The deluxes have this case assortment:
3x Optimus Prime
2x Slipstream
3x Quake

Catching up on the Wonder Festival which took place in Shanghai, Blokees showed prototypes of upcoming Transformers model kits. They are branching out in size classes and media type. While it was all G1 and Movies so far, they revealed an IDW Megatron. He looks pretty cute in this slightly chibi design. He will be released in one of their standard blind box lines. They also showed their classic class TF One model kits, which are not blind boxes and come with more parts, and they introduced the Action Edition class. This is an 18 cm tall model kit with more details and more parts. We can see with this Megatron of theirs that you can even remove pieces to get a different look.
These are all official images from Blokees themselves.

Those who are into this year’s Haslab are in for an amazing update. Evan, the designer, has filmed a 1 hour video going through all the toy’s intricacies. That includes a full transformation to each mode and the combination. This is using a sample available at the time, and while the video was just posted, it was filmed over a month ago.

Looks like Canada and the US are getting Transformers Studio Series 86 Commander Class Optimus Prime all at once. It was found at Gamestop Canada in limited amounts (since most of the allotted stock went to preorders) and now it's shipping from Amazon.ca. In the US, the toy is now out at Target. We got a few scattered reports from California, Louisiana, Ohio and Iowa, but it may be in other states as well. Pretty cool to see a commander class toy on retail shelves. Amazon.com is also shipping theirs out.
If you want more info on what the toy entails and if its worth it, you can check out these reviews below. Enjoy!

It looks like word of mouth did no favors for Transformers One in its second weekend. It opened very poorly last week and has plummeted in its second weekend, ending up third place at the domestic box office behind The Wild Robot and Beetlejuice.
While it was expected that the Wild Robot would get first place this weekend, it lays the smackdown on Transformers One’s candy ass by opening 10 million dollars higher that the later did. Which means that the reason Transformers One did less truly comes down to the brand. Parents chose to bring their kids to the Wild Robot and not Transformers, plain and simple. As bad as Transformers did last week, it did even worse this week, dropping over 60%.
The global numbers are not better. It opened in China to 8 million, which is a far cry to previous Transformers films. When looking at the week-end charts worldwide, the film ends up 4th behind The Wild Robot, Devara Part 1 and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
In total internationally, the film has only made 32 million across 61 countries. Added to the domestic numbers, the film has made 72 million globally. It needs to make approximately 190 million to break even, using industry standards. Even if it makes that, it will be the worst performing Transformers film by a country mile, making even less than half what Rise of the Beasts made.
The Wild Robot didn't just beat it in terms of box office debut but also in terms of critical reception. While both films have a 98% user rating, when it comes to critics, 98% recommend the Wild Robot while 88% recommend Transformers One.
