Remember the G1 Arcee toy that didn't end up getting made? Well Takara remembers and they are currently working on finally making it a reality. Takara Tomy’s TF40 Expo is on right now and the new reveals they ahve for us are in the Missing Link line. They displayed a prototype for Missing Link Sunstreaker along with a model for Missing Link Arcee. While the prototype for Sunstreaker does transform, the one on display for Arcee does not, it is something they are still working on.

The embargo has lifted on Transformers One, which is very early and a great sign of confidence in the film. Several critics have posted their opinions online and Rotten Tomatoes is aggregating them on their website. IGN seems to be the most negative in a sea of positive reviews. The score sits at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing with 36 reviews.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Transformers, Takara has released a video animated by Studio Trigger, directed by Amemiya Akira. The video uses the 2007 song “Mayday” by Bump of Chicken, who have several themed Transformers redecos, including one we see in this video. The video goes through all eras of Transformers, from G1 to Earthspark and includes loads pf crossovers like Beast Wars Megatron holding G1 Megatron’s gun mode in his mouth. You'll let us know which imagery you like best.

As we showed yesterday, the marketing for Transformers One is firing on all cylinders. Below you will see:
- a clip from the film featuring the scene on the train as the four main bots reach the surface.
- a TV spot featuring the fight between Optimus and Megatron and some really high praise
- a general ad for the film showcasing the upcoming Studio Series figures for the film and pro football players like Calvin Johnson/Megatron.
- a quick featurette showing the voice acting, which can be seen here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_vhg9JOjB6/

Are all you Transformers fans caught up on Blokees yet? Not necessarily in collecting them, but at least being aware of the growing number of releases. They are a fun and inexpensive licensed series of models that work well as figures. The second Shining Version series is out in Asia now, and can be ordered on sites like Ali Express. If you are curious about it, we have reviews for all the characters below. These are called "Shining version" due to their LED lights which will light up their eyes (and chest for certain characters). The characters in this wave are:
Substorm
G1 toy Optimus Prime
Beachcomber
Sideswipe
Soundwave
Grimlock

Bad news for collectors who collect boxed toys. We now have images of the Ramhorn/Bommbshell G1 retro pack and it is very different from the previous two Walmart exclusive G1 retro Insecticon offerings. As with Soundwave and Blaster, this goes for the G1 box aesthetic, so it will be at odds with those. It is a cool box though, as it has both the Decepticon and Autobot colours due to there being both an Autobot and Decepticon in the set. And both happen to be rhinoceros themed, with Bombshell turning into a rhinoceros beetle. Since this is still part of the retro line, Bombshell is meant to be toon accurate with a grey chest, as he sported in the cartoon when he's in robot mode.
One more detail about the packaging though, it does look like there is no plastic window.

One of the most famous skits from Key and Peele is the substitute teacher, which we have linked below. Knowing that, Keegan-Michael Key has done a bit where he does the same thing with the Transformers characters from Transformers One. You can check it out below.

We are weeks away from the Transformers One coming out and the marketing is in full force.
Bryan Tyree Henry was promoting the film on Jimmy Kimmel the other day, you can check out the clip below.
Speaking of clips, we have another one for you below. It's from world famous chocolatier, Amaury Guichon, who Paramount teamed up with to commission a giant chocolate head of Optimus Prime. It even has LEDs for eyes.
You'll notice that the backdrop for that clip happens to be the newly released theme song for the film. You can check the full song out below as well, it is performed by Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, and ARE WE DREAMING.

Simple question to start us off: Have you seen the Star Raiders line at your local US Walmart? I ask because the answers given to that question so far have been nothing but frustrating or confusing. While Walmart has gotten its stock for distribution, they've only used it so far to fulfill online orders. And there's a lot of stock online with both Road Pig and the Thundertron leader set still available for purchase.
That last bit is a rarity as Walmart will sell out of exclusives online, with the bulk of stock going to stores instead. However, these toys have been available and shipping from their website but they have yet to be found in stores... or have they?
With the toys shipping from the Walmart website, fans got excited to find these exclusives in stores. But that lead to frustration since the hunt resulted next to no sightings. What was found was confusing and has lead to some misinformation being spread by other news sites. The few toys from the Star Raiders capsule that were found were never found with casemates, but as single examples, and often times discounted too. Like the sighting below which just so happens to have the 2 products that have finally been shipping from Walmart.com.
It most likely means that these are returns and them being discounted is due to Walmart not having these skus on the planogram (no designated space on the shelf). We tend to see that with older releases which no longer have a designated space on the shelf, but it's the same cause regardless. And that is extra confusing and frustrating since it means that as of right now there is no plan to have these toys on shelves.
That also means that any sighting being shared online is not legitimate as it does not indicate that this line is being distributed to stores. It instead simply means that fans are returning toys they purchased online. So in the end, there is no concrete evidence that this line is being distributed to stores right now. We have no real sighting of this Star Raiders line in US Walmarts so far.
Let us know how your experience has been with this exclusive subline and if you have found it in a decent amount in your area (if you are in the US). Who knows, maybe one of you has a sighting of a non returned item to share.

The next round of collector-centered pre-orders have gone live on Amazon and everywhere else in Japan. Interestingly all of them are being tagged as part of T-SPARK.
The first is the highly anticipated MPG-14 Godbomber who will be available in two different flavors. The first that we had seen previously is the retail version that will be available everywhere. The second is a special Takara Tomy Mall exclusive MPG-14S that includes everything from the retail version plus extra parts to make Godbomber and God Ginrai look like the original prototype, as well as God Ginrai's sword. That set comes in an extra large box that can also store the Super Ginrai box inside similar to the MPG-6S Kaen box that could hold all 6 Trainbots. This set will likely be available on Hasbro Pulse soon.
Next up is Karakuri Statue Optimus Prime, the self transforming statue first revealed at the beginning of the year. Not much has changed in the statue itself, but the base got an overhaul making it more ornate and adding gold for contrast to the middle rotating part.
Finally we've got the Dramatic Capture Triple Takeover set. This set puts new decos on Siege Astrotrain, Legacy Evolution Blitzwing and SS86 Starscream. Starscream includes his coronation gear, but no throne this time. Even more noticeable is Astrotrain's lack of launch pad/tender.

And next up, we have a review for the upcoming release of Bumblebee movie Core Class Starscream! This tiny backstabber was revealed by a mistake listing on Amazon, but later officially revealed in a livestream. Most preorders have him coming in December of this year, though except for exclusives, most figures tend to come earlier than their release dates.
On to the review! While the figure itself is a good idea, it's not as well executed as it could have been, according to Chuck. Se erst he had to say, and check out the review to help you decide whether or not to add this new mold to your collection.
This is a nice representation of Starscream from the Bumblebee movie, but I'm concerned about how long the ball joints can last.

It transforms between robot and Cybertronian car mode in 18 steps and comes with an array of accessories, including two Energon knives, two forearm blasters, and one blaster accessory.

This is more of an FYI to fans out there. While some fans have been finding the Transformers One Burger King toys in some locations here and there, the campaign is now in full force now that September has started. This has been confirmed by multiple fans across the US, Canada, South Africa and Singapore, which leads us to assume the toys are available across multiple international markets. We haven't received confirmation if they are available at Hungry Jack's though (The Australian version of Burger King) .
For those unaware, there are 6 non transforming toys in the line, all "good guys". It is Optimus, Bumblebee and Elita One in their robot modes and alt modes.
Below is an image of the showcase showing specific dates when a particular toy may be available. This can of course be different from one country/location to the next.

Ratings for two 2024 Transformers video games from Microsoft Studios have been found through the Australian ratings board. The ratings details for both are below. They are unnamed as of now but both have online interactivity so these could be rereleases of the WFC/FOC games, which just so happen to have had their Steam CD keys updated. That could be a coincidence though, however it would be odd that we'd be getting 2 completely new games that we never heard of from Microsoft within a few months. So rereleases of older games now owned by Microsoft makes sense. We'll see soon enough.
Unnamed Transformers Game 1
Classification Number: 102818503
Production Company: Microsoft Studios
Year of Production: 2024
Version: Original
Rated: PG (Online Interactivity, Scary Scenes)
Unnamed Transformers Game 2
Classification Number: CLAS-236685
Production Company: Microsoft Studios
Year of Production: 2024
Version: Modified
Rated: PG (Mild Violence, Online Interactivity, Users Interact)
