The Legacy Star Raiders line is upon us. Hasbrouck Pulse shipped out Ferak a little while ago and are now shipping Filch. The better news is that Wal-Mart is shipping Filch out in Canada, meaning that a North American Wal-Mart is rolling out their stock. It also means that the web orders are using solid case packs, as intended, leaving assorted cases for retail. Below is a review of Filch and images comparing her to the original Airazor mold.
As you'll see, Hasbro gave this character extra attention and this seems to be the best version of the mold yet.

When we made our story on the Transformers Squeezeling toys last week, some good questions came up like: how squeezable are they. Turns out, not very. So while the toys don't have much going for them already, they can't even fulfill the "promise" of the packaging. The very short review demonstrates all that you need to know for these toys, like that if ever you see them at a dollar store, you'll know what you are in for. Enjoy!

The one Transformers One Prime Changer we had yet to post a review of was Alpha Trion. We have one now which you can see below. The toy has been released in the US at some stores while it is available to order on Amazon.ca for $29.99 CAD.
The review below shows that he is comparable in size to modern day deluxes, as well as deluxes from the beast era, 30 years ago, and shares a lot in common with that era. Enjoy!

We thank EmoTim for letting us know that Walmart has the Transformers: Retro 40th Anniversary Autobot Blaster & Steeljaw for only $20. This is a major discount from its original $50 price. For those not in the know, this Blaster sports the most animation accurate deco we've ever gotten for the G1 toy.

The first half of the 2024 box office has been incredibly underwhelming for the movie industry. Films could not even crack the 100M mark domestically for their opening week/weekend. However, with the summer season came two big hits and they both happen to be animated films.
We have Inside Out 2 from Disney and Despicable me 4 from Universal and both have been strong right out of the gate, with Inside Out 2 on its way to become the highest grossing animated (looking) film in history, and inside out 2 being on par with previous opening in its own franchise, showing that it has yet to reach franchise fatigue. None of these films were events, their advantage was simply that they were family oriented films of well known current brands/characters/franchises. They are also helped by their release schedule, where school is out and theatre chains show movies all through the week during the day, creating an easy air conditioned outing for families and daycares/daycamps.
Now, I mention all this just to show that in times where Hollywood is unsure what movies can be successes, big Animated films seem to be the way to go. And the next big animated film is none other than Transformers One, which is getting mentioned during analyses of the current box office landscape (an example of such time can be seen in the Youtube video below). Like with Inside Out and Despicable Me, Transformers is a well known brand that is still current and well known by kids and families (unlike, say, Garfield). The continued success of the Despicable Me / Minions franchise also proves that humor can be very marketable to those same groups, which was an element of the first Transformers One trailer heavily criticized by older fans online. All these points show that Paramount and Hasbro may have read the market correctly when choosing to go the animated route for their next big Transformers film.
Another point to consider is that both Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me are out concurrently and both are making money, even though they attract the same market. This proves that there is enough interest (and wealth) from families that two animated films can prosper and one won't take business from the other (at least not to a significant degree). That point is extremely important for Transformers One since it will be "competing" with the Wild Robot on its second week-end at the box office.
The biggest difference between Transformers One and Inside Out / Despicable Me, however, is the season it's releasing. By being in the fall, when school begins, there are no family outings during week-days and week-ends become busier for families. To take full advantage of the shifting movie market, the film should have released in August, as no other animated movie opens that month and it could have taken advantage of summer vacation.
So, to recap, what works in it's favor when looking at the current box office landscape is:
- targeting families (the most successful movie market of 2024) with animation and humor
- being a well known current franchise
What might work against it:
- release date during school year
We'll see how much the box office for Transformers One differs from Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 when September rolls around. It is currently slated for a September 20 release date in the US and other markets, though it is not opening everywhere on the globe concurrently.

The Transformers One marketing campaign is going into overdrive. We had the film's presence at the Kid Choice Awards and now we can view the transformation scene clip on its own. We also now have a TV Spot for the film found on Twitter. It gives us the best look yet at Megatron's tank mode, which was the one alt mode not seen properly in the debut trailer. Both clips/links can be seen below.

Canadian dollar stores have new Transformers Squeezelings toys. They are under the authentics brand and sport Evergreen artwork. However, the Megatron in the set is based on his G1 gun look as opposed to his evergreen tank look. These are soft plastic non transforming and poorly painted toys, which are priced at $4.50 Cad. We do get some new artwork for Cheetor though. You can see all the toys and srtwork below.

Gaming is currently the most lucrative market in all leisure/entertainment and this news shows us exactly why. Overwatch dropped a game trailer of the new Transformers skins and we now know how much they cost.
The skins for Reinhardt, Bastion, Illari, and Ramattra to look like Optimus, Bumblebee, Arcee and "Megatron" respectively cost 2500 coins (the in game currency) each but the skin pack costs 5900 coins and 1 coin is the equivalent of 1 penny. HOWEVER, you cannot just convert money into the exact number of coins you need, coins are purchased in stacks of 10000.
So, for you to have enough coins to purchase the skin pack, and get the 4 skins, you need to convert $60 USD into in game currency. If you just want 1 skin, you will need to convert $30 USD into in game currency. Of course, this is all assuming you currently have no left over in game currency already from previous purchases.
Below are images of the skins along with the gameplay trailer.
