Hasbro is at the London Comic Con and they have revealed some new toys in he Earthspark line. Below are official images from Hasbro along with images of the toys on the show floor which were posted by In Demand Toys.

The reveals are 1-Step Flip Changers Soundwave and Swindle, Warrior Megatron and Thrash, Deluxe Optimus Prime and Shockwave. Shockwave is a redeco of the Cyberverse deluxe figure. Luckily, Shockwave comes with an optional part for Mandroid (an alternate arm), so he is not a necessity to complete the BAF.

I can anticipate many wondering what the difference is between Warrior and Deluxe Megatron since the deluxe is priced much higher and while the robot modes may look similar, the alt mode is where we see the complexity at play. The more obvious feet in the warrior class' alt mode show how that toy is far simpler in terms of its transformation, which lowers parts count and cost, ect. Also the deluxe figure features more points of articulation, like hip swivels, which even Mcfarlane action figures often lack.

Trash is definitely the most interesting of the lot. Simply because he's truly NEW and FRESH.

I don't like to use this word, but I sure hope Shockwave comes with the optional arm for Mandroid. Or else this BLOWS and now TF fans will know the pain of being a Marvel Legends collector.

EDIT: Shockwave is number 5, so he is indeed the optional piece for mandroid

Oooo, stealth bomber Soundwave looks neato, giving me a lot of Transformers: Cybertron energy.
Thrash looks fantastic as well, and I'm sure there's fun to be had with the others. Not super surprised Cyberverse's Shocky is being reused here but I am intrigued if they'll do something new for him later.

Looking at Twitch’s packaging I think he does come with the alternate arm.

Now the question is if Grimlock uses his Cyberverse mold.

Wait, so does that mean they're reusing the Shockwave animation model as well and just changing the textures, or is it just the same cost-saving measure we saw in the first waves of Cyberverse itself?

Kinda bummed that Shockwave is just a Cyberverse repaint. I loved that show and enjoyed the toyline, but I was hoping for a new mold shockwave, or better yet a different character in the deluxe.

The Deluxe optimus looks real nice, I like it a lot!

The warriors also look sharp. I won't get Megatron because of the deluxe coming, but he is still good looking. And Thrash is a pleasant surprise, he and Elita are my 2 warrior purchases to date, they both look good.

Now, where is a good 50's model Arcee?

For those curious about the soon to be released Earthspark deluxe Megatron, there is now a review up. Here we can get a good idea of the scale, with comparisons to Cyberverse deluxe Megatron and Shockwave (who will be rereleased in this line) and it also shows us the figure from the back and the alt mode at several angles. We see how the canon attaches to the helicopter in alt mode too, completing the look.

Here is the review form PrimevsPrime along with some screenshots.

As a fan of the Megatron character, I gotta say I'm not impressed by the Earthspark offerings so far. I didn't really need the video review to conclude that the figures look cheap.

"But they're made for KIDS - ya gotta unnerstand!"

Yeah, I get that. But I've seen other kids toys that look a hekkuvva lot better than these. And poor Megatron - that face looks all gormless and simpering. A far fall for the leader of the Decepticons. Small, hollow, flimsy - all perfectly cruel and perfectly accurate descriptions. I skipped out on pretty much the entire Cyberverse line because the figures looked too child-like for my taste. But at least they had some that appear to have been decently engineered, and they seemed to give proper respect to Megatron. But I see little evidence of that so far for Earthspark. I hope the kids like 'em - but I sure don't.

Finally, a sane man! Everyone keeps telling me I expect too much from kids toys. But I just hate the prospect of ripping of kids, they don't know what's good or what's crap. There are some good kids transformers toys, but sometimes they are hard to see in a sea of cyberverse one steps shockwaves.

I don't like the vehemence that he comes across with his complaints, never have. And every figure does not need to be an engineering Marvel. Complaining about a figure that has Ankle Tilts, and enough range for most normal humanoid poses because it doesn't tip far enough for your liking is bizarre. And complaining about its plane mode whilst you have it balanced on a flight stand by his Accessory and not a structural part of the figure seems counterintuitive. There aren't many figures I would trust would be supported by an attached piece like that.

But he raises some fair points this does feel overly simple for the price point. Maybe thT is a trade off for other figures in the wave, but given that one is a Retool and the other a redeco that seems unlikely.

Same old excuses. Lack of ankle tilts and wrists swivels can be lived without. But megatron is the SAME PRICE as a deluxe figure, so shouldn't he meet those standards? The kids toy is the OTHER earthspark megatron, this one has no excuse for being short of the deluxe standard.

I think we should at least compare apples to apples. If you say a warrior class toy looks cheap compared to a legacy deluxe, well no shit sherlock, it's a cheaper toy. Regardless if its made for kids, we arent comparing the same thing.

However, comparing this deluxe megatron to a legacy deluxe (which I think you are doing) is fair game. The RID warrior class toys were great examples of toys made just for kids that were on par with toys of similar price points in the Generations line. And many, myself included, argued that they were the better product on the shelf at the time. I mean you had deluxe CW Deadend on the shelf at the same time as Warrior Class Thunderhoof and Fracture. Those were some of the best toys that year. So yeah, a deluxe Megatron should not be cheap, it should be as good a toy as a deluxe from Legacy or Studio Series. I personally really loved deluxe Cyberverse Bumblebee, Slag, Optimus, Arcee and Soundwave. All those toys were on par with similarly priced toys of other lines.

As for cheaper toys, like the one steps, I have 0 problems since they are a perfect stepstone drug for the harder stuff later, and some are very well made for the age group. And they are sold at a cheaper price point.

admitting the worst, eh? One step chanhers dont need to be majic, I have and like repugnus, but when you look at a figure like Cyberverse one step bumblebee (the one made new for cyberverse), you know they could do better with the budget.

Firstly, I was making a play on words.

Also, one step bumblebee is great, it's a fun design that works really well for younger kids (like 2 years old). My kid loves that toy and it got him into more transformers toys. They could add more paint if that's what you are getting at, but in terms of transformation design, they really hit a sweet spot for young kids.

Optimus Prime move forward, point to his Autobot army then said in a dramatic tone:
"Megatron must be stopped. No matter the cost!."
The Autobots cheer!
Then Optimus cry:
"AUTOBOTS, TRANSFO...."
Silence.
"Hum. AUTOBOTS, MARCH!"

-- A child playing with Transformers, but with complex 3P and Masterpieces instead of the easy 1-steps, 3-steps, and Warrior class toys.

Thank you again for your off-topic post that repeats the same content from the past couple years at this point.

We'll be talking later in private, so kindly don't respond to this post or provide further commentary on youtube reviewers outside of their video content related to the quality of the TF being reviewed.

I think the new Megatron looks good. I like how the fusion cannon becomes part of the wings/turbines. and i like the sculpt, it looks good. i agree face looks a bit iffy, but i still like it.

I liked the Cyberverse Megatron, and this looks about on par with that, so i will be excited to handle the mold.

Not at all. I've simply given credit where credit is due. Nothing but positivity and support in the my previous post, which I think is worth doing so whenever possible. This is a great website, with fine, morally upstanding staff. The TF community is a better place with you all and your efforts posting YouTube reviews of this nature.

As for PMs, you could have done that with your post above. However, I regret that these days, I don't check this site as much as I used to, due to a focus on more relevant/recent TF news elsewhere. Still, is always a pleasure to highlight the hard work and robust moral backbone of this site. Keep it up!

Not according to your own sources you used to defend them that called them "probably illegal", but we've already gone around in circles over your paper thin defense and I'll always see you as a hypocrite for it. In Hasbro's eyes PvP is a perfectly acceptable and legit review channel and they're more than happy to provide him with thousands of dollars worth of review samples. As far as Hasbro is concerned you're the bad guy here.

Not incorrect. Your thread used information from the FDA on generic food and drugs and laws on replaceable parts for electronics and vehicles that can't be applied to anything but those specific things. The sources you claimed proved the legality of 3P figures point blank said they were "probably illegal". When I pointed this out the last time instead of providing specific evidence you instead shut the conversation down because you have NOTHING.

Not incorrect. You have blind hatred for the guy so you dismiss everything he does as illegal. Hasbro and Robosen sent him both Optimus Prime and the trailer and Hasbro sent him the Optimus Prime Lego set. I'll say it again, if Hasbro cared they would have had the channel shut down a long time ago, they have that power. They don't care.

I'm sorry you've again failed to understand both of these matters.

If you wish to discuss the subject of KO or 3P TFs, you've been given links to the appropriate place to do so. I've even engaged with your PMs on the subject and received similarly inaccurate opinions from you regarding that topic in those messages. As such, I'm afraid I cannot attend any more to your opinions, however misguided, at this thread here.

I have never stated any hatred for anyone here and neither will I start upon such an endevour. I have recently stated nothing but positive comments regarding the issue. Again, you've offered no evidence to prove the legimancy of such people, regardless of how great both they and their supporters may indeed be, so I'm afraid I'm unable to accept your opinions, however heartfelt, as based on any facts.

Again, as I and others here have stated, numerous times, you're welcome to ignore any comments posted at the site, by any member, and resolve any conflicts via PM. If you wish a member to reply via PM, you have only to make your statements via PM to begin with. However, if you continue to post them here, then please don't be surprised if replies are posted in the same manner. It's only logical.

As for "the forum" (i.e., "everyone") that again is your own opinion, which I'm afraid has no substance to it. I'm sorry that you feel my recent positive comments regarding the site and a content uploader are triggering for you and I would recommend ignoring any user here whose posts affect you in such a manner.

Regardless, I would like again to express my utmost respect for both you, the site and all supporters related to this matter. Your contributions and options are nothing but a boon to the TF community, Hasbro and Takara Tomy.

Thank you for your time and commentary.

Thanks again for 100% supporting YouTubers with such specific moral compassary! They couldn't make it in life without places like Seibertron behind them all the way!

The TF community salutes you for such peachy tips!

Please stop with attacking us about this. Its not our place to determine if early toys are or are not stolen from factories. I'm sure Hasbro is well aware of the problem. If they want to put a stop to it, they could. It is their place to handle it. It's not ours. We are just here to report on new upcoming Transformers products. It is news if something gets leaked. Reporting on those items has been a practice of Transformers fan sites for the past 30 years.

However, we don't report on 3rd party. I took a hard stance on that. We can't police everything. At some point, Hasbro needs to do it. Its not up to us, or you or any of the Fandom to have to police what they don't want to police.

Please stop derailing these topics. If u aren't happy with this site, I'm sorry u feel that way. Please don't make things more challenging than they need to be for the volunteer staff here, especially to those who volunteer their time to be part of Seibertron.com.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation going forward.

primalxconvoy, I've sent you a lengthy PM, but this part I wanted to make public since it's a total outright lie that you've posted publicly about me.

We've never once exchanged PMs ever until just now.

Megatron's face reminds me of when someone is trying to resist the urge to cry and their chin crinkles up.

Aren't the first of these Earthspark things supposed to be on store shelves for the Holiday buying rush? If so, Hasbro is running out of time. "Black Friday" is only 2-odd weeks off. Granted, based on what I've seen so far, I have no interest in getting any of them.

But if these things are 'made for kids', then Hasbro needs to get a move-on in getting them on store shelves in time for the holiday-crazed kiddies (and their parents) to SEE them...

These are expected to be in stores this month, yeah.

This is only a rumor, but it makes sense with what I've seen thus far. A LOT of retailers have run into a problem with supply, they've been getting too much too soon as the factories overseas catch up. That explains why since August and earlier some of us have gotten figures that weren't expected until early next year, like the 60th anniversary Spiderman figures and some GI Joe Classified. Transformers obviously have been affected too. Stores have been getting stock in, pushing it out to shelves, clearance or otherwise, and liquidation stores like Ollie's. The concern now is that because of the early releases, there won't be stock for the holidays. Unless stores are able to adjust their supplies, the Earthspark toys might be at the end of a very long line with the ROTB toys that may not see shelves until next year.

Wouldn't ROTB toys likely have a street date for next spring anyway, though? The Cyberverse packed ones are showing up now, but the movie packaged ones would never come out this early to begin with.

I mean the Cyberverse branded ones. There should've been more out by now besides Prime right?
