We have a new Trademark application from Hasbro and this is not just to preserve a character name, this one is for a potentially whole new product line.
The trademark is for Cybertronics which is described in the trademark specifications as:
This is very reminiscent of Construct Bots (pictured in the thumbnail and below) where they are buidable toys that can also convert from one form to the next.
For an example of what this could look like, here is an example of the last buildable converting Transformers toyline which ended after the last film:

Interesting, perhaps something akin to Lego's Motorized Technic sets. But these may have self transforming frames or parts to make the figures move and maybe auto transform.

I wish this line better luck than Construct-Bots had.

I would be very much on board for this, in theory. In the last month or so I've spent literally a few hundred dollars on old Bionicle sets so it'd be nice to have an option to constrain my buying back to single-brand, non-time-inflated, shipping-cost-less items.
In practice, I just hope they put as much effort into them as they can. I was honestly pretty disappointed by the execution of the previous line of Construct-Bots (to the point that I only ever picked up Starscream, and that was on special in February this year), so I'd love to see some more varied transformation schemes and convincing alt-modes out of a hypothetical 'reboot' if you want to think of it that way. I mean, quite a few board-members have shown that buildable Transformers are not just doable but possibly incredible, so I have high hopes for this potential line!
