Deluxe Bumblebee
Deluxe Twitch
One Step Optimus Prime
One Step Wheeljack
One Step Bumblebee
Warrior Skywarp
Warrior Optimus Prime
Warrior Elita One
Tacticon Optimus Prime
Tacticon Megatron

This particular sighting comes from the Montreal (Quebec) area. It's about time the toys showed up since both the show and the holiday shopping season are in full swing. There will be reviews for these toys coming out soon as well and we will share them with you as they come in. While the toys did not scan at the price check, they did scan at the cash registers and were available to purchase.

Twitch makes "Megs" looks so puny.

Lots of Transformers Earthspark news and reviews coming your way since they came all at once in Canada, my home and native land. Here we have a review, coming from me, for Transformers Earthspark tacticon Megatron, Optimus and Bumblebee. These are the transforming finger puppet toys and you get to see how the gimmick works in these videos. Definitely fun for kids, as my 5 year old will attest, though the 6+ on the box is wrong in my opinion, as these skew younger than that.

In other Earthspark news, there is a listing of Deluxe Starscream that was found thanks to JTPrime17 and Voltrace.

Here we have a review, coming from me, for Transformers Earthspark deluxe Megatron. While it is as complex as a deluxe from any other line, the fact that all characters are deluxe sized makes him look very puny next to others, as you can see in the photos below. Also, while the articulation is standard, the giant bulky shoulders limit the articulation in that area which is a shame since many typical Megatron poses feature his arm extended forward at different angles to shoot his fusion canon. There are more reviews to come, enjoy!

I just can't get over that depressed face.

.......and ironically, that will be the #1 reason for me to buy that Megatron. 8-}

Here we have a review, coming from me, for Transformers Earthspark deluxe Bumblebee, which will probably be a very popular toy for Christmas this year since it will be the main Bumblebee toy on shelves for the brand new show on air. This is a solid toy overall, with some neat transformation steps, a very compact backpack which will remind fans of Prime Vehicon, and a different kind of car for the alt mode, which is now remenescent of the second generation ford GT. Below you'll find the review along with the reviews for the other two wave 2 deluxe figures, if you want to get up to speed on what's just been released.

Working on reviews for the Warriors and they are all over the place. While Optimus is a very solid budget deluxe class toy, with good proporitons and articulation, that Elita 1 is ROUGH. Lacking lots of crucial articulation, no knees for instance.

Elita-1 (or Elita-One) has a prominant role on the new Earthspark show and a new design, so fans may have been curious about her only toy known to exist so far. However, while warrior class Optimus Prime has decent articulation, as you can see in the review below, Elita-1 suffers in that department by having no articulation at the knee, neck and waist. No thigh swivel either and all of that greatly limits poseability. The transformation is satisfying though for a budget toy. She is the same size as a deluxe but only costs 2/3 the price and we can see why. Optimus on the other hand has a rather obvious transformation that we've all seen before but his articulation and proportions as very surprising for a warrior class figure making him a great choice for parents looking to buy their kid and Optimus Prime figure but not wanting to spend upwards of $20 USD on one.

He saw the franchise go down the toilet in the past few years so that's why he's depressed. The entire Transformers franchise has been slowly going downhill ever since 2007. I never thought I would lose interest but Hasbro has been putting out nothing but garbage in the last couple years. Baby bumblebee crap & Legacy is all over the place, 1 lame/boring/bad repaint after the other.

I think differently, I think the franchise is doing quite well for itself, the Generations lines keep going strength from strength and we're on the verge for another theatrical release. Earthspark also brings fresh ideas to the table. We're also getting toys like Victory Saber and Deathsaurus produced (not to mention Unicron, a toy the likes of which was just unfeasible back in 07). In my opinion, 2007 was a turning point, but in a good way, we had more new fans join the hobby and some old ones return (like myself).

I think you got trolled.

The one step class in the new Transformers Earthspark line is taking it up a notch by introducing a flip gimmick where, as advertised, a toy will transform after being flipped in the air. The review below shows you what that gimmick entails. As it turns out, while it does work, flipping the toy is not really needed. With this particular Optimus toy, simply pressing the knees in robot mode automatically releases the mechanism turning him back into truck mode. So there is no need to flip him to transform him. However, landing on the ground will trigger his knees and cause him to transform.

You can check it out below.

All kidding aside, I'll take it. I liked that mold and most people missed the trick of using the landing gear to lock the torso so once you do that it's an ok figure.

News Staff making news kinda reminds me of this old, ooooold, before he was famous Bob Saget bit on some random sketch comedy show where he was a news reporter, reporting on an accident that he caused. The punchline was "Waxwhatever, where we don't just report the news, we ARE the news."

You also have the other 2 one steps.

Whomever makes the videos, I'm grateful to them! I never followed RiD toys until I binged the show, so it's great to have almost real-time (close to the toy's release) reviews.

I am in utter disbelief that this first round of toys have not appeared in the US for the holiday season, a real missed opportunity.
