It's been an agonizing... *checks watch* ...16 days since the last episode of Transformers: Cyberworld, but if they're going to keep on keeping in spirit with the spooky season, then I'd say it was worth the wait. In the tenth episode, titled "A Bug's Lie," Bumblebee breaks off from the rest of Team Prime when they run across a rogue Chop Shop, who is promising fabulous secret powers in a very Gollum-esque way. Will Bumblebee succumb to his trap and we'll have to replace him with another character for the remaining 26 episodes? Watch and find out! Plus, if you missed the last episode (or the absolutely necessary abridged recap) and to you, space is warped and time is bendable, then it's positioned right after the newest one here, because that's how it be, Bee. What do you think? Did Chop Shop set a suitably-creepy October tone? Did Bumblebee show us, show us all?

Walmart has put up listings for two new Retro Series Deluxe toys, Wheelie and Outback. Like other Retro releases before them, each comes on a G1 minibot-styled bubble cardback and is painted in colors evoking their original 1980's releases. Outback, as expected, is a Brawn retool, but Wheelie is a brand new, never seen before mold. See the gallery below for pictures of these two new toys. Both will be available for order during Walmart's Collector Con starting Oct. 10th at 7am PST. Want to discuss these new toys? Come do it HERE on the forums! Not yet a member? Join today!

We have a newsletter from BigBadToyStore. -------------- NEW PRE-ORDERS -------------- From "DRAGON BALL Z", "SON GOKU" wearing the costume of the Cell Saga has been newly sculpted and made into S.H.Figuarts! The proportions, volume of hair, and facial expressions of the figure are all newly sculpted with attention to detail based on the anime drawings of the time. XesRay Studio is proud to present a new 1/12 scale figure of the menacing Tukhoris, Sobek's Jaws! Blokees is proud to present a new way to represent your favorite characters from the legendary Star Wars films: introducing the Champion Class model kits! Building upon the legacy of the fan-favorite Blitzway Classic Voltron, we proudly present the upgraded Voltron: Legendary Defender— a bold evolution of the legendary figure! threezero is proud to announce the release of the Decepticon Seeker Warrior who is known by the rumbling roars of his engines - MDLX Thrust! ------------ NEW ARRIVALS ------------ Ryu from Street Fighter Alpha 3 is now in stock with Storm Collectible's Storm Arena line! The consistent and determined leader of the X-Men, Cyclops has the mutant ability to emit powerful red beams of energy from his eyes. This collectible 6-inch-scale figure is detailed to look like Cyclops from Marvel Studios’ X-Men ‘97. New to the G.I. Joe Classified Series line, Cobra Commander With Combat Armor comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. One of the most requested Gremlins figures of all time! From Gremlins 2: The New Batch comes the spectacular Bat Gremlin, with a massive wingspan of nearly 18 inches.

It's that time once again, to celebrate raw, unbridled consumerism the greater franchise that we all know and love, by voting for our favorites to be entered into the Transformers 2025 Hall of Fame! This year, the voting process is somewhat... streamlined. That is, we've gone from four categories down to three. These are (drumroll, please): Age of the Primes Toy of the Year Studio Series Toy of the Year Exclusives Toy of the Year No clutter with categories such as "Fictional Characters" or "Humans", specifically of the real life variety. What have they ever done for this franchise? Nothing, I tell you! There's a reason Transformers fans hate humans, and that's why Hasbro has done us all the courtesy of removing them from any space that would needlessly occupy what really matters -- voting for which toy we like best! In a way, though, I suppose you could say that last year's fourth category, "Favorite of the Thirteen Primes," has been effectively folded into the "Age of the Primes Toy of the Year." Because, obviously. Though five of The Thirteen aren't on the ballot, but what can you do? Those wacky release schedules, am I right? Of course, there's no purchase necessary in order to vote -- only to have any idea of what you're talking about when you do! Good thing there's a decent chance you might not even see some of these ballot entries in person until 2026! But they'll be yesterday's news by then, so just try to take a hot guess at it in the meantime. So click here, vote early, and vote often! once! I don't know, just try your luck, I guess. Hey, wait a second! I only bought one Studio Series release this year, and it's not even on here! This vote is rigged! #JusticeForPerceptor #JusticeForRamhorn #JusticeForRatbat Ahem, right. Well, anyway, after you vote, feel free to tell us who you voted for below, or in the "Transformers Hall of Fame 2025" thread in our forums (where I learned about this, via Sabrblade)! Or don't! Your vote, your secret! Or maybe share why you decided to abstain! I know I would for this blatant cassette erasure, but unfortunately, I gotta rep my boy Heatwave, so I'm sure you can understand the bind I'm in. Oh, wait. They were under "Exclusives," not "Studio Series". Boy, is my face red! Um... Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Variety.com reports that Ron Friedman, writer of the animated "The Transformers: The Movie", passed away on September 15, 2025 as a result of cardiopulmonary arrest. He was 93. Friedman graduated with a BA in Architecture from Carnegie Mellon University and made a name for himself in writing and production, writing what would become more than 700 hours of written content as a member of the Writer's Guild of America. These credits include work on "Happy Days", "The Andy Griffith Show", "Starsky and Hutch", and "The Odd Couple", including Emmy award-nominated work on "The Danny Kaye Show", and later on animated fare like the 80s Transformers cartoon, its contemporary GI Joe (and the movies for both), and Bionic Six, among others. In the 90s, Ron contributed to "Taz-Mania", the 90's Marvel animated "Iron Man", and "Fantastic Four: The Animated Series". Transformers fans will recognize his name from the early Generation 1 cartoon seasons, indulging in light world-building in namedropping Cybertronian flora and fauna as well as infusing dialogue with characterful quirks like Warpath's BLAM! POW! speech. Beyond that, Friedman is perhaps most notable in the fandom as having penned the 1986 animated movie (his initial draft being reworked by Flint Dille), from where Friedman gained the dubious honor of being "the man who killed Optimus Prime" -- despite having, by his own account, tried to talk Hasbro out of it. Nonetheless, Friedman took the infamy of his involvement in a formative step for this iconic 80s brand in stride, even titling his memoir "I Killed Optimus Prime" and writing from the heart about his lifetime of written work for various media. "I believe I’m obliged to take anybody who buys anything I wrote away from their cares of the day and give them something new so they can come away satisfied and entertained. That’s what keeps the world going. Think of a world without books, comic books, without iconic figures, without music, and without entertainment. Horrendous! It’s why the Romans said, “art is long, life is short.” I’m in the art business for popular consumption and hope that I give some value in addition to the entertainment and maybe something to think about." -- Ron Friedman, on his life as a writer for entertainment (from an interview with Todd Matthy) Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Mark Maher is back with another look behind the scenes. This time we're taking a look at Age of the Primes Amalgamous Prime. Source: Instagram Is it me or does this look like Diaclone Reboot for the masses? So many modes and combinations. Sound off below or in the Age of the Primes thread. Join the Allspark today.

The winner of the "Activate Your Alt Mode" Fan Vote has been decided, and the winner is going to SHOCK the world! That's right, it's the Shockmaster! Er, I mean, Shockwave! Here's legendary voice actor Frank Welker announcing the winner: Via Collider, Hasbro has presented us with a better look at the new alt mode for the classic Transformers villain: That's right -- it looks like you really are what you eat! As animalistic alt modes go, the whale is a rare one. The first instance to be recalled offhand is for the Maximal base Orcanoch in the Beast Wars portion of Hasbro's MicroVerse toy line, but seeing as that toy was never really given much time in fiction, one can question whether it counts as a character at all. (Even TFWiki uses both "it" and "he" to describe it, but most fiction seems to have it as a simple ship/base.) The other, perhaps more prominent instance was only in fiction, as Tidal Wave took it on as an alt mode in lieu of his usual Dark Fleet form in IDW's Sins of the Wreckers mini-series. Ironically, the original Armada Tidal Wave's name in the Japanese version, Micron Legend, was "Shockwave." So in a way, it's like coming full circle! But as for our favorite one-eyed, one-handed flying purple space gun, his connection to the animal is a bit more... grim. See, in Skybound's Transformers comics, he Perhaps this is his way of cutting out the middleman -- er, middle-machine -- from the process. After all, that does sound... logical. So, what do you think? After all these years of being a giant floating space gun ship/submarine-thing, does this refresh work for you? Tell us in the comments below, or sound off in the "Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++" thread in our forums, where the discussion seems to have found a home!

Hey, remember that stand-alone Transformers store at Battersea Power Station that we told you about last year? Well, if you don't, you can get caught up here. Now then, it turns out they had a special event there for Transformers Day, one where they revealed a new Titan! That looks like Battersea Power Station! Does that technically make this guy a part of the Collaborative line, or...? Well, that's getting a little ahead of ourselves, as this big boy ain't getting any toys just yet. Heck, he doesn't even have a name! That's where you come in. Yes, you. Specifically, the person reading these words on your screen right now. You and you alone have been chosen to pick the name. You and everyone else like you... or just anyone who visits this link. Here's a bigger look at the big guy: This big fella makes his debut in an exclusive mini-comic: That's immense indeed. As we all know, no Transformer has ever been bigger than Optimus Prime to date. Kidding aside, there are three names to choose from with which to christen the Battersea Titan: Turbine Maximus, Metroboss, or Autobot Powerplex. Eh, not exactly the most inspired names, are they? Or rather, maybe a little too inspired. Yeah, a lot of Titans tend to share parts of their names, but that's usually if they're sharing designs/molds. Metroplex and Metrotitan, for instance, or the trinity of Fortress Maximus, Grand Maximus, and Brave Maximus. But then, our friends over at Tformers seem inclined to think that he(?) has roots in the Metroplex lineage, so that might make sense and/or influence your voting. Personally, I'm reminded more of Titans Return Fortress Maximus, except they built additional pylons on the shoulders. But speaking of Tformers, they've got the comic in all its bizarre hexagonal glory over there, so go give it a gander! With all that squared away, which name appeals to you the most? Personally, I think they should split the difference, and go with "Turbine Powerplex." Eh, maybe there will be a tie. But tell us what you think in the comments below! And if you're so inclined, I don't think we have a thread for this yet in our forums, so maybe you can start one in our forums? Oh, wait -- while I was typing this, someone brought it up in the "Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound" thread. Sure, that works for now, too.

Are you all caught up? Good, because as a part of the Transformers Day celebrations, we've been blessed with a new episode of Transformers: Cyberworld! And it's a doozy. In "Storm the Desert," our heroes are ready to take on the Ensconced Emperor of the Dusty Desert Dunes himself, Scorponok! Optimus has a posse, a look at Scorponok's tech specs, and some keen gear they picked up along the way. That shuttle off of Cyberworld is as good as theirs... right? Well, there's 27 more episodes left of this, so what do you think? Oof. Double L's for Big Bot, and back-to-back at that. But hey, there are toys to sell, so what can you do? Besides maybe get new alt modes and weapons, available now in finer toy stores everywhere, that is? What do you think? Did Optimus make a Prime call, or should they have held on a little longer there? Tell us in the comments below, or sound off in the "Transformers: Cyberworld, WTF (Why The Faces)" thread in our forums! Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

"Don't worry, I'm always up to the tusk!" Markclonus has returned to Instagram with more Transformers behind-the-scenes fun, and this time, he's found himself in a hairy situation! Well, more like woolly. In fact, this could turn into a mammoth problem, if he's not careful. Right, right, pics. "I don't get it. They never find that Spider-guy's cameras when he takes pictures of himself in action. What am I doing wrong?" "Now, light our darkest display table! ...ooh, warm." "Some call them 'tonfa', others 'nightsticks'. Me? I like the name 'Biggy Clubs'." "Your move, creep!" "So, you're seriously telling me that we're the only two Convoys here?" "Do I look like I'm lion?" "This seemed much cooler when that little Canadian mustelid fellow did it." "Wow... you've really grown since the last time I saw you. Can I just--" "No." "Yeah, I thought not." "Crikey! We got a real beaut here! Just look at the teeth on this ol' girl! I can fit my entire fist in 'er mouth!" "I hate you so much right now." "You heard back from from your agent about the new Ice Age tryouts yet?" "No." "Me neither. Dammit..." "You're making entirely too big a deal out of this. It's just a little cleavage, it's not like my entire chest is out." "Give me a head... er, shoulders with hair. Long, beautiful hair..." or "Come with all you see here." "TT"? "Traveller's Tales?" Does this mean we're finally getting a "LEGO Transformers" video game?! Oh, he probably meant "Takara Tomy". Oh well. I'm used to having my dreams dashed, I'll just pour this one on the pile. But that aside, what do you think? Have we got a great Big Convoy? Is he a beautiful sight? Tell us in the comments below, or in the Age of the Primes thread on the good ol' Allspark forums! Until next time! Source: Markclonus on Instagram Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

It's been a long road for Cyberworld, and there's been a lot to keep track of. And as we stand at eight episodes in at five minutes each... well, there are only so many hours in a day, and so many days in a week. It's understandable why someone would have trouble keeping up with the last 20 minutes the show has provided us with so far. Fortunately, Hasbro understands. That's presumably why this week, they've uploaded a recap episode that will help get you up to speed on everything that's happened in the last 1,200 seconds that have aired since four weeks ago. Actually, "recap" miiight be a little bit of a strong word. Really, they've just made the most of their ten minutes by truncating the five minute episodes down even further into about two and a half minutes, so no replay of the previous episode taking up the last half here. Because that would just be silly. Oh, and in case you're wondering? Yes, there was a previous recap for the first four episodes as well, which you can find here. So, which format better fits your schedule? Four five minute episodes spaced across four weeks, or one ten minute episode every fifth week? And if it's the latter, are you even still reading this, or have you already moved on? As we eagerly await the surely inevitable 36 minute supercut that trims every episode down to a minute or less, tell us what you think of this way of presenting episodes in the comments below, or in the "Transformers: Cyberworld, Chops R Us" thread in our forums.

Japanese hobby website HOBBY Watch has posted an interview with the developers of the recently-revealed Missing Link series entry C-10, better known to folks who can't deal with that now everywhere as Ultra Magnus. Following are a few select excerpts from that interview: In addition, HOBBY Watch has provided an exclusive video showing how the transformation of this new iteration of the character works: To check out the full interview, visit HOBBY Watch, or head on over to the "Japanese Transformers News" thread in our forums! Missing Link C-10 Ultra Magnus is slated for release in February or March (depending on where you look) 2026 at a price of ¥27,500, which as of this writing amounts to about $185.91 USD. However, if you happen to be in Akihabara, it is currently on display at Volks Akihabara Hobby Heaven 2.

Image via Wikipedia Some sad news this week, as Hasbro has announced that it is moving to Boston from its longtime home in Rhode Island. By the end of 2026, around 700 employees are expected to make the transition with the company to the new headquarters, located in Boston’s Seaport District at 400 Summer Street, where they will have seven floors across 265,000 square feet to play with. Not everyone is celebrating, though. The Hassenfeld Brothers, Herman, Hillel, and Henry, founded the company in the city of Pawtucket all the way back in 1923, and it has been a staple of the community ever since, supporting the community by providing jobs, recruiting from the state's colleges and universities, and donating to local charities, such as the Hasbro Children’s Hospital and the Rhode Island Special Olympics, which they said they will continue to support. Despite this, the Mayor of Pawtucket, Don Grebien, had this to say: According to Boston Business Journal Executive Editor Doug Banks, the folks in Pawtucket were even willing to go so far as to offer the company an undeveloped parcel of land in Providence for the low, low price of $1 USD. You can't even get a BotBot for that cheap. "They even as of last week, they were scrambling to offer economic incentives, but in the end, it wasn't enough," Banks explained. Two Transformers conventions would be held in Rhode Island, thanks to the company's ties to the area. The first, BotCon 2007, included a tour of the company. The second, HasCon 2017, would celebrate all of the company's brands. It would be the first as well as the last of its kind to date. Time marches on, but this truly marks the end of an era. Feel free to discuss this further in the comments below, or over in the "Hasbr-uh-oh" thread in our forums!
