Takara Tomy has psted the first full set of images of Synergenex Transformers Macross crossover Basara Prime. The figure converts from Basara Nekki's red VF-19 Excalibur Custom Variable Fighter to Gerwalk Mode (a staple of Macross), a special ground mode with wheels, or guitar-playing robot mode. His microphone-equipped stage can convert to a trailer reminiscent of Rodimus Prime's that can connect to the ground-vehicle form of the main figure. The robot mode head has three face options: neutral, smiling/singing, or Optimus-style faceplate. See the pictures below for more details. UPDATE: More Stock Photos added.

In some sad news today, it has been revealed by Mark Waid that Jim Shooter, the former Editor-in-Chief at Marvel Comics and co-creator of The Transformers, has passed at the age of 73 as a result of losing his ongoing battle against esophageal cancer. From Waid's Facebook post: Shooter had a long and storied career in the world of comics, beginning by writing for DC at the aforementioned age of 14, and rising to become the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics, where he wrote the original Secret Wars crossover, among many other books. After leaving Marvel, he would go on to help found Valiant Comics ('90s publisher of the Nintendo Comics System line of books and World Wrestling Federation comics, to say nothing of in-house properties such as Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Magnus, Robot Fighter, Solar, Man of the Atom, and X-O Manowar), as well as Defiant Comics and Broadway Video offshoot Broadway Comics, and has been involved in the industry in various other ways since. Of course, the main reason we're talking about this here today is that it's entirely possible there would be no "here" today without Shooter's efforts. During his run at Marvel, Shooter is the one who wrote the original six-page treatment (which you can read for yourself here) for what we know today as "The Transformers." After first trying out Denny O'Neil for character treatments, he would then hand the reins over to Bob Budiansky. And the rest... is history. For his part in, let's face it, shaping many of our lives in one way or another, we say "Thank you, Jim." And may he rest in peace.

Hasbro -- er, I mean, Cobra Commander has revealed a new HasLab project that he doesn't want you to fund. Or you can. Whatever, doesn't matter to him -- even he admits it's kinda cool, though (no pun intended, at least on my part). It's the G.I. Joe Snow C.A.T. (Combat All-Terrain) Vehicle! Here is what the admitted former car salesman himself had to say about it: You can get a closer look at the official product shots and more details on the official HasLab page. (I'm particularly fond of the LED cockpit.) The campaign runs through August 14th, with an expected shipping period of late Fall 2026. It requires 8,000 backers to fund, and is well on its way with 5,057 as of this writing. And I'm writing about it for a few reasons: 1) I had the original toy when I was a kid, and really liked it. 2) I don't collect G.I. Joe Classified (I can barely keep up with Transformers I want these days), but man, this thing looks neat! 3) Funny cartoon snake-man made with the ha-ha's. 4) What made me look at this in the first place: There being a Transformer of some degree of popularity who turns into this very vehicle, so I thought it might have some crossover appeal based on that alone. That was before they broke out the fish, too. I don't know if any or all of this is going to make it worth $324.99 USD to any of you, but I thought at the very least, you might like to check it out. With all that said, feel free to talk about this, memories of the original, or even the Energon Decepticon version in the comments below, or over in the "G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal" thread of our forums! Snow, Joe! Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Greetings, Cyber-warriors! It's been a hot minute since we last checked in on Hasbro's new stopgap to fill in time until The Next Big Thing in Transformers multimedia, Transformers: Cyberworld, and that's no bull. This is: Kidding aside, the cartoon debuts in about two weeks, and has piqued interest after the initial rollout of toy reveals underwhelmed. And while we were ooh-ing at Studio Series and aah-ing at Age of the Primes, a few new entries in the line almost managed to sneak by us. Have a look-see! All of you who said Mirage wasn't a pretool of Starscream? Pay up. This is but a small cut -- 'tis but a flesh wound, if you will -- of what Entertainment Earth has in store, with pre-orders open and many more official product shots for all four of the above 4-inch Cyber Changers, as well as the Scorponok Strike Battle Figure playset. Go have a look! Then you can talk about how much cooler this Optimus looks than the other one, or how much Chop Shop there reminds you of that Beast Wars Happy Meal toy you had as a kid below, or in our handy-dandy "Transformers: Cyberworld, Mecha Anime Bulls for Days" thread in the trusty Allspark forums, which is where I found out about this new hotness in the first place! So join in now, and be ahead of the curve! Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Coming from website Bleeding Cool, they offer up the rumor that Robert Kirkman and Skybound Stufios have (potentially) sold an animated series based upon their Energon Universe. I.e. Transformers, G.I. Joe and Void Rivals. Click here to read the full article, or check out the highlights below. So then, what do you think of this rumor? Do you believe it? Would you be interested in seeing the Energon Universe make the jump to animation? Whatever you thoughts, comment below, follow the links, or join the Skybound discussion in our Energon Universe thread.

ICYMI*, the DL** is that TLS*** is bringing back MASK****, with W1***** at BBTS******, including SDCC*******! * In Case You Missed It ** Down Low *** The Loyal Subjects **** Mobile Armored Strike Kommand (yeah, we know) ***** Wave 1 ****** Big Bad Toy Store ******* San Diego Comic-Con But for real, the full news is that on July 1st, Big Bad Toy Store -- that's right, the same affiliate who advertises on our front page, and who you can help the Allspark with by using our special affiliate link when you place an order there -- will open up pre-orders for the new reival of the M.A.S.K. toy line. Now, this isn't your father's M.A.S.K. -- at least, assuming your father grew up with the IDW incarnation of the franchise. No sirree, T-Bob, this one is going back to the originals from the '80s. So, maybe your grandfather's M.A.S.K.? Feel free to A.S.K. (Ask Some Kuestions) the next time you see him, I guess. Among other brands that Hasbro can't be bothered with, but are still only too happy to collect licensing fees from, The Loyal Subjects is taking the reins on this release and making the toys themselves. And to kick things off, that includes a special San Diego Comic-Con version of the Rhino Mobile Defense Unit. Here's what they have to say about that: If it's like the one I had as a kid, it's a sure treat for anyone who owns it. Heck, it may even top mine -- this one looks like it supports effects parts! Take that, mid-'80s toy company who made lots of cool stuff and got swallowed up and oh now I've made myself sad. Anyway, we've mirrored some pics of the Mobile Defense Unit here, but head over to ToyArk to see the rest of the goodies from the first wave of toys that you can pre-order (remember, use the link!) from BBTS beginning July 1st! Thanks to Steevy Maximus for the tip! What do you think? Are you going to M.A.S.K. up on July 1st, and show some valor to V.E.N.O.M.? Maybe put Miles through some Mayhem? Tell us about it in the comments below, or in the aptly-named "The Loyal Subjects to relaunch MASK, and other Legacy Hasbro Brands" thread on our forums, where I learned of this hot tip!

Okay, guess it's up to me to -- an hour long?!? I don't get paid enough for this. Yep, it's time once again for another Hasbro Pulse Transformers Tuesday Fanstream, with Nate from Marketing for Action Brands and Evan Designer, who I'm assuming is Mark Designer's brother or something. And they're here to reveal everything we've been talking about for weeks and months now, such as Studio Series '86 Megatron! Everything shown today is available now for pre-order, and no exclusives! They also have a poll that they're really interested in your feedback on, and are even answering some fan comments. Heeeeere's Megsy! And they say yes, people ask about him being a "blaster" all the time, but he's a tank due to legal stuff. Funny bit about how when he first revealed it, Evan was going to just put the handheld gun version on the table next to the robot and talk about the marvels of mass compression, but sadly, leakers had to spoil all that fun. He has butterfly hinge articulation, if you're into that. The version of a tank he's based on is a prototype from the '80s called the "armored blaster system" ("or something like that"). Wanted to make sure they got the hip skirt flaps on there. Last Leader wave for Studio Series in 2025. Due to high demand, they're rerunning Studio Series '86 Grimlock with Wheelie. The Studio Series for Transformers: War for Cybertron rolls on with a full trio of Seekers, as Thundercracker joins Starscream and Skywarp. They not only wanted to give them each different expressions, but noticed in the games their eye colors were different from one-another, and so they wanted to reflect that, too. Miiiiiiiix It'smaster! I mean, iiiiiiiiit's Mixmaster! And he's a Voyager so as to better support Devastator. Some jokes about being a classic '80s cement mixer, rather than the modern kind you can't tell whether they're driving backwards or not. Scavenger joins in on the fun, and they talk a bit about what goes into determining size class, and how Voyager affords them more that they can do with the internals. Like ratchet joints that can support five other robots. It's Devastator! Smaller than Combiner Wars, but with modern articulation and cartoon accuracy! It's Devastator! And how he scales to Studio Series '86 Optimus Prime and Grimlock! They design the Combiners all at once, but for logistics reasons, they had to boot the last part of Menasor to a different release wave, while here, they wanted to make sure to get everyone out within the same year. If you're planning to get these, you'll probably want to do it sooner than later, as they said there are currently no plans for a gift set in 2026 or 2027, the latter of which they're already "knee-deep" into planning. That isn't to say they'll never do one, but if they do, you're going to be waiting a while for it. Possibilities for redecos include Generation 2 and toy-accurate. It's Elita-One, star of the move Transformers One! You can tell, because her name is in the title! Comes with tracker blaster and jetpack. Has knees, ankles, and a unique transformation where her wheels split in half so part of them can form part of her chest. Or back, really. Torso. I scream, you scream, we all scream for Starscream. Transformers One Starscream, specifically. Despite what we've heard about the movie's sequels (i.e. ain't gonna be any), they say they're interested in continuing to flesh out the line. Sounds like they want to do all the Seekers, but Big Hollywood complicated that a little by giving them each unique designs. "Expect that at some point in the future." And the last deluxe for the last Studio Series wave of the year is... This one! The one everyone has been waiting for, right? Well, actually, it's not an Autobot at all! Hailing from Transformers: Age of Extinction, they dug deep into the concepts and pulled out Widowmaker, a KSI drone who we never saw a robot mode for, whose concept would go on to become Stinger, and they basically fleshed the earlier concept out and tweaked the color to come up with KSI Widow. As long as people are digging the concept art figures, they'll keep making them. And not just for the live-action movies, but the '86 Transformers movie and whatever else. Maybe there's hope for Dragon Beast yet? Okay, so they're thinking more in terms of like, Inferno from a cut scene, but hey, a guy can dream, right? They muse about all the Transformers who've sported orange over the years. Write in the comments your favorite orange Transformer! (Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime here.) Next is the Transformers Timelines 2-packs, showing off Optimus and Starscream, as well as Megatron and Bumblebee, who will have "quantities" available on-site at San Diego Comic-Con, but not as an exclusive (that would be the Void Rivals pack). They tease next year's theme for these four characters, saying it'll be something "a little more original". Tell them in the comments which themes you would like to see! Our first look at Studio Series for '26 is Airachnid! Got her down to a Deluxe scale. "Thin, but significant." Movable legs on balljoints. Size comparison with Starscream and Elita-One. These are prototypes, in case you weren't aware. The same ones they base the instructions on! Had to give her heels in order to be able to support herself. But that's not all! Here's a sneak peek at the Voyager-scale Alpha Trion, too! Has sculpted battle damage, grime, etc. so he can look as run-down as he did in the movie. Now, for those comments! "More Combiners" was a common sentiment, with Defensor, Predaking, and Rail Racer getting numerous mentions. Evan feels like Defensor makes sense, what with Bruticus and all, but he's a Technobot stan, so hopefully we get there eventually. For Rail Racer, Evan mused that each piece would have to be a Titan, because Rail Racer "is monstrous". As far as filling out collections, apparently Mudflap and Skids come up a lot. Evan says it's "more of an eventuality," they keep looking to see if it's the right time, but there's nothing yet. "Never say never, I think we'll get there eventually, just not right now." Monstructor: "Maybe he's coming, I promise he won't be dinosaurs." "Potentially coming." Fan Poll Question: "Do you want to see toys of characters from Season 1 and 2 of the G1 cartoon, that did not appear in the 86 movie, in the Studio Series 86 segment?" And they don't just mean guys who were in earlier drafts of the script like Inferno. A simple "yes" or "no" in their comments is all they're looking for on this one. And that's basically the stream! If you want to view it for yourself, have at it: So, what did you think? Leave a comment below, or on YouTube, or in the "Studio Series discussion" thread in our forums. Or heck, all three! Dis-course! Dis-course! Dis-course! Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Transformers: Reactivate, nee Transformers: Rise, is something of a recent tale of tragedy among fans of robots in disguise. In a post-Transformers: Devastation world, video games that were more than meets the eye felt fewer and further between, and were usually fare such as Transformers: Battlegrounds, Transformers: Galactic Trials, and Transformers: Earthspark - Expedition. Not necessarily bad games, but certainly a far cry from the Triple-A fare that fans had grown accustomed to with Activision Blizzard's titles based on the Michael Bay films, the War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron duology, or the aforementioned Devastation. But rising above the rest was a game that even went so far as to be featured at The Game Awards and have actual tie-in figures manufactured, released, and sold. Despite all of this, little would come of the game itself following that announcement, until its unfortunate cancellation at the start of this year. While we thought that unfortunate news would be the last we would hear of the game, something new has emerged. No, the project has not been reactivated itself, but we are privy to at least seeing what had been done with the game prior to the game getting the Jhiaxus treatment. RoboGamer1HD has been an avid follower of the title, and apparently has a build of the game, one which they'll be giving us a walkthrough of as a series on YouTube. From the description: RoboGamer1HD also had this to say in the pinned comment on the video: There will surely be more to come in the future. You know, provided Hasbro doesn't do something like send the Pinkertons to abscond with RoboGamer1HD's hard drive containing the build or something. But they'd never do something like that... right? Anyway, if you're interested in the development history of this title up to its unfortunate end, you can find a whole section about that and more in the article on TFWiki. And if you'd like to further mourn the title's loss, we've got a whole thread for it over in the good ol' Allspark forums. You can also leave a vial of your energon for it in the comments below.

Let's just bring you up to speed. In 2007, David Steinberger, John Roberts, and Peter Jaffe founded ComiXology. And it was good. Then, in 2014, they sold it to Amazon. That was less good. “At the time, it seemed like the right decision,” Mr. Steinberger told The New York Times. “Our mission was to make everyone on the planet a comic fan, and Amazon clearly had the resources and the population connected to Kindle that we thought would carry that mission. With what I knew then, it was absolutely the right call.” The goodness continued its decline as Amazon would fold ComiXology into their Kindle service in 2022, all but completely shuttering the brand. People were already unhappy, but this just made them more so. But now, Steinberger and his new partner, fellow ComiXology veteran Chip Mosher (who sounds like he'd be a blast at parties), are back with a new service that seems poised to fill the void left behind by the demise of ComiXology. Enter: Neon Ichiban. After raising over $7 million from movie and game industry investors, Steinberger and Mosher are looking to debut the new service next month. The site and its companion app aim to be "a dedicated experience for comics." “Understanding how comic book fans and people who should be fans want to shop and think about and browse doesn’t exist anymore,” Steinberger explained. “The Comixology app, where you can have all your comics in one place, does not exist anymore. It’s all just part of Kindle.” According to the Times' report, Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Oni Press, Kodansha, DSTLRY, and Vault Comics will be there at the launch, with more publishers to be named later. Naturally, one would hope that current Transformers and G.I. Joe publisher Skybound Entertainment will sign on as well. While they currently have a home on Amazon's Kindle, more options are merrier. If you're interested in getting the lay of the land and "reserving your spot" for when the site officially opens, you can head on over there now and check it out.

June 20, 1975, JAWS hit theaters and made a generation of moviegoers afraid to get their feet wet. 50 years later, it's June 20, 2025 and JAWS is still one of the greatest films ever made. Yes, we're getting old. General movie news isn't normally a core part of this site's fare, but it was morally obligatory to say something on this day. I could go on about how this film is nearly perfect, how every single scene and nearly every line of dialog advances the film along, either in terms of plot or characterization, without a speck of waste. But at this point pretty much everything that can be said has been said. There are whole essays, books, and documentaries devoted to this masterpiece. So for me, the best way to appreciate this movie is simply to watch it again and bask in the timeless brilliance. You can also check out a variety of JAWS merchandise at BigBadToyStore. Like NECA's surprise homage to the old Ideal game. The original. Credit: ThirdShiftVintage I want that NECA set. It's hilarious that they made it. In the meantime though, I'm just going to break out my 35th Anniversary DVD and watch this masterpiece again.

It's been a hot minute since we last heard from fan-favorite voice actor Garry Chalk, who in these circles is best known for his portrayal of Optimus Primal in Beast Wars and Beast Machines and then Optimus Prime throughout the entire Unicron Trilogy. Back at Christmastime, the latest word was that he was dealing with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Now, after going through 12 successful treatments of chemotherapy, Mr. Chalk has a word of thanks to share with you, his fans: His next PET scan is set for July. If all goes well, then that will officially put him into remission. If you'd like to cheer him on in this final stretch, or just offer him some other well wishes, you can do so at the following places: Instagram @ chalkgarry Cameo @ cameo.com/garrychalk Twitter @ garrychalktalk Instagram @ primal.parodies Instagram @ cannedice.santora I'm sure he would think that's just Prime.

On June 10th, 2025, Hasbro Pulse hosted another Fanstream for Transformers on their YouTube channel. Hosted by Nate from Marketing for Hasbro's Action Brands and Mark Designer, pretty much everything they showed off today was already shown off previously -- and only by a matter of hours, thanks to Amazon France. So if you're interested in the publicity stills, then be sure to check out our article on the leaked goods here, as well as here. But that's not what this article is about. In addition to letting you know what's available on Hasbro Pulse for pre-order now, what this is really about is some of the finer details, the stuff revealed that they may not put on the back of the box or clearly disclose via the aforementioned images. Let's get to the good stuff. For starters, everything they showed off is available for pre-order now on Hasbro Pulse. Well, except for the Amazon exclusives, which are available to Pulse Premium members. Kicking things off, they have the first official (?) reveal of the completed Superion, thanks to the arrivals of Fireflight and Skydive. While not a detail, Nate did say they are looking for feedback via the video's comments section on how they're doing with regards to the Commander price point and what other Combiners people want to see. So whether you like what they've been doing or not, there's your cue. Venin, the "true leader of the Insecticons," comes with a blaster and a hatchet that can combine to make an even bigger hatchet. Okay, yeah, they show that on the box. Look, pickings are slim on the trivia side so far, okay? Micronus Prime is a Mini-Con who transforms into a disc that resembles the panels seen in Transformers Armada, which fits into the torso of his exo-suit, which can not only turn into a one-wheeled motorcycle, but also has Weaponizer functionality. So you can pluck off his arms and use them as blasters, or his legs that form the motorcycle's spinning wheel as a Junkion-esque shield (not shown). He also comes with an artifact known as the Chimera Stone, which is that little round piece sticking out of the exo-suit's chest there, and bears his (really tiny) insignia. Next up is Alpha Trion, who comes with a working Covenant of Primus! And by "working," I mean that the pages actually turn and bear Cybertronian text on them, with one bearing an image of Cybertron itself (seen above). The Covenant and quill each have a 5mm peg on it so that anyone can hold them, too. *eyes Beast Wars Megatron* In addition to having an alt mode based on concept art, he can also remove his Autobot symbol, just as he did (as A-3) in the episode "Forever is a Long Time Coming." Neutralize your dark Quintesson hordes with the power of positive brand identification today! (Or whenever this ships.) Flatline is a Decepticon made to be reminiscent of the IDW version of the character. Next up is "the first centaur to ever grace Transformers," Onyx Prime. He comes with his Tryptych Mask Spear, which is his artifact. And while he didn't say what it is, Mark did implore people to collect all of the artifacts, as all of the artifacts have a "special purpose" for Cybertron. Whether he's just talking about the lore behind them, or implying some sort of use with a future release, your guess is as good as ours. That wraps up Age of the Primes at regular retail for 2025, they say, as they move on to a few other goodies. As a part of the "Wreck 'n Doom Collection," the Autobot Sandstorm vs. Slugslinger 2-pack is exclusive to Amazon and Hasbro Pulse. These two are designed to be more animation-accurate than their previous releases, and they also added that they're still trying to "figure out" Misfire to complete the Decepticon side. The G2 Universe Dinobots 2-pack with Slug and Snarl is a fan channel exclusive, including Hasbro Pulse. They also solicited feedback for "the other two you're waiting for," so be sure to tell them what colors you want to see Slash and Skar in! And like the SSSS 2-pack, the Studio Series 3-pack of Megatron, The Fallen, and Soundwave from Revenge of the Second One There is available to pre-order now on Amazon and Hasbro Pulse. And they said there's more to come from the movie Studio Series toys, so there's that. With that, they wrap things up with the promise of more to come soon as they wrap up Studio Series for 2025, and tease some reveals at San Diego Comic-Con as well. As always, you can discuss what you've seen here in the comments below, or head over to the Age of the Primes and Studio Series threads in our forums to see what else has already been said by the community!
