Hey, remember the time Allspark sponsor TFSource (among others) wanted to talk to us about the impact tariffs would have on us and their business? Yeah, good times. Well, there's been an update. From an email on the evening of Thursday, May 8th, they write: So, does this make you excited? Has your stress been reduced? Tell us in the comments below, or join in the "Hasbr-uh-oh" thread that is already in progress. Side note: That header pic is from the email itself. I didn't make it up myself this time.

It's time once again to dock like wild, as the newest episode of Transformers: Wild King has landed on YouTube! And if you loved those episodes of Beast Wars where Optimus Primal rode atop Rhinox like they were Donkey Kong and Rambi, well then, maybe this episode has a little something for you. Or maybe not. In any case, here's the Japanese version, which actually came out 12 days ago: Seems that one of the new characters has a verbal tic that took False Prime, Sabrblade, and the TFWiki crew a bit of time to fully understand. But they got it done, and here are the fruits of their labor! So, how about those new guys, eh? And of course, if you're new to this whole wild king-thing, you can go back and view the previous episodes here. When you're done, you can talk about this episode below, or join in over in the 'New "Wildocking" Animal Limb Combiners from TakaraTomy' thread (should probably update that title...) on our forums!

Virtually every fan growing up with Transformers in the 80s was drawn to its unique aesthetic, which brought an alien world of shape-shifting cars and jets and other things to undeniable, imagination-stoking life. One of the most striking visual anchors for Generation 1 was the classic back-of-box mural depicting Autobots and Decepticons waging a pitched battle in space. This artwork, as well as later pieces like the Transformers book Sun Raid cover and inner illustrations, is credited to noted science fiction artist David Schleinkofer, who also did pieces for Hot Wheels storybooks as well as box art for various computer games like Absolute Zero. Schleinkofer recently passed away on April 20, 2025, of Lou Gehrig's disease, as reported by comics website downthetubes.net, from which many of these images are mirrored. Schleinkofer's signature airbrushed style graced many works in the 70s and 80s, and he left his visually immersive mark on various franchises, including Battlestar Galactica, Sim City, and Robotech. His art also saw publication in the likes of Asimov Sci-Fi Magazine and Cosmopolitan. In the 90s, his work shifted more toward fine art and landscapes, as well as paperback covers via commission. An interview with Schleinkofer was shared in 2013 on the alt.toys.transformers group, and can still be checked out. You can check out David Schleinkofer's Flickr page here.

Starting at the $9.99 Cyber-Changer price point, we have: Optimus Prime Skybyte And Starscream Huh, I really expected less of a smile, more of a smirk. Oh well. In the $14.99 range: Move over, Tony Stark, we have... Armor Bumblebee And last but not least, at $54.03 (or $9.98 a month over six months, because that's where we are now)... (Update: Whoops! Apparently that's the price someone importing from the UK put on it. MSRP ought to be about $29.99. Thanks, Steevy!) Chomp & Battle Grimlock And check out this cool back-of-box spread for Big Grim: Now, some of you might notice that some of these (well, all of these except Grimlock, as of this writing) are unavailable/out of stock.

From the official Twitter account of the "Transformers Information Bureau" by Takara Tomy, we've received an interesting bit of information for anyone who might be visiting a particular region of Japan anytime soon. Per PrimalxConvoy on our forums, the tweet reads: Of course, if you're unable to make it, at least you can catch a glimpse of how it looks in the image above. Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Did you enjoy last month's debut of the all-new Transformers: Wild King series on YouTube? Well, tough! Takara Tomy have seen fit to beget a third episode of this series on their official YouTube channel, which you can view in all its glory right here! Remember, you can turn on YouTube's auto-translated subtitles to try to have some more intimate idea of what the heck is going on! Yeah. Okay, so if you want something better than that, and which actually occurs in sync with when the characters are speaking, then we've got just the thing for you! Allspark forum member Sabrblade and some others helped False Convoy out with this one, giving us a fansub to be proud of for this little short! It's lacking the hilariously blatant advertisement for the toys at the end of the original, but if you're just in it for the story... well, I'm sorry. But also, you'll be good to go here. The first two episodes got the treatment, too, albeit before Sabrblade and others signed on to help. You can check those out here. Feel free to talk about this below, or over in the 'New "Wildocking" Animal Limb Combiners from TakaraTomy' thread on our forums!

Mark Maher's behind the scenes showcases continue. Tonight we're looking at Age of the Primes Alchemist Prime. Source: Instagram Join the Allspark today.

In light of recent events, online toy retailers are starting to feel the crunch as a result of the tariff war that is going on. This has prompted at least two such retailers, Allspark.com sponsors TFsource and BigBadToyStore, to issue statements about how this will affect their ability to conduct business and you, the consumer, at this point in time. First, from TFsource, in an email titled "Note About Tariffs and Their Impact on Collectibles": Similarly, BigBadToyStore Founder and President Joel Boblit had this to say in an email of his own: In addition, The Toy Book has posted their own report on the matter and how it's affecting those in the business of making children (and adults) happy: The Toy Association, which runs a charity called "The Toy Foundation", numerous shows each year such as Toy Fair (among other things), is trying to push back: You can read the full report here. (Thanks, Steevy Maximus!) Unfortunately, there has been no word as of yet from Hasbro themselves about how this might affect their operations going forward, including their online Hasbro Pulse store. But this may be to be expected, as things have been in a constant state of flux with regards to the tariffs this week alone, even prompting video game manufacturer Nintendo to push back the official start date for pre-ordering their recently-announced Nintendo Switch 2 console in the United States and Canada -- the latter only hours before they were due to open on April 9th. If you'd like to discuss how this affects you, or anything else you've heard from any other retailers or manufacturers, you can do so in the comments below, or in the "Hasbr-uh-oh" thread that is already in progress (suffice to say, this isn't the first blow they've received in recent).
