Latest News and Updates!

Apparently the ol' Earthspark still glows, because two more upcoming Deluxe class figures have been spotted, so to speak. Listings on Shop.Hasbro.com give us a good look at Cosmos and Spitfire!

Various outlets have reported the passing of former Hasbro CEO Alan G. Hassenfeld in London, England, on July 8, 2025. He was 76. His passing was confirmed by former Hasbro executive Alfred Verrecchia, who provided no additional details. After joining the company in 1970 and moving up the ranks, including becoming executive vice president in 1980, Alan took over running Hasbro from his brother Stephen Hassenfeld in 1989 until stepping down as CEO in 2003. He retired from chairmanship in 2005 and took on the role of chairman emeritus, which he relinquished in 2024. Since his retirement, he lived a life of philanthropy, establishing the nonprofit Hassenfeld Family Initiative LLC in 2008, "a philanthropy with the goals of globalizing safety and human rights within the area of children's products, empower women in developing countries." His work as chairman of the Hassenfeld Family Initiative included establishing the Ethical Supply Chain Program to support the focus on safety and human rights in producing children's products. In 2022, Alan and the Hassenfeld Family Foundation partnered with The Toy Foundation to spearhead an industry-wide relief effort to support families impacted by the war in Ukraine. Alan pledged $1m to the effort, saying, "Everything we do as an industry is about children. It’s our responsibility to do everything in our power to try and bring a smile to the faces of these children as they endure this incredible darkness. As we watch these events unfold, how can any of us not want to help in every possible way?" Alan also founded the Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, RI, and his family contributed to the Hassenfeld Child Health Innovation Institute at Brown University in 2015. Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks released this statement: Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Yeah, sorry, I'm hot and tired, so no making with the ha-ha in the headline today. Will I think of something for the article, though? Read on, and find out! The folks all the way over at Takara Tomy have posted a new video to their T-SPARK YouTube channel featuring the newest MPG release, God Bomber from 1988's Transformers: Masterforce! No longer must your MPG Ginrai run around naked as he takes on the forces of such Destrons as Overlord and Black Zarak! if you're familiar with God Bomber's whole shtick, there's probably very little here that will surprise you. He can attach to Ginrai's cab in trailer mode, or connect to Ginrai's trailer to really frustrate traffic -- that is, until you flip the wing-mounted rockets and add effects parts so he can plow through traffic. He also comes with three figures of the Headmaster Junior trio, who can ride inside of him as his own self-propelled vehicle instead of their smelly old Transtectors. But unfortunately, it's standing room only. That's the price of taking public transit, I guess. And for those of you who just like to watch, a decent portion of the video's duration is taken up by showing the step-by-step process of converting him to robot mode, as well as into a spiffy new power suit for Powermaster Prime's Pacific parallel persona. Better than anything Hasbro has committed to paper in some time, at that! Via Google Translate, the description adds the following (slightly cleaned up for consistency's sake): Not mentioned is that he apparently comes with the sword he is briefly shown holding in the video, the "God Blade" according to TFWiki. Why? I don't know, I still need to watch Masterforce. I can only assume because everyone and everything is better with a sword. Just look at He-Man. Nobody really cared when he was just swinging an axe around until he held aloft a magic sword and started screaming his head off while static-popping his cat with the tip. Maybe Super Ginrai can do a similar thing with it before buffing up into God Ginrai, yeah? Hey, it's your toy (assuming you buy one), don't let anyone tell you what to do. So, yeah. That's the long and the short of it. Did I bring the funny? Probably not. We'll probably get shut down if anyone looks at this post, so please don't tell all your friends. If you decide you want one of these, you'd better hop on it quick. Places like BBTS are selling out of pre-orders, but our sponsor TFSource still has some slots for the Ginrai Box Set left ahead of its September release! Oh, and if you want to talk about this, we've got comments below, and we've got not one, but two other potential places to do so! Hop on over to "Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread" for all sorts of Masterpiece-related discourse, or hit up the "Japanese Transformers News" thread if you're interested in what else is happening over there.

Hey, CoffeeHorse got to talk about Jaws, so I called dibs on Back to the Future. And hey, I can talk about Back to the Future for a while, but I'll keep it brief. On July 3rd, 1985, the movie hit theaters that was nothing short of generational, and generation-spanning. It was a movie that those growing up in the '80s could relate to through its main character, as well as their parents who'd grown up some 30 years earlier by way of the setting for the majority of the film. Nothing quite like it had ever been made before, and who knows, may never be made again -- at least, if its creators have any say in it. But on the bright side, we got a musical! Of course, we also got two sequels, which help round out the story. For real, while people argue over which of the three is the best, the truth is that you're missing out if you're only watching one of the three. And while we may never get a proper Back to the Future Part IV, there's been no shortage of supplemental material. A two-season animated series, a video game, and even comic books co-written by the film's co-writer, Bob Gale, which help further flesh out the world we see in the movies. Those came from IDW, who also held the Transformers license at the time, meaning that when Hasbro created a Collaborative figure, well... Yeah, we got a figure with actual lore, baby! (Actually, Ghostbusters got that, too. Sweet.) Also worth noting is how at the time, there was virtually no Back to the Future merchandise. But now? You're spoiled for choice at places like our sponsor, Big Bad Toy Store. 1985 was great, sure, but the future has its perks as well. Oh, and one other thing...

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!

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?

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!
