Latest News and Updates!

Blokees keeps on, er, trucking with their next wave of "Wheels" assemble-it-yourself vehicle mode kits. This second wave, called "Wreck and Rule", continues to heavily feature vehicle modes from the "More Than Meets the Eye" era of IDW's Transformers comics. True to its name, the wave features classic Wreckers like Springer, Ironfist/Fisitron, Roadbuster, and Scoop, alongside some interesting additions to the line like Cosmos, Huffer, Pipes, Shattered Glass Sideswipe, and a measly three Decepticons in altmode. But while it may just be one Stunticon (Breakdown) and one Battlecharger (Runamuck), that third Decepticon is OVERLORD... jet and tank altmode, and all. In a very Blokees move, theyv'e even gone and added some innovations to this...

We return with our Left in Japan series with more G1 Transformers games that never made it out of Japan. Since we last left off in the 1980s with Nintendo games that never arrived on our shore, Transformers fans actually had 2 major releases for Transformers games in the 1990s. The first was an open world Beast Wars game where you play as either Maximal or Predacon with Season 1 characters. The second game we got was a 2d fighting game called Beast Wars: Transmetals for both the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. However, it would be several years later before we would get the next Transformers video game, 2004's Transformers. This game, released on the PlayStation 2 to much fan praise, featured, not the G1 cast, but the Armada characters...

We're havin' a ball over here, as ChaosOmega over on Reddit has gotten their feet on a handball -- I mean, their hands on a football -- from overseas. But this isn't just any flying footy projectile; it's more than meets the eye, because Breakaway is a robot in disguise! I mean, obviously, though. Right? Because why else would we be talking about it here? Anyway, they've provided some in-hand pictures of this totally-not-Optimus football (because you can do that in this version), and we're sharing them here. Soccer to me, baby! Feel free to argue about whether this or those other guys are the true football Transformers, or any other thoughts you have, in the comments below. Or hey, you can also drop into the thread in our forums...

From reliable leaker Nune over at TFW comes the first look at stock images / packaging for Studio Series Titan Class Grimlock. This figure converts from robot mode to a tyrannosaurus mode large enough for Studio Series Optimus Prime to ride into battle in 59 steps. Want to discuss this king-sized news?

Somehow Premium Finish returned. TakaraTomy has tweeted a promotional image of Dramatic Capture Series Optimus Prime and Jetfire, revealing all modes of the included toys and their accessories. The set includes Studio Series Optimus Prime and Jetfire, with a luxurious (if incomplete) paint job. Prime notably includes one blaster and both swords, whereas previous releases have included either the blaster or the swords. However, the silver forearms of Studio Series Optimus Prime remain uncorrected. You can't have it all. But if you want to have this, you can snag a pre-order starting March 6. This set is a notable change of pace for Dramatic Capture Series, which up until now has focused on the G1 cartoon, making its trajectory an...

Garry Chalk took to his Facebook to give us an update on how his battle with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is going, and the news? It's good! Here's the message from the man himself, via Chalk Talk on Twitter: Chalk Talk adds that Garry was the first candidate in Canada to receive an experimental chemotherapy, and due to its success, it will now be used on more patients. I think he would agree that there's a word for that... We knew you could do it, Big Bot. For those who don't know, Garry Chalk is perhaps best known among Transformers fans for portraying Optimus Primal in Beast Wars and Beast Machines, as well as Optimus Prime in Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, and Transformers: Cybertron. Outside of Transformers...

The original Transformers Legends line came to a close in Japan back in 2019, and with it ended the manga which told the story of why every single new attempt made over the years to create more cartoon-accurate toys is actually canon to their version of Generation 1, where the characters already looked like the characters to begin with, and oh, I've gone cross-eyed. In all seriousness, though: It looks like TakaraTomy are continuing their Transformers Legends line with Transformers New Legends, which... well, features new Legends toys. And stories! With it comes a new manga titled "The Transformers: End of G1 Universe". Catchy, huh? If you're wondering why it says "Chapter 2" in the above image, however, it's because the two parts...

After another week off, it's time for another week on Cyberworld! For "Hider & Seeker," the YouTube description is thus: Check it out: As an added bonus, Sabrblade says that the game scenes -- yes, only those -- from episodes 6, 2, 8, and 11 are attached afterward. Eh, makes more sense than running the previous three episodes backwards, at least. Anyway, here's my spoiler-filled recap and thoughts: Feel free to talk about this episode here, or the series as a whole over in the "Transformers 2 Cyber 2 World" thread in our forums!

We've heard speculation. We've heard rumors. We've heard hints. Now, we see. TFW2005 member Nune, who we will remember from last month's big leak, has revealed stock images of Generations Selects Monstructor, a gift set comprised of a quite extensive remold of Transformers Legacy United Dinoking, itself a remold of Legacy United Volcanicus. The Monster Pretenders here have brand new alt modes that are... quite fitting for the characters at least. The originals are roughly the size of Micromasters and no more complicated than that. I for one find that the goofy charm of the original is quite well preserved. Now excuse me while I press F5 until Hasbro makes the official announcement and preorders begin. Join the Allspark today.

From Joshua Reese on Transformers Botposting on Facebook, we have our first look at Season 2 Transformers Cyberworld figures. The photos feature both toys present at NY Toy Fair as well as some renders. The toys feature some returning characters as well as some new to the toyline. All include translucent sections representing an Energon Surge as the theme of the line. See the gallery below for a first look at these upcoming toys! Want to talk about these upcoming figures?

Looks like Transformers: Cyberworld had graduated from a mere stopgap filler line to a [Note to self: Come back and insert something witty here later. --LBD] line! IGN reports that Transformers: Cyberworld, the little line that was said to only be here to fill in the gap until Hasbro had an idea of what to do after abandoning Earthspark early, is going into extra innings with a second season slated to debut on YouTube in August 2026. Here's the synopsis: To that end, the second season comes with a potential subtitle to reflect the new importance the Transformers' life force plays in this chapter of the saga: "Energon Surge"! To that end, a new Bumblebee "Power Spark" figure will be released this Summer based on a new form he'll take...

You know, like we usually do. Only we don't have to do it alone this time! Beginning at 10am (presumably EST) on Saturday, February 14th, Hasbro Pulse is hosting a watch along as they stream Valentine's themed episodes from the original Transformers cartoon! Now, I don't remember any being specifically themed towards Valentine's Day, but there were a few romantic ones sprinkled about in there. So join in, and cheer as Powerglide gets the girl! Cry as Seaspray parts ways with the one girl who can put up with his gargling voice! Laugh as Ultra Magnus says "I've never seen anything this beautiful in the entire galaxy... All right, give me the bomb." Cry again as you're reminded of when Season 5 left weekday syndication for Saturday...

In Lessons Swiftly Learned And Never (Or Repeatedly) Forgotten news, the 40th anniversary of the 1986 The Transformers: The Movie is under way, and Hasbro has decided to celebrate it in a unique, and perhaps appropriate, way. Bitter children of the 80s Fans everywhere may be delighted to discover that Hasbro is embarking on The Apology Tour, a cheeky playful celebration of the franchise's animated classic and its role in killing Optimus Prime escalating the age-old battle between Autobots and Decepticons. This tour includes "special fan events and screenings" across the year, a slew of cool 86-movie-related Studio Series product, and apparently even more from Hasbro AND partners like Super 7, Jada Toys, Culture Fly, and beyond...

From Nune at TFW2005, we have our first look at Wave 2 of Studio Series '86 figures. Featured in this wave are: Kranix, the Lithonian who famously slipped away from Unicron only to be devoured by Sharkticons on Quintessa: He converts from Lithonian Scientist to the spaceship mode previously only seen in the Marvel comics. Astrotrain, a brand new take on the character that converts between robot, space shuttle and train mode. It has yet to be revealed if Studio Series Devastator can be assembled inside of him in shuttle mode. Shockwave, which appears to be a remold of the previous Siege version of the character without the additional armor/parts. Skywarp, adding to the SS'86 Seeker group And finally Sunstreaker and...

Multiple new listings from Amazon Japan have revealed official pictures of multiple upcoming releases. First of all is The King! Anime-style Missing Link Grimlock in glorious cartoon colors: Next up is Transformers Overgear Ironhide and Blackout.

A retool / repaint of the 2018 Optimus Prime mold with colors and accessories referencing the EVA-01 unit from the anime. Want to join the discussion on these upcoming figures?
