JtPrime has posted more final details on upcoming Generations Selects: Obviously, Magnificus and Omega Sentinel are out or about to be. For the remaining 3 Selects- Triggercon Windsweeper- Guaranteed to be a retool of Needlenose. I’m tempted just for the late G1 representation. Predacon...

That’s the nice things this time around: most of the characters will have Core and Studio Series options by the end of the year. Though, I thought I read that the RotB Studio Series Optimus Prime (supposedly a retool of SS38) was slated for a Target exclusive. JtPrime has posted new updates...

An interesting tidbit from the Fan Call: the usual guys we see on the Fan Streams do NOT have any involvement with the development of the kids lines. It’s an entirely separate team to which so much fandom ire is directed! I get an image in my head of the Collector guys at the Hasbro brands...

And lo, Hasbro described Siege as being based on More Than Meets The Eye episodes, but after 5 years, we'll have...TWO figures referencing the designs from the episodes. Both retailer exclusive, even!

With Rise of the Beasts, Hasbro has assortments called "Core Deluxe" and "Core Voyager". They are "traditional" Transformers toys marketed under the Rise of the Beasts banner. Think Cyberverse or Earthspark Deluxe figures, but now with a Voyager sized assortment.

Beast Changer Rhinox is sized like a Core Class figure, but not part of the Core Line TF7 Core Rhinox is Voyager class, and so is the Studio Series Rhinox. Studio Series Arcee is Core Class, but not part of the TF7 Core line. Optimus Primal has TF7 Core Voyager class figure planned, but his...

Most of the production/writing crew from Beast Wars contributed to GI Joe Extreme as well. I also generally liked the episodes I saw as well. Although, the live action segments haven’t aged very well. As I’ve read and researched that era of Kenner/Hasbro…I’ve gained a mild appreciation for...

Aren’t they in two different lines on different release schedules? The case pack outs for the leader STILL don’t make a lick of sense. I mean, I get giving time for Skyquake to sell down before rolling out his retool, but… Couldn’t Hasbro have simply rolled the Refresh of Laser Prime into...

At least Galvatron will have plenty of company :p

In the show and comics, Snow Job routinely was depicted without his hood/cap. Like how in the cartoon, Wetsuit was often seen without his scuba helmet. Torpedo didn’t get a “non geared” head, so I concerned that would follow to Snow Job and possibly Wetsuit. The appearance of a “casual” head...

Some updated shipping breakdowns. Looks like we’re getting a batch of SS86 figures between the Beast waves https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/02/04/updated-wave-breakdowns-for-2023-legacy-evolution-studio-series-waves-3-4-475103

Core Voyager Optimus Prime and Rhinox have been spotted overseas! https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/02/04/first-look-at-transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-mainline-voyager-rhinox-and-optimus-prime-475075 Both seem to share engineering with prior releases (BB Movie Prime and Kingdom Rhinox...

Entertainment Earth is teasing an interesting drop on February 21, here's the hint: "Everything old is new again, the more things change the more they stay the same and something or another about the late Thag Simmons" Almost a guarantee that we'll be seeing a reveal for Studio Series Snarl...

Because I saw this front-paged at TFW... Entertainment Earth has a "Drop Zone" page which details when companies are planning to offer toys for preorder. JtPrime didn't find any sort of "secret listing". https://www.entertainmentearth.com/drop-zone Speculation is the February 28th drop will be...

Today was “GI joe Day”, I guess. In addition to the Skystriker unboxing, Hasbro revealed some production renders for some upcoming Classified products. Tele viper with Flight Pod (aka, Trubble Bubble). Hasbro took a novel approach here by covering the character’s arms, leaving the ethnicity...

If nothing else, Battletrap‘s Studio Series box positions him as a Decepticon. And if we get flashbacks in the film, I’d be SHOCKED if the seeker design from TF6 doesn’t reappear. There were…rumblings…a couple years back when first details were being leaked about Predacons, but really nothing...

At this point, I’d almost hazard that Hasbro is holding back any reveals of a new comic licensee until later in the year so that the new comics would come out next year to compliment the 40th anniversary. Got to use that marketing synergy to its fullest, y’know.
