Toys and Figurines Hasbro Pulse is Ready to Make Heads Spin Ahead of Transformers Tuesday

Hasbro Pulse is ready to make fans' heads spin as they prepare a little -- or rather, a big Tryp down memory lane ahead of tomorrow's Transformers Tuesday showcase.

For starters, the recently-announced Transformers: Age of the Primes version of Titan Class Trypticon will be available for pre-order beginning tomorrow, January 14th. This mold was first released back in 2017 as part of the Titans Return line, but will now be available in a more cartoon-accurate color scheme, versus the more toy-oriented deco of the original.

More surprising is the reveal of a new 2-pack under the Age of the Primes banner, featuring new versions of Spinister and Topspin. Spinister is the War for Cybertron: Siege mold, and not only arrives in more comic-accurate colors, but also with his previously MIA Targetmaster partners, Hairsplitter and Singe in tow!

Meanwhile, the Titans Return Topspin mold is decked out to match his Jumpstarter and Wrecker partner Twin Twist's Amazon-exclusive Legacy figure from the Wreck N' Rule Collection, utilizing a Diaclone color scheme. And for the lore nuts out there (or maybe this is just branding), he still comes with Freezeout, but now, rather than being referred to as a "Titan Master," he's been officially dubbed a Headmaster! Head On!

According to Hasbro Pulse, with regards to the 2-pack:

Hasbro Pulse Premium members will enjoy an exclusive pre-order window from 1–2pm ET, and pre-orders open for everyone starting at 2:00pm ET. Limited quantities will also be available on #HasbroPulse.

And finally, this whole batch of Studio Series figures will go up tomorrow as well:

- Leader Class Optimus Prime (Transformers: Age of Extinction)
- Leader Class Shockwave (Transformers: Dark of the Moon)
- Voyager Class Ironhide (Transformers: War for Cybertron)
- Deluxe Class Wheeljack (Que) (Transformers: Dark of the Moon)
- Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz (Transformers: The Transformers: The Movie, 1986)
- Deluxe Class Optimus Prime (Transformers: Devastation)

The whole lot of these (and more?) will be a part of the Transformers Product Showcase on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube Channel at 1pm EST. These will all open for pre-order at the same time the show starts, except the 2-pack, for which you'll have to be a Premium member in order to put your money down before 2pm EST.

Eager to get your hands on these new toys and variants? Frustrated because your Premium membership just affords you a new opportunity to miss out as scalpers swoop in? Shout all about it in the comments below!

Wow. Not sure I need another Spinister, but damn if those colors aren't cool.

I'm just interested in GE Ironhide if I ever see Ratchet on sale to pair with, and DOTM Shockwave which, like a lot of people, missed the initial release. Never seen it at retail during the pandemic distribution chaos period. I thought of going the KO route for months and moths, but reviewers seem to say it's a floppy, low-quality mess so I held off, never wanted a KO if I don't absolutely have to.

But with Leader prices now, and that I'm really OK with my customized original, I'll probably get the new one on sale instead of a PO.

TLK OP got better wrist & feet articulations and better painted chests, but everything else seems worse than the OG. For that Leader money, I'd rather shell out a bit more and go for Yolopark AMK.

Little interest for the others, though that Spinister is NICE, but can't afford to double dip on the same character for the same mold.
