RED ALERT #StudioSeries Deluxe
#Transformers #NYCC2026

From the @Hasbro Press and Creator Showcase display at New York Comic Con! This was my first look at the figure in-person and I really like what I see. It looks large for a Deluxe. Mark had a lot to say about design challenges of this figure - joking about how he had to “hold back” when working with タカラトミー design teams engineering the design. Of course, in going for a G1 cartoon esthetic, there needs to be a lot less techno-detailing than what we’re accustomed to seeing and Mark in designing as compared with Generations figures like the 13 Primes (LOADED with details), for example!

I love what they achieved here, as it brings out the “Masterpiece” look, in a very handlable Deluxe scale toy. I hope and expect fan reaction to be strong and positive, so they keep this look going with more of the G1 originals!

SCORN - Age of Extinction #StudioSeries Titan Class
#Transformers #NYCC2026

From the @Hasbro Press and Creator Showcase display at New York Comic Con! This was my first look at him in scale. It still leaves me wondering where in the world am I going to put four of these giant things (?!🤯🤷‍♂️) When the assortment of “Dinobots” is complete?! 🤣

🤣🤣 The Hasbro toy display New York Comic Con originally had these weird purple light table displays, which shined from the bottom up, illuminating the toys and shining directly into the camera lens. This totally threw off all auto light balance and color correction tools in my camera — making most of my first round of toy pictures look quite awful!

Fortunately, Mark saved the day. I inquired whether he could get those lights turned off and he came through! Subsequent photos turned out much better! 🤣🤣

MPG-25 Style Gen Megatron

New images also via Japanese site Hobby Watch. Loosely translated Japanese:
“Takara Tomy’s high-target hobby label “T-SPARK” is exhibiting the new “Transformers” product at the event “The 64th All Japan Model Hobby Show”, which has been held since October 2.
At the company’s booth, a reference exhibition of “MPG-28 Megatron Style Gen” from the MPG series was held. It is equipped with a fusion canon of the arm with a massive style and size, and various weapons are mounted on the back. And the vehicle mode tank form is also on display.”

G1 Headmaster Arcee #Transformers タカラトミー Missing Link

I cannot think of a more perfect application for Takara’s fan favorite Missing Link series than this! So many fans (one in particular Headmaster ! In particular! 😜) have been clamoring for this for YEARS!
Diecast parts, 80’s esthetics and modern joints/pose-ability … how could we ask for more?! The new partial/re-tool of the earlier ML Arcee includes a Headmaster figure that transforms into TFTM human Exo-suit!

Well done and bravo TT! 👏

Erik with ToyRobot Magazine

Today was going to be a write-up on the AotP Bruticus, but I happened upon a display case of the Transformers Vaultz Big Heads figures. I haven't seen these before in my area, so I was excited to encounter a nearly full case containing 15 out of 16 boxes.

These are made by World Tech Toys and licensed under the generic "Transformers Evergreen" branding, which is often used for non-toy merchandise and third-party novelties like these. They all feature a minimalist red Transformers logo, white backdrops, and Cyberverse-styled character designs. Personally, after 10 years of this branding, I wouldn't be opposed to licensing partners being given a bit more leeway with their designs, or even seeing a brand-new style guide for Evergreen products.

This set comes in a very cool, ultra-sturdy display box that features a window showcasing Optimus Prime and holds 16 blind boxes. Each individual blind box is wrapped with a thin paper slip that shows off the full checklist. The case itself is an easy-to-open cube with a futuristic aesthetic, featuring the Autobot and Decepticon logos on opposite sides. I really like this display and the boxes; they are clean, look great, and are incredibly easy to open (looking at you, Blokees).

Inside each box is a neat surprise that isn't advertised anywhere on the packaging. Along with the figure, you get a nice little checklist catalog showing detailed pictures of the lineup, a vacuformed 3D sticker of the character, and a trading card. Interestingly, two of my boxes had an extra card, and one included an extra sticker.

However, I can tell you that the case distribution kind of stinks. Out of the 15 blind boxes I opened, I pulled only 8 unique figures and hit 7 duplicates (three extra Megatrons, two Shockwaves, one Wheeljack, and one Soundwave). On the bright side, I did manage to pull one chase figure from this batch: the Glow-in-the-Dark Optimus Prime.
The chibi-style figures with oversized heads are decently made. The full 16-character lineup includes:

* Commons: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Elita-1, Soundwave, Wheeljack, Barricade, Windblade, Shockwave, Ratchet, and Grimlock.
* Chases: Fallen Leader Optimus Prime, Gold Lagoon Bumblebee, GitD Optimus Prime, and GitD Megatron.

Good luck hunting all of these down! Based on some rough math, you would likely need to buy somewhere in the realm of 5 to 9 cases to secure a complete set. The biggest bottleneck is the assumption of one chase figure per case, and who knows what the actual factory distribution is on those variants.

Overall, for $5 a pop, these are an incredible find and far better than other blind-box figures we've seen in the past. The 3D stickers are a great touch, and the trading cards look amazing. The figures themselves are clean for the most part and look great on a shelf. Just be aware that on the secondary market, opened commons are already going for $10 to $15—the tax you pay for getting the exact character you want. Meanwhile, the chase figures seem to command between $20 and $40, with Fallen Leader Optimus and Gold Lagoon Bumblebee fetching a bit more than the GitD Prime or Megatron.

AI has been used to edit some pictures*

If you haven't had your ear to the ground, Dan Gilvezan, the original voice actor for Bumblebee, was left out of the recent Optimus Prime short, even though other legacy actors were brought back. There is now a fan petition to get Hasbro to include all legacy voice actors when doing G1 era projects.

So we though we'd share this petition (link down below in the comments).

We had our very first GtT that stumped everyone! I rally thought a ultra die-hard would have looked at the hands and chunky form and gotten it.

The answer to GtT #5 was: Dairy Queen Optimus Prime!

A very obscure promo that few remember. I liove how the smokestacks are facing forward as weapons.

We had several people guess Thunderclash/MW Prime and that was a hell of a good guess. I can see where people would have thought that.

again, if you like this sort of post, let us know and we can share these here as well, otherwise check out ToyRobot Magazine for more.

Erik at ToyRobot Magazine and we've introduced a new series of posts: Guess that Transformer!

You can head over to our page to check it out or, if we get enough love on here, I might share them on Unicron's page as well; let us know below!

GtT #5 is a bit of a tough. It seems obvious until you start looking at the details!

#OptimusPrime AWAKENING #Transformers

We want to hear from you. Share your thoughts in the <SPOILER ALERT!!!> comments!

Just as we were there, in theaters on the original opening night of Transformers The Movie in 1986 … We wanted to be in the company of other fans to share the experience for one more, bittersweet opening night. Many more showings over the weekend we hope to hear from you as you collect your thoughts on this 40th Anniversary screening and the new end credit scene.

The opening tribute to Peter Cullen, playing before the movie began was epic. Brought tears to my eyes and made the experience of seeing the film again that much more poignant and wonderful. Rest in peace Mr Cullen. Thank you for being respectful and worthy of the hero character of my youth.

Awakening
<SPOILERS BELOW!>

Animation was stunning and gorgeous.

Music and sound … of course Cullen’s OP battling Welker’s Megs. … one final time 🔥🔥🔥🔥 pure nostalgia and joy.

Official nods to Transformers “multiverse” and alternate realities was unexpected and heartwarming.

Regarding Decepticon Bumblebee… So are we to understand that this is depicting Optimus Prime’s worst nightmare in the afterlife? … i’m not quite sure what to make of this.

The ending - what’s the lesson Optimus is supposed to learn here? He must let go? Move on? Is it Megatron’s turn to inherit the Matrix?! Is there a “next” chapter coming?

That moment - where OP moves to the light and says a final line … wow. So many questions! I need to see it again… MORE PLEASE! #transformers #optimusprime

Sentinel Prime: predecessor to Optimus and in most universes, his bane! #Transformers

All the way down to his 🤯 crazy alt mode, the new Age of the Primes figure is based on his appearance in “Megatron Origins” by Eric Holmes and Alex Milne published by IDW comics in 2007. I dig that TF brand/design team is drawing from IDW comic universe. So much rich lore to tap from! Hope they keep this going!

It’s easy to imagine a plot by Sentinel to acquire the relics of the original 13 Primes, consolidating them into this golden monument. This addition to the figure/set for the is really well done, with paint wash detailing making it look weathered and ancient. Bravo 🙌

A significant partial (retool) of the fan fav Tarn mold, he makes a great addition to my shelf of the Primes!

Hey guys, with millions upon millions of views and hundreds of thousands of comments, we rarely ban or block members. This has always been a free place to express yourself, joke around, and debate Transformers.

BUT there are exceptions!

We recently had to hand out a permanent block to a user after a string of comments that were continuously vulgar, hate-filled, and juvenile. We crossed out the name to keep the focus on the behavior, but this kind of attitude (shown below) was their third strike, and they are officially out of here. We want to keep this community fun, respectful, and safe for everyone.

To the rest of you wonderful followers, thank you for making this page awesome. Stay tuned—I think it might be time for a giveaway soon! 🎁
