We all had a good laugh at the terribly proportioned Optimus Prime statue from Lootcrate a few months back. Well, the good folks there didn't want the fun to end there so now they are bringing that style to the Beas era. To celebrate the 25th anniversary, they are giving us a Beast Wars Megatron in the very same vein. You'll let us know what you think and if you'll pick it up. Remember, loot boxes that are not sold will be shredded and stuck in a landfill, as can be seen in the video here.

You can grab it here on November 21st.

It was just yesterday that we got an official reveal of the first set in the Amazon exclusive Golden Disk subline of the Kingdom toyline, in the form of Puffer and Road Ranger. But today, we get another reveal. Feast your optics on Jackpot and Sights! Jackpot is an Action Master from 1990, and Sights is his partner/Targetmaster. This marks the first true update for this character in 31 years, though his Transformers Animated counterpart did have a figure in the Transformers Subscription Service.

Much like that Animated counterpart, this Jackpot is also based on a previously released figure of Jazz, redecoed and with a new head sculpt, specifically, Studio Series Jazz. Sights, while retaining a flying robot mode, switches from being a bird to being a redeco of Siege Pteraxodon. The description notes that while being caught up in the same time vortex that Road Ranger and Puffer were, it gave Jackpot the ability to transform, which Action Masters never did.






















Jackpot and Sights are due in early March of 2022, and you can preorder them at Amazon by clicking any picture of them above, and though their listing at Hasbro Pulse is up, it is currently sold out.

What do you think of this latest set? Excited to see an Action Master get some love? Surprised that this mold didn't get made into Ricochet first? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub Forums!

Transformers Kingdom Golden Disk Set 1 Revealed to be Puffer and Road Ranger

Thanks to several Seibertronians for sending in this news, we now have official confirmation and reveals of Kingdom Puffer and Road Ranger!

The description given with these two has some very interesting information. It says the Golden Disk has the power to reveal past, present, and future. In alternate timelines, the quantum surge that turned Beast Wars characters into Transmetals caught up Road Ranger from his timeline, specifically calling him out as a GoBot, and describes Pipes and Huffer being caught up in another wave of quantum energy and arriving on prehistoric Earth fused together as Puffer!















These two are coming in the first of four Golden Disk sets exclusive to Amazon, with the others yet to be revealed. This set can be preordered at Amazon now, but it's currently sold out on Hasbro Pulse, though it may be restocked at a later point, as Red Alert was.

What do you think of this set? Excited to get it? Going for more GoBots to show up in the Transformers line? Hoping for more highly obscure decos to show up as new toys? Let us know what you think by sounding off in the Energon Pub forums.

Thanks to a post on Twitter by user @Fc20364, we have photo proof that Studio Series Wave 13 has been found at retail in the U.S.! Jolt and his wavemates were found at a Walmart in Texas, though the exact location wasn't specified.



Though not shown in this picture, Gnaw is a new mold, and part of this Wave. Wave 13 also consists of ROTF Bumblebee, first released in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line; as well as a repack of Jazz.

Are you going to be on a lookout for the electrifying Autobot- especially now that he finally has a screen accurate head? Passing on this figure? Let us know in the Energon Pub forums!

Greetings Seibertronians!

Following on from our first look at the Dracula x Transformers crossover figure earlier today, Target has updated the reveal with the item page for Draculus!

Special thanks to fellow Seibertron users, AcademyofDrX and D-Maximal_Primal.

The listing also provides these new images for us to feast on of this unique addition to the ever growing Crossover range that started back in 2019 with the Ghostbusters x Transformers crossover figure, Ectotron.











As we can see, the figure is an extensive retool of Titans Returns Deluxe Class Mindwipe, and has had the Titan Master feature taken out. He also features a cloth cape that was an iconic part of the Dracula character on film.

The inner box that houses Draculus in package has also been designed to resemble a classic vhs.

The official write up for this figure is as follows:

Transformers Collaborative: Universal Monsters Dracula Mash-Up, Draculus

(Ages 8 and Up / Approx. Retail Price: $31.49 / Available: 10/1/2021)

Worlds collide in this TRANFORMERS-Dracula mash-up pack! The mysterious Count Dracula takes on a new form as a TRANSFORMERS robot, called DRACULUS. We are dealing with the undead…an undead DECEPTICON! DRACULUS rises from stasis under the cover of darkness and feeds on the ENERGON of the living. The DRACULUS figure is inspired by the vampire from the 1931 Universal Pictures film, Dracula. The figure stands at 5.5 inches, converts into bat mode in 23 steps, and features details inspired by the Dracula movie, including black and white deco inspired by the black and white movie release. DRACULUS also comes with cape, blaster, and Impaler claw accessories.

 

TRANSFORMERS robots have always been More Than Meets The Eye, but now, through the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger-than-life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality. DRACULUS is available exclusively at Target and for pre-order on Target.com beginning September 10, 2021 at 1:00PM EST with limited quantities on Pulse.com.

What do you think of this crossover figure?

Eager to see the other Universal Monsters given the same treatment?

Greetings Seibertronians!

Carrying on from the news that Target was hosting their Collectors Spot Fall Geek Out Event (where new Collectors toys are revealed every Friday from the 3rd of September till the first Friday in October), the 1Oth of September is finally here, and with it, a look at the two Transformer toys being revealed.

Special thanks to Seibertron user, Nemesis Primal, for bringing the update to our attention.





While we've already seen Road Rage, today is the day she becomes available to purchase.

The other figure though, the Dracula x Transformers crossover figure!

Sadly as of writing, Draculus's store page isn't online yet (rest assured, when it is, we'll bring you all the images and description of this figure). The figure is done in conjuction with the Universal Monsters characters, while the toy itself us a Titans Returns Deluxe Class Mindwipe retool. Until we see better images, it's unclear at the moment if he's a Titan master or not.

What do you think of this reveal? Do you want to see the other Monsters in the Universal line up to get the same treatment?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Our sponsor sites have images of the latest offering from the Diaclone line, Diaclone DA-85 Powered Greater. Now we don't cover the line at length but we did cover the release of Battle Convoy, which is a "remake" of the very same toy that we call G1 Optimus Prime. And this release is meant to combine with Battle Convoy to turns that into one unstoppable mecha. What's fun is one configuration looks a lot like the Optimus Wing Saber combo we had in the Cybertron line. You can see the images below.

The Diaclone DA-85 Power Greater is an armored machine that completely enhances all modes of the Battle Convoy V-Max (Sold Separately). Several different configurations of the Powerd Greater can be represented with this figure, and the opening and closing cockpits store the 1/60 scale, Diaclone pilots.

Target has begun their the Collector's Spot Fall Geek-Out event running from September 3 to October 3 where they'll be making new announcements every Friday across various collectibles lines. Transformers fans wont be waiting long as Target plans to hold a special event this coming Friday, September 10 just for us! There's no telling exactly what they'll reveal, most likely a new exclusive, but the first day held yesterday revealed a $50 Batman figure from McFarlane that also has an $80 signed variant (both of which sold out shortly after) made for New York Comic Con so the bar has already been set very high. That final day of the event in October also promises more reveals from Hasbro, though probably not Transformers specific.



It's anybody's guess and you can share yours in the Energon Pub forums!

Do any of you collect the G1 Transformers Hallmark ornaments. This little guy is going to be showing up across the US soon and if you are curious about him, well we have some in hand images. Shockwave is the latest in a set of Transformers G1 Christmas ornaments that's been going on for several years now. He looks incredibly faithful to the original toy, as most of them do. Jon 3.0 and xrotorstormx sent us some in hand photos.

Masterpiece Crosscut Revealed and Additional Picture of Masterpiece Nightbird

Thanks to our own D-Maximal_Primal, we've been alerted to a post from Autobase Aichi on Facebook. A reliable source in the past, they revealed a single picture each of Masterpiece figures, those of Crosscut (a redeco of MP Reboost), and Nightbird,a retool and redeco of MP Arcee.

Crosscut was originally released as a redeco and retool of G1 Skids in 2002, in a set with G1 Road Rage. This reveal shows him to be a faithful update to that figure, with the Diaclone style head that Reboost has.




We also have a clearer image of the upcoming MP-55 Nightbird. She's wielding a sword which has its origin with Generations Arcee from 2014. Takara did their own version of Nightbird from that mold, and while including its own sai weapons, it also included yellow versions of Generations Arcee's swords, which this Masterpiece version recreates here.



While there's no word on when they're going to be released, it's nice to see more images of these figures, especially Crosscut, who most people figured would be the natural first retool of MP Skids.

So what do you think of these two, Seibertronians? Excited to add another couple of Masterpiece figures to your collection? Let us know what you think of these two below, and stay tuned for all the latest news and reviews!
