As we saw with Volcanicus, the Legacy Stunticons are being packaged in an exclusive boxet for the Chinese market. These are exactly the same as the original releases in the same packaging but they are then packaged in a box that also comes with an enamel pin. The box and pin set are limited to the first 100 orders, however all 5 components of Menasor can still be ordered at once past the first 100 orders. They simply wont get the big box nor coin.

The G1 Starscream reissue in cartoon deco was found at a Walmart in California. Other fans have reported finding it in other Walmart stores, where it is an exclusive, while some fans also reported asking the staff about this item and being told it would only be available online. The photo below comes to us from Emmanuel who posted it in the Facebook group Transformers Botposting.
Apparently, Sgt. Slaughter, a good friend of Hasbro's, let it slip during a convention that his character would be in an upcoming Transformers GI Joe collaboration. The transforming vehicle would be the Triple T and it would come with a Sgt. Slaughter O-ring figure. This is all just a rumour, but it has been circulating around the internet, like in the video below, so we wanted to let you know. Let us know which Transformers character you think could be used for the Triple-T and if this is an item that could interest you.
For those wanting a look at Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Scourge's transformation (at least assumed transformation, since this is being done with no instruction sheet), a quick review was posted by Eyckzim, on youtube (aka Sonic Bomber Core). We see that a difference here from previous images is that the weapon placed in the back of the truck more closely resembles the detail on the live action truck. We also get a good sense of the articulation and complexity. Enjoy!
The upcoming Legacy Evolution Animated Prowl figure is getting a lot of attention since it is the first Animated toy to be "G1-ified", giving us a taste of what is to come in this line. We have comparisons to the original Animated Prowl figure showing that this new one has far more articulation and also an alt mode that is not as clean or cohesive. We also have a review. A fun new detail we learn through all this is that like with G1 Wreack Gar, this Prowl's head is also the motorcycle dashboard. The images come to us from Michael A and Sean H, who posted them on Transformers Botposting, and the review comes from PrimevsPrime.
We have more promotional images from the Taronga zoo featuring a really clear look at the maximals in beast mode. Some are even on giant panels made for selfies to be shared across the internet, making it slightly odd that these images are not more widely released to the public as this does feel like a full blown marketing campaign. Another interesting point is that in terms of deco, the image of Airazor looks a lot more like the Studio Series toy than the initial toy we had seen. That CG image of Airazor could very well be one of the assets Hasbro was given when working on the Studio Series toy. It's still to be seen, if this is the same look the character will have in the film itself. These images come from firebreaker_customs on Instagram.
It's been a long ride, but the end is starting to come into sight. Takara Tomy has finally revealed Masterpiece G MPG-05 Seizan, Raiden's right arm man. Thanks to listing on both Takara Tomy Mall and Amazon Japan and Seibertronian o.supreme in the forums we get our first clear look at the beige train and all his features including two Raiden Cannons, a Brain Laser gun and Raiden's giant Light Sword as well as more tracks. The Japanese tax inclusive price is 22,000JPY while the current Amazon Japan price that many of us will be using is currently at 21,997JPY (about US $169), but that will definitely drop in the coming days. Seizan is expected to ship in September, then we'll only have MPG-06 Kaen left.
Thanks again to Sonic Bomber-Core for giving us more images of Rise of the Beasts Scourge. When first shown yesterday, some fans were not sure if this toy was worth the leader class price point but now we can see that he at least fits the bill in terms of size. He is taller than the voyager class figures like AOE Galvatron and towers over deluxe class figures like the upcoming Bumblebee. We also see a shot of the vehicle mode without the weapons affixed to it, which does give it a much cleaner look. We also included an image of the truck used in the film for you to compare with. Let us know what you think.
Pretty big news in for Transformers toys fans, we now have great shots of the upcoming Studio Series Leader Rise of the Beasts Scourge figure. He and Primal will be the only leader class toys from the film. We see him in his truck mode an robot mode at a variety of angles and great close ups of his head. His left arm can change configuration while his right arm has a giant blade affixed to the forearm that can be held.
