Part of the new direction that the Hasbro Transformers brand team is taking on the international stage, we have news that the team will be present at Comic Con Paris 2018 ( taking place in the French capital on October 26-28, official site here ). Along with the entirety of the event's programme, the source specifically points out that 'for toy collectors, [there will be] a Hasbro booth with new releases and lines from Star Wars Black Series, Marvel, Venom, Transformers and Bumblebee. And a panel where some exclusives will be revealed.'

While we do not know whether said exclusives are for the Bumblebee Movie, or any of the Transformers lines (such as War For Cybertron Siege, and those elusive Decepticons), this may be of interest to any fan thinking of taking part in the convention next month! We will make sure to update you all on any new reveals pertinent to our robot interests, of course, so stay tuned to Seibertron.com.

We've got some interesting rumours now for Bumblebee: The Movie. Thanks to blog, Discussing Film, we've learned that possibly the movie not just opens on Cybertron, but will also feature several classic bots as well! The rumours also go further and say that these will feature cgi models that resemble their G1 looks. A few names are also hinted at, fan favourite names at that. These are Shockwave, Soundwave and Cliffjumper.

Take everything with a pinch of salt though, as anything could change. To fully be certain, we'll just have to watch the film when it debuts on December 21st this year!

Here is one snippet from the article.

So what iconic transformers can you expect to see in 'Bumblebee'? Fans will have a fun time scanning the battlefields on Cybertron for many instantly recognisable characters. Three that stand out in the film are Soundwave, Shockwave and Cliffjumper. Note that these are only brief cameos and most of them are not speaking roles

The article aslo points out how they will potentially look in the movie, but again this is not confirmed.

Fans of Transformer’s “Generation 1” will be pleased for the film will showcase many iconic autobots and decepticons- all which sport designs identical to their 1980s cartoon counterparts

What do you make of these rumours? Let us know in the comments below!

Rumoured Leader Shockwave and Decepticon Listings in Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege Wave 1

One of the biggest talking points, after the initial reveal of the War for Cybertron Siege toys from San Diego Comic Con 2018, was what wasn't shown in any of the documentation, presentations or actual displays: the Decepticons.

Now that distributors such as Entertainment Earth and Diamond are sending out their orders listings for stores for this fall, however, we have more than just a hint towards the purple faction showing up as early as wave 1. Fellow Seibertronian Samsonator contacted us to let us know the following:

My workplace just out through orders for our first shipments of War For Cybertron: Siege figures. Included in the Leader Class assortment was a listing for Leader Class Shockwave. I didn't see this info myself so I can not confirm it, but the biggest Shockwave fan in the store did the ordering, so he knows what he's talking about. So for now, I will say this is a rumour.

The store I work for is an independently owned collectibles store, but the cases we order are the same as regular big box retailers. The listings were all by name, and mostly what we've seen already, except for a few (Voyager Class "M", presumably Megatron, Deluxe "S", possibly Sixgun (since Starscream was previously listed as a voyager), Leader Class "G", maybe a Galvatron?) but Shockwave was identified by name in the Leader Class assortment

We did some digging, and the rumour may appear to be indeed founded, with wave 1 supposedly including: Battle Masters Blowpipe, Lionizer and Firedrive; Micro Masters Race Car Patrol, Battle Patrol, Airstrike Patrol; Deluxes Sideswipe, Deluxe S (starscream?), Cog, Hound; Voyagers Optimus Prime and M (megatron?); Leaders Ultra Magnus and, here he is, Shockwave. Take this with a pinch of salt until a full reveal from Hasbro and/or corroboration from another source, but in the meantime, feel free to join the speculation in the Energon Pub!

Further Proof of Voyager Megatron and Starscream Coming to the Transformers Siege Line

Last week's SDCC 2018 revealed the Transformers War for Cybertron Siege line which is made up of G1 characters and tells the narrative of their days fighting on Cybertron before coming to earth. Only Autobots were revealed, with more Autobots hinted at, but what about the Decepticons? Will it only be Autobots on the shelves for a while? Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Jelze Goldrabbit, we are much closer to believing that no, we will indeed be getting Decepticons and rather early in the line.

Now that we can match the revealed toys with previous listings found on Amazon, we can look at which other characters have a similar item code and thus match them with the correct line. None of this is for certain, but as of now, it's the best we can do. The prices below are in Australian dollars and they show the (possible) line up for Battle Masters, deluxes, voyagers and the leader (Ultra Magnus, who we already know). The big news here is that we are indeed getting a voyager Megatron to go with the voyager Optimus. While his product number is closest to Optimus', the number order is never the best indicator to what wave mates would be (especially since there are often single voyagers per waves or repacks). The other voyager we see for the line is Starscream, meaning that the seekers in this line will be voyager class. This goes in line with what Hasbro had said where robot mode scale would be key and fans have often stated that Seekers should be voyager class rather than deluxe class.

The Battle Master class listings never had names so we still do not know who we are getting aside from Firedrive and Lionizer and the only new deluxe we know is coming is Prowl, who was on the Siege Poster.

Leader Ultra Magnus (E3479, AUD 74.71, Release Date 12/01/2018)

Deluxe WFC-S10 Sideswipe E3520
Deluxe Cog (E3536, AUD 29.88, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Deluxe Hound (E3537, AUD 29.88, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Deluxe Ironhide (E3538, AUD 29.88, Release Date 04/01/2019)
Deluxe Prowl (E3540, AUD 29.88, Release Date 04/01/2019)

Voyager Optimus Prime (E3541, AUD 44.82, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Voyager Megatron (E3543, AUD 44.82, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Voyager Starscream (E3544, AUD 44.82, Release Date 12/01/2018)

Battle Masters WFC-S1 Firedrive E3550
Race Car (E3557, AUD 14.93, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Battle (E3558 , AUD 14.93, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Airstrike (E3560, AUD 14.93, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Spy (E3561, AUD 14.93, Release Date 12/01/2018)
Rescue (E3562 , AUD 14.91, Release Date 12/01/2018)

More Intriguing Transformers Listings on Amazon Australia

After yesterday's news from Amazon Australia - about the Micromaster named listings, which you can check again here - fellow Seibertronian DELTA_prime has sent us another link to the online retailer with several new intriguing names showing up. Fellow staff member Burn suggests that the possible reason for these appearing on Amazon AU before US, is because now that Australia is geo-blocked from Amazon US, and these are being shipped and sold from Amazon US, they might be trying to work out how much stock they need for Australian customers.

As for the figures themselves, there seem to be listings for a new Megatron, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Jetfire, Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Prowl, Drift, Barricade, Thundercracker, Drift, Springer and Starscream - though these may in fact all be part of the Cyberverse line, as initially posted here.

Then we have entries for characters names Cog, Sixgun, Crankcase, and Shockwave at what seems to be a leader scale price. With the Battle Masters revealed for War for Cybertron, and more Micromaster team names, might this be the base and sixchangers? Or possible remolds from pre-existing Metroplex, Fortress Maximus, Sixshot?

And finally, we have listings for items called Infantry, Red Lightning, Rockhounds, Greenjackets and Rockducks - around the same price point as the Voyager Siege Optimus Prime from the previous news story, but again, the actual contents are to be determined. Browse through the listings in this story, and join the speculation in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

We also have another series of unknown listings over on online retailer Amazon, and specifically its Australian site, for some upcoming Transformers figures and sets that we might end up seeing in person at San Diego Comic Con 2018 next week, and apparently due by December 2018.

This second batch is only listed by its initial part of the name, bar one, which lends itself to some severe speculation: "Rescue“, “Battle“, “Airstrike“, “Spy“, “Sports Car“, “Race Car“, and "Off Road Patrol". If those names sound familiar, it's because all but 'Spy' were the names of the Micromaster Patrols from the late 1980s/early 1990s toyline! Check out the listings below, and let us know what your speculation brings you in the Energon Pub discussion boards.

According to the social media accounts for Hasbro Transformers, as pointed out by fellow Seibertronian TFanPage101 via email notification, there is news actually awaiting fans at next week's San Diego Comic Con 2018, including the full reveal of the teaser image below.

What seems to be shown is the silhouette of an Optimus Prime recognisable figure, with smokestacks on its shoulders and an axe and a gun in its hands, and an indication to follow the Hasbro Pulse newsletters and accounts for more information during the event - but we know that the best content will be on our front page as soon as images are allowed to be posted, so stay tuned, and in the meantime, speculate away on this new figure! Is it War for Cybertron, another exclusive, part of those Amazon listings, or something else entirely?
