Greetings Seibertronians! Fans of the Transformers Studio Series line have I got some interesting news for you! Fellow Seibertron user, Cyberpath, has pointed us in the direction to regular news source Loopaza's Facebook Account, has released a screenshot of newlistings.
Of the five, only one MPM 09 Autobot Jazz isn't Studio Series. The others are three Deluxe Classes and one Voyager Class, which is Constructicon Mixmaster. The three Deluxes are completely unknown, but one is another Bumblebee, though unknown what Alt it will have. The other two, is Soundwave and Lazerbeak. Lazerbeaks incursion probably labels this as the Dark of the Moon version.
More interesting though is the listing for the Arcee Triplets from Revenge of the Fallen.
These appear to be sold as one set under the deluxe price which means they'll be among the smallest transformers in the line. In the movie these were supposed to be able to combine but the feature was cut from the film and two of the three sisters were redecos of each other in the Revenge of the Fallen toyline, rendering the ability incomplete. Time will tell if these releases are able to combine or not.
How do you feel about this news? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews, including explosive reveals from SDCC 2019!
There's some rumblings on line and it's not from this Destitution Class behemoth trouncing around Cybertron's surface. Thanks to fellow Seibertronians D-Maximal Prime with help from Sabrblade we've learned the word is that Transformers (possibly Siege, possibly not despite those blast effect pegs on his big mug) Unicron is going to be available in Japan through the TakaraTomy Mall!
The original post was found at Autobase Aichi on Twitter:
"Wonder Festival 2019 summer Takara Tomy Transformers booth information.
The Wonder Festival 2019 Summer Takara Tomy Transformers Booth, which will be held at Makuhari Messe on Sunday, July 28, 2019, will be full of content!
7/24 (Wed) Blue-ray & DVD will be released from the movie "Bumblebee" corner, The "Masterpiece Rio Convoy", which was announced at the toy show the other day, and became a topic, "Legacy TV-kun," We are planning to exhibit the contents of the group's crowdfunding program!
In addition, we will exhibit Hasbro's global crowdfunding program "HASLAB Uniclon" just announced!
In addition, we will exhibit the latest products of SS, SIEGE and Generation Select."
Global crowd funding you say? This would seem to indicate outside of North America. From further into the announcement which is also the translated text from the image above:
"Hasbro's global crowdfunding plan just announced It will be decided to sell "HASLAB UNICLON" in Japan at Takara Tomy Mall!
We plan to start bookings by the 1st festival day.
On this occasion, it was decided to decorate the prototype at the one-fest venue.
Please check the huge transformers of unmatched size in the past by yourself.
Thank you for your support of crowdfunding!"
And in an update just this morning from Snakasblog: "7/17 addition : According to the one fess announcement of TAKARATOMY TF official site, there seems to be handling at TAKARATOMY mall in Japan. I think that this sales method is also probably crowdfunding, but there is a statement with reservation start soon."
Now whether this is an opening for crowdfunding, or just a statement that if approved it will also be available in Japan (possibly elsewhere in the world too) is yet to be seen.
*Correction - To clarify this story Takara IS taking orders for this item just like Hasbro is.*
We provide the posts from these various translated sources and ask you to decide. Let us know in the forums and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest Transformers news!
With Galactic Man Shockwave coming out, a recent list of rumours has just been made a bit more credible.
So, while nothing should be taken as fact until we have solid proof, here is a round up of upcoming redeco'd toys from the Siege line that are rumoured to come out. The initial post for this rumour also states that these are a exclusives of some sort, akin to every other redeco exclusive we are seeing in the Siege line.
List of Deluxe redeco toys:
- Cybertron Hot Shot which is repaint of Hound but features accurate headsculpt (the photo below is a digibash by Air Hammer)
- G1 Toy color special package Refractor , this time came in a special package mimic a real world digital camera box set. Has extra accessories like a flash, a lens and button pad to make camera mode super accurate to real life model. 3 robots will sport a toy deco. This rumour is in line with an image of the camera mode found on Refactor's packaging
- Nightbird , repaint of Chromia , with new headsculpt
- Powerdasher , repaint of Brunt , with new headsculpt
- Decepticon Impactor which feature different deco compared to the retail autobot release
New Micromaster 10-packs which are all redecos of the ones already found at retail
Leader Shockwave in Galacticman Deco , full black shockwave (this rumour was spread online earlier this week and we now know this particular part to be true)
Thanks to TFW2005 member chuckcjc we have a report of a variant, or painting/assembly accident with Transformers Siege Blackjack. Apparently he found a Hyperdrive Blackjack two-pack where Blackjack is not a remold, but rather a direct repaint of Autobot Swindler. Check out the images below to scope out the difference. Make sure to let us know if you happen to spot any Blackjacks that are in fact Swindler in disguise and maybe we can verify if this is some form of production error or an actual variant. As always share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forums.
Good morning and happy Monday Seibertronians have we ever got a sweet slice of Siege news to start your day off right! Thanks to Seibertronian Nexus Knight via Facebook member DaimChocReports we have some images of the upcoming Transformers War For Cybertron: Siege Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce Multi-Pack featuring Covert Clone (G2 Sideswipe), Slamdance (Grand Slam and Raindance) and Battlemaster Trenchfoot (The Aimless mold). This appears to be the side package art featured on all Siege boxes and card backs along with the splash shot of all the characters on the back.
Covert clone? Could this be some veiled reference to Sideswipe's pseudo-reincarnation as a new protoform from the IDW books? Are you feeling ok with Slamdance being a little topsy turvy in this incarnation? Is Trenchfoot really an ideal name for a Targetmaster and does he over compensate with his blast effects? All questions we're likely to clamor over as this item's release approaches.
As always take a peruse and share your views with the Seibertron crew in the forum!
Seibertronians, transform, and Roll Out! It's time to gas up your rides and head out to your local Wal-Marts folks because we are getting reports from across the map of these long awaited bots hitting the shops. We'd previously reported on sightings at Meijer's, Target, and Wal-Mart here and here but we have received word that the new wave has hit wider retail by being found in Wal-Marts in Alabama, Texas, California, Maryland, and Ohio! There doesn't appear to be a pattern here so all we can say is best of luck and happy hunting out there.
As always share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forums and tell us what you find! Please be sure to update your local sighting forum specifically to let your neighbors know where to go.
He's got better things to do tonight than die...like hang out in Maryland Wal-Marts! That's right folks just in from Rocky Fon Leard on Cybertron Cafe facebook group is an image of what appears to be a Wal-Mart with a case worth of Springers...ok that's two Springers but you get my general drift. Unfortunately there was no word provided on any other size classes they may have seen from this same highly expected wave.
Take a look around at your local Wal-Marts gang and if you happen to pick one up please be sure to hop onto our sightings section to report where the new wave is creeping up. Happy hunting everyone!
Thanks to news member William-James we have a heads up on some new listing information for the World's Smallest editions of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Power Rangers.
The first part of this story is the listing for the World's Smallest Transformers over at DeepDiscount.com. It appears listed as World's Coolest Transformers but is specified as World's Smallest Transformers with the current details:
Brand: Worlds Smallest
UPC: 810010990204
Item #: 2162551X
Available Date: 7/31/2019
Model Number: 587
List price $13.00
Then over at TheToyBook.com we have some nice images of the upcoming products from each of the above mentioned properties. The article states from Transformers we can expect Optimus Prime, Starscream, and Bumblebee. From G.I. Joe we'll be getting Snake Eyes, Duke, and Roadblock.
Although there's not specifics on which Power Rangers we will see the image provided does show the Yellow and Pink Rangers from the original U.S. series along with a note about the card backs listing product name placeholders. The card back itself appears to be from the Ninja Steel line of Power Rangers. Although not clear on all images, the power ranger image in the foreground does specify these as key-chain action figures.
Each of these will be an articulated figure on reproduction card backs, which for Transformer fans will no doubt be a big part of the appeal.
Enjoy the images and as always share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forums!
Thanks to BB7 Toys at Facebook here are some new images of the officially licensed Transformers 3D Metal Puzzles by Shangai Art Model.
These officially licensed models are made from ultra thin laser-cut sheet metal pieces assembling into a larger metal object 11-18cm long. You know, basically knives.
Using a simple tab-into-slot assembly process these models assemble with no glue, but do require a wealth of patience.
From this staffer's personal experience all you need is a little determination, an electron microscope, a pair of Doctor Octopus assistance arms, a few adhesive medical strips (for yourself) and you too can find the joy of juggling small knives until they somehow assemble into awesome looking metal masterpieces.
There is no current information on their suggested retailer price or their release date, but the release wave will feature the following live-action characters in their vehicle forms:
Ironhide as a GMC Topkick 4500 truck from Transformers 2007.
Sentinel Prime as a Rosenhauer Panther Firetruck from Dark Of The Moon.
Bumblebee in his Chevrolet Camaro Concept from 2017's The Last Knight.
Hound as a Mercedes Unimog tactical vehicle also from The Last Knight.
Hot Rod in his Lamborghini Centenario body from The Last Knight.
And Optimus Prime as a Peterbilt 379 Truck from Transformers 2007.
Check out the images below and share your own tales of woe (or joy) when assembling these mini metal models.
According to a new article from Comicbook.com some customers who received their Transformers Bumblebee 4K Ultra HD DVD's have been reporting audio sync issues where the sound is not matching the picture. Paramount has received enough complaints to issue a formal statement which follows:
"In response to Bumblebee UHD’s picture and audio sync issues being observed on some playback platforms, we have determined we can tighten their alignment to remedy the audio sync lag issue. Audio sync lag was observed primarily with the English ATMOS track, but we are addressing all the audio tracks on the disc regardless. The majority of consumers may never notice the sync issue, but unfortunately, the audio sync lag is exacerbated by viewing the film via the “ARC” (Audio Return Channel) port on TVs that output to a sound-bar or receiver. Compliance amongst TV manufacturer ARC implementation is not standardized, thus different set-ups will exhibit different and varying playback behavior, even if played back on the same set-up multiple times. A replacement disc is already ready that will align the picture and audio sync better, but do note, it still may not remedy all the ARC playback set-ups in the market – we suggest consulting your manufacturer’s documentation on how to align picture and audio sync if still experiencing lag."
The article further states that faulty DVD's are encouraged to include their shipping information and mail their defective UHD discs to the below address to receive the replacement disc free of charge.
