Hasbro has given us another update on the making of Victory Saber. this one shows the tooling involved for some of the red plastic. This is the mold that will be used over and over again to give the plastic it's shape and the image gives us an idea of how massive it is.

“As you can see from these images, the tools for Victory Saber are being prepped. Tools are giant slabs of steel, sculpted with laser etching to cut piece cavities in the molds. At this point in the process, tools will be polished and cleaned in order to make sure all of the pieces come out of the molds intact.

When we lay out molds, we group by what colors each piece is needed to be molded in. The mold pictured is for one of the red molds, and all of these red pieces will be part of the V-Star Jet, Autobot Saber, and the merged Star Saber figure.”

Ratchet was a great addition to the Rescue Bots cast in the Rescue Bots Academy spinoff so it's nice to see a new toy for him getting released for young kids. While his mold is based on the Medix transformation he has a nice new headsculpt. We also have news of a new Heatwave toy coming from the same line. This Heatwave turns into a plane. All the images come from e-bay where these new toys can currently be purchased.

Bad news for Canadians who shop at Toys R Us. The prices for Transformers have just significantly increased. The current Covid panic mixed with the shortage of workers and so many other factors are to blame. Most Transformers are now way more expensive than before. Here's some examples:

Deluxes like Origin Bumblebee are now 37$can. Formerly 33$can, formerly 30$can.



Leaders like the overproduced SS Scavenger and Overload are now 80$can. Formerly 75$can, formerly 70$can.



The recent Draculus now jumped to 80$can. formerly 75$can.



Ectotron and X-Pense had their price increased again in such a short while. Now a whopping 100$can. Formerly 95$can, formerly 90$can.



Not pictured, the Buzzworthy Bumblebee 4 pack that is the "Transformers starter pack for kids" that have the Warrior Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream, has jumped from 80$can to 90$cn. Oddly enough, the highly collectible Buzzworthy Bumblebee 4 pack containing Nemesis Primal, Fangry, Bumblebee, and Blackarachnia remains at the highly affordable 120$can without having it's price even increased. Also, it's still in stock on the shelves.
Edit: That 4 pack too, had it's price increased twice. Originally 110$can, then 115$can, now 120$can. Ironically, it's still a reasonable price for what we get.

All these price increases on such a short notice are very concerning. The inflation is getting out of control.

Are the prices in your corner of the world going up as if they want to launch into space too? Let us know!

You may have already seen this on our front page from our site sponsors, but in case you missed it the latest character to get the Furai Model treatment from Flame Toys is Acid Storm! While this isn't a huge surprise, especially knowing that Hasbro tends to favor the green guy over, say, Sunstorm, the the colors are pretty interesting. Acid Storm is one of those characters that doesn't have a truly iconic look. His colors tend to be anywhere from dark green to neon green, camo optional, but this time he's sporting teal and purple highlights that we haven't seen before and they look good! Otherwise this is the same model we've already seen start out as Starscream. As mentioned before he's available for order now and is expected to be out in May 2022.

In other news we have some updated shots of the upcoming Windblade kit expected to be out in February in US after multiple delays. And in a little bit of under the radar catchup we have some first looks at Soundwave, Shockwave, and Arcee kits that were displayed in November at SDCC Special Edition. Interestingly while Arcee and Soundwave have heavily stylized designs Shockwave is purely G1 cartoon inspired.

And finally, it isn't just about the models. We're also treated to an early look at Kuro Kara Kuri Cyclonus and Starscream!

Transformers Legacy News: Bulkhead Concept Art and Product Codes

Many found Bulkhead to look a bit too heroic looking in his Legacy proportions. However, it seems that the final product proportions were not the original intent. The original designer was friend to the site, Marcelo Matere uploaded his design to Facebook and while it is very close to the toy we are getting the slight difference in proportions really changes the overall look of the toy. The design makes him appear far more stout, similar to Bulkhead's previous incarnations. You can see that design below.

We also got product codes from JTPrime. These don't reveal any new toys or anything of the sort, they simply further confirm the toys we are getting. These are for Generations Selects, Studio Series and Legacy.

Selects Deluxe Guard: F3071 (rumoured Black Ironhide)
SS Deluxe TF6 Ironhide: F3171
SS Deluxe TF6 Arcee: F3162
SS Voyager 86 Junkyard: F3177
SS Leader 86-12 Sludge: F3203
SS Core 86 Spike: F3142
Legacy Leader Blitzwing: F3062
Legacy Voyager Beast Inferno: F3075
Legacy Voyager Armada Starscream: F3056
Legacy Deluxe Elita 1: F3033
Legacy Deluxe Tarantulas: F3032
Legacy Core Shockwave: F3009
Legacy Core G2 Megatron: F3015
Legacy Core Optimus Prime: F3508 (rumoured repack)

We have very little info on the two reissues that should be coming out soon. We never had listings for either Tigatron nor Scorponok, and no announcement from Hasbro. But they are now available at big box retail in the east. Both Tigatron and Scorponok were spotted at Toysrus in Taiwan, along with a bunch of other cool toys you just don't see on shelves in the west (not even in canada). These iamges come from Prime Rolelr who posted them here. These will still be only found at Walmart in the US and Canada.
This is good news, it means these undocumented reissues are ready for distribution worldwide. No clue when they will show up locally, but it could be sooner rather than later.

Comparison Images of Transformers Buzzworthy SS86 Cliffjumper and Kup with Original Releases

If you thought there were reasons to double dip on Kup, well wait till you get a load of Cliffumper. While the blue chest (which seems to be a solid plastic piece rather than painted clear plastic) is the most obvious part, the grey arms and legs are also different from the original. it has the autobot insignia on the chest too. And the change in deco is not just with the figure, but with the gun too. It is painted blue now, to look more like it did in the G1 episode (photo below). These images came to us from Instagram user tonezone.mp4.

We also have new images of Kup comparing him to the original release.
