Greetings Seibertronians! We've got some movie news here that seems to confirm some of what was rumoured earlier by The Illuminerdi.

The news concerns Production Weekly, an film industry magazine that lists all the productions that are looking for cast and crew, giving then the number to reach out to. As you would expect, the list of productions featured is long but one name stands out from the others.

Transformers Beast Alliance.



This confirms that at least as far as the working title goes, Beast Alliance is the next Transformers movie. Being this early though, the name is not set in stone and may well end up changing before released to the general public.

This means what The Illuminerdi posted is right in one sense, meaning the other information they shared may equally be right on the money. Time will tell on that information mind.

The other thing to note that with its incursion here that Production will be starting to ramp up, so expect more news on this project soon.

Does the working name inspire you? Or does it fill you with dread at what Paramount and Hasbro are cooking up?

Greetings Seibertronians! Welcome to another look at the latest rumours floating around about the cinematic version of our favorite franchise.

Let's start off with facts:

These are not new but help keep things grounded.

Fact 1# Steven Caple Jr (Creed II) is the director.
Fact 2# Joby Harold (also working on the Disney+ Initiative Wan Kenobi show) is handling script duties.
Fact 3# the movie is set for release in 2022. This could easily change but that is what they are saying at the moment.

Now, for the rumours, and as always, assume false till proven true.

According to speculation website The Illuminerdi, the next Transformers movie has gained the working title of...Beast Alliance (this is likely to change, if true of course).



Now while you take that it, let's discuss other things mentioned in the article:

Transformers: Beast Alliance takes place in the Bumblebee timeline and will be set in the 1990’s. The film will have the flavor of a heist film that will span from Brooklyn to South America.

Caple and the production are currently looking to cast either an African-American or a Latino actor in his early to mid-twenties for lead role, along with a female co-lead as old or even slightly older, who can pass for a native New Yorker. Unfortunately we were unable to get a double-confirmation of what Transformer robot characters are slated to appear in the upcoming film.

So first off, the idea is to leap a few years in time from the end of Travis Knight's Bumblebee film, presumably breaking it from connectivity with the Bay helmed films (as stands Bumblebee still works as a prequel to 2007's Transformers movie and supplementary material further reinforce it with Megatron being held by Sector 7).

Next, if true, we could be seeing Beast Wars characters a lot earlier then the proposed (but not officially picked up) Beast Wars movie.

There's no solid proof that this is the direction the live action movies will take. If it is true, however, then it will raise the questions of how the Beast Wars cast will fit into a narrative featuring the Autobots in the present day, and if they would use the cartoons scaling or the Kingdom scaling where the Maximals and Predacons seem to same sized as their predecessors.

Now, we turn over to you, the reader.
Do you think there's any truth here? Or do you think that the rumour is beryllium baloney? What path do you think Hasbro should take with the cinematic Autobots and Decepticons?

Transformers Beast Wars Transmetal Figures Rumoured for Reissue

While no direct sources can be given, we wanted to let you all in on the latest Transformers toys rumour. The last reissue we got of an older toy was Blaster, and since then fans have been wondering what's next. Well, two different sources have brought up reissues of figures from the 90s, with further clarification from one source that these would be the Beast Wars Transmetal figures.
If the rumours are true, these should be coming out later this year. With the Kingdom line giving us most of the Beast Wars season 1 bots, many were wondering if Hasbro would redo the Transmetals next and the point that always comes up is that those toys still hold up. They are show accurate (unlike most of the season 1 toys) and have articulation/complexity that would satisfy fans today. Reissues may be easier than redoing them completely in this case.
While first coming out in the mid 90s, the last time these molds were used was in the Armada line. All I can think of right now is the prospect of finally having a Transmetal Megatron that won't crumble in my hands. Let us know what you think, and of course please remember, this is just a rumour.

Greetings Seibertronians! While it may not look like there's been a lot of news on the forthcoming Transformers reboot, due out in 2022 but, that's not the case.

Today, I'll be bring ginger up some news and rumours regarding the next Transformers movie and the ones after it. Before we dive in to the confirmed news, let me make it clear that the rumours must be taken with a pinch of salt and may not amount to everything.

With that said..

Confirmed



production designer Patrick Tatopoulos Joins Transformers (2022)

As the title suggests, Patrick Tatopoulos (Justice League: The Synder Cut, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) has joined the crew working on Steven Caples Jr's (Creed II) new Transformers movie. Patrick has been a frequent collaborator with Zack Synder. The movie, tentatively due for release in 2022, is being developed from a script by Joby Harold (John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum). The film will reboot the movie franchise.

Rumours

New Transformers Movies Focusing on Humans Less, Robots More.



This and the following rumour comes from the same source, supposed Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman, but were reported on by different websites (Daniel posted the rumours to his Patreon page).

This rumour basically says that Hasbro and Paramount have agreed that the movies should focus more on the heroic Autobots/Maximals and Villainous Decepticons/Predacons then the humans, if there is any humans at all. If true, this will please many of the critics of the Bay led movies.

There Will Be A Trilogy Of Beast Wars Movies, Beast Wars Will Be On The Scale Of Avengers Endgame



This rumour will either delight or terrify fans of Beast Wars. The rumours state that Beast Wars will actually get 3 films (and will duly cross over with the main Transformers movie series). The first one is talked about as being on the scale of the last Avengers movie, Endgame. The rumour directly says:

“[It] will be as big as Endgame a HUGE event set mostly in space,” he says.

It should be noted that no Beast Wars movie is officially in production though there is a script for it by James Vanderblit.

Greetings Seibertronians! It was inevitable, but thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Powered Convoy, and Facebook page, DaimChoc Reports, we have the first look at one of Starscream's fellow seekers, Thundercracker!



While we don't have any official confirmation on this seeker's release, we all knew that after the reveal of MP-52 Starscream that the rest of the repaints would follow.

Accessories wise, Thundercracker appears to come with some blast effects, three different facial expressions and his guns. There's also another piece that is hard to make out at the moment, though it could just be a flight stand adaptor.

Written across the image is the date 1.14 which could mean that we will be learning more about Thundercracker next week.

Will you be putting money down for Thundercracker? Are you holding out for Skywarp or any of the other rainbow coloured seekers? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Rumours Abound with Tarantulus, Earth Mode Mirage + Lambos, BW II Skywarp, Dinobots and More

Ok so a lot to unpack here and please remember, these are rumours, not facts. Also, since some rumours go into 2022, it could be that this is what is planned now and it could change between now and then. Like how Gnaw and Brawn were slated for T30 releases and how Titans Return Alpha Trion was gonna be released prior to the TR line without the extra ship mode.

With that preamble out of the way, here are the rumours currently floating around on the internet from various sources (which we will not name directly in case they wish to not be named) which we have compiled here for you.

There will be a lot of exclusives coming, as there have been in previous years. However, Hasbro will be changing it a bit to help Americans who may not have access to those retailers. Usually, all stock of exclusives are sent to the buyer (that being the retailer) but now Hasbro will keep 5% of the stock to sell via Hasbro pulse. So if you have no Walgreens near you, you could buy it on Pulse. But remember, 95% of that toy's stock is still going to Walgreens.

Walgreens exclusive for 2021 is Earth Mode Red Alert

Two Amazon multipacks coming in 2021, Earth Mode Sideswipe (retool) + Beast Wars Grimlock (voyager BW Dinobot redeco) and Earth Mode Mirage (same mold, new deco) + Beast Wars II Skywarp (the eagle figure that was part of Magnaboss but it doesn't combine)

A rerelease of MPM Barricade and MPM 77 Camaro Bumblebee will be part of the Target exclusive Buzzworthy toy line.

Speaking of that line, it will most probably include other iterations of Bumblebee, like his animated form.

Now the next rumour sounds the toughest to believe yet but here it is, there will supposedly be a whole Shatterred Glass line exclusive to Hasbro Pulse. The characters in that line are said to be Jetfire, Megatron, Starscream and Goldbug.

Beast Wars Megatron is rumoured to have 2 upcoming redecos: T-Wrecks and the T-rex from Jurassic park one (probably another of those Crossover toys). They are both exclusives.

There will be 3 additional exclusive seekers based on the Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Starscream mold and they will all be exclusive:

Thundercracker is Amazon exclusive
Skywarp is Walmart exclusive
Thrust is Target Exclusive

While many are hoping for a beast wars Inferno, Tarantulus and Terrorsaur (still the number 1 character Hasbro has yet to do justice to) 2022 will only give us Tarantulus. It will not be based on the Blackarachnia mold. The Crococilde Fossilizer may still happen.

There will be Sweeps (based on Scourge mold of course) and Junkions coming, the line they will be released in is not certain (since now there are 3 lines where a G1 character can be found).

All remaining G1 Dinobots will eventually see the light of day.

There will be an SS86 Coronation Starscream with remolded shoulders and wings in 2022 (this presumes that it will be the same mold at Earthrise Starscream).

Oh and ER 28 was supposed to be Earth Mode Sideswipe
