Greetings Seibertronians! Hasbro held another Fans First Friday today and it brought a few Transformers reveals to indulge in!
The first two will appeal to fans of the Live Action movies series as it answers a long wish to see Dino, from Transformers Dark of the Moon, finally arrive in Studio Series! The other new entry for Studio Series is B-127 (Cybertronian mode Bumblebee from his self titled movie)!
Check out the images below and Hasbro Pulse preorder links to me sure you don't miss out on these two!

CYBERTON. OPTIMUS PRIME assigns AUTOBOT scout B-127 an important mission – to establish a base on
a well-hidden planet called Earth. Fans can remove the backdrop, pose the figure out with the included
blaster accessory and imagine recreating this classic movie moment!

The other reveal was the return of Ectotron! Marking a new entry in the Transformers x Ghostbusters collaborative line, Ectotron is back with a new head sculpt, and a new paint job to bring his alt mode of Ecto 1 up to date with its appearance in Ghostbusters: Afterlife! This release also comes with the first issue of the IDW Transformers x Ghostbusters comic miniseries, featuring a brand new cover, so you can read up on Ectotron's encounter with the Ghostbusters! There's also a brand new mini ghost figure to go along with Slimer!
This release is a Target Exclusive.
Hasbro wrote:Transformers: Generations – Transformers Collaborative: Ghostbusters: Afterlife Ecto-1 Ectotron
(Ages 8 and Up / Approx. Retail Price: $49.99 / Available: 01/01/2021)
Worlds collide in this TRANSFORMERS-Ghostbusters mash-up as the iconic Ecto-1 Cadillac from the
Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie now as a TRANSFORMERS robot – the ECTO-1 ECTOTRON! He ain’t afraid of
no ghosts. ECTOTRON stands at 7 inches tall, converts between Ecto-1 and robot mode in 22 steps, comes
with a Proton Pack, Blaster accessories, classic Slimer ghost figure, Ghostbusters Afterlife-inspired
Muncher ghost figure, and an issue number 1 of the “Transformers Ghostbusters Ghosts of Cybertron”
comic book from IDW Publishing, featuring an exclusive cover. The figure also features an updated head
sculpt, including updated Ecto-Goggles, inspired by Ghostbusters: Afterlife and afterlife Tech Specs
showing the capabilities of ECTOTRON, including strength, speed, and bust-abilty.
TRANSFORMERS robots have always been MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE, but now, through the
TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger than life characters as they team-up,
mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams and people who share this same special quality.
Available exclusively at Target and for pre-order on Target.com on Friday November 13, 2020 at 1:00pm
EST.

Damn, first G1 Jazz showing up in the '86 line. Now we got Dino for the regular Studio Series line. Sure, the vehicle mode isn't one-to-one the same as the Ferrari 458 Italia, but at least they tried.

Those look so good!
I wonder if Bumblebee will have to option to switch heads.
Dino looks cool,but I want to see more so we can look at the articulation and transformation.
I like the new head on Ectron.
It's good to see the line coming together.
Day 318 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Between Dino and Blitzwing I do hope any future Transformers movies secure the toy rights before making film models for them. That said I'll buy Dino like I did Blitz' but I am not thrilled. (OK, that shouldn't be an issue with Beast Wars, but...)
Not sure on Bee though. I have the mold in Cliffjumper and not sure I care to have every possibly variation of Bee Hasbro puts out, even if it is a more sizable difference than the usual Camero tweaks.

At long last, we finally have a Deluxe Dino! Granted the vehicle mode is a bit ugly, but otherwise he looks decent enough. It's a shame they didn't also show the Deluxe Jolt we're supposedly getting, I have no interest in that B-127 or the Beewun Starscream that was announced a while ago, but I'll likely pick up Dino.

Press release says Ectotron is $49.99, which is a little steep, but Target is saying $59.99! You can still get the original on Pulse for $39.99! That's quite the markup for an extra ghost and a comic.

Dino’s car mode is 458y enough, plus they got the details right in his chest so I’m not too pressed about it. And I honestly figured they were just going to be reissuing the first ectotron so at least it’s something different, even if only slightly

Because Ferrari wouldn't give them the license, so they had to genericfy it to avoid trouble.

Not quite. Ferrari is a bit fickle with its licensing with exclusivity, meaning only one company can have it at any given time. At first it was Mattel with its Hot Wheels line, but in 2014 they lost it to The May Cheong Group with its Maisto brand... which may work in our favor, because in Japan they go through Tomy with its Tomica line.

While they didn’t go with the Ferrari, the alt. Mode looks pretty similar (though not identical) to Dino’s alt. mode from the DOTM game. Can’t take credit for noticing this though, Hisbrawler pointed this out on TFW yesterday.
(This screenshot is from the multiplayer customization screen, thus why Dino is green instead of red)

yeah, that is a bit crazy, I was all ready to purchase a couple to display both modes, but I can't see spending that much on one let alone two.
not bad timing considering Ghostbusters Afterlife is not scheduled for release after all the movie theaters go under due to lockdowns.

Screw it, with the Target coupon and Red Card 5% it was only $46 and change with is only a couple of dollars more than the original on Pulse. I kept my order on Pulse because quite frankly it could very well get delayed and if it arrives before the Target one arrives then I'll leave it in the packaging until I get my Target order or, more than likely, Target cancels my pre-order.

I was super happy with the reveals.
Bee is a meh, because Cliffjumper was pretty bad, but I still pre-ordered him.
Dino, FINALLY!!!!!! He looks pretty good! Not perfect, but he looks pretty dang good, and the "at last" factor is huge.
Ectotron is a surprise. i was expecting Ghost Starscream, but I am OK with this. I like the new head, the paint job isn't bad, and the new ghost looks cool. Price is steep, but I did use some Target coupons to get him for $45 shipped, so that works.

While we have seen many complaints of there being too many Bumblebees on the shelves, one of the most coveted toys from Hasbro for the past year(s) is a Bumblebee toy. The deluxe toy from the second wave of the Netflix line, available only at Walmart, and it was the only release of this specific mold with the Volkswagen alt mode. Well, Canadian retailer Toysnowman, who ships to the US, was able to get a shipment of these (along with the other Netflix deluxes). It is available right now with a limit of 1 per order for 39.99 CAD (31$ USD), which is about half what it goes for e-bay at times. Do be wary of international shipping though if you are outside Canada.

Here is what Hasbro posted on their Facebook page today:
While many fans were wondering if this would be our first look at the upcoming Rise of the Beasts toys, please remember that Hasbro has never had Cyberverse toys as part of their presentations, which is our closest comparison for a toy line. Also, the Bumblebee Movie toyline was revealed with as little fanfare as possible. Just things to keep in mind.
RISE UP! And catch the Transformers team this Friday, February 4th, at 11:00am ET for their first FanFirstFriday stream of 2022 on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel. It's going to be full of franchise news, product reveals, and pre-order news. The Decepticons sure know how to lure ya in, so don't miss it!

The only other thing that would make sense for the 20th, would be Prime, and we know we ain't getting that. Maybe another repaint of Siege Megs in Armada colors.

I know some commentary was made regarding the last couple of TF FFF about how Hasbro has been transitioning towards more of an Entertainment company as opposed to just a toy company, and those comments are fair points. However there is new leadership now, and most of the non-toy items (mobile games, other miscellaneous items) have fallen flat. So hopefully this FFF will get back to basics and just focus on toys.
Also hopefully , they wont spend a lot of time retreading old news. We know Legacy Wave 1 and the first SS wave for 2022 are imminent, as well as that overly priced remote control Optimus Prime. No need to rehash old news.
We know Diaclone Bluestreak, BW Buzzsaw, BW Nightprowler, and BW Sandstorm already have leaked reviews. So as to whether these are Selects, or retailer exclusives, I imagine we will find out. Hopefully wave 2 of Legacy, and the next wave of SS overall will get reveals as well. That's probably too much to hope for, but considering, once upon a time, Toy Fair would show us 6 months (or roughly 2 waves) worth of product at least, I know it can be done.

Surely you mean.... 20th!!!! anniversary. We got a single nod to R.I.D for its 20th, and we know we are getting an Armada Starscream in Voyager size class.
You're right,my bad.The hype is too big!
The only other thing that would make sense for the 20th, would be Prime, and we know we ain't getting that. Maybe another repaint of Siege Megs in Armada colors.

I agree with just about all your points, and you share my hopes for this FFF. But knowing the entire last year’s worth of FFF’s, this one will likely rehash every single thing you just mentioned in hopes to pan out the time.

However there is new leadership now, and most of the non-toy items (mobile games, other miscellaneous items) have fallen flat. So hopefully this FFF will get back to basics and just focus on toys.
Also hopefully , they wont spend a lot of time retreading old news. We know Legacy Wave 1 and the first SS wave for 2022 are imminent, as well as that overly priced remote control Optimus Prime. No need to rehash old news.
We know Diaclone Bluestreak, BW Buzzsaw, BW Nightprowler, and BW Sandstorm already have leaked reviews. So as to whether these are Selects, or retailer exclusives, I imagine we will find out. Hopefully wave 2 of Legacy, and the next wave of SS overall will get reveals as well. That's probably too much to hope for, but considering, once upon a time, Toy Fair would show us 6 months (or roughly 2 waves) worth of product at least, I know it can be done.

I know I've said this before, but...Me Grimlock want to see Sludge.
Honestly, with all the talk of price increases (even the PotP increase stings for me, and that was years ago!) I've convinced myself that if it's not a Dinobot, I ain't getting it.

There are several people like that. Some are still going for the whole line. But some are widdling their lists down, and specific characters to check off are becoming fewer and far between. One SS Leader Dinobot per year definitely takes patience. But it took 2 years to complete RotF Devastator, and I'm all in on MPG Raiden, so yeah, it's going to be a long haul for many of us.
Late 2020 SS86 Grimlock
Late 2021 SS86 Slag
*Assuming Late 2022 SS86 Sludge
*if"Hasbro makes Swoop a large Voyager we could conceivably get the last two Dinobots in 2023... only time will tell. By then Voyagers will probably cost almost $40 USD...the same as what a Leader cost during CW/TR...

If having Swoop be a leader means I need to wait an extra year, then so be it. I'm in no rush for mediocrity. I don't see how a voyager could work without some sacrifices few of us would stand for.

I agree… Although if he’s just slightly shorter than the rest, I could be okay with that.
But regular voyager height will be a ginormous letdown.
Before, I caved to others saying, “Look at character model charts”.
But at this point I don’t care about that; when I stand OP next the Grimlock & think, “Would it look weird if Swoop was only this tall?”.
Absolutely. It will really look like some crazy mistake.
Here’s why I have hope he’ll be leader class:
Even if he’s slightly shorter than the others, he could still be substantially larger than regular voyagers.
He shouldn’t require intricate engineering, even if they do a good job of articulation with his wings.
Just because he’s taller than a normal voyager doesn’t mean he has to be super bulky. Even with large wings & missiles… He shouldn’t use more plastic than the others.
Then stop & think that Hastak would sell this guy for $55+ per figure instead of $35+.
Imo making him a voyager seems like a loss for everyone.
What I’m hoping for in terms of the release:
Swoop is leader class for SS86 in early 2023.
Snarl is in the mainline mid to late 2023.

Looking at past FFF, it will probably be wave 2 of Legacy which does have lots of Decepticons.
Also further proof that this won't be about the ROTB toyline as there are no Decepticons in that toyline. They may give us a first look at things though, like concept art, could be fun.

This makes perfect sense. I really had no strong opinion one way or the other, I was just reiterating what I had heard from others. It seems just as many people feel as you do WJ, and that is cool. I've been watching a LOT of videos online. Long time Star Wars, Marvel Legends, TF fans etc... are more and more in it for the long waiting game, maybe only getting a couple of figures per year that are on their personal *want lists*, as opposed to whole waves or lines.
That isn't to say that some people wont be all in on Legacy, or SS but I've just been preparing myself to be more focused on my spending and to go perhaps many months between purchases. It seems others are as well.

I hear that. I'll wait for quality work. Though, I can see a voyager Swoop being tolerable, because of the wingspan factor. Wingfinger was a Deluxe with almost no heft to him - a skinny little stringbean. But somehow, it looks bigger simply because the wings spread out so wide. If half of each of Swoop's wings wind up being just 3 inches, then each outspread wing would be six inches - making the wingspan at least a foot wide, not including any of the body parts between the wings. That would be a lot of shelf space, even for a voyager. Visually, that would make Swoop appear larger than Grimlock or Slag. Kind of like how Batman flares his cape to make himself seem more impressive than he actually is....
