Imax have launched a contest for one lucky fan and their guest to win a trip to see the Chicago premiere of Transformers The Last Knight. The sweepstakes are advertised as a chance to see the stars walk down the red carpet, and include a three day, four night stay in the city. There seem to be no restrictions on entry, and you can put your name in the hat once per day for greater odds of winning.
Check out the Imax sweepstakes page here for the full details.
Via Amazon, we have some new official images of the upcoming Allspark Tech Shadow Spark Optimus Prime from Transformers The Last Knight to share with you. The Allspark Tech line revolves around the Allspark Cube; plugging it into the chests of the different toys in the line unlocks lights and sounds. Optimus Prime, and his Shadow Spark dark incarnation, are some of the line’s “starter” packs who come with the Allspark Cube, which these images reveal appears to charge using a standard USB cable charger. The level of articulation on these figures seems to be fairly simple, as are the transformations, but they’ll be cool toys to fiddle about with (or be driven crazy by when Optimus Prime says “I am Optimus Prime” a dozen times in a single night).
Check out the official Hasbro stock images attached to this post.
Yes, 2017 is not even halfway done but we’re getting word of trade paperbacks hitting in 2018! There are two new titles among the collected comics arriving in February next year, which are Transformers: Optimus Prime volume 2, which looks to collect the series’ second arc along with the annual; and First Strike, which collects the upcoming Hasbro universe crossover event where the Transformers once again face off against characters from the likes of G.I. Joe and MASK.
Also coming in 2018 is the previously reported Autocracy trilogy, collecting the trio of miniseries published by IDW set in the early days of Cybertron’s past and charting the rise of both Optimus Prime and Megatron. It is due to hit in January 2018.
Always striving to give Transformers fans the figures they want and need for their collections, Fans Toys continues to expand on its upcoming ’86 movie roster with the addition of FT-24 Rouge (Masterpiece Arcee). She is obviously meant to scale with their upcoming releases of Hoodlum (Hot Rod), Koot (Kup) and Apache (Springer) as well as their already released Sovereign (Galvatron).
Thanks to board member and Fans Toys spokesman dalianjj, we now have official prototype images of Rouge which showcase the articulation and attention to detail that we have come to expect from Fans Toys’ figures. In addition, these pictures display the swappable chest piece accessory which allows collectors to give the figure a more movie-accurate appearance. It is also reported that Rouge will come with four swappable faces for further customization.
Unfortunately we do not have a release date or pricing information for this figure, but be sure to drop by the discussion thread in the link below to share your thoughts. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for the pre-order to drop at your favorite site sponsor.
We are already onto August this year. Thanks to Forces Of Geek, we have with us the list of IDW Transformers Solicitations for the aforementioned month of 2017.
This August we will see…

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Santos Churata; a huge fan of the Transformers franchise uses his passion to design of eye-catching houses for the rich.
“Churata says that he has been a fan of superhero and robot comics and movies for as long as he can remember, and that his life-long passion has given him all kinds of interesting ideas for architectural design. Santos is not a professional architect, but claims to have mastered the necessary skills to design and build large, intricate houses by working alongside his father, an actual architect, since he was 16 years old. After seeing his previous work, clients don’t really care about his degree, and trust him to build them the most eye-caching homes imaginable.
Santiago Churata’s first house was built in the Alentejo neighborhood, and themed after Sentinel Prime. The facade was done in red, blue and silver and featured reflective black window shaped like robotic faces. The silver doors are shaped like the popular logo of the autobots, which also appears engraved into the floor.”
