under Generations / Classics, Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

For the next installment in our Titans Return galleries, we’d like to share a photoshoot of the Legends class Autobot Roadburn.

Roadburn is something different. He’s a red remold of Titans Return Bumblebee, who – shockingly – is not Cliffjumper, but rather, one of the Throttlebots, Chase (renamed to avoid confusion with the Rescue Bot). The deco works really nicely on the mold, and the new head is a nice throwback to the Generation 1 toy. We’d even argue the mold works better in red, and that the black trim on the vehicle mode is the icing on this robot cake. We also do not think this is the last time we’ve seen this mold – while the deco is Throttlebot Chase, the head has some cues from Chase’s fellow Thottlebot, Freeway – and we’d love to see how this mold would look in Freeway’s blue and grey deco.

For now, though, check out our photoshoot of Roadburn:

Once again, Twitter user @miiakira2017 shares More Transformers Generation 1 & Diaclone Early Concept Art.

This time we have some peculiar early designs. First, a possible idea for Transforming notebooks in Autobot and Decepticon versions. The next art looks like an alternate design for Terrorcon Hun-Gurr. As an extra bonus, we also can see some concept arts for what seems to be the Diaclone Fortress Robot X. 

You can check the full resolution images after the jump and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!

Hasbro has issued a special announcement to warmly welcome press and the attendees of Brand Licensing Europe 2017 to visit their booth this year. While the announcement highlights what they will be exhibiting on the show floor, one particular line caught our attention:

“Earlier this year we released Transformers: The Last Knight and we announced a Bumblebee Movie due out in theaters December 2018. And in June 2019, we will unveil an entirely new, exciting storyline for Transformers. That’s three movies in three years, as well as our television programming, gaming and growing consumer product portfolio. It’s a fantastic time to be involved in Transformers”

– Katherine Buckland, Senior Licensing Director EMEA (Hasbro Consumer Products)

This is our first official statement regarding the Transformers movie to be out in 2019. We found the above statement to be rather odd for a couple of reasons; The announcement does not highlight the 2019 Transformers Movie as Transformers 6 (or 7). It also refers to the aforementioned movie as “an entirely new storyline”. Maybe we are reading too much into it but we’d definitely love to know what our forum members make out of it.

Additionally, Tom Warner, Senior VP Transformers stated that storytelling is key in engaging with new and current fans and driving growth. Production has already started on the 2018 film, which will be based on kids’ favorite; Bumblebee. The third film is slated for 2019.

You can check out the scanned Transformers portion of the Press Release, after the jump. Brand Licensing Europe 2017 will take place this October 10th at Olympia London, UK. Hasbro booth can be located at D-40.
