Transformers Robots In Disguise

Hasbro‘s Transformers Family You Tube channel has been updated with a fun unboxing video of Transformers: Robots In Disguise Power Surge Optimus Prime. 

The video shows a little kid explaining to his grandpa how the toy works. It cleverly address the audience regarding the features of the toy such as the Mini-Con Gimmick, 5 Easy Steps and Lights/Sounds.

Two other Demo Videos also showed up on the channel featuring Power Heroes and Power Surge Optimal Optimus Prime.

We’ve mirrored the videos with this news post. Check ’em out, after the jump.

Steve Jablonsky Transformers 5 The Last Knight Soundtrack

It was never a question of “If” but more of a question of “When”. Steve Jablonsky is officially on board as the composer of Transformers: The Last Knight.

As previously announced, Major Lazer will join Mr. Jablonsky for the soundtrack.

Speaking via his official Twitter account, Steve Jablonsky stated “Shhhhh…..secret folder. More later….” accompanied with an image of a folder titled “TF5 Theme Ideas“.

Steve Jablonsky worked as the composer of Transformers Live Action Movies since the first one back in 2007. It has been 10 years and he treated fans with some truly epic music over the decade. His recent work on the 2nd Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie this year (not to be confused with Secret Of The Ooze) treated TMNT Fans with an instrumental version of the iconic theme of the 80s.

Severo SP5

Fansproject has updated their Facebook page with a handful of images of a new upcoming release. LER-04 Severo SP will be the Diaclone version of their homage to Grimlock. Most notable difference will be the blue crotch and thighs. No word if this figure will come with his throne accessory or how the figure will see it’s release. But, seeing as how the previous Diaclone Fansproject Dinobot releases were convention exclusives, safe bet is this will be a TFCon Chicago 2016 figure. But, that’s speculation at this point.

Rescue Bots Morbot released in the UK

TFW2005 member FortMax123 brings us some good news for the UK based collectors of the Rescue Bots line. He’s spotted the Morbot at UK retail. Dr Morocco’s personal servant robot, the Morbot has been found in an Asda store. We’d wager that this also means the Morbot’s wavemates such as Quickshadow and Hoist are also now available at UK retail. Happy hunting, Rescue Bots fans!

Combiner Wars Deluxe Wave 6 in Germany

Titans Return is in full swing in Europe, but evidently German retailers haven’t seen the last of the Combiner Wars yet. TFW2005 member Nevermore reports spotting the Combiner Wars Deluxe figures Trailbreaker and Wheeljack at the Karstadt department store inside the Rhein-Ruhr-Zentrum shopping mall in Mülheim an der Ruhr. With the two of these released – and two Trailbreakers present – all signs point to this last assortment of Combiner Wars toys being released at German retail, even after many had assumed it would be passed over there.

Robots in Disguise One Step Changer Six Pack released in the UK

It’s been over a year since it debuted in the USA and Canada, but the Robots in Disguise One Step Changer Collection Six-Pack has made it to the UK. TFW2005 member Napalm – who took the awesome sighting photo you see attached to this post – spotted the set in the Warrington Tesco. The set includes repacks of the individually released One-Step Changers Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Grimlock, Steeljaw, and Underbite, and an exclusive One-Step Changer Optimus Prime who is only available as a part of this set. 

We’re also advised that the set has an RRP of £60, but it is currently selling for half that, at £30 – so you may want to check out your Tesco stores sooner rather than later if you want to get this set, or get it as a gift for the little ones this coming holiday season.
