under Generations / Classics

Via ShangjingHong on Facebook, we can report what might be a lineup for The Power of The Primes. If this is accurate, we can expect Deluxe class Classics Dinobots in 2018, together with the Terrorcons, Moonracer, Firestar (now called Novastar), a Voyager class Elita-1 and a Combiner Wars Hot Spot decoed as Inferno, as well as Hun-Grrr and Grimlock. Leader class will include a black Rodimus Prime; “Rodimus Unicronus”, which has to be a placeholder name, and a new Optimus Prime who combines with his trailer (so soon after Titans Return did Powermaster Optimus?) . There are also Legends and Prime Master figures on show, including a Legends class Battletrap.

The leaks are rounded out with a Titan Class Combiner Predaking, and a full lineup of the alleged Tribute Movie Leader class rereleases.

Take this all with a healthy dose of scepticism, as several images seem to be a bit too blurry, use stock artwork images, or images of old toys.

Via Snakas, we have a look at a redeco of Age of Extinction Snarl which is now being offered exclusively at Universal Studios stores, such as those accompanying Transformers the Ride 3D and also the Universal Studios store in Orlando International Airport. The images show that like the other Dinobots re-released for Transformers The Last Knight, Snarl is dropping his former, bright deco for a more subdued palette of grays which is in keeping with the original concept artwork.

If getting the Movie Dinobots in their The Last Knight grays is something you are seeking to do, then be sure to check out Universal for this exclusive recolor.

Thanks to an online CV submitted by Boulder Media Studio writer Ben Ward, we now know a little bit more on the upcoming animated series Rescue Bots Academy.

According to the CV, the new show is aimed for a TV release rather than the rumored Web Series.

The project status is listed as ‘In Development’.

Ben Ward is currently working as a writer on the upcoming Micronauts series as well. His past works include Danger Mouse and Peter Rabbit.

The majority of the fun for the Transformers brand at SDCC 2017 is over, but we still have a handful of images left to check out! Our news crew has gone back to snap some pics of the highly-anticipated Leader Dragonstorm from the Transformers The Last Knight movie line. Here you can see the two robots that form the three-headed dragon standing behind them, and get a bit of an idea of scale as movie masterpiece Bumblebee stands just a few inches away.

Via TFW2005 member Rookbartley, we have word that the Transformers The Last Knight Allspark Tech starter packs have started to hit US retail. The starter packs – which consist of Optimus Prime in both his heroic and nemesis “Shadow Spark” flavors – include the main figure (Optimus) plus an Allspark Cube which plugs into the chest of the toys in the line to unlock light and sound features. The pair of these were sighted in Toys R Us – perhaps the rest of the line will follow soon?
