Out of left field, Takara Tomy have announced a Summer Wonder Fest exclusive of Dark of the Moon Laserbeak. Now, this is not of the minion proper, but rather of Dark of the Moon Bumblebee, recently used in the Movie The Best Line, painted pink. This references the scene where Laserbeak turned into a mini Bumblebee clone that was pink in order to trick a NASA agent’s child and get inside the house unnoticed. It will be available at the show at the end of July for 4,300 Yen (roughly 38 US dollars). Read on to check Pinky Bee!

With the release of the 50th figure on the Legends series, Takara Tomy is holding a consumer survey about future reissues and other figure lines:

A few questions about purchase habits:

  • How often do you buy
  • How much do you plan on spending on figures?

And another few questions about your collections, questions both about Legends and Masterpiece Series:

  • How do you display your collection?
  • Which figures do you have?
  • Which figures would you want to see reissued?
  • What do you like about the LG/Masterpiece line?

The survey is in Japanese, you can see it here. You will need an account to access further, so in case you don’t. Feel free to share your answers to this survey on the boards!

We previously reported this special black redeco of TR Optimus Prime, and now we have some extra details and the confirmation that this Special Edition Primitive Skateboarding Optimus Prime will be a San Diego Comicon Exclusive.

Hyperbeast.com shared clear pictures in both modes and packaging and information about this release:

“Transformers: The Last Knight hits theaters June 21, and fanatics can celebrate the movie with a new Optimus Prime action figure. The autobot figurine was partially designed by Primitive Skateboarding founder Paul Rodriguez, and features some updates to the character’s traditional red and blue paint job. This Prime belongs to the Titans Return Powermaster reprise and is decorated in black and gold — a nod to Primitive’s signature colors. The toy figurine also comes with a ramp, rail, and hoverboard, so it can “Shreddicus Maximus” whenever he’s not battling the Decepticons.

Hasbro plans to premiere and sell the Primitive-Transformer for $50 USD at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, July 20. Leftovers will be available on Hasbro’s online site after the convention”.

under Generations / Classics, Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

Our next Transformers gallery update is a toy who topped many favorite of 2016 lists. It’s the one and only, Triggerhappy!

Triggerhappy deserves his fame for good reason. First, he’s an excellent likeness of the original toy, right down to the arm transformation and the double-barreled lasers that make him look like something out of a 1980s shoot-em-up arcade game. Second, he has a clever transformation – dare we saw, the cleverest in the line until Topspin came along? Third, the robot mode looks every bit as excellent as the spaceship mode, with the added bonus of a full range of poseability. The great thing is, the robot mode is remarkably clean with a minimum of leftover vehicle parts, and there is little to get in the way of the poseability.

Triggerhappy is very much one of the best examples of what Hasbro is capable of doing with the Transformers in the current day. Check out his gallery to see why we’re being so positive about him.

Doublecross, or as he is known of late, Twinferno, has been getting a bit of buzz with the announcement of his impending Japanese release in the Transformers Legends line, so here is a photoshoot of the double-dragonbot!

Twinferno is a leftfield choice for the Titans Return line, but we’re not complaining. Both robot and dragon modes are very cool updates of the original’s design, which benefit from the increased molded detail a modern Transformer offers while staying faithful to the look of the original. He’s by no means perfect – there are problems with getting the dragon mode legs to lock in, the robot mode arms could really have done with a wrist swivel, and the 5mm ports for the guns on the “hands” are way too tight and stressed when putting the guns in. But in spite of these flaws, Twinstrike comes out with a cool look, solid poseability, and a nice choice outside of the obvious candidates for the line. Shoutout also goes to the inclusion of the Battle Beast White Lion for the Headmaster figure – a nice nod to Doublecross’ appearance in the Japanese Headmasters series.

Check out the photoshoot here:

Via Forbidden Planet, we have a look at a slew of new Titans Return official stock images. Images on show in this update include Deluxe Class wave 5 Twin Twist, Windblade and Misfire, Legends Class wave 5 Cosmos and Seaspray, Voyager Class wave 5 Blitzwing and Octone, as well as the mighty Titan class Trypticon.

One potentially exciting development is on show here, and it involves paint! Specifically, the stock images of the wave 5 deluxes all show some paint apps on the Titan Master figures, with Misfire’s partner Aimless looking particularly well done.

Here is hoping that these paint apps make the cut on the final release versions, too.

Thanks to 2005 Boards member griffin-of-oz via Ozformers for sharing great news for Australian fans since Titans Return Trypticon Is In Australian Stores.

They got information and pictures for Tryticon cases and they let us know thay stores have been told to sit on them until the mid-year toy sale starts in two weeks time, but some stores may start putting them on shelves as soon as they get them, and since they scan at the price-checker, you should be able to buy one if you find a store that puts it out for sale.

The full price of this figure is AU$298 (about US$220). Happy Hunting for all Australian fans!
