Transformers news, often being true to their name, can sometimes be more than meets the eye. It can turn up on the most unlikely of places. As is the case with this particular news; which turned up on a business related news article.

Hasbro is actively in development of a fully fledged theatrical production studio for animation. The studio is set out to develop multiple movies in the foreseeable future.

Together with Boulder Media Limited, this independent production studio is described as “a truly unique studio and academic facility with stand-out identity and world-wide appeal. Hollywood production would truly be happening in the centre of Dún Laoghaire – with regularity”.

The studio will house up to 650 staff members, which is roughly half the size of Pixar Animation Studio.

Hasbro is planning to use the studio for a number of theatrical movies on a long-term repeating cycle. We believe that movies such as Transformers, My Little Pony, G.I. Joe and Power Rangers will receive forefront attention.

Though planned to locate in Ireland; the home of Boulder Media, the plan has already hit a snag with Dún Laoghaire Council declining the use of old Stena Line terminal which is unused since 2015. You can read more about is via Irish Times.

We have some new Packaging And Stock Photos of the upcoming Transformers: Cyberverse Power Of The Spark Scout Class Wave 4 Action Attack Optimus Prime And Scraplet  for your viewing pleasure.

The Action Attack Optimus Prime with “Energon Axe Attack” is a remold and redeco of the previous “Ion Attack” Optimus Prime toy from 2018, now with a battle axe and new head.

The Action Attack Scraplet toy (based on his Transformers Prime design) surprises us with a very nice silver deco with rusty details. He can “transform” from a bipedal mode to his regular 4-legged Scraplet form, featuring a rotating “Saw Tooth Spin”  gimmick inside his mouth.

Space Ape has shared with us the details on yet another event featuring a new pair of characters and their abilities. Blades and Dirge join the fight this weekend in the totaliser event, Planet Terror. Both characters feature the ability Safe Zone (Blades)/Fear Inducing Signal (Dirge) which drops a hacking bomb that deals damage to the area and confuses enemies, reducing attack speed and causing them to turn on their own forces for a short amount of time.

Check out the full details after the jump. Good luck this weekend!

More to say, we have about TCG Wave 3 today thanks to Design Lead Ken Nagle debuting a new Battle Master:

The more dangerous part of Raider Blowpipe is his Weapon mode – the Dual-Impact Shatterblast Compression Cannon, taking colors to the extreme. Each different color gives +1 attack. Flipping all five colors currently in the game (orange, blue, white, green,  and the new black icon introduced in this set) gives +5 attack and easily biggest attack bonus from a Weapon.

Read up on the design rules details in Ken’s column, then share your strategies on the 2005 boards!

By way of Screen Rant, the Generals are reporting for Transformers Trading Card Game Wave 3 duty:

  • This iteration of Optimus takes his position as leader of the Autobots especially serious. While in his starting Truck (alt) mode Optimus Prime’s ability grants both Bold and Tough to his allies, allowing them to attack and defend more profitably. After you’ve used your allies to attack, flip Optimus to bot mode, granting bold and tough to himself, along with the new Focus ability.
  • General Megatron is not the selfless leader that Optimus is, and it shows in his card design. Megatron wants players to slowly amass a stockpile of Weapon cards on the battlefield to best take advantage of his Alt Mode, and in his Bot Mode, he wants all of the cards to revolve around him.
