Hasbro started off the Transformers portion of their San Deigo Comic Con 2019 showing with their annual Preview Breakfast. On display were a few new reveals:
- 35th Anniversary Edition Bluestreak
- 35th Anniversary Edition Soundblaster
- Refraktor 3-pack in toy colors with Kremzeek
Update: Thanks to Benson Yee we have information about the distribution of these items:
- Refraktor is a Fan channel exclusive (Likely to be an online store exclusive).
- SoundBlaster and Bluestreak are Walmart exclusives.
We also know that Hasbro is having a product reveal panel this afternoon, so don’t miss our coverage! Click on the bar to see the images and sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Anyone selling Decepticon Impactor?

i'm not surprised they didn't remold the heads as their big thing is to look virtually identical and the line leans way more towards the cartoon rather than the original toys…
would it have been a nice treat? Yeah sure it would have been…i guess if they ever repaint these guys into someone else (I cannot fathom who that would be though)…

I would have given up all the accessories for toy accurate heads, I was sooooo expecting that new heads. Shocked that there was no change. The center guy would have sufficed.

Just out of curiosity, I checked and they are super easy to get off. I used a small prying tool and it popped right off.

Hey, anyone planning to sell off Decepticon Impactor from the fan vote set?
allew
Especially since the heads don't look to be easily removable and thus no 3rd party upgrade to the rescue
bearytrek
they sorta look like targetmaster weapons, moreso than a spaceship anyways in alt mode…
bradforj
I agree about the ships. I have no use for them in those modes. Actually, I had mostly withdrawn from this hobby until Siege appealed to my son and drew me back in. We now collect together, and we haven't put these toys into the ship mode yet. Probably won't.

I do wish they had spent a couple extra bucks and given them new toy accurate heads.

I wish I could just buy the camera accessories. The retail release looks great the way it is and already has cartoon accuracy. The exclusive set has colors that look off to me, and the spaceship modes just look silly.
Windsweeper II
Too nice. He made me want the MP+, because I'm keeping my CW toys as the Datsuns in my collection.
Murasame
Bluestreak looks nice

Uh oh… it's getting 'real' up in here.
Tman978
It was on the front page pal.

Can I "Collect & Save " my Siege packaging UPC codes fot it?
Digger
I oddly have the same issue. Huh.
SaintsIconsNemesis
Paying respect to classic reflector. I did it. Def buy

Individually, they're basically cybertronian space ships of nondescript, though I suppose one could also make the case that they're spy satellites, maybe?
I've scene a rather cool fan mode though that has all three combined into one big space ship that looks a lot more impressive, almost to the point that one would assume it was originally intentional by design.

I like the the robot modes of Refractor. But what the heck are their transformation modes. LOL
PrimalFury
No one so far has clarified the Omega issue, Amazon lists it as delayed til October but some other Etailers still say August so which is it? Anyone have the scoop?
